After saying her piece, Yulia supported Natalie. "Nat, let's go."

Natalie nodded in response.

They ignored Harrison and Susan then left the police station in fury.

On the way back to the hospital, Yulia was still fuming with anger. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

She had contributed to the success of Natalie and Shane's engagement as she once saved Shane's grandfather, but in the end, Susan and Jasmine reaped without sowing.

Actually, throughout these years, Yulia had thought it through and accepted the fact. But it just so happened that Harrison brought up this topic. So since he mentioned it, let's do something then.

When the thought crossed her mind, Yulia narrowed her eyes. "I must not let Jasmine have Shane."

Upon hearing her words, Natalie raised her brow and said, "Mom, what are you trying to do?"

Yulia snorted in response, "I want everyone to know Jasmine's true colors."

"You want to expose the things she did?" Natalie was so surprised that her jaw dropped.

Yulia nodded. "Yes."

"But this will affect Mr. Shane and Thompson Group's reputation. The Thompsons and Smiths are related by marriage. The power of the Thompson family is several times stronger than the Smith family. If everyone knew about Jasmine's arrogance and her evil deeds, they would surmise that it was the Thompson family or Mr. Shane who condoned her to do these things." Natalie bit her lower lips and stared at Yulia with a pointed look on her face.

Yulia tapped Natalie's forehead and said, "At such a time, you still think on his behalf? Don't forget that you and Connor nearly lose your lives because of him. He has to make it up to you, right? So just treat this as his compensation to you!"

"How can you relate the two incidents?" Natalie didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Of course I can. If he doesn't want Thompson Group and himself to be affected, then all he has to do is to break all ties with Jasmine. Okay, that's it. I have made up my mind. Stop persuading me." Yulia waved her hands. Without hesitation, she dialed a media reporter and broke the news of Jasmine's evil deeds, such as plagiarism, suppression of talent, intentional assault, and many more.

Once Jasmine's scandal spread, she will most certainly become a target of disdain in the eyes of the public.

After that, Yulia hung up the call in delight.

Looking at Yulia's happiness, Natalie massaged her temple as she felt her head aching. She thought of telling Shane about that after reaching the hospital.

After all, this will destroy Shane and Thompson Group's reputation.

What if Shane takes out his anger on Mom?

At the hospital, Natalie found an excuse to send Yulia away and phone Shane.

This was the first time she had called Shane after she left Thompson Group.

Nervous was written all over her face.

"Hello?" Shane's cold voice came from the other end.

Natalie gripped her cell phone tighter. "Mr. Shane, I have something to tell you."

"What?" Shane, who was sitting on his chair, moved a little to adjust his posture. Natalie's lips twitched. "Well... My mom..."

She told him everything that happened just now, including what Yulia told the reporter about Jasmine.

On hearing that, Shane's eyebrows furrowed. The climate in the office turned frosty all of a sudden as though the air conditioner had been turned down a few degrees lower.

They still have the nerve to put Natalie into trouble!

Last night, he had warned the Smith family if they found trouble with Natalie, he would call off the engagement.

Are they turning deaf ears on my words?

Seeing as there was no response coming from Shane, Natalie thought that he was angry at Yulia. She balled her hands into fists and said, "Mr. Shane, I'm really sorry. My mom was pissed off by the Smith family, so..."

"It's okay," Shane interrupted her in a solemn tone.

Natalie was stunned for a moment before she could react. Then, she blinked her eyes in bewilderment and asked, "Mr. Shane, you don't blame my mom?"

"No, I should thank her," Shane replied while rubbing his fingers.

"Thank her?" Natalie was puzzled and tilted her head.

"Yes. Aunt Yulia gave me a chance to cancel the engagement," said Shane softly.

Natalie widened her eyes in disbelief. "You want to cancel the engagement?"
