Chapter 272 Crossing His Bottom Line
Smack! Phoebe was left shocked by the hard slap on her cheek.
Even though Phoebe’s status was nowhere comparable to that of Susan in the Leister family, Winnie and
George still adored her a lot since she had good manners, excellent results, and to top it all off, she had
outstandingly good looks. No one could believe that this usually obedient lady would do something so
outrageous. Needless to say, George and Winnie were the most affected and furious.
“Phoebe, do you know how shameless you are? Do you still want to get married?”
“What exactly do you want?”
Phoebe broke into an uncontrollable sob.

I certainly saw Natalie lying unconscious on the couch. This man was supposed to be sleeping with that
wretch. Why did it become me instead?
Since everything had happened so abruptly, Phoebe could not wrap her head around the situation. She
knew there was no way she could convince the others with an explanation that even she could not
believe.
Now, there’s only one person who can help me. Only Susan knows the truth to this entire matter.
“Susan… Susan…” Phoebe’s eyes were red and swollen as she choked on her words. “You know the
truth to this whole incident… Only you can help me now. Please explain it to Dad, Mom, and Grandpa!”
At the mention of her name, Susan was instantly seized by shock and panic. Even the fingers she
clenched tightly in her palms have turned white. No way! It shouldn’t have turned out this way! Natalie
should be the one who’s sleeping with this lecherous man! She should’ve been the target of all these
criticisms! Despite her young age, Susan was very manipulative. She knew she could never admit
everything had stemmed from her cunning plan against Natalie. And that naturally meant that there was
nothing she could do to salvage Pheobe’s plight. Since things have come this way, Phoebe can only
blame herself for not being meticulous enough and thus causing such a mess. With her mind made up,
Susan knitted her brows and muttered, “Phoebe, I don’t know what you’re saying. How else can | defend
you when you’ve done such a disgraceful act?” Phoebe could not believe that the person, whom she
placed utmost trust in, did not speak up for her and even called her disgraceful. After all, she would not
be in such a predicament if Susan had not asked her to help set a trap for Natalie. “Susan, we’re cousins
after all. How can you do this to me?”
George and Winnie knew their daughter had high standards. There was no way she would look for such
an ugly-looking man even if she had wanted a one-night stand. As such, their gazes instinctively landed
on Susan after hearing Phoebe’s interrogation. “Susan, do you know something?” Winnie swallowed her
pride and earnestly asked since the matter was concerning her daughter’s reputation. As Susan was
targeted and dragged into the mess, discussions exploded among the crowd. Winnie’s sudden question

left Susan so shocked that her face went as white as sheet, while she quickly shifted her gaze to avoid
any eye contact with anyone. It was as though she was caught red-handed in a crime. “I have no idea
what you’re saying. Why would I have anything to do with what Phoebe wants to do?” Wyatt and
Joycelyn too were overwhelmed with fury and immediately voiced out their opinions to support their
daughter. “Phoebe only has herself to blame for doing such a thing. It’s none of Susan’s business! Don’t
you dare throw false accusations at us!”
Phoebe’s eyes were full of resentment as she pinned her eyes on Susan. She treats me so nicely when
she wants to plot against Natalie, yet now she’s pushing me to one side and acting innocent? Fine. If that
is so, then there’s nothing for me to hold back anymore. Choking on her tears, Phoebe retorted, “It’s
Susan. She wants me to frame Ms. Natalie. That’s why she instructed me to drug her and find a man to
sleep with her. She’s doing all of that to make Mr. Bowers hate Ms. Natalie so that she will get his
attention!” As soon as her words fell, the crowd was in exasperation of how wicked Susan was. “Susan is
still so young, yet she’s so vicious. Whoever marries her in the future will surely suffer her wrath!” “Oh
gosh, Roping Phoebe in to execute her evil plan and kicking her one side now that things have gone
wrong? What a young lady with an evil heart!” “That’s way too vicious. The Leisters would’ve ruined that
lady’s life if this had happened to that lady instead of Phoebe.” Samuel’s handsome face turned dark and
grim at this point. His eyes were full of rage and hostility. Sure enough, he felt reassured that Natalie was
smart enough and did not fall for these kinds of lowly tricks. That said, he could not sit still after learning
about how Susan and Phoebe had plotted such an evil scheme against Natalie.
