“How dare she…” Harrison was staring at the live stream. He was so agitated he was becoming short of breath.
“Sir! Please calm down.” The housekeeper was very concerned. He supported Harrison, worried he would pass out from anger.
True enough, Harrison blackout in a fit of rage.
Over at Shane’s office, Silas was feeling a little sorry for Harrison. “Looks like Harrison has really infuriated Ms. Natalie and she will be spilling the beans on him.”
“He asked for it,” Shane sneered.
That sounded familiar. Those were the exact words Natalie used. Shane took whatever she said to heart. Silas was a little amused. He turned his attention back to the live stream so his mind would not wander further.
“Ms. Natalie, do you mean Ms. Jasmine Smith is an illegitimate child?” A reporter had to re-confirm the shocking news he just heard.
Natalie nodded and continued, “You heard me right. I think all of you would remember Harrison divorced his wife and married his current wife, Susan Sullivan, seven years ago. He even changed the name of his daughter to Jasmine.”
All the reporters nodded their heads. Of course, they remembered since it was big news back then. The Smiths even held a press conference for that.
“What you were not aware of is Jasmine did not change her name. Harrison made that announcement to mislead the public as he did not want you to know she is his illegitimate child. Susan is not Jasmine’s stepmother. They are blood-related mother and daughter.”
“That can’t be true!” Some were not convinced. Most of them believed Natalie.
“Why not? Although there were rumors that Jasmine and Susan were at loggerheads, Susan had always been very protective of Jasmine. She committed this latest offense because of her daughter too. They must be mother and daughter. Would anyone have gone to that extent for a stepchild who is not related by blood?”
“I definitely would not!”
