CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“It's true, Nat. Your mom came to see me yesterday to talk about Jared. We got into an argument, and then your mom stormed away. She was walking too fast. That's why she slipped. I called for an ambulance the moment I found out your mom had fallen down, but I never expected...”

Harrison's voice trailed off, and he lowered his head, as though overwrought with grief.

Natalie's entire body was trembling. “Enough with your phony attitude. My mom doesn't need any of that! You're beneath her!”

“Nat...”

“Just stop,” Natalie cut him off. Taking a deep breath, she blinked back her tears before continuing, “Since both of you refuse to tell the truth, fine. I'll get to the bottom of it myself. If I find out the two of you have something to do with my mom's death, I'll make sure you rot in prison for the rest of your lives!”

Having said that, she pierced Susan and Harrison with one last icy glare before walking out of the room because she knew that getting the truth out of them was impossible.

Natalie shook her head. “They're staying tight-lipped. I couldn't get anything out of them.”

Shane stared at the door to the interrogation room and replied solemnly, “I'm not surprised. If they're really the culprits, it's completely normal that they're refusing to cooperate to escape legal consequences.”
