"How's the investigation going?" Billy's father's face was grim, "Find it out as soon as possible and get it clear! Our family can't afford to be humiliated like this!"
"I'm working on it." Billy answered.
Natalie's hands twitched and her fork almost fell to the floor. She gritted her teeth and squeezed the fork tightly.
"Leonel said he would hold a press conference tomorrow." Billy said again.
At Billy's words, Sarah gritted her teeth, and her eyes deliberately glanced across Natalie. She snapped, "I'd like to see what he's going to say tomorrow."
Natalie tried to explain again, "Believe me. I have no idea about it. I promise we didn't do it-"
"Shut up!" Billy chided outright. He was in an extremely bad mood. His chest heaved violently with anger.
Natalie wanted to say something more, but she was choked back. She was so scared that she kept her head down the whole time. But she still gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm.
She wondered what Leonel would say at tomorrow's
press conference.
The air in the living room was dull and suffocating. Natalie couldn't stay there for one more second, so she went upstairs. Her face was covered with scratches.
How the hell was she going to live on like this?
And, would Billy find out anything about it?
