Right at this moment, a colleague suddenly exclaimed, “Holy crap! Our CEO actually has illegitimate children outside!”
“Huh, what? Illegitimate children? Where?”
All of a sudden, the entire main office descended into chaos, as everyone rushed to the colleague who was the source of the breaking news. Natalie was the only one who sat there motionlessly, too stunned to join in the excitement.
Shane has children born out of wedlock?
How can it be!
Even though she did not know him very well, her intuition told her that he was not that kind of irresponsible person. It must be the work of some social media accounts deliberately spreading sensational rumors and click-baits for the sake of popularity.
Natalie shook her head and laughed as she zeroed in on that thought.
Although she was not interested in gossips about Shane, her ears picked up her colleagues’ excited chatters, and several words caught her attention.
Two illegitimate children and a woman being carried in his arms. Got into a car…
For some reason, these phrases sounded really familiar.
“Don’t tell me…” Natalie’s expression changed like the weather. Quickly, she minimized the current page on her screen, clicked into her browser, and searched for news about Shane’s illegitimate children.
Her search immediately turned up a lot of matches.
Randomly clicking one of the top search results, she entered the site, only to be greeted by a familiar yet blurry photo.
Seeing herself in the photo, Natalie reflexively threw away the mouse in her hand and covered her face.
Sure enough, someone captured the moment when Shane was carrying her into the car!
Even though the faces of the people in the photos were censored and others could not recognize her, she was sure that Jasmine would definitely be able to identify her in the photos.
Since Shane was Jasmine’s fiancé, the latter would certainly not let this slide!
Natalie dreaded the outcomes of this matter.
While she was still caught up in her thoughts, Jasmine’s voice rang out from the door of the main office. “What are you all babbling about?”
“Ms. Jasmine, come and take a look! Our CEO actually has illegitimate children outside,” a male colleague blathered and immediately waved at Jasmine.
The moment she heard the phrase “illegitimate children”, Jasmine’s heart nearly jumped out. She retorted, “What nonsense are you clamoring about? Since when Shane has children born out of wedlock?”
“I’m not the one with the nonsense. It’s all over the news. See for yourself!” The poor guy felt wronged and thus responded.
