Chapter 235
Although Susan was upset that she had to bear all the blame, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself to protect this engagement.
“That’s right, Shane. It’s all my fault. I was the one who did it. It has nothing to do with Jasmine, so just blame me instead. Please give her one more chance,” pleaded Susan as she clutched her chest.
Shane scoffed coldly, “A chance? I’ve given her plenty of chances when she’s working in Thompson Group. However, she never appreciated any of them.”
Starting to panic, Jasmine suddenly burst into tears. “Shane, I’m sorry. It’s not that I didn’t appreciate the chances, but I was too afraid that Natalie will snatch you away. That’s why I kept targeting her.”
“Snatch me away?” Stretching out his arm, Shane pinched her chin and lifted her head. He asked frostily, “Who do you think I am?”
Jasmine tried her best to rebuke, “Of course, I know that you’re different from the other men. You won’t be so easily snatched away by other women. But Natalie’s different!”
“Tell me. Why is she different?” Shane flung his hand away.
As Jasmine rubbed her chin, which was hurting from his strong grip, an intense look of jealousy crept into her eyes. “Because you love her.”
When she said that, Shane’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”
I love Natalie?
How is that possible?
A look of disbelief crossed Susan’s face.
Although she knew that there was something ambiguous going on between Shane and Natalie, she did not know that he actually loved her.
Clutching the blanket tightly, Jasmine glared at Shane with bloodshot eyes. “You don’t believe it? I’m only stating the truth. As long as Natalie’s around, your eyes will be fixated on her. Although you hate being close to women, yet you always take the initiative to get closer to her—even risking your life on a few occasions. If this isn’t love, what is it?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Although he looked expressionless, his hands, which were hidden in his pockets, clenched into fists. His emotions were in turmoil after hearing what Jasmine said.
He admitted that he paid a lot of attention to Natalie, and that he did not detest interacting with her.
In fact, he had been wondering why he kept saving her and why his emotions were so affected by her every action.
Is it because of love?
Shane’s silence seemed to be an implicit acknowledgement of his feelings for Natalie. Upon noticing that, Jasmine’s face twisted in envy. “You’re my fiancé, but you fell in love with another woman. How can I possibly spare Natalie?”
Shane cast his gaze downward, concealing the emotions in his eyes. “Even if you’re right, I’m the one who committed a mistake. I fell in love with her, which has nothing to do with her. Why didn’t you target me instead?”
“You didn’t do anything wrong. Natalie is the one who seduced you.” Jasmine shook her head vigorously, insisting that it was all Natalie’s fault.
Shane gazed at her. “You are unreasonable. Let me tell you this, regardless of whose fault it is, it’s never an excuse for you to harm others. My patience for you has already run out. I’ll invite the reporters over later and announce that our engagement is over.”
When Jasmine heard that, she quickly tried to sit up, ignoring her leg which was still in a plaster cast. “No! I will never cancel the engagement. Not even if I die!”
He wants to cancel the engagement and be together with Natalie.
I will never allow that!
“You think that you can change my decision?” A mocking smirk played on Shane’s lips.
Jasmine knew that he was being serious this time. In her haste, her eyes rolled over and she suddenly fainted.
When Susan saw that, she wailed miserably. “Jasmine!”
Then, she dashed over to the hospital bed and wanted to summon the doctor over.
However, she soon felt someone pulling her. Lowering her head, she noticed Jasmine grabbing the corner of her shirt. She understood everything instantly. Wiping her tears, she spun around and said to Shane, “Shane, Jasmine has already fainted. Let’s talk about cancelling the engagement later, okay?”
