As soon as the security heard that there was a paparazzi, they immediately gave chase in the direction Natalie took off.
“Quick! Don’t let her escape! Catch her!” Warren bellowed as he ran behind the bodyguards.
Meanwhile, Natalie put on a burst of speed when she heard the stampede of footsteps behind her. However, she grew all the more anxious as she ran.
This is the television station, and I’m not familiar with the place, so I’ll be caught in the end no matter how fast I run!
Just when she was at a loss, a pair of hands abruptly shot out from one of the rooms along the corridor and grabbed her hand, yanking her into the room before closing the door.
Thinking that she’d been nabbed, Natalie’s eyes brimmed with panic. She was just about to scream when a hand clapped over her mouth.
“Quiet!” A man’s low and solemn voice sounded from behind her.
Upon hearing this exceedingly familiar voice, Natalie’s eyes went wide. All at once, she calmed down. Then, she hastily whimpered softly to signal the man to release his hold on her.
For the first time ever, the man understood and dropped his hands.
Having regained the freedom of movement, Natalie whirled around. When she saw that it was indeed Shane who had saved her, her heart that had lodged into her throat finally settled back into her chest.
As she breathed a huge sigh of relief, she poutingly shot the man a glare. “You almost gave me a heart attack, Mr. Shane! I thought I’d been caught.”
At this, Shane pursed his thin lips. “What did you do that the television station’s security was pursuing you?”
He’d just stepped out of the exclusive elevator after a meeting with the television station’s director when he saw her being chased. Thus, he found an unoccupied office and waited in there so that he could save her when she went past.
Besides, he also ordered Silas to go to the security room and erase all security footage of her.
“You mean, Susan Sullivan and Warren Litch’s?” A flash of surprise flittered across Shane’s jet-black eyes.
“Yup. Susan said it herself, so it must be true.” Natalie nodded. “I always thought that she’d only gotten together with Warren Litch in the past few years. Never had I thought that they’d been together for over twenty years now. This means that she had Harrison take the responsibility instead after she got pregnant with Jasmine.”
Speaking of that, it’s truly ironic. Hah! Harrison Smith kicked his own wife and his biological daughter out because of Susan and her daughter, then pampered another man’s daughter to the skies! I wonder if he’ll pass out from fury when he learns the truth!
At the sight of the schadenfreude gleaming in her eyes, Shane could tell Natalie’s thoughts. Unbidden, his thin lips curved upward slightly. “Are you planning to tell Harrison Smith about this?”
“Of course!” Natalie nodded. Subsequently, the expression on her face turned wintry. “But I won’t be the one telling him that. I’ll let my mother tell him personally when she comes back.”
Never would I ever forget that day seven years ago. Mom laboriously cooked a feast to celebrate her twentieth wedding anniversary with Harrison Smith, but it was precisely on that day that he brought Susan Sullivan and her daughter home, causing Mom to pass out and triggering Jared’s heart attack that he almost died!
Knowing that she wanted to let Yulia personally take her revenge on Harrison, Shane didn’t ask further, merely dipping his chin in acknowledgment.
