Chapter 269 Getting Recognized
Natalie looked over, only to notice that it was Justin.
I’ve removed the hyper-realistic mask. Don’t tell me he can still recognize me? Or perhaps he has taken me for Yara?
No matter what reason it was, it was not something Natalie would hope to happen.
“Is anything the matter?” Natalie purposely held her head low.
“I’d like a piece of strawberry cake,” Justin uttered while loosening his tie.
Hearing that, she silently heaved a sigh of relief.
“Sure, mister,” she politely replied. Of course, she could not be bothered by the strawberry cake. She continued with the act just so that she could escape from the tricky situation.
“Hurry. I’ll wait for you here.”
“Sure.”
Just as Natalie was about to leave, Justin suddenly reached out his arm and grabbed hold of her wrist.
“You—” Natalie furrowed her brows.
“Wait, no… Have I seen you before? Your voice sounds very familiar. It seems like I’ve heard your voice recently…” Justin tightened his grip on her wrist. “I’m sure I know you. It’s just that I can’t recall right now.”
Natalie felt a chill down her spine.
It had never crossed her mind that not only had Justin met Yara before, but he could even recognize her voice.
She knew that Samuel would learn about it had Justin smelled something fishy. It had always crossed her mind about coming clean with Samuel about the hyper-realistic mask, except that she had yet to find the best time to do it.
Despite the internal dilemma tearing her apart, her mind was in an unusually calm state.
I can’t just confess this way.
“Mister, could it be that you got the wrong person?” Natalie pried his fingers off her wrist.
“That’s impossible.” Justin narrowed his eyes. “I’m sure I know you. You aren’t a servant from the Leister family. I can’t recall who you are now, but I will be able to do that after a short while.”
“Y-You really made a mistake!”
Despite Natalie’s constant denial, Justin was just as eloquent. There was simply no way she could win the debate.
This isn’t going anywhere. We’ll only attract more attention with more commotion. Perhaps someone in the crowd might recognize Yara. This wouldn’t do any good for me. Oh dear, I’m done for!
Just when Natalie was in an anxious state, a woman’s voice sounded from one side.
“Justin, you’re becoming braver at flirting recently, huh?” A cool-looking lady strode toward them, with her eyes that were full of disappointment fixed on Justin. “Hah. So this is your so-called love for me?”
“I-I… Things aren’t like what you imagined it to be!”
Justin’s love for Jane was embedded deep within his bones. Seeing how she had misunderstood him as a two-timer, he was eager to explain his stand. Nevertheless, he still held onto Natalie’s hand tightly as he was afraid that the suspicious woman would run away in the process.
“My feelings for you are true and honest! It’s just that she looks like someone I know!” It seemed like Justin had become a young boy in front of Jane. “You have to believe me, Jane.”
Having heard him call the lady Jane, Natalie immediately knew she was his beloved.
She saw her only chance to get away from her current situation.
“Mister, I’ve told you many times. I really don’t know you.” Natalie blinked at him as she put on an innocent expression. “Yet, you’re still unwilling to let go of my hand and even claims that I look like your first love. My hand hurts a lot…”
“First love my foot!” Justin snapped. “Stop spouting nonsense! My first love is Jane!”
“But that’s not what you say just now…”
“What are you babbling about?”
“Why are you denying what you’ve told me earlier?”
“Listen carefully! Don’t think that I wouldn’t dare to beat a woman up!” Justin was on the verge of going berserk.
“That’s enough! Stop pretending, Justin. I don’t want to see you anymore!”
Finishing her sentence, Jane looked grimly at the two who had differing statements before turning around and walking away.
