That answer made Catherine sniff disdainfully. “I didn't expect that you would be quite so petty. Why did Shane even fall in love with you?”

“You'll have to ask Shane that yourself. That isn't the only question you'll have to ask him, though. You can try persuading him to lay off Sean. The one who's bent on getting Sean is Shane, after all, not me. I'm afraid I can't be of much use,” Natalie said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

“I'm sorry, Mrs. Thompson. I don't want to,” Natalie replied frankly.
