Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 35

The next time we meet, I must get a sample of Mr. Shane’s hair.

Getting into his car, Shane drove off. While on the way, Silas Campbell gave him a call.

Stopping his car by the side of the road, Shane took out his cell phone. His voice, unnoticed by him, was a mix of anticipation and eagerness as he blurted out, “How’s the investigation?”

“I’ve found the information. Just as you have suspected, the one who was supposed to be in the marriage arrangement with you is none other than Ms. Natalie Smith and not Ms. Jasmine Smith. The latter is responsible for impersonating Ms. Natalie’s identity.”

“Impersonating?” Shane uttered as he frowned, “What’s the reason behind this?”

“It’s…” Silas found himself at a loss of words.

Pursing his lips impatiently, Shane commanded, “Just say it!”

“Alright!” responded Silas quickly. No longer hesitating, he poured out all the information he had found, “Seven years ago, after your marriage arrangement with Ms. Natalie had been made, she eloped with another man.”

“Eloped?” Shane could not help but gripped the phone tighter.

“Yes, Ms. Natalie used to have a lover. After she learned that her engagement had been decided without her consent, she ran away with the help of Mdm. Yulia, her mother. When her father Mr. Smith found out, he was enraged and divorced Mdm. Yulia. He married his current wife, Mdm. Susan Sullivan, who brought Ms. Jasmine back to the Smith family.”

“So you’re saying that Susan is Jasmine’s biological mother?”

“Yes. Since Ms. Natalie had run away, Mr. Smith was worried that the Thompson family would hold the Smith family accountable for the slight, hence Ms. Jasmine was asked to replace Ms. Natalie. He also concocted the lie that Ms. Natalie had changed her name to Jasmine, and Ms. Jasmine had no choice but to tell the outside world that Mdm. Susan is her stepmother,” Silas narrated, full of disdain for Natalie in his heart.

This Ms. Natalie is such an ingrate, treating Mr. Shane as if he is not worthy of her. Such scandalous is she that the woman even dares to elope with another man. Doesn’t she ever think about the consequences her actions would bring to the Smith family?

Shane did not and could not speak. He was crestfallen, his eyelids drooped as his mind became a total mess. After a short while, he opened his lips and uttered only three words, “I know now.”

He was surprisingly calm.

Silas was stunned, and quickly asked, “Mr. Shane, are we going to retaliate against the Smith family?”

“Forget it,” Shane blankly replied before continuing, “Since this engagement is a mistake from the very beginning, let’s just play along as if nothing has ever happened.”

After all, Jasmine was also Harrison Smith’s daughter, and the same person who had rescued him five years ago.
