CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 171

“Do you understand now?” Shane looked at Jasmine with a condescending look.

“But I... “ Jasmine opened her mouth but was at a loss for words, so she went quietly with Silas.

As for the guilty staff member, a bodyguard brought him to the police.

Before long, Shane and Natalie were the only ones left in the lounge.

After looking at the time, Shane suggested to Natalie. “Let me send you home.”

“Okay.”

The two walked to the parking lot one after the other.

Natalie glanced at Shane several times before finally speaking up. “I’m sorry, Mr. Shane. Even though it wasn’t Jasmine, but she was right. I may have other enemies, and... “

“May it’s not your enemy,” interrupted Shane as he lowered his head.

Natalie blinked. “You mean... “

“It’s possible. The perpetrator could be gunning for me or the Thompson Group,” responded Shane with narrowed eyes.

As the person in control of the Thompson Group, it was only natural that Shane had enemies, whether in business or privately. Sean was one of them.

Maybe Sean was the perpetrator.

When he thought of that, Shane made a fist with the hand in the pocket. “I will get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation.”

“Okay.” Natalie nodded.

The two reached Natalie’s apartment an hour later.

Shane parked his car outside the building. “Get a few hours of rest, and don’t be late for tonight’s party.”

“Got it.” Natalie then waved to the man. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Shane rolled his window up and started the engine.

After watching him drive away, Natalie turned and headed into the building.

When she reached her apartment, Joyce welcomed Natalie at the door along with the two children.

“Nat, you’re back!”

“Hug me, Mommy!” The two children came running at Natalie with their arms open.

The mother then squatted down to embrace her children. “Have you been good and be nice to Aunt Joyce?”

“We sure did!” The two nodded together.

Natalie ran her fingers through their hair. “Good! Now, go play. I have things to discuss with Aunt Joyce.”

“Okay!” The two held hands and went back to their room.

Now, only Natalie and Joyce were left at the door.

After changing her shoes, Natalie went to the living room with Joyce.

She poured her a glass of water before asking excitedly, “So did Jasmine get punished?”

Natalie shook her head. “It wasn’t her.”

“What? Who is it then?” exclaimed Joyce.

“We don’t know yet. That’s why I wanted to ask you. Do you think it could be our enemies abroad?” inquired Natalie after taking a sip.

Joyce pondered for a few seconds before shooting down the idea. “I don’t think so. I haven’t heard anything about them coming here.”

“I see.” Natalie sighed and said nothing else.

She did not have a lot of enemies. Besides Jasmine and her mother, she only ever had conflicts with her classmates abroad. They hated her because they were jealous that she got picked to be their teacher’s apprentice.

If they’re not here, and it’s not Jasmine or her mother because she’s not capable of that; then it really could be Shane’s enemies. What a terrible feeling to be caught up in other people’s grievances!

Natalie rubbed her head, for she could feel a headache coming.

That evening, Natalie left her children with Joyce once again and changed into a dress before heading to the party.

It was a grand one to celebrate Project Rebirth’s success. Besides the employees of the Thompson Group, critics and models were also there.

As chief designer of Project Rebirth, Natalie got a lot of attention that evening. Many brand owners walked up to socialize with her.

In just ten minutes, she already had a stack of business cards in her hand.

“Ms. Natalie.” Silas suddenly approached her from behind.

After putting the cards away, Natalie turned to the assistant. “Mr. Campbell.”
