At Joyce's solemn speech, Natalie thought that it was much more likely than that wild conspiracy of Jasmine

returning from the dead. “If that's the case, then I'll gladly accept her challenge. Please write back to her to say

that I look forward to her being a competitor.”

Since she had already thrown down the gauntlet, wouldn't it make me a coward if I didn't pick it up?

Joyce approved of Natalie's plan of accepting Tiffanie's challenge. She nodded enthusiastically. “Don't worry, I'll

write back to her at once.”

Joyce began typing with great haste.

“I'm going back into my office.” Natalie was not interested in the contents of the response sent on her behalf. She

patted Joyce on the shoulder and turned toward her office.

Before long, a week had gone by.

The police still had not managed to apprehend the mysterious woman. They concluded the investigation

halfheartedly and spoke no more of it. They couldn't be devoting all of their resources into that case, after all.

The private detective engaged by Joyce had not much luck, either. The woman seemed to have completely

vanished off the surface of the earth.

It was with heavy reluctance that Natalie and Joyce accepted the verdict of the police station.

However, their week had not been all downhill. The embezzlement by the warehouseman and the team leader had

been recovered. Thankfully, they were arrested before they could spend any of it.

Natalie picked the twins up from kindergarten one school day. At the villa gates, she caught sight of Shane helping

Jacqueline out of the villa.

Natalie pursed her lips at the sight. Her hands that wrapped around her children's tightened unconsciously.

Before Natalie had gotten off work, she had gotten a call from Shane who told her that he had something to attend

to and wouldn't be able to pick the children up.

It turned out that this was what he had to take care of. Jacqueline.

Connor sensed Natalie's foul mood. “Mommy, are you alright?” He asked with a tug on her hand.

She made an attempt to suppress her bitterness and displeasure as she smiled at the children. “I'm fine.”

“I don't believe you,” Sharon piped up. “I think you aren't happy after seeing Daddy holding Ms. Graham's hand.”

Natalie's mouth hung open but was at a loss of what to say.

Her emotions were so transparent that even Sharon was able to deduce them.

“Don't worry, Mommy. I will help you.” Sharon turned to where Shane and Jacqueline were and called out. “Daddy,

we are home!”

Shane was focused on helping Jacqueline that he did not immediately see Natalie and the children at the gate. At

the sound of Sharon's voice, he looked up in their direction.

Since they had already been seen, Natalie could not do anything else but to walk over with the children.

As she got closer, she noticed that something felt wrong. Jacqueline's eyes glimmered dully and appeared

unfocused.

Wait a minute. Is she...?

At the realization of that possibility, Natalie waved a hand in front of Jacqueline's face.

Jacqueline did not react at all. Instead, she tugged on Shane's arm. “Shane, are Ms. Smith and the children home

already?”

Shane grunted in response.

“Where are they?” Jacqueline persisted.

Shane shot a glance at Natalie.

Natalie swallowed in an attempt to suppress the shock she felt. “We are standing in front of you, Ms. Graham. What

happened to your eyes?”

Jacqueline smiled good-naturedly. “I seem to have lost my sense of sight.”

“You're blind?” Natalie exclaimed.

Though she had deduced the fact, it still came as a nasty surprise to hear it spoken out loud.

“Jacqueline has been experiencing deterioration in her eyesight recently,” Shane explained. “I had received a call

from her an hour ago telling me that she cannot see at all, and asked if I would take her to the hospital.”

So this was what happened.

Natalie nodded as comprehension dawned on her. The negative feelings she had had toward Jacqueline dissipated

and made way for pity.

Natalie did not like seeing them standing so close together, but no matter what, Jacqueline was a victim of her

circumstances and was in need of help. It was ridiculous for Natalie to even be jealous of that.

“In that case, have a safe trip to the hospital,” Natalie said as she pulled the children out of Shane and Jacqueline's

path.

Shane grunted. “Have dinner without me tonight. If I get back too late, tuck yourselves in.”
