Chapter 234

“Yes. I’m tired of all these.” Shane pinched the bridge of his nose.

The main reason for Shane to get engaged with Jasmine was because of that night five years ago.

Over the past five years, Jasmine benefited from him and brought many profits to the Smith family. With
that, Shane considered he had returned the favor.

Natalie’s heart ached when she listened to Shane as she found that his tone was filled with traces of
exhaustion. She thought about it for a while and said, “Mr. Shane, since you’ve decided to cancel the
engagement, I do not need to keep the truth from you anymore.”

“Hmm?” Shane raised his eyebrows.

Natalie took in a deep breath before she answered, “Do you remember the first time we had a gathering
with the critics? When I was back from the restroom, you sensed that I was being weird and asked me
what happened.”

Shane’s eyes glimmered. He lifted his chin and answered, “Yes.”

“Actually, that night I saw Jasmine with a man. They had sex with each other, and that wasn’t the first
time,” Natalie said while scrubbing her cheeks.

She finally blurted it out.

After telling Shane the secret, she felt much more relieved.



Shane fell silent for a moment on hearing that. Then, he narrowed his eyes into a slit and asked with an
icy glare on his face, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”



Natalie lowered her gaze. “I’m sorry. I was planning to give you some hints, but I didn’t find the chance
to. So…”

“Alright, I know now.” Shane closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was a thin veil of ice
over them. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now.”

With that, Shane hung up the phone. Picking up his jacket, he walked out of the office.

Right then, Silas came out from the next door. Seeing Shane, Silas stopped in his tracks and queried,
“Mr. Shane, where are you going?”

“Which ward does Jasmine live in?” Shane responded with another question and looked at Silas
expressionlessly.

Silas had been working for Shane for years. Of course, he could tell that Shane was in a bad mood, so
he promptly revealed Jasmine’s room number.

Shane murmured an affirmative reply and walked toward the elevator.

One hour later, he reached Jasmine’s ward. Just when he was about to knock on the door, the sound of
glass shattering was heard from inside.

The next instant, Susan was consoling Jasmine gently. “Jas, calm down. You’ve smashed everything in
the ward.”

“This is none of your business!” Jasmine grimaced in anger and grabbed a glass as she replied to
Susan, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be given a non-custodial sentence and left a criminal record. It’s all
because of you. Get out of here! I don’t want to see you!”

As soon as she finished her sentence, she swung the glass toward Susan.



All colors drained from Susan’s face, and she had no chance to react. Fortunately, Shane opened the
door in time. Then, with his quick reflexes, he smacked the glass and rescued Susan.

Otherwise, Susan will be disfigured now.

“Thank goodness!” Susan was horrified at what happened just now and patted her chest to ease her
mind. Then, she gazed at Shane with gratitude in her eyes and said, “Shane, thank you so much.”

Shane ignored her. He furrowed his brows and sized up the messy ward scornfully.

Jasmine noticed his expression and felt awkward, so she tried to distract him. “Shane, are you here to
visit me?” she asked.

Shane walked toward her bed and looked at her with a cold gaze. “You haven’t forgotten what I told you
last night, have you?”

Jasmine froze. The memories of what happened last night flashed through her mind. “Shane, you want
to call off the engagement?” she queried.

“Cancel the engagement? No! We can’t allow that!” Susan became anxious upon hearing that.

Shane pursed his thin lips and said, “As I said, don’t mess with Natalie and her family. Otherwise, I will
cancel the engagement, but did you take it seriously?”

“Of course, I did! I didn’t go to find Natalie today. It’s my mom who went to find Natalie. It has nothing to
do with me! Shane, you can’t put the blame on me!” Natalie pointed at Susan. Turbulent emotions
possessed her.
