Although Susan was upset that she had to bear all the blame, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself to protect this engagement.
“That’s right, Shane. It’s all my fault. I was the one who did it. It has nothing to do with Jasmine, so just blame me instead. Please give her one more chance,” pleaded Susan as she clutched her chest.
Shane scoffed coldly, “A chance? I’ve given her plenty of chances when she’s working in Thompson Group. However, she never appreciated any of them.”
Starting to panic, Jasmine suddenly burst into tears. “Shane, I’m sorry. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate the chances, but I was too afraid that Natalie will snatch you away. That’s why I kept targeting her.”
“Snatch me away?” Stretching out his arm, Shane pinched her chin and lifted her head. He asked frostily, “Who do you think I am?”
Jasmine tried her best to rebuke, “Of course, I know that you’re different from the other men. You won’t be so easily snatched away by other women. But Natalie’s different!”
“Tell me. Why is she different?” Shane flung his hand away.
As Jasmine rubbed her chin, which was hurting from his strong grip, an intense look of jealousy crept into her eyes. “Because you love her.”
When she said that, Shane’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”
I love Natalie?
How is that possible?
A look of disbelief crossed Susan’s face.
Although she knew that there was something ambiguous going on between Shane and Natalie, she did not know that he actually loved her.
Clutching the blanket tightly, Jasmine glared at Shane with bloodshot eyes. “You don’t believe it? I’m only stating the truth. As long as Natalie’s around, your eyes will be fixated on her. Although you hate being close to women, yet you always take the initiative to get closer to her—even risking your life on a few occasions. If this isn’t love, what is it?”
Although he looked expressionless, his hands, which were hidden in his pockets, clenched into fists. His emotions were in turmoil after hearing what Jasmine said.
