A Cue for Love Chapter 37
Playing the Victim
Natasha scoffed like she had heard the world’s funniest joke.
“Market price? What a big mouth you have! You know how much these shoes cost, and you think you can pay me back?”
Natalie sized her up quietly.
“If you don’t want me to pay, I’ll leave.”
“Who said I don’t want you to pay? This is a limited edition pair by Ada. It’s worth three hundred thousand.” Natasha raised her chin proudly. She said sympathetically, “It isn’t a small amount. Don’t hold out if you can’t actually pay.”
Three hundred thousand for a pair of shoes?
The police disliked such economic disputes. They were at a loss for words.
“Give me your bank card.”

“Since I paid you every penny, you can take off your shoes now.”
“What do you mean?” Natasha stared at Natalie with wide eyes.
“Come now, is that really that hard to understand?” Xavian tilted his head. His eyes were dark. “Mommy already paid for the shoes. So now she’s the owner! Aren’t you embarrassed to be wearing someone else’s shoes?”
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. “How can you do this? If you take away my shoes, what am I going to wear?”
“What are you going to wear?” Natalie responded casually but coldly, “What does that matter to me?”
