Natalie worried that, in a fit of anger, Shane would kill Sam.

Of course, Sam would have had it coming, but Natalie didn't want Shane to commit a crime because he would be

imprisoned as well.

That was why it would not be worth it to seek vengeance like that. She wished that Shane would remain calm and

locate David's will. If the will contained evidence of what happened all those years ago, then they could send Sam

right to jail. Plus, Shane could always bribe the inmates in the jail to make Sam's life a living hell if he thinks that jail

time is not sufficient to punish Sam for his crimes.

Truth was, she was okay with anything as long as Shane wouldn't sacrifice himself in the process.

Shane saw the worry in Natalie's eyes and knew what she was thinking. He calmed down and promised, “Don't

worry. I have you and the kids to think about, so I won't do anything stupid.”

A vengeance that costs one's life is not vengeance at all. It's just being stupid.

True vengeance is making your enemy pay for their crimes and still have the freedom to enjoy the sight of your

enemy's suffering.

Those thoughts were the reason why Shane wouldn't kill Sam. Still, Shane wanted to go through the motion of

crushing Sam's life while seeking vengeance.

“I'm glad to hear that,” said Natalie, who sighed a small breath of relief after hearing what he said.

Shane hesitated for a few seconds, but he eventually garnered enough courage to step up and pull her into his

arms.

At first, he thought that she would push him away like she did in the past few days.

But he was wrong. Although she didn't hug him back, she didn't push him away either, and that was good enough

for him.

Shane buried his head in Natalie's neck and took a few deep breaths before he let her go. “I have to go back to the

office now. I'll be back later tonight.”

Natalie acted like she didn't hear that last sentence and waved at him. “Go ahead. I won't walk you out.”

Shane chuckled before turning around and left.

That night, Sam's online attack on Shane got dismissed easily.

The news Shane retaliated against Sam with, on the other hand, overwhelmed Sam immediately.

Drugging one's own nephew was something that anyone would truly despise.

Hence, the netizens changed their stance and went to reprimand Sam instead. They no longer regarded Shane as a

heartless monster or leave any rude comments.

That was understandable. Sam was the one who threw the first punch, after all, so Shane was simply returning the

favor. The true heartless monster was Sam all along.

Shane smiled smugly when he saw the horrible comments online. His lips curled into a cruel grin before he had

Silas take a few men over to the Thompson residence. There, Silas and the others read the worst comments aloud

in front of Sam.

Sam got so infuriated that he fainted and had to be sent to the hospital.

The news of Sam getting a stroke was shared across the internet on the following day.

Natalie grinned and shook her head after reading the articles. She dissed, “Serves him right!”

“Sally is here to see you, Nat,” reported Joyce, who opened the door to Natalie's office just as the latter put her cell

phone away.

Natalie grinned and replied, “Got it. Please lead her in.”

Joyce murmured a reply before waving at someone behind her.

Sally popped her head in and greeted, “Hey, Nat! I knew it. You were the one who called me.”

“Really?” blurted Natalie as she stood up and circled around her desk to go to Sally.

Sally took her sunglasses off and replied, “Mr. Campbell called me yesterday and asked me to model for madam. I

am the model who is about to sign a contract with Thompson Group, and Mr. Campbell's boss is Mr. Shane. Both of

our bosses are the same, so naturally, the 'madam' he was referring to had to be you.”

Natalie grinned and nodded, “Yes, I called you over. Come take a seat.”

Natalie gestured for Sally to sit before turning to Joyce and requesting, “Please serve our guest some drinks. Plain

water will do. She's a model and can't have anything else.”

Sally protested in annoyance, “Oh, c'mon, Nat! Why are you copying my manager's style? That idiot won't let me

drink anything else, either.”

“We're being responsible and helping you maintain your figure,” refuted Natalie with a smile.

Sally harrumphed and stopped talking.

Still, she couldn't stay annoyed for long. She was excited when she said, “You are so awesome, Nat. I can't believe

you're participating in such a grand competition. I heard that it is one of the most prestigious design competitions in

the world, and many models dreamed of walking down that runway. Ah! I can't believe it. I actually get to do that!”
