Chapter 52
It was unnecessary for Natalie to worry too much. Shane was a sensible and impartial employer.
“All right, stick to the decision,” he reaffirmed and left.
After a while, two security guards came to escort Ashley out.
When she passed by Natalie, she whispered, “I’m sorry.”
The latter remained calm and gave no response.
She could not simply forgive Ashley for the damage caused.
She confronted Jasmine when they were alone in the room. “It was you, wasn’t it?”
“What do you mean?” Jasmine feigned innocence.
Natalie narrowed her eyes at her and replied, “You know what I mean. You orchestrated the whole

When Shane left their department after inspection two days ago, Jasmine had coughed in her direction.
Natalie did not realize it was Jasmine’s signal for Ashley to leave and steal the drafts until she watched
the security recordings last night.
“Do you have any evidence to prove that I instigated her?” Jasmine mocked.
Natalie tucked her hair behind the ears nonchalantly. “Well, I don’t have any evidence. That’s why I
didn’t reveal you when you winked at Ashley just now.”
Jasmine did not participate in the action personally, and she concealed the truth very well.
It was impossible to prove her wrongdoing without a confession. Ashley’s refusal to be a snitch even
after her termination could only mean two things—Jasmine had threatened or bribed her.
“Since you don’t have any evidence against me, I can sue you for slander and defamation!” Jasmine
countered with a smirk.
Natalie wasn’t intimidated. “If you want to sue me, please make a police report now. Let’s fight the case
in court and get the judge to question Ashley whether you are the instigator. What do you think?”
Her encouragement stunned Jasmine.
There was a moment of awkwardness.
Natalie smiled and pretended that she did not notice Jasmine’s embarrassment. “Logically, I should
have called the police when my drafts went missing. I didn’t do so to avoid any bad impression being
made against Thompson Group. I have nothing to do with this since you made the call.”
“Get out!” Jasmine pointed at the door and roared with rage. She never expected her half-sister to
evolve into such a tough woman.

Natalie was not bothered and replied with a smile, “It seems like you will not sue me. All right, I’ll make
a move now.”
After she left the office, she stopped and took her cell phone out of her pocket to check the recording of
their conversation.
It didn’t yield any result. Nothing in their conversation could prove that Ashley was acting under
Jasmine’s instructions. The evil half-sister had been extremely cautious.
Natalie knew she had to be vigilant from now on. Jasmine would bid her time and strike again.
When that thought came to her mind, Natalie clenched her fists. However, there was nothing she could
do except sigh and return to her workplace.
After three days, Natalie presented some new sketches to Shane.
Three days later, she presented a set of new drafts to Shan who then called the top-level management
for a meeting immediately.
The majority concurred with the recommendation to appoint Natalie as the chief desi
