Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
Chapter 187

Jasmine pursed her lips. "Nonsense. Of course, it wasn't me. Yes, I can't wait to see you dead, but based on our stormy relationship, everyone would suspect that it was me the moment anything happened to you. I'm not so dumb as to get you killed. It's better for you to reflect and see if you have offended other people."

With that, she hung up abruptly.

Natalie flung the phone away and Yulia looked down at her. "Baby Girl, it really wasn't her?"

Natalie rubbed her temples. "I don't know. I called because I wanted to test her out. If she was the one who did it, I should be able to sense something wrong. But I could not sense anything at all." "If not her, who could it be?" Yulia smacked the sofa in frustration.

Natalie looked down silently.

Indeed, be it the culprit's words last night, or the words scribbled on the elevator shaft, it was all pointed at Jasmine. After all, she was Shane's fiancée and they had bad blood between them. Jasmine often said that Natalie wanted to snatch Shane away from her, so it would be normal for her to want her dead.

However, her conversation with Jasmine gave rise to another suspicion, which was that someone was trying to push the blame. Someone wanted her dead but yet wanted to pin the blame on Jasmine. If that was so, the actual mastermind was indeed a very evil and scheming person.

As she was thinking, Connor came out from his room. "Mommy."

Natalie put her thoughts away and mustered out a smile. "Hey, what are you doing out here? Didn't I ask you to accompany your sister in the room?"

"Sharon was too tired from crying and fell asleep." Connor climbed onto the sofa and sat down next to her.

Natalie put her arms around his shoulders. "What's up, Baby?"

"Mommy, I couldn't replace the person who tried to harm you. Jasmine is not the culprit." Connor looked down guiltily.

Natalie frowned. "Baby, didn't Mommy tell you not to interfere with adult matters? Why did you..."

"I was worried for you, Mommy!" Connor interrupted her.

Natalie opened her mouth but she suddenly could not speak.

Yulia patted Natalie's hand, "Alright Nat, the children are just worried for you, so don't think too much. Let's see what Connor has found out? Why do you say it is not Jasmine?" "Ay, alright." Natalie sighed in agreement.

With a frown, Connor's cool little face looked exactly like Shane's. "Mommy, I've just investigated Jasmine's bank accounts and all of her digital footprints. I discovered that she did not make any monetary transfers recently, and neither did she contact any outsiders. In fact, she did not even leave the vicinity of the Smith family's security cameras."

"In other words, she did not contact anyone, did not pay off anyone, or even meet anybody. Therefore, we can basically write her off." Natalie pursed her lips.

Connor nodded. "That's right."

"She is let off the hook just like that? Why isn't it her? If it were really her, we can just have her arrested!" Yulia slammed the table with regret. "No, I have to ask the police officers if they have any other clues."

She then turned to leave the house.

Natalie did not stop her. Instead, she just held onto Connor's soft little hands.

Connor pouted unhappily. "Mommy, the real mastermind has hidden herself too well. I am sorry, but I have no clues at all."

"Silly child, there is nothing to be sorry about. You have already done an amazing job." Natalie planted a kiss on his forehead.

Connor blushed.

At this moment, Natalie's cell phone rang.

Connor's face grew colder when he glanced at the screen. "Mommy, it's Mr. Shane."

Natalie was bewildered over the change of his attitude towards Shane. However, she did not think much about it as she picked up the call. "Mr. Shane."

"There have been some conclusions about last night's matter. It was not Jasmine." Shane's cool and composed voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mmhmm," Natalie responded while glancing at Connor. "I know. The mastermind is someone else."

"When did you replace out about that?" Shane was a little surprised.
