Chapter 159
Joyce sat down by the bed and changed her gangster look to a serious one. “I have figured out what
happened last night, Nat. It was all Susan. Even the purse-snatching.”
Natalie paused briefly when she heard Joyce but she continued to change her clothes. She did not
seem surprised about the news. “I know. Mr. Shane and I guessed it last night. How did you find out,
though?”
“I didn’t do it on my own. I got help from the police and Mr. Shane. They discovered that the purse-
snatcher and the thugs belonged to the same gang. The gang leader confessed that it was Susan
when Mr. Shane and his men interrogated him.”
“We owe Mr. Shane a big favor now,” stated Joyce sleepily after yawning.

had Shane not given her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
I owe that man my life!
Joyce fell into the bed. “What do we do about Susan now that we know the truth? She’s not getting
away that easily for ruining a three-million machine.”
“No sh*t. You gather the evidence while I go visit the Smith family.” Natalie threw the blanket off her and
got out of bed.
Joyce then sat upright. “It’s kind of dangerous for you to go alone, isn’t it?
“Don’t worry. I’m not stupid. It’s not like I’m going to barge in there unprepared.” Natalie smiled.
Joyce was relieved to hear that. “Good! I’ll send you the evidence later.”
Then, she also got out of bed and went to Connor to borrow his computer.
Before long, Natalie received the evidence on her phone. After taking a look, the woman’s expression
hardened.
After breakfast, Natalie left her two children with Joyce and headed off to the Smiths.
That was the second time she went back to the Smiths after being kicked out.
The first time was five years ago when her brother, Jared, had to do a heart bypass operation. She
went back to ask Harrison for money, but she was cruelly kicked out instead of getting the money.
It was raining back then, so she did not get a good look at the villa. Even when she did the second time
she went back, she saw nothing familiar to her. Everything about the villa had changed.
After letting out a sigh, Natalie swallowed her emotions and pressed the doorbell.
“Who is it?” A woman in a servant’s uniform appeared on display beside the doorbell.
“I’m Natalie, Harrison’s daughter,” answered Natalie politely.
“Mr. Smith’s daughter?” The servant was shocked and took a while to calm herself down. “Please wait
a moment. I’ll inform Mr. Smith now.”
Then, the display blacked out.
Natalie stood for a few minutes outside before the servant opened the door for her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter thanking the servant, Natalie walked straight into the villa without the servant’s help.
Harrison and Susan were having their breakfast, but Jasmine was nowhere to be seen.
When Susan saw Natalie walked in, she remarked sarcastically, “Well, it is Natalie! To what do we owe
the pleasure?”
“I’m here to speak to you, Dad.” Natalie looked to her father after glancing over Susan, but the man
ignored her as if she were not even there.
Instead of being upset, Natalie just looked down and smiled faintly.
Susan took Natalie’s smile to be a bitter one and was glad to see it. “Spill it. What do you want?”
Without saying a word, Natalie directly threw the folder in her hand in front of the woman.
Slap!
Startled, Susan jumped a little. “What the hell?”
“Open it,” instructed Natalie after giving Susan a cold look.
Reluctantly, Susan set down her fork and knife to pick up the folder and pull out its contents. After
looking at them, her face turned deathly pale, and sweat appeared on her forehead.
“What’s the matter with you?” Harrison could not help but ask when he noticed something wrong.
