Jasmine pursed her lips. “Nonsense. Of course, it wasn’t me. Yes, I can’t wait to see you dead, but based on our stormy relationship, everyone would suspect that it was me the moment anything happened to you. I’m not so dumb as to get you killed. It’s better for you to reflect and see if you have offended other people.”
With that, she hung up abruptly.
Natalie flung the phone away and Yulia looked down at her. “Baby Girl, it really wasn’t her?”
Natalie rubbed her temples. “I don’t know. I called because I wanted to test her out. If she was the one who did it, I should be able to sense something wrong. But I could not sense anything at all.”
“If not her, who could it be?” Yulia smacked the sofa in frustration.
Natalie looked down silently.
Indeed, be it the culprit’s words last night, or the words scribbled on the elevator shaft, it was all pointed at Jasmine. After all, she was Shane’s fiancée and they had bad blood between them. Jasmine often said that Natalie wanted to snatch Shane away from her, so it would be normal for her to want her dead.
However, her conversation with Jasmine gave rise to another suspicion, which was that someone was trying to push the blame. Someone wanted her dead but yet wanted to pin the blame on Jasmine. If that was so, the actual mastermind was indeed a very evil and scheming person.
As she was thinking, Connor came out from his room. “Mommy.”
Natalie put her thoughts away and mustered out a smile. “Hey, what are you doing out here? Didn’t I ask you to accompany your sister in the room?”
“Sharon was too tired from crying and fell asleep.” Connor climbed onto the sofa and sat down next to her.
Natalie put her arms around his shoulders. “What’s up, Baby?”
“Mommy, I couldn’t find the person who tried to harm you. Jasmine is not the culprit.” Connor looked down guiltily.
Natalie frowned. “Baby, didn’t Mommy tell you not to interfere with adult matters? Why did you…”
“I was worried for you, Mommy!” Connor interrupted her.
Natalie opened her mouth but she suddenly could not speak.
