Chapter 136

Panicked at the thoughts, Jasmine stepped forward with her clenched fists and protested, “Shane, you

can’t do this to me. Five years ago, you said you would give me everything I wanted, but now...”

The man interrupted her, leaning back against his chair. “Yes, I said that because you saved my life.

But I’ve done more than enough to repay you. Recently, everything you do crosses the limits, and I

can’t tolerate you any longer. Do you understand?”

“I...” Jasmine’s lips moved, but her voice was stuck in her throat.

Standing in front of the door, Natalie furrowed her beautiful brows in suspicion.

This isn’t the first time I hear Shane say that Jasmine saved him five years ago. What exactly

happened between them?

While she was deep in thought, Shane’s voice broke her out of her trance. “That’s enough. I hope you’ll

behave yourself from now on. You may leave.”

Jasmine’s eyes dropped, covering up all the indignation in her gaze. She then walked toward the door

reluctantly.

Walking through the door, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Natalie standing outside the office with

a faraway look. Taken aback, she yelled angrily, “What the hell are you doing here?”

Snapped out of her reverie, Natalie gave the woman a half-smile. “It’s been a while, Ms. Jasmine.”

The woman snorted scornfully. “I’ve already been fired, yet you address me this way. Are you mocking

me?”

Catherine is so useless. That dumb woman couldn’t kick Natalie out, even when she used her identity

as Shane’s Aunt.

“No, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that I’m used to calling you this way. You’re overthinking, Ms. Jasmine.”

Natalie shrugged nonchalantly.

“Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense?” Jasmine sniggered with her lips pursed. In the next second,

she narrowed her eyes at Natalie. “How long have you been standing here?”

“Oh, I’ve been here for quite a while,” she answered honestly.

A glint of nervousness flashed across Jasmine’s eyes. “Did you hear what I said to Shane just now?”

Natalie nodded with a smile. “Of course.”

The woman’s face contorted as she scrutinized Natalie balefully. Her voice was laced with threat. “Let

me warn you. Don’t you ever say a word about what you heard just now.”

I can’t afford to let anyone else know that Shane no longer protects me. Otherwise, I’ll have to face a

whole lot of trouble, and I won’t be able to take it!

“What if I don’t do as you said?” Natalie asked fearlessly, ruffling her hair.

Jasmine flashed a menacing smile. “Then I’ll ask Dad to take that damn brother of yours back!”

“Don’t you dare!” Natalie’s expression turned grim at once.

Undeniably, Jasmine had successfully threatened her.

With her arms folded, the woman warned her. “I’ll do that if you dare say a word about it. If Dad really

wants your brother back, you and your Mom won’t stand a chance against him.”

With a smirk on her face, Jasmine cast a sideways glance at Natalie. She then knocked the latter out of

the way using her shoulder as she strutted toward the elevator.

Pursing her red lips, Natalie seethed with fury and shot daggers at Jasmine’s departing back.

After a short moment, she took a deep breath to calm herself down. Patting her own cheeks, she

sorted out her emotions before knocking on the door of Shane’s office. “Mr. Shane.”

“Come in.” Shane’s impassive voice came from inside.

Pushing the door open, Natalie walked in. “Mr. Shane, how can I help you?”

“Take a seat.” Instead of answering her question, Shane tilted his chin back to point at the chair

opposite him.

Walking toward his desk, she thanked him, pulled the chair out, and sat on it.

With his fingers interlaced, the man went straight to the point. “Regarding the designs of the fall

collection we talked about during the last meeting, how is it going?”

“It’s almost done,” Natalie replied.

“Are those designs saved in the cloud storage?” he asked.

“Yes.” She nodded at him.

Turning his laptop around, Shane pushed it forward to her.

Natalie typed on the keyboard briefly. Then she handed the laptop back to him. ”Here you go, Mr.

Shane.”

The man hummed in reply. He scrolled down and went through the designs.

After staring at the screen for a few minutes, he seemed to have thought of something and asked Silas

to come in. “Bring a cup of coffee and a piece of black forest cake for Ms. Smith.”
