But he's all grown up now. He's not a kid anymore. Besides, as Mom's son, he has the right to know how she died.

Hence, Natalie stopped him from leaving and told him everything.

Taking a deep breath to compose himself, Jared wiped away his tears fiercely and asked with reddened eyes, “Are

you going to retrieve the security footage Harrison kept in the bank?”

Natalie nodded. “Yeah. If we have that, Susan will have to suffer an even worse fate.”

“I'll go with you,” Jared declared with a determined expression.

However, Natalie shook her head. “No, I'll go myself. You should go to the hospital to visit Harrison.”

“Well, all right then.” Jared always listened to what Natalie said, and that time was no exception.

After that, the sibling went their separate ways.

Natalie headed for the bank while Jared went to the hospital.

Two hours later, Natalie successfully retrieved the security footage and drove straight to Thompson Group,

intending to check whether the contents were just as what Harrison had told her.

Soon, she arrived at Thompson Group and entered the lobby. Since she had shown up without making an

appointment, she thought to call Shane and have him send someone down to get her.

To Natalie's surprise, the receptionist's eyes lit up, and she walked up to greet Natalie immediately. “Madam.”

Natalie looked around in confusion, thinking that the receptionist was talking to someone else. Seeing that she was

the only other person there, Natalie pointed to herself and asked hesitantly, “Are you talking to me?”

“Yes, of course.” The receptionist nodded as she looked straight at Natalie, her gaze exceptionally bright and

inquisitive.

So, the gorgeous lady I saw the last time is the CEO's wife!

Natalie smiled. “Why are you calling me 'madam'?”

“Well, that's because you're our CEO's wife,” the receptionist answered.

Ah, so she's not calling me “madam” because I look like a married woman, but because she knows Shane and I are

husband and wife.

As the thought crossed Natalie's mind, she asked curiously, “How did you know that I'm his wife?”

The receptionist smiled and replied, “Everyone found out after what Mr. Shane posted on his social media account.”

Realization then dawned on Natalie.

Ah, so that's it. But, when did Shane do that? Why don't I know anything about it? I'll have to go online and take a

look later.

“Are you here to see Mr. Shane?” the receptionist asked, interrupting Natalie's thoughts.

“Yes. May I go up?” Natalie asked as she pointed toward the elevator.

The receptionist nodded quickly. “Of course. You're the CEO's wife, so you can go up whenever you like. Right this

way, please.”

She led Natalie over to the elevator and even helped her press the button for the top floor.

Natalie entered the elevator after thanking the receptionist.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, the receptionist dashed back to her seat excitedly and sent a text in the

group chat to tell everyone about Natalie's arrival.

In an instant, the group chat was buzzing with messages, especially from those in the design department.

Since they used to work with Natalie in the same department, naturally, they were more excited and had plenty to

say.

But there was one person who was not the least bit excited at the news, and that was Isabelle.

While the others chattered away about how great Natalie and Shane looked together, Isabelle flung her computer

mouse aside and stormed out of the design department.

“What's up with her?” one of them asked, staring after Isabelle incredulously.

The person beside her pursed her lips disdainfully and said, “What else? She's jealous, of course. Don't forget, the

reason she's working here is only because of the CEO. Now that his wife is here, she must be green with envy.”

The first person chuckled. “That sounds about right.”

“All right, let's forget about her and get back to work.”

With that, the design department dove back into their work.

Meanwhile, Natalie had arrived in front of Shane's office. She lifted her hand and knocked on the door.

A man's clear, crisp voice called out, “Come in.”

Smiling, Natalie opened the door.

Shane was at his desk going through some documents. Hearing footsteps, he assumed one of his subordinates had

come to pass him some information. Without even looking up, he gestured at a clear space on his desk and said,

“Just leave it there.”
