Wife by Day Boss by Night (Natalie and Brian ) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 

“Spill it, what’s up?” Natalie offered Gracia a cup of coffee with a thud on the table in front of her and said. Gracia pulled her gaze from the window and met Natalie in silence. 

Natalie caught that pitiful look in Gracia’s eyes and felt a wave of nausea. 

If she didn’t know Gracia that well, it would be a different story, but after over a decade of friendship, she 

knew her like the back of her hand. 

“Did you get a paparazzo to take some sneaky shots outside?” Natalie glanced out the window, probing. 

“No,” Gracia replied softly. 

While talking, she fiddled with her phone, seemingly sending a message.

“Let me teach you a thing or two today, Natalie said, lifting an eyebrow subtly 

As she spoke, Natalie suddenly grabbed Gracia’s wrist, which was holding the coffee cup 

“What are you doing!” Gracia jerked back as Natalie tightened her grip, unable to shake her off, and winced. 

“I took an elective abroad once, where we covered a theory called the victim complex,” Natalie said with 

a faint smile. 

T’m just reminding you that tricks like framing only work once or twice. If you use them too much, you don’t need me to tell you that others will catch on to your game. I hope you’ll remember this lesson. Stop bothering mer 

With that Natalie twisted Gracia’s hand, spilling the still–scalding coffee all over Gracia’s lap. 

“Ah!” Natalie screamed, staggering back a few steps, frantically shaking off the coffee. “Gracia, what have you done?
