CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 106

His pupil constricted while his face darkened upon hearing that. “What? Are you serious?”

Natalie replied in a serious manner, “Do I look like I’m kidding? As a mother, I will not tolerate my children to go through such humiliation. Therefore, I will defend the truth until death. Even if my action would get me fired, I still want Jasmine to face justice.”

All of a sudden, rage pulsed through Shane’s veins. It was not because of Natalie’s words, but rather, Jasmine’s nasty tricks towards two innocent children to achieve her goal.

I must have been lenient towards her over the years, huh? That must be the reason she has the audacity to challenge my limits. I believe it’s time to teach her a lesson and let her know her place.

Once he made up his mind, Shane got up from the couch and assured Natalie, “Alright. I’ll deal with the necessary arrangement and allow you to prove yourself innocent tomorrow.”

The confused woman blinked and asked, “Does that mean you’re not going to stop me, Mr. Shane?”

“Mmm...”

Her eyes brimmed with tears as she expressed her gratitude. “T-Thanks...”

He moved his lips as though he was about to say something, but he received a call out of the blue. He picked it up and heard Silas’ voice. “Mr. Shane, Susan has regained consciousness. One of our men heard the conversation she had with Ms. Jasmine. Ms. Jasmine apologized for the things she had done and told her to insist Ms. Smith was the culprit. In other words, Ms. Jasmine was the one who pushed Susan.”

Shane instructed, “Alright. I want you to inform every one of the conference that will be held tomorrow.”

Silas took note of his instructions and hung up the call.

Meanwhile, Shane set his phone aside and told Natalie, “I’ll give you the chance to prove your innocence during the conference tomorrow.”

She nodded in a serious manner and said, “Thanks.”

Since it was getting late, Natalie showed Shane the way out as he was about to leave.

In the meantime, Connor, who had been eavesdropping on the adults’ conversation, moved away from the door and instructed his sister in a serious tone, “Sharon, I need you to keep an eye on Mommy. You’re not allowed to let her in without my permission.”

His sister asked with a confused look, “What are you trying to do?”

He clenched his fists and explained himself, “I’ll teach our so-called grandfather as well as the woman who has bullied Mommy a lesson!”

When he returned to his room earlier, he ran a check on Harrison’s information. It turned out that the latter was their grandfather—the man who had shown up at the kindergarten.

Judging by the dispassionate look he had when he showed up in front of them, Connor was certain their so-called grandfather didn’t appreciate their presence. Since he had resorted to violence against their mother, Connor was determined to avenge her.

After he came up with the perfect plan, he was ready to execute it as he ran his fingers across the keyboard.

Ten minutes later, he looked at the submission confirmation and grinned viciously.

I can’t wait to see their response! I’m pretty sure they’re going to have the best time of their life!

Suddenly, Natalie knocked on the door. “Connor, Sharon, come out and have some fruits.”

“Coming!” Connor switched off his computer and returned to his usual innocent self as he made his way out of their room with his sister.

As Natalie made her way into Thompson Group the next day, she paid no heed to the odd looks her colleagues had on their faces.

She headed to the conference room with a USB drive and encountered Jasmine the moment she reached the conference room.

Natalie smirked and reached out to her proactively. “Ms. Jasmine!”

Jasmine brought herself to a halt and turned around. She was utterly dumbfounded the moment she saw Natalie. “What are you doing here when you’re supposed to be in the police station?” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Although the police officers didn’t have enough evidence to charge her, she shouldn’t have been released since she was the main suspect of the incident. Usually, she would be imprisoned for at least twenty-four hours.

All of a sudden, Jasmine had a bad feeling about it because it felt as though things were spinning out of her control.

Grinning, Natalie explained, “Oh! Mr. Shane was the one who bailed me out!”

“What?” Jasmine’s voice was an octave higher than her usual tone.

Shane was the one who bailed her out? Since when did he drop by the police station? Why did he bail her out without my consent? Why didn’t he mention anything about it in front of me?

He has been defending her and insisted on having her as the chief designer of Project Rebirth during the conference that was held yesterday! Does he really have a thing for her?

Jasmine could barely suppress her jealousy when she thought of the things Shane had done for Natalie’s sake.

On the other hand, Natalie was delighted because Jasmine’s emotions were written all over her face. “Ms. Jasmine, I believe it’s about time. Shall we go in? After all, there’s a great show we can’t afford to miss.”
