CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 35

The next time we meet, I must get a sample of Mr. Shane’s hair.

Getting into his car, Shane drove off. While on the way, Silas Campbell gave him a call.

Stopping his car by the side of the road, Shane took out his cell phone. His voice, unnoticed by him, was a mix of anticipation and eagerness as he blurted out, “How’s the investigation?”

“I’ve found the information. Just as you have suspected, the one who was supposed to be in the marriage arrangement with you is none other than Ms. Natalie Smith and not Ms. Jasmine Smith. The latter is responsible for impersonating Ms. Natalie’s identity.”

“Impersonating?” Shane uttered as he frowned, “What’s the reason behind this?”

“It’s...” Silas found himself at a loss of words.

Pursing his lips impatiently, Shane commanded, “Just say it!”

“Alright!” responded Silas quickly. No longer hesitating, he poured out all the information he had found, “Seven years ago, after your marriage arrangement with Ms. Natalie had been made, she eloped with another man.”

“Eloped?” Shane could not help but gripped the phone tighter.

“Yes, Ms. Natalie used to have a lover. After she learned that her engagement had been decided without her consent, she ran away with the help of Mdm. Yulia, her mother. When her father Mr. Smith found out, he was enraged and divorced Mdm. Yulia. He married his current wife, Mdm. Susan Sullivan, who brought Ms. Jasmine back to the Smith family.”
