As soon as the security heard that there was a paparazzi, they immediately gave chase in the direction Natalie took
off.
“Quick! Don't let her escape! Catch her!” Warren bellowed as he ran behind the bodyguards.
Meanwhile, Natalie put on a burst of speed when she heard the stampede of footsteps behind her. However, she
grew all the more anxious as she ran.
This is the television station, and I'm not familiar with the place, so I'll be caught in the end no matter how fast I
run!
Just when she was at a loss, a pair of hands abruptly shot out from one of the rooms along the corridor and
grabbed her hand, yanking her into the room before closing the door.
Thinking that she'd been nabbed, Natalie's eyes brimmed with panic. She was just about to scream when a hand
clapped over her mouth.
“Quiet!” A man's low and solemn voice sounded from behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this exceedingly familiar voice, Natalie's eyes went wide. All at once, she calmed down. Then, she
hastily whimpered softly to signal the man to release his hold on her.
For the first time ever, the man understood and dropped his hands.
Having regained the freedom of movement, Natalie whirled around. When she saw that it was indeed Shane who
had saved her, her heart that had lodged into her throat finally settled back into her chest.
As she breathed a huge sigh of relief, she poutingly shot the man a glare. “You almost gave me a heart attack, Mr.
Shane! I thought I'd been caught.”
At this, Shane pursed his thin lips. “What did you do that the television station's security was pursuing you?”
He'd just stepped out of the exclusive elevator after a meeting with the television station's director when he saw
her being chased. Thus, he found an unoccupied office and waited in there so that he could save her when she
went past.
Besides, he also ordered Silas to go to the security room and erase all security footage of her.
“Don't remind me of that. I was framed,” Natalie panted, her face flushed from exertion.
“Framed?” Shane's gaze darkened, and his expression turned grave. “Who did that?”
“Warren Litch.” Natalie then darted her eyes around. When she caught sight of the water dispenser at the corner of
the office, she ambled over and got herself a cup of water with a disposable cup.
After guzzling it down, she calmed her breathing before explaining, “He's Susan Sullivan's lover. I saw them meeting
each other just now, and they made me. And that's the reason for the scene you witnessed earlier.”
“Just because you saw them meeting each other?” Shane narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing that the
matter was so simple.
At this, the corner of Natalie's mouth twitched. “Sure enough, nothing gets past you, Mr. Shane. Well, I also
overheard their conversation.”
“What did they say?”
After flattening the disposable cup, Natalie flung it into the trash can. “Their conversation is really enlightening. It
turns out that Jasmine isn't Harrison's daughter, but theirs.”
“You mean, Susan Sullivan and Warren Litch's?” A flash of surprise flittered across Shane's jet-black eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yup. Susan said it herself, so it must be true.” Natalie nodded. “I always thought that she'd only gotten together
with Warren Litch in the past few years. Never had I thought that they'd been together for over twenty years now.
This means that she had Harrison take the responsibility instead after she got pregnant with Jasmine.”
Speaking of that, it's truly ironic. Hah! Harrison Smith kicked his own wife and his biological daughter out because of
Susan and her daughter, then pampered another man's daughter to the skies! I wonder if he'll pass out from fury
when he learns the truth!
At the sight of the schadenfreude gleaming in her eyes, Shane could tell Natalie's thoughts. Unbidden, his thin lips
curved upward slightly. “Are you planning to tell Harrison Smith about this?”
“Of course!” Natalie nodded. Subsequently, the expression on her face turned wintry. “But I won't be the one telling
him that. I'll let my mother tell him personally when she comes back.”
Never would I ever forget that day seven years ago. Mom laboriously cooked a feast to celebrate her twentieth
wedding anniversary with Harrison Smith, but it was precisely on that day that he brought Susan Sullivan and her
daughter home, causing Mom to pass out and triggering Jared's heart attack that he almost died!
Knowing that she wanted to let Yulia personally take her revenge on Harrison, Shane didn't ask further, merely
dipping his chin in acknowledgment.
