A Cue for Love Chapter 37 Playing the Victim Natasha scoffed like she had heard the worldâs funniest joke.
âMarket price? What a big mouth you have! You know how much these shoes cost, and you think you can pay me back?â
Natalie sized her up quietly.
âIf you donât want me to pay, Iâll leave.â
âWho said I donât want you to pay? This is a limited edition pair by Ada. Itâs worth three hundred thousand.â Natasha raised her chin proudly. She said sympathetically, âIt isnât a small amount. Donât hold out if you canât actually pay.â
Three hundred thousand for a pair of shoes?
The police disliked such economic disputes. They were at a loss for words.
âGive me your bank card.â
âWhat?â
âLet me see.â
âFine. Here.â
Natasha took out her bank card and showed it to Natalie for just a few moments, before putting it back inside her designer bag.
Natalie remained silent. She tapped her pale fingers on her phone screen.
Ding!
Natalie looked up lazily. âPlease check your messages. You should have received the money.â
âWhat?â
Natashaâs voice raised an octave higher. She stared back in disbelief.
âWhat the⦠Are you being pretentious? T-this isnât possible!â
Natalie didnât take Natashaâs mockery seriously.
Xavian spoke curtly. âWhatâs not possible? Instead of blabbering so much, just check your phone to see if my Mommy transferred the money.â
Onlookers gradually gathered around.
âShe already said she transferred the money. Just check it!â
âWhoâs the one putting up an act now?â
âItâs going to be so embarrassing if she really transferred the money!â
Natasha was the daughter of a wealthy family and wanted to be seen as above the average person.
Although three hundred thousand wasnât a huge sum to her, she didnât believe the ugly girl in front of her had the ability to pay up.
Huffing in anger, she took out her phone. âLet me check then! How long you can keep up with your lies?â
She opened up her notifications.
Natasha felt like her head was about to explode.
The text message notified her that she had received a total of three hundred thousand, not a penny more or less.
Everything happened too fast. Her complexion paled, and her voice trembled as she spoke. âH-How?
W-Where did you get so much money?â
âYouâve already been compensated. Who the heck asks where the money came from?â
âYouâ¦â
Natalie was ruthless. She swept a glance at the high heels.
âSince I paid you every penny, you can take off your shoes now.â
âWhat do you mean?â Natasha stared at Natalie with wide eyes.
âCome now, is that really that hard to understand?â Xavian tilted his head. His eyes were dark.
âMommy already paid for the shoes. So now sheâs the owner! Arenât you embarrassed to be wearing someone elseâs shoes?â
When Xavian spoke such ruthless words in his sickly sweet voice, Natasha was completely stunned.
It took a long time for Natasha to find her voice again. âHow can you do this? If you take away my shoes, what am I going to wear?â
âWhat are you going to wear?â Natalie responded casually but coldly, âWhat does that matter to me?â
âYou! Youâre shameless!â
âIâm shameless? Natalieâs lips curved into a mocking smile. She glanced at the police officer beside her. âOfficer, am I wrong for doing this?â
The officers thought about the context and replied carefully.
âNot at all.â
