Chapter 496

Chapter 496Natalie recounted when Jasmine was devastated by Shane's decision to annul their marriage, and how
she decided to jump off a building to end her life. Her mouth went dry from detailing it all.
Yulia was beyond elated to hear what Natalie had to say. “She brought it all upon herself. All those
horrible things that she had done—plagiarism and drugging others. What goes around comes back
around. How ironic!”
Natalie smiled.
Damn right it does.
Karmic retribution may be late, but it will always come. Natalie had always believed in that.
“Now that he's lost his beloved daughter, he's afraid that no one would want to care for him when he's
old and frail. So, now he's pinning his hopes on Jared, eh?” Yulia sniggered.
Natalie nodded. “That's right. Actually, he did ask me Jared's contact a while back because he's
planning to let Jared inherit the Smith Group, but now the Smith Group has already gone bankrupt,”
she snickered as she said, pleased about how things turned out for Harrison.
“Has he no shame!” Yulia was enraged. “How is that man so brazen? He wants Jared to go back and
inherit that pile of mess. Something's not quite right with his head, I reckon. He can't possibly think that
the Smiths are that great and mighty, does he? Now he has the audacity to ask Jared to care for him.
Shameless doesn't even begin to describe that man.”
When Yulia and Harrison were getting a divorce, the man despised Jared for having heart problems
and had practically renounced him.
Now that his precious daughter is gone, he's coming after Jared instead? Does he think the world
revolves around him?Natalie mumbled an affirmative response. “Yes, so I did not give him Jared's contact back then.”
“I'm so glad that you did the right thing. I will never hand Jared back to him,” Yulia snorted.
Natalie bit her lower lip and said, “But Mom, didn't you say that he was going to sue you? What if...”
“Don't worry. Just let him be. I remember vividly what he said about Jared, and I even have recordings
of him saying that. He doesn't stand a chance of winning if he decides to contend his rights in court. At
most, the court is only going to mandate Jared to pay monthly parental support to that man,” Yulia
added.
Natalie nodded her head in relief. “Alright then, I think we're looking at most of two thousand a month
for parental support according to our country's regulation.”
“That's right. As long as we pay the amount every month, nobody has the right to say a thing even if
Jared does not see the man for the rest of his life,” Yulia said as she flicked her fingers.
Natalie recalled something all of a sudden and smiled. “Mom, I'm going to let you in on a secret. I bet
you're going to be so glad to hear it.”
“What secret?” Yulia blinked her eyes curiously.
The corners of Natalie's lips curled into an enigmatic smile. “The thing is, Jasmine is not even
Harrison's biological daughter. Similar to that Donald, she's also Warren's child.”
“My goodness!” Yulia was so startled that the woman sprung up from her chair. It took her some time
before she could find her voice to speak. “Baby Girl, is that true?”
“Yes. When Jasmine was still alive, I did DNA tests for the four of them. Jasmine was not at all related
to Harrison.”Yulia broke into a cackle. “That's great! If Harrison knows that the daughter whom he's loved for over
twenty years is not even his, he's going to flip out! This is his karma! I am so happy to hear this! Tonight
calls for a celebration!”
“Don't get drunk, Mom.” Natalie smiled.

back to the country soon.”
“You're coming back?” Natalie's eyes widened as she raised an octave.
Bemused at her daughter's response, the woman narrowed her eyes. “What's the matter? Why are you
getting so worked up about me going back? Did you hide something from me?”
“Wh- what? Nothing. What's there to hide from you?” Natalie forced a smile.
I promised Mom to stay away from Shane before she went overseas.
If she comes back right now, not only will she discover that I did not take heed of her advice, but I also
moved in together with Shane. She's going to be so mad.
