“Yes. I’m tired of all these.” Shane pinched the bridge of his nose.
The main reason for Shane to get engaged with Jasmine was because of that night five years ago.
Over the past five years, Jasmine benefited from him and brought many profits to the Smith family. With that, Shane considered he had returned the favor.
Natalie’s heart ached when she listened to Shane as she found that his tone was filled with traces of exhaustion. She thought about it for a while and said, “Mr. Shane, since you’ve decided to cancel the engagement, I do not need to keep the truth from you anymore.”
“Hmm?” Shane raised his eyebrows.
Natalie took in a deep breath before she answered, “Do you remember the first time we had a gathering with the critics? When I was back from the restroom, you sensed that I was being weird and asked me what happened.”
Shane’s eyes glimmered. He lifted his chin and answered, “Yes.”
“Actually, that night I saw Jasmine with a man. They had sex with each other, and that wasn’t the first time,” Natalie said while scrubbing her cheeks.
She finally blurted it out.
After telling Shane the secret, she felt much more relieved.
Shane fell silent for a moment on hearing that. Then, he narrowed his eyes into a slit and asked with an icy glare on his face, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Natalie lowered her gaze. “I’m sorry. I was planning to give you some hints, but I didn’t find the chance to. So…”
“Alright, I know now.” Shane closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was a thin veil of ice over them. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”
With that, Shane hung up the phone. Picking up his jacket, he walked out of the office.
Right then, Silas came out from the next door. Seeing Shane, Silas stopped in his tracks and queried, “Mr. Shane, where are you going?”
“Which ward does Jasmine live in?” Shane responded with another question and looked at Silas expressionlessly.
