Chapter 456

As soon as the security heard that there was a paparazzi, they immediately gave chase in the direction
Natalie took off.

“Quick! Don’t let her escape! Catch her!” Warren bellowed as he ran behind the bodyguards.

Meanwhile, Natalie put on a burst of speed when she heard the stampede of footsteps behind her.
However, she grew all the more anxious as she ran.

This is the television station, and I’m not familiar with the place, so I’ll be caught in the end no matter how
fast I run!

Just when she was at a loss, a pair of hands abruptly shot out from one of the rooms along the corridor
and grabbed her hand, yanking her into the room before closing the door.

Thinking that she’d been nabbed, Natalie’s eyes brimmed with panic. She was just about to scream
when a hand clapped over her mouth.

“Quiet!” A man’s low and solemn voice sounded from behind her.

Upon hearing this exceedingly familiar voice, Natalie’s eyes went wide. All at once, she calmed down.
Then, she hastily whimpered softly to signal the man to release his hold on her.

For the first time ever, the man understood and dropped his hands.

Having regained the freedom of movement, Natalie whirled around. When she saw that it was indeed
Shane who had saved her, her heart that had lodged into her throat finally settled back into her chest.



As she breathed a huge sigh of relief, she poutingly shot the man a glare. “You almost gave me a heart
attack, Mr. Shane! I thought I’d been caught.”



At this, Shane pursed his thin lips. “What did you do that the television station’s security was pursuing
you?”

He’d just stepped out of the exclusive elevator after a meeting with the television station’s director when
he saw her being chased. Thus, he found an unoccupied office and waited in there so that he could save
her when she went past.

Besides, he also ordered Silas to go to the security room and erase all security footage of her.

“Don’t remind me of that. I was framed,” Natalie panted, her face flushed from exertion.

“Framed?” Shane’s gaze darkened, and his expression turned grave. “Who did that?”

“Warren Litch.” Natalie then darted her eyes around. When she caught sight of the water dispenser at the
corner of the office, she ambled over and got herself a cup of water with a disposable cup.

After guzzling it down, she calmed her breathing before explaining, “He’s Susan Sullivan’s lover. I saw
them meeting each other just now, and they made me. And that’s the reason for the scene you
witnessed earlier.”

“Just because you saw them meeting each other?” Shane narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing
that the matter was so simple.

At this, the corner of Natalie’s mouth twitched. “Sure enough, nothing gets past you, Mr. Shane. Well, I
also overheard their conversation.”

“What did they say?”

After flattening the disposable cup, Natalie flung it into the trash can. “Their conversation is really
enlightening. It turns out that Jasmine isn’t Harrison’s daughter, but theirs.”



“You mean, Susan Sullivan and Warren Litch’s?” A flash of surprise flittered across Shane’s jet-black
eyes.

“Yup. Susan said it herself, so it must be true.” Natalie nodded. “I always thought that she’d only gotten
together with Warren Litch in the past few years. Never had I thought that they’d been together for over
twenty years now. This means that she had Harrison take the responsibility instead after she got
pregnant with Jasmine.”

Speaking of that, it’s truly ironic. Hah! Harrison Smith kicked his own wife and his biological daughter out
because of Susan and her daughter, then pampered another man’s daughter to the skies! I wonder if
he’ll pass out from fury when he learns the truth!

At the sight of the schadenfreude gleaming in her eyes, Shane could tell Natalie’s thoughts. Unbidden,
his thin lips curved upward slightly. “Are you planning to tell Harrison Smith about this?”

“Of course!” Natalie nodded. Subsequently, the expression on her face turned wintry. “But I won’t be the
one telling him that. I’ll let my mother tell him personally when she comes back.”

Never would I ever forget that day seven years ago. Mom laboriously cooked a feast to celebrate her
twentieth wedding anniversary with Harrison Smith, but it was precisely on that day that he brought
Susan Sullivan and her daughter home, causing Mom to pass out and triggering Jared’s heart attack that
he almost died!

Knowing that she wanted to let Yulia personally take her revenge on Harrison, Shane didn’t ask further,
merely dipping his chin in acknowledgment.
