Chapter 317 A Familiar Face
Chris's eyes went wide at Natalie's words, staring at her in disbelief.
“You... how could you...”
Natalie shot him a sharp look.
Chris instantly understood and clamped his mouth shut.

Of course. Natalie was far too clever not to have seen through Juliana’s little stunt. But if she had noticed and
was still speaking this way, then she must be setting something up.
Chris felt he had guessed her intentions.
He quickly stepped forward, helped Juliana up, and said with a cheerful smile, “Juliana, sorry about just now. |
thought you were trying to hurt Natalie, so | acted rashly. Don’t take it to heart-I apologize.”
Chris could bend and stretch as the moment demanded, and his grin looked perfectly sincere.
Ruby was left puzzled.
She had seen the whole scene with her own eyes. At first, her daughter had clearly been furious, yet now her
attitude had shifted so suddenly. Why?
She thought hard about what had just happened, but held her tongue.
Waylon cast Natalie a thoughtful glance but also stayed quiet.
Juliana was still sore from Chris's kick, cursing him in her mind. But then he lifted her up with a smile and
apologized so sincerely that all her rage got stuck in her throat. She nearly choked on it, unable to vent a bit of

She forced a strained smile. “It’s nothing. It’s my fault. I'm getting old, clumsy on my feet, and nearly dragged
Natalie down with me. That was wrong of me.”
Her eyes filled with tears again as she spoke.
Natalie couldn't help but admire Juliana’s acting.

Tears on command-no warmup, no buildup. They just flowed.
Still, she didn’t overplay her own part. Her tone remained calm as she said, “Juliana, you've

probably been working too hard lately. You should rest. You've been by my mother’s side for years-whether or
not people call it credit, it's effort. No one dares say you're too old to be of use. And even if one day you really
can’t go on, I'm sure the Stone family won't turn their back on you.”
“That's right,” Waylon added at once. “We've already taken care of Juliana’s retirement insurance and critical
illness coverage. Her pay has always been much higher than the market rate for a housekeeper. It's only what
she deserves for staying with your mother all these years.”
He didn’t know what his daughter was planning, but her sudden change in stance was obvious. He decided to
play along.
Ruby still didn’t quite understand, but with both her husband and daughter speaking this way, she knew what
she had to do.
“Exactly, Juliana. You must just be overtired. Go get srest. Just be more careful from now
on.”
Juliana looked at Ruby. Seeing no trace of anger left in her eyes, only the swarmth as before, she felt a wave
of relief.
Natalie was Ruby’s long-lost daughter. Of course her return meant Ruby would value her above all else. Juliana
had been foolish to compare herself.
From now on, she would have to be more cautious.
At least Ruby still treated her as before.
After weighing things in her mind, Juliana finally nodded. “Madam, you're right. | am tired. Ms. Natalie, please
don’t hold it against me. | promise it won't happen again.”
“Go and rest,” Natalie replied with a nod.
Juliana put the groceries in the kitchen, then retreated to her room.
Natalie didn’t rush to explain herself to Waylon and Ruby. But then Chris suddenly smacked the back of his head,
looking as if he'd just had an epiphany.
“I remember now!”
“What do you remember?”
His abrupt exclamation left Natalie startled, and even Waylon and Ruby froze.
“What's the matter with you? Don’t go scaring Natalie,” Waylon said irritably.

Natalie, on the other hand, felt a flicker of suspicion at his words.
“Don’t tellyou think she looks like Juliana.”
As soon as Natalie said it, Chris lit up and nodded vigorously.
“Ms. Natalie noticed it too? Look at Juliana’s eyes and nose. Doesn't she look a lot like Anna?”
