Jacqueline would be moving in soon, and she couldn't be sure if Jacqueline would harm her kids. Therefore, she had no choice but to spend a great fortune installing these spy cameras to keep watch on Jacqueline.

If Jacqueline really ended up stitching them up, she could show the evidence any time. It was a means to protect herself and the children.

Not long after that, the spy cameras had all been installed.

Natalie settled the payment and send the workers off from the villa.

Right then, Mrs. Wilson who had been sent away had also returned. Looking at the empty villa, Mrs. Wilson asked, "Madam, is the renovation for your studio done?"

Natalie nodded. "That's right, so it's time for me to leave as well."

With that, she took her bag and drove off heading to the company.

Time flew, and a week passed in just the blink of an eye.

It was the day Jacqueline was discharged from the hospital. It was also a weekend.

Natalie didn't go to the company and stayed home to accompany her children while Shane went to the hospital to pick Jacqueline up.

The children were aware of what was about to come and they were both a little sullen. Not even toys could bring a smile to their faces.

Seeing as such, Natalie held Sharon's face in both her hands and lifted it. "Darling, I know you don't like Ms. Graham, but when Ms. Graham is here later, you shouldn't show an unhappy face and attitude, understand? That will make Ms. Graham feel that she isn't welcomed here, and it would make it difficult for Daddy."

"I get it." Sharon nodded as she pouted.

Natalie rubbed her soft cheeks before putting her hands down. She then turned to Connor who was solving a Rubik's cube. "Connor, when I'm not around, you have to protect your little sister. Try your best to be around her, and avoid coming into contact with Ms. Graham. I know you can do that, right?"

She stroke the little boy's hair dotingly.

In response, the little boy answered, "Don't worry, Mommy. I know what to do."

"That's good then." Natalie smiled as she rubbed on his forehead. "I believe in you. I've always known that Connor is a brave boy, but you're a child after all. If Ms. Graham insists on getting close to you, let Mommy know right away, alright?"

"Understood," replied Connor.

After that, Natalie continued to remind Sharon of a few things before they heard the car engine from outside the villa.

Natalie bit her lip as she knew that Shane had come back with Jacqueline. Holding the hands of her two children, Natalie walked out of the villa.

Outside the villa, Shane was helping Jacqueline getting out of the car.

As soon as Sharon saw that, she pursed her lips in an extremely displeased manner.

She couldn't bear seeing her daddy getting so close to another woman.

She could only accept him carrying her or Mommy.

Hence, she flung Natalie's hand aside in an instance and sprinted over to Shane as she called out, "Daddy, carry me!"

"Sharon." Clearly, Natalie didn't see that coming. She frowned and wanted to summon her daughter back by her side.

But Sharon refused to listen to her and just darted toward Shane.

Shane paused in his tracks, and he thawed out as he saw his daughter scurrying over. As a result, he let go of Jacqueline's arm and bent down to carry Sharon. Sharon leaned in Shane's arms and snorted as she stole a glance at Jacqueline who was standing next to Shane.

Instantly, Jacqueline clenched her fists tightly under her long wide sleeves.

This damned little girl. Not only did she stole away Shane's attention, but she's also provoking me deliberately!

Jacqueline flew into a rage, but she was able to put on a smile forcibly. "Shane, this must be Ms. Smith's daughter, right?"

Shane nodded in an indeterminate manner. "She's also my daughter."

Jacqueline froze at that, but she quickly regained her composure and replied, "She's pretty. She must look just like Ms. Smith when she grows up later."

With that, she reached out her hand toward Sharon who was in Shane's arms. "Hi, little girl. What's your name?"

Looking at her hand, Sharon snorted again and turned away, keeping the back of her head against Jacqueline, and totally disregarded her.

Jacqueline was so fumed she felt like giving the little girl two tight slaps to warn her that she was no kind soul for her to mess with.

However, she could only keep that thought to herself and didn't dare to show it overtly.
