Shane did not respond. Instead, he scrutinized Jasmine with narrowed eyes. When he noticed her fluttering eyelashes, a mocking look flashed across his eyes.
She’s pretending to be unconscious and trying to avoid the cancelling of our engagement.
Does she think that it’ll work?
“In that case, I’ll invite the reporters over after she wakes up.”
With that, Shane spun around and left without any hesitation.
“Mr. Shane!” Silas was standing outside the hospital. When he spotted Shane, he quickly waved.
Frowning, Shane walked over. “Why are you here?”
“I received an invitation.” Silas passed an invitation card to him. “The heir of the Hill family from overseas is getting married. He specially invited you to attend his wedding.”
“I’m not free. Just tell someone to send a gift over.” Although Shane took the invitation card from Silas’ hand, he did not flip it open. It was evident that he was not interesting in attending the wedding. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Silas adjusted his glasses. “But Ms. Smith and Dr. Quinn are going.”
“Hmm?” Shane, who was in the midst of getting into the car, paused mid-action. “What did you say?”
Natalie and Stanley?
Silas repeated his words.
Instantly, Shane tightened his grip on the invitation card. “How did you know?”
“I overheard Dr. Quinn when he was taking a phone call outside.”
I see!
Shane fidgeted with the invitation card and instructed, “Find out when they’re leaving.”
Looks like I need to attend it.
It’s a good opportunity for me to see if I have indeed fallen in love with Natalie, like what Jasmine said.
The next day, Natalie was woken up by Yulia.
She passed a phone to Natalie and gestured for her to look at it.
As she read the news about Jasmine’s nasty scandals, she could not help but raise her eyebrows. Then, she scrolled through the comments under those articles.
As expected, it was filled with criticisms. Some of the comments were even identical, which implied that the netizens were paid to leave those comments.
“Mom, did you pay them?” Natalie side-eyed Yulia, who scratched her nose embarrassedly.
“So, you discovered it, huh?”
“I was just guessing. I didn’t expect you really did that!” Natalie averted her gaze.
Yulia smiled. “We have to make a big deal out of it, right?”
Amused, Natalie could only shake her head silently. She left the website and clicked on the search bar.
“What are you searching for?” asked Yulia curiously when she noticed her actions.
Not concealing it from her, Natalie replied as she typed, “I’m seeing if there are news about Mr. Shane cancelling his engagement with Jasmine.”
When Yulia heard that, she immediately sat up straight. “When did he say that he’s going to cancel the engagement?”
“Yesterday.” Natalie shrugged, but a frown quickly appeared on her face.
She did not manage to find any news about it.
Looks like he hasn’t announced it yet.
“That’s great!” Yulia clapped her hands excitedly. “He should’ve cancelled it a long time ago. I really don’t want Jasmine to marry into the Thompson family.”
“She won’t.” Natalie shook her head confidently.
The moment Jasmine cheated on Shane, she should have expected that she will never be married into the Thompson family.
Furthermore, there is still Jacqueline.
Yulia narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Natalie. “Darling, how do you know that Shane’s going to cancel the engagement?”
“Um… I learned about it by coincidence.” Natalie averted her gaze guiltily.
Yulia chuckled. Although she did not believe Natalie’s words, she did not probe further. She took back the phone and started scrolling through the comments that were criticizing Jasmine.
She had to admit that the reporters were quite capable. Jasmine’s scandals were published across various websites, and she soon became notorious overnight.
Almost everyone knew that Jasmine was an immoral, petty and vicious woman.
To think that someone like her was the fiancée of Thompson Group’s CEO.
Hence, many of the netizens started to boycott Thompson Group and leave criticisms on their official website. They think that the reason for Jasmine’s arrogance was because she had her fiancé, a powerful CEO, backing her up.
