The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 637 Don't Even Think About Leaving

Lincoln was Shawn's boss, after all. From the start of Shawn's career, Lincoln had looked after him considerably. Otherwise, Shawn wouldn't have made it to where he was today so smoothly.

Now that Lincoln had spoken, Marcus remained silent. He just leaned back against the couch, staring straight at Shawn's face.

Not far away, Olivia and Connie watched the whole thing unfold. Both of them instinctively shrank further into the background.

They thought of calling Natalie over, but when they saw Marcus' darkened expression and his overwhelming presence, neither dared to step forward.

Before long, Mason joined them. Now that Lincoln and Marcus were furious, he didn't dare to stay so close to them.

He was genuinely afraid of the two men and their strong presence, worried he would get caught in the line of fire.

Seeing him approach, Olivia tugged at his sleeve. "Is this situation really that serious?"

Mason lowered his voice and replied, "It is. This is how we're taught in the family. Once married, no matter if you're a man or woman, you must remain faithful to your partner. If things don't work out, or if you no longer love each other, you have to separate amicably before moving on.

"Nat just got her marriage certificate with Marcus not long ago, and the wedding is just around the corner. Yet, Celeste called Shawn here, knowing he has feelings for Nat. That alone is a grave mistake. Our family doesn't tolerate such behavior."

Connie hesitated before whispering, "But if it's about outsiders, aren't Olivia and I outsiders too? Should we be worried?"

"That's different. Both of you are Nat's best friends, and neither of you has any improper intentions toward Nat or the men present. You're simply here to have fun. But Shawn isn't. That guy has a crush on Nat!"

"But how did you guys know that Shawn has a crush on Nat? Just because he wanted to sing in Nat's place earlier?" Olivia was beyond curious. "If you're wrong, wouldn't that be a false accusation?"

Mason chuckled. "Come on. With Marcus and Lincoln around, even if Nat were completely tone-deaf and needed someone to sing for her, it wouldn't be Shawn's place to step in."
