Chapter 1086

The host looked at Julian, whose face had turned utterly pale. “Mr. Shane, so was she the one who did
it?”

“That’s right. Even though the office had no surveillance camera, there was one in the corridor. I saw
from the footage that she brought in two buckets of the same color that were filled with ice water. I’ve
found the two buckets, and her fingerprints are on them,” Shane uttered coldly.

The security footage and the fingerprints alone were enough to convict Julian.

The color drained from Julian’s face as she sat desperately on the floor. She wanted to defend herself,
but words failed her, as she was never good at speaking.

Especially when she noticed all eyes were on her, she felt even more nervous and humiliated.

“Mr. Shane, I got it. I’ll handle her properly, and I won’t disappoint you.” The host cast an indifferent look
at Julian.

Shane nodded slightly. “Okay. I’ll leave her to you.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Shane.” The host pushed his glasses up slightly.

Shane cast a glare at all the designers and raised his voice the next moment. “So all of you saw what
happened to Julian. Let this be a warning to everyone. Don’t do such a thing just because of your
greed. It is not worth risking your career and your country’s reputation for this.”

He paused momentarily before continuing, “I hope you keep my words in mind. If I find out someone
who uses this against my wife or any other designers to win, I’ll ban them!”

Upon saying that, he deliberately cast a glare at Jayson.



Jayson lowered his head, not daring to utter a word. He knew the warning was directed especially for
him.

Shane turned to the host and ordered, “Take her away!”

The host nodded and escorted Julian out.

Julian could not think of an explanation to defend herself, so she remained silent all the while.

With that, she had no choice but to comply with the punishment.

After the fuss, all the other designers became extraordinarily silent.

Some of them who had bad intentions in mind gave up on their thoughts.

Meanwhile, the rest of them let out a sigh of relief, as they did not have to look over their shoulders for
those who harbored ill intentions.

Shane’s words had given them a sense of security.

“Nat, your man is so cool!” Lina praised while she grabbed Natalie’s arm.

Natalie responded with a smile, “Yes, he is.”

She recalled the time when she had just gotten back from overseas and Jasmine had accused her of
stealing Isabelle’s necklace. Even though Shane was not close with her at that time, he had stood up
for her.

How could anyone not get attracted to a kind and just man like him?

“Okay. You guys may leave now.” Shane waved toward the guards at the door, signaling them to make
way.



But no one at the scene dared to leave before Shane.

Natalie sensed the awkward atmosphere and smiled faintly. She grabbed Shane’s hand and said,
“Shane, let’s get out of here first.”

Shane held her hand gently. “Let’s go.”

Upon saying that, they walked toward the door while Lina followed them.

It was only after the three of them left that the other designers felt relieved and began to leave.

In the car, Natalie cast a glance at the man beside her. “I didn’t expect you would come here
personally.”

“My wife was getting bullied. Of course, I would have to show myself,” Shane said while caressing
Natalie’s belly gently.

With that, Natalie felt a warmth in her heart. “Darling, you’re so good to me.”

“Do you only notice that now?” Shane cocked a brow and teased her.

Natalie leaned her head against his chest. “No, I’ve known it all along. You’re the best husband in this
world.”
