Alice's forehead creased at Natalie's question. “I don't know what you're talking about. I have only hired someone to kill you. I'm not involved with the arson of your warehouse or the car accident with your child.”

“What?” A look of disbelief crossed Natalie's face.

Shane's expression turned somber.

Natalie's face paled. She gripped Alice's shoulder and asked with a shaky voice, “You said you weren't behind these two incidents?”

“Yes.” Alice nodded.

Natalie looked into her eyes and saw that she wasn't lying. The former felt chills ran down her spine.

If it wasn't Alice nor Jasmine, then who else could it be?

It seemed like there were still enemies hiding in the shadows.

Natalie closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, trying to remember who else she met after she returned.

Her head started to ache, but she couldn't think of anyone suspicious.

Shane worriedly embraced Natalie and patted her back softly when he saw that she was in pain. “That's enough. Take a break if you can't remember.”

Natalie gripped the collar of his suit and buried her head in his chest. She caught a faint refreshing minty smell that helped her calm down. Once she was feeling better, she released her grip and pulled away from his embrace.

“Thank you, Mr. Shane. I'm feeling much better now. I will catch the culprit behind the kidnapping of my child and the arson attack on my warehouse. As for Ms. Brown...”

Natalie clenched her fists and fixed her gaze on Alice. “Ms. Brown, good luck in prison. I hope you will change for the better.”
