Chapter 76

A couple?

Shane pursed his thin lips tightly. That particular phrase sounded extremely harsh in his ears.

Despite Natalie’s rising anger, she steadied herself and rushed to explain, “Ms. Jasmine, you’re

mistaken. I am not familiar at all with Mr. Sean!”

As she spoke, she did not know what came over her, but she snuck a peek at Shane, somehow not

wanting him to misconstrue whatever was going on between Sean and herself.

However, Shane’s face had gone cold and void of expressions. She could not tell whether he truly

believed in Jasmine’s lie or not. For a moment, she felt a hint of disappointment.

“Nat, I know you’re still mad at me.” Sean’s eyes suddenly dimmed, a wry smile hanging on his face.

This got Natalie stunned and confused. “What are you talking about? Mad about what?”

“I left you without a word back then. I’ve abandoned you, so...”

“Enough!” Shane bolted upright from where he was seated at the head of the table, his eyes brimming

with anger.

Back then... So, Sean was the one who had eloped with Natalie back then. No wonder Connor

resembles me so much. That’s because I’m Sean’s cousin. Of course, his son would look similar to me.

“Shane, what’s the matter with you?” Jasmine asked, concerned while pretending not to know why he

was overreacting.

Shane ignored her as his sharp, icy glare swept across Natalie and Sean. Void of emotion, he

proclaimed, “This is the Thompson Group. Not a public platform for you to flirt around!”

He’s definitely got the wrong idea!

Natalie bit her lower lip. “Mr. Shane, I’m not...”

“You’re right. Nat and I should take it outside.” Not waiting for Natalie to finish her sentence, Sean

dragged her towards the door.

“What are you doing? Let me go!” Natalie shouted unwillingly as she attempted to free herself.

But Sean’s grip on her wrist was so tight, so she could not shake it off.

And so, she was taken out of the conference room just like that.

Shane gazed gloomily at the direction they had set off to, sending death chills from his aura into the air.

Jasmine stood beside him, “Shane, there seems to be some misunderstanding between Sean and Ms.

Natalie.”

Shane said nothing. He lowered his eyes and left the meeting room. As soon as he did, he caught sight

of Sean and Natalie entering the elevator.

In the elevator.

Sean finally released Natalie.

Natalie rubbed her sore wrist, all the while glowering at him. “Mr. Sean, why did you say those things in

the conference room? They could lead to so many misunderstandings! We only just met yesterday, so

why did you keep saying ‘back then’? What’s your angle?”

“Don’t you get it? I like you,” Sean replied, pushing up the gold-rimmed spectacles on the bridge of his

nose.

Natalie scoffed, “Like me? Do you think I’ll believe something that ridiculous?”

Sean shrugged. “I know you won’t, but I stand by what I said. I fell in love with you at first sight. I

brought up the past because I wanted them to think we go way back. That way, no other men would

come near you.”

Natalie’s face instantly darkened. “Mr. Sean, you should be ashamed of yourself!”

What he did was shameless and crazy. I do not want to be associated with the likes of him!

Natalie took a deep breath as she strained to suppress the fury within her. Then, she stretched her

hand out, ready to press the buttons in the elevator.

But Sean shifted sideways and inserted himself between her and the buttons. “Alright, I’ll admit that I’m

in the wrong here. So, how about I treat you to dinner as an apology?”

“Don’t bother!” Natalie rejected him coldly.

However, Sean acted as though he did not hear it. When the elevator reached B1, he once again

dragged her straight to his car and forcibly pushed her into it.

Having no choice in the matter, Natalie followed him to a restaurant, where they had a hasty meal.

Sean suddenly received a call after lunch and left the place sulking.

Natalie took a taxi back to the Thompson Group. However, as soon as she stepped into the company

building, she was greeted with nasty remarks.

“That’s her! She’s the one previously involved in a scandal with Mr. Shane, and now
