A Cue for Love (Natalie and Samuel)

Chapter 1173 Mind Went Blank

Even though Helma was indeed guilty as charged, the fact that Heidi exposed her right in her face still caused her expression to turn ugly. “Heidi, what are you trying to achieve here?” she demanded.

“What do you mean?” Heidi put her hand over her swollen cheek as she grinned. “Helma, I only have a simple favor to ask. I want you to squash the scandal for me.”

She was perfectly aware that her reputation was ruined after those photos were leaked to the public. Without someone else’s help, she would never be able to turn things around.

Instead of begging others to help her resolve the crisis, it would be better to seek the aid of her half-sister. Helma immediately understood the implication of Heidi’s words. “Are you threatening me?”

“Helma, I’m your younger sister.” Heidi shrugged as she stared at Helma unblinkingly. “Since we’re siblings, it’s only natural for you to help me out. I’m sure I don’t have to threaten you to do that. Likewise, it’s only natural for me to protect your secrets. You’ve never threatened me before, yet I kept my mouth shut without you asking me. It’s time for you to reciprocate the gesture.”

Her swollen cheek did nothing to hide the malicious glint in her eyes. “What will you do if I refuse to help you?” Helma asked.

“Then, I will divulge the facts that I know.” Heidi raised her brows smugly. In a composed manner, she added, “Maybe Samuel will let me off the hook once I show him the bad things you did.”
