“What then? What do you want to do?” Natalie looked at Jasmine.
Leaning closer to her, Jasmine lowered her voice and clenched her teeth. “I want you to leave both Thompson Group and Shane. You will only cause him trouble if you stay!”
“What if I say no?” Crossing her arms together, Natalie said with a half-smile.
I will leave, of course, but not now.
Besides, I also don’t want to promise Jasmine so easily.
Jasmine smiled wryly upon hearing Natalie’s words. “No? If I reveal the truth about how Shane got hurt, do you think that the Thompsons and those in the company who support him will let you off the hook?”
I finally have the chance to chase Natalie away without using any means—I’d better seize this opportunity!
Nevertheless, Natalie was utterly unruffled. She calmly stroked her smooth and wavy hair. “Tell them, then. We’ll see if the Thompsons and the elders in the company will deal with me before Mr. Shane deals with you!”
“You…” Jasmine was so enraged that she choked on her words.
Natalie pulled a chair and sat down. “Ms. Jasmine, do you have anything else to say? If not, please leave. I need to work now!”
Without even glancing at Jasmine, Natalie turned on her laptop.
Jasmine looked sullenly at Natalie’s back and left with a snort.
Shaking her head sarcastically, Natalie clicked on the official website of the Golden Feather Awards to check on the competition’s status.
When she saw that Jasmine emerged from the top 16 elimination round in first place, her eyes grew dimmer and a smirk formed on her face.
Right after that, she minimized the window and logged onto a private social media network. She uploaded a few designs from her files, erased her browsing history, and logged out of the website before resuming her work.
In the afternoon, Natalie got off work and went to a supermarket near the office to buy various types of mushrooms. She then took a cab to Joyce’s place to pick up the children.
Her children were overjoyed to see their mother and rushed to cuddle with her. After a while, the three of them said goodbye to Joyce and returned to the apartment.
