CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 108

I should have been more careful! I can’t believe she has surveillance cameras installed there! Natalie is such a cunning b****!

Susan couldn’t remain her composure anymore since her daughter would be chased out of Thompson Group soon. “Shane...”

He turned around and asked in a callous tone, “Yes, Mrs. Smith? You do realize you have no say in Thompson Group, don’t you?” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

As a result, Susan shuddered in fear and fell silent all of a sudden.

He looked at Natalie and asked in a gentle manner, “Is there anything else?”

Spinning the pen she had with her, she slammed it on the table all of a sudden. “Actually, yes! Aren’t you guys curious about Ms. Jasmine and Mrs. Smith’s relationship?”

Jasmine had a bad feeling about the things Natalie was going to bring up in front of others. The former couldn’t keep her cool anymore and yelled hysterically, “Natalie! Don’t you dare!”

Seeing this, Susan too became anxious, and she passed out as a result.

On the other hand, Shane was slightly flabbergasted by Natalie’s words. Is she going to expose Susan’s identity as Jasmine’s biological mother?

Natalie crossed her arms and asked in a sarcastic manner, “Are you trying to threaten me? Since you have the audacity to ridicule my children, allow me to return the favor! I’m sure everyone is aware that Susan over there isn’t Mr. Smith’s first spouse, right? Although Ms. Jasmine has been addressing her

as her stepmother in front of us, she seemed to have addressed her as her biological mother in the video, didn’t she?”

After Natalie brought it up, those who were present finally recalled the content of the conversation that had occurred.

One of the senior shareholders got up from his seat and queried, “Ms. Natalie, does that mean Ms. Jasmine is Harrison and Susan’s daughter? That makes her the illegitimate child of the Smith family, right?”

“Exactly! The legitimate child of the Smith family has long departed with Mr. Smith’s first wife. Ms. Jasmine is merely a replacement to the position of the Smith family’s legitimate child. Mr. Smith has lied to everyone and said her daughter changed her name to Jasmine.”

Staring at Natalie with strong murderous intent, Jasmine appeared as if she would devour the former without any hesitation. “Natalie! How dare you!”

Natalie smiled as though it wasn’t a big deal at all. “Are you trying to threaten me again?”

Natalie was aware of Jasmine’s pet peeve—her identity as an illegitimate child.

Therefore, Jasmine felt a strong urge to take Natalie out since the latter had exposed her in front of others.

The senior shareholder thought of something and looked at Shane in the eyes, asserting in a serious manner, “Shane, the one you’re supposed to marry is the legitimate child of the Smith family. Since Jasmine isn’t the one your grandfather has appointed, she’s not your fiancée!”

What?

Natalie’s jaw dropped open and stared at Shane in disbelief because she couldn’t believe this kind of marital arrangement still existed.

We are in an arranged marriage?

On the other hand, Shane didn’t expect the old man would bring up such a thing out of the blue.

He massaged his temples and was about to say something, but Jasmine got ahead of him and yelled hysterically, “Shut up, you senile old fool! What sort of nonsense are you talking about? I’m the only child of the Smith family! I’m Shane’s fiancée! Don’t you try to sow discord between us!”

The horrendous woman could no longer keep her cool. She went berserk in front of everyone because she was afraid the old man would get Shane to call off their engagement.

No! Never! I will never allow Shane to call off our engagement!

“Y-You! D-Did you just call me a senile old f—” The old man pointed at Jasmine with his trembling hand. In the end, he passed out abruptly.

Shane’s face puckered in irritation and instructed Silas to rush him to the infirmary at once. The conference was brought to an abrupt halt following that.

As everyone walked out of the conference room, they took a peek at Natalie and Jasmine. It would take them some time to process the turn of events.

They were shocked to discover Jasmine’s actual identity. They couldn’t believe she was the one who accused Natalie in an attempt to frame her.

Most importantly, their minds were blown away the moment they realized Jasmine wasn’t supposed to be Shane’s fiancée since she was the illegitimate child of the Smith family.

Inevitably, the truth that had been revealed in the conference room would soon be the gossipmongers’ favorite topics.

Eventually, Shane, Jasmine, and Natalie were the only ones left behind in the conference room. Silas had arranged for others to bring Susan away.

Shane turned around and looked at Natalie. “Actually, Mr. Blackwood was speaking the truth. We’re supposed to get married because of the deal my grandfather had with the Smith family. The deal had been struck before he passed on.”
