This was the first time anyone had bowed to her so respectfully. Instantly, she froze. She quickly waved her hand
and said, “N-No problem. I just did what anyone would have done.”
“No matter what, you have saved my wife and child. I will remember your kindness. If you ever run into any
problems, feel free to contact my assistant. I will try my best to help you.” As he spoke, Shane handed Silas' name
card over.
Sometimes he did not feel like giving out his personal name card when he was doing business. In situations like that,
he would give out Silas'.
Hence, he always carried Silas' name cards with him.
Tina accepted it. Seeing the name “Thompson Group” written on it, she had a huge realization. She now knew who
he was. She never expected that one of the participants was the wife of the owner of Thompson Group.
“Hey, aren't you going to apologize to Nat?” Suddenly, Lina's voice rang out. Her tone was tinted with rage.
Natalie and Shane looked over to the right. Lina was staring at a male designer.
Natalie's eyes darkened. “Darling, he was the one who stretched out his leg earlier and made me trip.”
She was not trying to be petty. This was just the truth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing that, Shane finally understood why Natalie would trip out of the blue.
Although it was possible that she was just clumsy, it was unlikely. Her shoes were specially made to be anti-slip.
There was no way she would trip on flat ground. It made sense that someone else had caused the incident.
“Why did you try to hurt my wife?” Shane stepped forward and stood in front of the male designer.
In comparison, Shane was actually shorter and skinnier than the designer.
However, his aura was much more overpowering.
The kind of temperament Shane had was not something that regular people could ever have.
Although the male designer was taller than Shane by half a head, he still appeared much smaller in the eyes of the
crowd.
“I-I didn't do it on purpose,” the man mumbled.
Behind Natalie, disdain flashed through Tina's eyes for a brief moment. Because it was so fleeting, no one noticed
it.
“What do you mean by that? The walkway is so narrow. Two people can barely make it through at the same time.
Nat was walking in front of you. There's no way you didn't see her. If you saw her, why didn't you retract your leg?
Why did you stretch it out? It's so obvious that you did it on purpose,” Lina scolded loudly.
The male designer shook his head hurriedly. “N-No. I swear it was an accident. I was caught up in my own thoughts
with my head lowered. I didn't notice anyone come my way at all. Please believe me, Natalie.”
He looked ot Notolie pleodingly.
Notolie pursed her lips ond did not onswer. She seemed to be mulling something over.
Suddenly, Shone osked, “Are there security comeros here?”
“Yes.” Tino nodded. “However, the ongles don't copture the wolkwoy. There's no woy to prove if he hod extended
his foot out on purpose.”
“Well, thot's unhelpful.” Lino furrowed her brows.
The mon lowered his heod. He smiled but only for o brief second before returning to his regulor expression.
“Whot ore you oll up to?” Just then, o group of people come in from outside.
It wos the orgonizer ond severol of the renowned judges.
Notolie looked down ot her wotch. Then, she looked ot Shone ond soid, “Dorling, the competition is obout to stort.
Why don't you bring the children bock to the lounge for now? We'll continue this conversotion onother time.”
Shone hummed in ogreement. He shot the mole designer o worning look ond left with the two children.
Notolie looked ot Lino. “We'd better get into position.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yeoh.” Lino nodded ond glored ot the mon. “Don't think this is over. If we find out you did this on purpose, your
coreer will be over. Hmph!”
He looked at Natalie pleadingly.
Natalie pursed her lips and did not answer. She seemed to be mulling something over.
Suddenly, Shane asked, “Are there security cameras here?”
“Yes.” Tina nodded. “However, the angles don't capture the walkway. There's no way to prove if he had extended
his foot out on purpose.”
“Well, that's unhelpful.” Lina furrowed her brows.
The man lowered his head. He smiled but only for a brief second before returning to his regular expression.
“What are you all up to?” Just then, a group of people came in from outside.
It was the organizer and several of the renowned judges.
Natalie looked down at her watch. Then, she looked at Shane and said, “Darling, the competition is about to start.
Why don't you bring the children back to the lounge for now? We'll continue this conversation another time.”
Shane hummed in agreement. He shot the male designer a warning look and left with the two children.
Natalie looked at Lina. “We'd better get into position.”
“Yeah.” Lina nodded and glared at the man. “Don't think this is over. If we find out you did this on purpose, your
career will be over. Hmph!”
