The Promise of Happiness (Natalie and Samuel) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 

In contrast to the shocked reaction of the others, this was all well within Natalie‘s expectations. 

She had heard from Ross about Belle‘s conspiracy. 

Instead of exposing her right away, she decided to go with the flow. 

She wanted to take revenge on Belle for all that Belle had done to her in the past. 

Belle shook her head vigorously. “It‘s not me! I swear it‘s not me!” 

A black cat was well–known as a bad omen since ancient times. 

Not to mention, this black cat had been dead for a long time, and it was completely covered in blood, making it seem even more horrible. 

Max stood up from his chair, roaring, “Belle, if it‘s not from you, who else would have given it to me? I have been trusting you and showering you with love as if you were my own family member. How could you do this to me?” 

“Old Mr. Watsons, it really wasn‘t me!” 

“Don‘t try to talk your way out of this one!” 

A wave of resentment flooded Belle. 

Feeling wronged, she burst into tears. 

“I swear that I had prepared a goddess sculpture for you! This dead cat wasn‘t my doing!” 

Clearly not believing Belle anymore, Max harrumphed. “Where is the sculpture, then?” 

Belle didn‘t know of the goddess sculpture‘s whereabouts. 

However, she was certain that this incident had to have something to do with Natalie. 

“It‘s Natalie!” Belle pointed at Natalie, shouting desperately, “She‘s trying to plot

against me! She‘s the one who swapped out my present!” 

She‘s already been exposed, and now she‘s still trying to drag me down with her? The corner of Natalie‘s lips curled up. “Ms. Green, do you have any evidence of that?” 

“...” Belle now tried begging Max. “Old Mr. Watsons, please check the surveillance footage...” 

Before she could finish her sentence, she realized her mistake., 

In order to frame Natalie, she had asked her subordinates to destroy the surveillance cameras. 

If the surveillance camera had failed to capture her swapping the gifts, then it naturally could not have caught Natalie doing so either. 

Natalie snickered upon seeing Belle‘s speechless reaction. 

“Ms. Green, why don‘t you finish your sentence?” 

“Natalie, are you playing a trick on me?” Belle questioned Natalie, her eyes red rimmed with tears. 

“You were the one vilifying the gift I chose and claiming that my gift is a curse.” Natalie narrowed her eyes as she continued, “But now, you‘re claiming that I‘m framing you. Are you even listening to yourself?” 

Belle had said earlier that Natalie‘s gift was a curse. 

However, the gift that Belle herself had presented turned out to be a dead cat. 

Shawn managed to guess Belle‘s intentions in an instant. 

Belle‘s pride had already been destroyed, so she didn‘t care about ruining the rest of her image or losing all her dignity. 

In that moment, all she wanted was to rip the woman in front of her to pieces. 

“Natalie, you shameless b*tch...” 

Shawn stepped in front of Natalie to shield her. His face darkened as he said in a

serious tone, “Belle, watch yourself! I didn‘t say anything earlier on because I wanted to maintain the relationship between our families. If you dare slander her again, you‘re making yourself an enemy of mine.” 

Belle really liked Shawn.
