Unfortunately, before Harrison could threaten Susan, she and that disgusting man of hers poisoned him. Thus, Harrison was rendered powerless.

Harrison was no match for Susan in terms of cruelty.

“I see. Well then, there's something you should know. The housekeeper didn't steal the valuable items in your study. It was Susan. Think about it. Warren's monthly salary is only a few thousand. There's no way he could afford a luxury car and an apartment, so how do you think he got them?”

With that, Natalie hung up promptly and sank into Shane's embrace, exhausted. “I miss my mom.”

Shane kissed the top of her head. “If you miss her, then go and see her tomorrow.”

“Yeah,” Natalie murmured while nodding. Then, she fell silent.

Shane did not say anything either, knowing that Natalie needed some quiet time to think and calm down. After all, what Harrison just told her must have come as a heavy blow.

Eventually, Natalie drifted off to sleep in Shane's arms with her eyes still wet with tears.

Shane lowered his head to kiss away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then laid her on the bed and tucked her in. Tiptoeing across the room, he slipped out quietly and went to the study.

When Natalie awoke the next day, Shane was already gone.

She washed up quickly and went downstairs, only to find that Shane had gone to Thompson Group. He had an important meeting and had left early that morning.
