Natalie was crying her heart out at that moment.

When Shane saw her in that state, his heart ached for her even more as he hugged her tight in his embrace.

Listening to her sobs and interrogation, Harrison was filled with sorrow and remorse.

“I'm very sorry...”

Despite knowing that his sin was unpardonable, he could do nothing other than to apologize to her.

As expected, Natalie ignored him. Grasping the lapel of Shane's bathrobe, she could barely stop crying.

Patting her back gently with one hand, Shane took the phone with the other. “You said Susan threatened you to help

her destroy the evidence. What did she use to threaten you?”

“My past tax evasion,” Harrison replied.

Now that he had told them about the truth about Yulia's death, it was pointless to hide this from them. After all, he

had not much time left anyway.

“Tax evasion?” Shane pressed his lips into a hard line. Harrison shut his eyes. “Yes, I've done it several times, but

thanks to the flawless false accounts, I have only been caught once.”

According to the law, a first offender of tax evasion could get away as long as the person repaid it at least twofold.

However, he had evaded tax a few times. If the government found out about it, he would be imprisoned.

Not wanting to be in jail, he gave in and obeyed Susan.

As his wife, Susan, no doubt, knew his every secret.

“How shameless are you!” Natalie roared at him again.

A rueful smile appeared on Harrison's face.

Yes, she's right. I'm indeed shameless. Back then, Yulia was a credit to the development of Smith Group. In the end,

I kicked her out mercilessly. I'm nothing if not shameless. I've brought this upon myself.

“Why are you telling us the truth at such a time as this? You must have done this with a motive. Otherwise, why

didn't you tell us before?” Looking down, Shane asked coldly.

Harrison let out a self-deprecating laugh. “You got it right. I've told you these things with an agenda. My goal is

simple. I want you to take revenge on my behalf. I can't live for much longer, so I can only hope that you will help

me and make sure Susan pays for what she has done!”

“What do you think?” Shane turned to glance at the woman next to him.

Taking a deep breath, Natalie stifle the raging emotions within her and agreed, “Alright, you have my word.”

When she decided to tell Harrison about Susan's secrets, she already expected him to reveal the truth about her

mother's passing.

Sure enough, she guessed it right.

He had indeed spilled the beans.

However, the truth turned out to be so intolerable.

Shane was not surprised that she agreed to it.

Even if she disagreed, she would not let Susan off the hook.

A genuine and joyful smile broke across Harrison's face that instance. “Thank you, Nat. By the way, I have proof of

Susan pushing your mom off the stairs. It's a security footage that I've kept in a safe in the bank. The password is

my birthday. You may get it from the bank.”

“I see. You still have an ace up your sleeve,” Natalie snickered.

But the man was not provoked. “It's purely coincidental. I did not do it intentionally. At that time, I realized some

valuables in my study had gone missing and suspected that the housekeeper had stolen them, but I had no proof,

so I installed the spy cameras around the house. That's how I managed to record Susan pushing Yulia off the stairs.”

“Does that mean Susan does not know you have some dirt on her as well?” Natalie pursed her lips.

“Yes. She wasn't around when I installed the spy cameras. After I helped her destroy the evidence, I secretly

uninstalled the cameras and stored the footage in the bank's safe.”

He did this to protect himself since Susan had the proof of his tax evasion and threatened him with it. So why

shouldn't he dig up dirt on her?

If Susan ever threatened and forced him to do anything again, he could use this against her.
