Chapter 314: A Cue For Love Chapter 316

A Cue for Love chapter 316 Samuel Loses His Temper Natalie was beginning to grasp the true extent of the matter after interrogating her sons.

This fatty with a punching bag for a face is obviously not telling the truth. Though it can be forgiven if a five-year-old can’t think for himself, isn’t it ludicrous how the mother jumped to conclusions by accusing Xavian and commenting about the way he is being brought up? Stupid b*tch, I’ll show her!

Natalie clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into the flesh of her palms, though she felt no pain.

“You may accuse my son of whatever you want,” Natalie said quietly with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

“But you’d better have the evidence to back it up. All you’re basing this upon is what your own child claimed. I don’t think his word is sufficient enough proof.”

At the mere mention of the lost pendant, Minerva became agitated once more.

“Your son’s thieving little fingers did it! Why don’t you ask him instead of accusing my son’s integrity?”

“This pendant was given to Milton by his grandmother,” she continued, getting more worked up by the minute. “It has been hanging from his neck since the day he was born. Five years ago, it was valued to be at ten million. I shudder to even imagine how much it would cost today. If your son doesn’t return the pendant, you are going to have to pay for it. Otherwise, be prepared to go to prison!”

Natalie gave a sardonic smile.

Can’t produce a shred of evidence, can you? Now I know you’re full of sh*t, just like your idiotic son.“Aside from your son’s bold claim, do you have nothing more to add to the credibility of your accusation?” asked Natalie once more, this time with a cold smile upon her lips. “Instead of going after my son for your precious pendant, why don’t you ask your son where he’d left it?”

Milton shifted guiltily to the back at the sound of her words.

Minerva did not notice anything unusual with her son’s behavior. Instead, she maintained her swagger.

“What for? Why would my son frame yours for no apparent reason?” Minerva cast Xavian another look of disgust before turning to address Wendell. “Isn’t this a prestigious institution? How could you allow such uncultured scum to be enrolled?”

Clayton and Xavian leaped to their feet, fists clenched as they bristled with rage.

Natalie gazed at Minerva with her eyes narrowed menacingly for a long while before uttering a single word. “Despicable.”

“Who do you think you are, calling me degrading names like that?” Minerva shouted as she jabbed a ferocious finger in the air inches from Natalie’s unflinching nose.

“According to my son,” she continued, her lips twisting into a sneer. “Your children never had a father figure around growing up. I used to feel pity for you but now that I’ve met all of you, I couldn’t blame the children’s father for ditching all of you. A better man than he might have even-”

Her verbal abuse was suddenly replaced by a shrill scream.

“Ah!”

Natalie had caught Minerva’s accusatory finger. All Minerva could do was watch in horror as her finger became dislocated with a deft flick of the former’s wrist.

Under the impression that her finger had been broken, she howled in pain as she threw furious and terrified glares at Natalie.

At that critical moment, Leonard Swan dashed into the office.

At the sight of her husband’s arrival, Minerva began crying pitifully. “Hubby, Milton’s pendant has been stolen by this woman’s brat and he has been beaten up by the other! She even broke my finger!”

Though she was plain in appearance, Minerva had managed to marry into the Swan family by a combination of manipulation and skills in the bedroom.

Some years before, Leonard had managed to make his fortune and a name for himself in Dellmoor in property development. As his business had been on an upward trajectory, his ego swelled alongside his assets.

Upon hearing about the suffering his wife and son had endured, Leonard’s eyes blazed with anger.

“How dare you, woman!” Leonard shouted as he rolled up his sleeves to reveal a set of thick forearms.

Natalie narrowed her eyes as she readied herself for his onslaught. The safety of her children not forgotten, she pushed them behind her out of harm’s way.

At the instant when Leonard raised his fist, a deep but menacing voice rang out.

“Step aside!”
