There were many ways to repay a debt of gratitude. Marriage was definitely not the only way.
“Besides… “ Shane scrutinized Harrison judgmentally, “I have had my suspicions about this matter for quite some time. Could a narrow-minded, selfish, and cruel person like Jasmine really be my savior?”
Upon hearing this, Harrison’s eyes widened once more, and a flash of trepidation flitted across his eyes.
This brief flash of panic did not go unnoticed by Shane.
His heart sank. His hands in his trouser pockets balled up into clenched fists. “Looks like Jasmine really isn’t the person who saved me after all,” he remarked.
Harrison averted his gaze. A look of guilt was apparent in his eyes. He didn’t dare look at Shane. “O-Of course she is, how could she not be your savior? When you woke up, she was right beside you. If it was not her, then who else could it be?”
“You are still making things up until now!” Shane growled with a terrifying look. “You really think I can’t see that you’re lying?”
Harrison’s mouth gaped open like a fish out of water, and he was at a loss for words.
Shane squinted at him and demanded forcefully, “Speak! Who is the person who saved me?”
“I don’t know!” Harrison lowered his gaze in hopes of avoiding Shane’s interrogation.
“You don’t know?” Shane chuckled coldly. “Is it you don’t know or rather, you won’t say?”
“I really don’t know,” said Harrison holding on to his walking cane. “Jasmine told me back then she unintentionally entered your room. At that time, there was no one else around, so we never found out who you were with on that night.”
He could never disclose that it was Natalie. If he did that, it would only hasten their marriage. What’s more, there was also the existence of the twins.
Not letting Shane know the truth would leave him and Jasmine a chance to break them apart.
Shane realized that Harrison would not tell him the truth no matter the circumstance. “Tight-lipped, aren’t we?” He was so incensed that he smiled distortedly. “Very well, I will investigate on my own. When I find out that you have been withholding the truth from me, you and your precious Smith family will face the music. I will let all of you know the true consequence of posing as a fake savior.”
With that, Shane spoke no more to Harrison, whose face had become deathly pale. “Send someone to take him back. Keep an eye on him at all times,” Shane instructed, looking at Silas firmly.
“Yes,” Silas responded and dialed up the security department.
