“I'm sorry. I didn't expect her to be like that as well,” Shane replied. Needless to say, he also understood the
consequence if Sharon did not fall on the carpet. That was why he wanted to send Jacqueline away earlier than
intended.
Furthermore, he regretted letting her stay with his family.
Natalie closed her eyes in exasperation and willed herself to calm down. “Shane, it's not that I want to force you to
do so, but my children and I can't stay in the same house with Jacqueline. If you don't send her away by then, it
would be the three of us who leave the house.”
In other words, only either Jacqueline or my kids and I will stay. I can't imagine what that wicked woman would do if
she stays longer with us.
Natalie's words brought a frown onto Shane's face. He replied, “You're the owner of the villa. There's no reason for
you and the kids to go.”

Seeing her tearing up, Shane felt even more guilty and pulled her into his arms. “Of course. If not, I wouldn't have
told Jacqueline that just now.”
As soon as he said that, Natalie's face lit up with joy. She rubbed her nose and nodded in satisfaction. “That's more
like it.”
“Okay, since Sharon's fine, let's go downstairs and have our meal.” He let go of her.
Then, Natalie and Shane grabbed hold of a child respectively, and left the room to head downstairs.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline was sitting on the couch with her head lowered.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs behind her, she quickly rose to her feet, turned around, and
looked up with her reddened eyes.
As soon as she saw them, she picked up the teddy bear beside her and walked around the sofa to approach them.
By the time she reached there, they happened to reach the landing of the stairs as well.
When Sharon saw her, she immediately hid behind Natalie, and Shane stepped forward to stand in between
Jacqueline and his family.
“Yes?” he asked in a cold voice.
Jacqueline panicked. This is the first time he acts so distant with me.
She hurriedly lifted up the plush toy in her hands and looked toward Natalie. “Ms. Smith, I'm here to apologize to
Sharon, and this is for her.”
Natalie took a glance at the teddy bear. It was brown, about half a meter tall, and looked cute. It was exactly the
kind of plush toy a child would like.
Even if Sharon likes the teddy bear, I won't let her take it either.
Determined, Natalie retracted her gaze and declined coldly, “No, thanks. Ms. Graham can keep the toy to yourself.”
“No, Ms. Smith. You have to accept this. I know it's my fault. I shouldn't treat Sharon like that, so...”
“Ms. Graham!” Natalie cut her off sternly, getting impatient with her. “I said no. You can't use a mere toy to make

With that, Natalie took her kids and walked past Jacqueline, leaving Shane and her behind.
With crocodile tears in her eyes, she put down the teddy bear on the ground and lowered her gaze, acting
aggrieved. “Shane, I've learned my lesson. I was impulsive and didn't think too much about her safety. Are you guys
really not going to forgive me?”
Natalie is too petty. Her daughter is clearly unharmed. Yet, she doesn't want to accept my apology. This woman is
so full of drama.
Needless to say, he did not know her black-hearted thought as he pursed his lips and looked at her patiently.
“Sharon was just a kid.”
“I know, but I lost it when I saw her touching the piano. You know I really love piano, so I can't let anyone else
simply touch it without my permission. That was why I was so reckless...”
“Did you know your action could hurt someone else?” Shane questioned grimly.
Jacqueline shook her head. “I didn't think much before I acted. I'm sorry, Shane. I promise I'll change. Please don't
be angry at me.”
