“Sure, I’ll see you around!”

After Mr. James departed, Natalie had no intention to stay around anymore. She was about to return to

her seat, yet her father dragged her arm with all her might and stopped her.

“Why did you expose me in front of Mr. James?”

“What’s wrong, Dad? Am I supposed to play along with you and lie to Mr. James? Do you really think

you can deceive him forever? Even if you get him to finance Smith Group, as soon as he’s aware you

have been lying to him, he’ll retract the funds without any second thought.”

Harrison’s lips twitched unwittingly because he was rendered speechless by his daughter’s words.

A few seconds later, he narrowed his eyes and sized Natalie up in an odd manner. “Speaking of which,

how are you acquainted with Mr. James?”

Natalie shrugged him off and asked, “What does it have to do with you?”

Harrison forced a gentle smile and requested, “You seem to be pretty close with Mr. James, huh? Why

don’t you persuade him...”

“Impossible!” Natalie turned him down without any hesitation before he could finish his sentence.

Harrison’s expression darkened all of a sudden. “Natalie, I’m your father! How dare you defy my

words?”

Smirking, Natalie remarked sarcastically, “I don’t consider you as my father anymore ever since you

chased Mom, Jared, and I out of the family seven years ago.”

Harrison was dumbfounded for a few seconds when he heard her words. His heart skipped a beat

because it felt as though he had lost a precious thing in his life.

He threatened her, “Fine! Since you’re not going to acknowledge me as your father, I’m not going to

force you into submission. However, I have raised you up for at least a decade! Don’t you think you

should repay me?”

Natalie didn’t expect her father to be such a shameless man. He actually resorted to such a dirty trick

to threaten her.

She took a deep breath, but before she could rebuke her father, a man’s callous voice could be heard

from behind them. “Mr. Smith, I must say I’m surprised!”

Natalie’s eyes gleamed gleefully as she could recognize the voice. “Mr. Shane.”

Shane nodded in return and approached the duo with a contemptuous smirk. “This is the first time I

have encountered a father threatening and forcing his daughter into submission.”

Embarrassed by his words, the middle-aged man rebutted, “S-Shane... I-I’m sure you must have

misheard my words... I-I’m not trying to threaten her... W-We’re in the middle of a discussion...”

“Forget about it! You don’ have to explain yourself because I’m pretty sure you know what you did! Why

don’t you get out of my sight at once?” Shane beckoned him over to the entrance of the hall.

Although Shane was his so-called son-in-law, he dared not assert dominance as his father-in-law due

to their differences.

After Harrison excused himself and fled, Shane asked Natalie, “Has he always treated you in such a

manner when you were part of the Smith family?”

“It was pretty much the same, but things were better back in the days.”

In fact, before the appearance of Susan and Jasmine, Harrison had rarely mistreat Natalie and her

brother.

Shane gave it a thought and decided to give her a heads-up. “Really? Harrison has always been a

proud man. As long as you have something to blackmail him, he’ll stay away from you for the rest of his

life.”

Natalie felt a heartwarming sensation deep down. She nodded and said, Thank you so much, Mr.

Shane. If it weren’t for you, I might have to spend some time arguing with him again.”

Shane gulped his glass of drink and asked, “It’s not a big deal. What about you? Why are you here?”

“Mr. Sean invited me to his birthday.” After Natalie explained herself, she showed Shane the invitation

card Sean had given her.

Shane’s face darkened because he finally linked everything together.

It turns out she has purchased the jewelry for Sean’s birthday!

As he thought about it and looked at Heart of Fire on her neck, he wasn’t pleased by its gorgeous look

anymore. Instead, he felt a strong urge to remove the necklace from her.

Nevertheless, he suppressed his anger and placed his glass on the tray as a waiter passed by his side.

Thereafter, he left without saying anything else because he was frustrated.

Natalie was confused because the man exuded a menacing aura as he departed. She thought he

seemed to be irritated for no apparent reason.

What’s wrong with him?
