Chapter 595

Harrison parted his lips, wanting to say something.

However, Natalie and Jared did not give him a chance to do so, walking into the courthouse side by side.

Very soon, the court learned of their intention to end the lawsuit. Besides, Jared was the subject they
were fighting over.

Since he, the subject himself, expressed his disinclination to follow Harrison, the court could not force
him.

Finally, Natalie and Harrison concurred that when the latter reached the age of sixty, they would both
pay monthly alimony of two thousand. With that, the court approved of their request to end the lawsuit.

Even though Harrison was reluctant, he could only accept this outcome.

In the car on the way back, Jared booked his flight ticket and told Natalie that he was going back the next
day.

Natalie had already expected this, so she wasn’t surprised, merely nodding calmly in acceptance. “It’s
also better this way. If you stay, Harrison might harass you every now and then.”

“Yeah, and Maple Academy just so happens to be open for enrollment. I have to rush back to apply for
the exam,” Jared informed with a smile.

Maple Academy was a world-renowned art academy.



Art was Jared’s passion, and he had dreamed of going to Maple Academy since he was a child. Hence,
he wasn’t going to miss this opportunity.



Knowing that this was his dream, Natalie encouraged whilst turning the steering wheel, “Good luck. You
have my full support.”

“Thanks, Nat!” Jared nodded firmly with excitement gleaming in his eyes.

The next day, Natalie and Shane sent him off in the afternoon.

After that, Shane dropped Natalie off at her company.

Right after she got out of the car, he abruptly called out, “Wait.”

“What’s the matter?” Natalie bent down to peer at him through the front passenger seat window.

Shane drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and stated, “There’s something I need to tell you.”

“Go ahead.” Natalie waited for him to continue.

Shane parted his lips to say, “Jacqueline is getting discharged next week.”

Natalie’s eyes flickered and she was hit with a sense of foreboding. “And? Don’t tell me she’s going to
stay with us?”

Shane rubbed his palm against the steering wheel and finally nodded. “Yes. The Graham family went
bankrupt back then, so all of their properties have been seized and she doesn’t have a house under her
name.”

“I see.” Natalie lowered her gaze and was contemplated in silence for a few seconds before questioning,
“Must she live with us? Can’t we give her a house and hire a housekeeper for her?”

Then, she lifted her gaze to the man in the car.



He pursed his lips and answered, “I already promised her. Besides, I don’t feel good letting her live on
her own.”

“I see.” Natalie took away her hand that was on the edge of the window. “Since you’ve already promised
her, just go ahead then. The house belongs to you anyway.”

Having said that, she turned and walked away.

Shane could tell that she wasn’t happy about it. After all, Jacqueline had only recently accused her of
something she did not do.

He rolled down the driver seat window and waited for Natalie to walk around the front of the car to his
side before raising his voice. “Once Jacqueline is fully recovered, I’ll tell her to move out.”

Natalie’s footsteps faltered slightly, but she did not respond. Instead, she strode purposefully into the
building and did not once look back.

Shane’s gaze turned solemn as he looked in the direction she had left. He began to reflect on his
decision to allow Jacqueline to move into their villa, wondering if it was a mistake.

But even if it was, he had already promised her.

I only hope that Jacqueline can get along well with Natalie in the future.

If they really can’t get along, I guess I’ll have to think of a way to separate them.

With that thought in mind, Shane rolled up his window and drove off.

Natalie put down her bag as soon as she reached her office, then went to the balcony and peered down.
Upon seeing that the Bentley was no longer parked by the roadside, she pursed her red-painted lips.



What the hell is he thinking? How could he agree to let Jacqueline move into our house?

Doesn’t he know that Jacqueline and I don’t get along well? Which woman would want to live under the
same roof as their love rival?

Natalie had been quite upset with Shane during the past two days, and this wasn’t helping his case at all.
