Chapter 185
Screech!
Shane stepped on the brakes violently and stopped the car.
All of them fell forward uncontrollably and were only restrained by their seatbelts.
The two children were awakened by this.
“Mommy, what’s going on?” Sharon rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily.
Connor sat up and looked from left to right. “Did something happen?”
“Nothing, just go back to sleep.” Natalie stroked their heads and brought them back to her lap as she
continued to pat their backs.
Sharon was not quite awake, to begin with, and fell back asleep very quickly.
However, Connor’s eyes remained big and bright. He was still on Natalie’s lap but he just refused to go
back to sleep.
Natalie let him be.

reeling from the shock.
“Sorry.” Shane pursed his thin lips and turned to look at Natalie. “Why did you think it was Jasmine?”
“Because the culprit whispered to me that I snatched someone else’s man. Since I returned to the
country, you are the one that I’ve seen the most due to work. Jasmine has said on multiple occasions
that I am trying to take her place as your fiancée.” Natalie looked him straight in the eye and replied.
Yulia turned around and smacked Natalie. “What? The culprit said that to you? Why didn’t you say that
at the police station just now?”
Natalie did not reply and continued staring at Shane.
Connor also narrowed his eyes at Shane. Suddenly his admiration for Shane reduced dramatically.
So Mommy nearly died because of Mr. Shane?
Shane caught the change in Connor’s eyes and he felt that he had been slapped, almost as if he had
lost something very important to him. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, “I know what to
do. I’ll get it investigated thoroughly!”
“It’s not enough to just investigate!” Yulia’s face was grim. “Shane, if Jasmine is really the one behind
this, I hope that you will cancel your wedding plans and send her to jail immediately.”
“I will.” Shane looked down to cover the storm that was brewing in his eyes.
He would do so even without her reminder.
The Thompson Group did not need a murderer as the CEO’s wife.
Yulia was finally satisfied and relaxed a little when she saw that Shane was not just paying lip service
to her. “That’s good to know. Continue driving, Shane.”
Shane responded and glanced at Natalie before restarting the car.
At the apartment complex, Shane left after dropping them off at the entrance.
Connor led the now-awake Sharon and sped back into their room.
Yulia brought out a tray of washed fruit from the kitchen. “Baby Girl, do resign from Shane’s company
soon.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNatalie was just ironing Stanley’s jacket when she heard that. She stopped and asked, “Why?”
“Why? You nearly scared me to death with everything that had happened tonight. More danger could
be coming your way, considering how close you are to Shane.”
Her mother’s concern warmed her heart and her face grew gentler. “I know. Don’t worry, I’ll hand in my
resignation in a few days.”
She was only supposed to just work for a month at Thompson Group anyway.
Now that Project Rebirth had ended, it was about time for her to leave.
Suppressing her hesitation, Natalie put her iron aside and said, “Alright Mom, I’m going to grab a
shower.”
“Go ahead. Have an earlier night after that.” Yulia nodded.
“Yes, I will.” Natalie then brought her pajamas to the bathroom.
That night, Natalie could not sleep well at all. The moment she closed her eyes, all she saw was the
scene where she nearly suffocated to death. The next morning, two huge dark circles hung below her
eyes, giving Yulia a scare.
“What happened, Baby Girl?” Yulia touched her face tenderly.
Natalie shook her head. “I’m fine, Mom. We are out of food. I’ll go out and grab some breakfast for us.”
