Chapter 106
“Mr. Shane was the one who picked us up!” Sharon pointed in the direction of the man who was behind
them.
The moment Natalie raised her head, she spotted Shane.
He had his eyes glued to her swollen cheek. His expression darkened because it was evident that she
had been slapped in the face by someone. “Have you been slapped?”
As soon as Connor heard their conversation, he rushed over and perused Natalie’s face. As soon as
he detected the slap mark on her face, the little boy asked coldly, emanating a presence of an
intimidating adult, “Mommy, who did this!”
Eventually, Sharon broke down into tears when she noticed her mother had been slapped in the face.
Natalie held her beloved children in her arms and answered their queries, “My father.”
Pursing his lips, Shane probed further, “Did Harrison drop by?”
She nodded in return.
“Harrison...” Meanwhile, Connor muttered the name of his grandfather over and over again.

The determined look he had indicated he was up to something in his mind, yet the adults weren’t aware
of the change in his expression.
Shane asked once more, “Why did he come here?”
Natalie brought herself up and replied, “Why else would he drop by? He wants me to apologize to
Jasmine and Susan.”
“Have you given in to his request?”
“Nope. Why would I apologize for the things I have never done?”
Connor cast a confused gaze at her mother and asked, “Mommy, why does he want you to apologize?”
His mother tapped on his head and instructed, “Hey, you’re not supposed to poke your nose into adult’s
business! I want you to bring your sister back to the room and keep an eye on her.”
Although Connor was frustrated because he didn’t get the answer to his query, he brought his sister
back to their room as instructed.
Meanwhile, Natalie bowed and expressed her gratitude. “Mr. Shane, thank you for bringing them home
on my behalf.”
He took a good look at her and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
“Mmm... Although I’m still feeling lightheaded every now and then, but my fever has subdued.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“Mr. Shane, since you’re here, why don’t you come in and have a seat?”
Shane hesitated for a moment before bringing himself into Natalie’s place.
She proceeded to serve him a glass of water and said, “Mr. Shane, actually, I have been keeping this to
myself, but Jasmine was the one who pushed Susan.”
“W-What?” Shane shuddered, causing the glass of water he had in his hand to vibrate unwittingly.
She looked at him in the eyes and repeated herself, “Jasmine was the one who pushed Susan. Susan
attempted to assault me after I provoked her with my words. Coincidentally, Jasmine showed up out of
nowhere and wanted to help her mother, but I managed to evade their assaults. As a result, she
pushed Susan accidentally. In the end, she tried to accuse me when she was the one at fault.”
Narrowing his eyes in return, Shane queried in a serious manner, “Do you have any evidence to back
your words?”
“Of course! I couldn’t believe no one was aware of the existence of the surveillance cameras that had
been installed. Ever since Ashley got her hands on my drafts, I had been on my guards against
everyone from the design department. Therefore, once I received the fabrics for Project Rebirth, I
requested those from the security department to install a few surveillance cameras.”
Shane finally linked the missing pieces of the puzzles together and figured out the reason she didn’t
seem to be anxious right after she regained consciousness.

It turned out she had something hidden up her sleeves to prove herself innocent all along.
He put the glass of water aside and asked, “What are you going to do? Are you going to publish the
security recordings?”
“That’s my initial plan, but since Jasmine is your fiancée, I’m afraid you will be adversely impacted by
the recordings as well if I proceed to publish it. Therefore, I think it’s necessary to tell you the plan I
have in mind in advance. Are you going to stop me, Mr. Shane?”
Natalie had her eyes glued to him. Unable to decide on his next best course of action, he frowned and
remained silent.
Frankly, he should get in Natalie’s way and stop her. Casting his reputation aside, it was the impact on
the company’s image that concerned him.
However, Shane wasn’t in any position to stop her since she had been wrongly accused when she was
the real victim. It was natural for her to seek vengeance after the misfortunes she had gone through.
Seeing as Shane couldn’t make up his mind, Natalie lowered her gaze to conceal the disappointment in
her eyes as she said, “Mr. Shane, I believe you’re not aware of the incident that Sharon and Connor
have gone through, right? Previously, Jasmine instigated the kid’s classmates to mock Connor and
Sharon for being illegitimate children.”
