    After looking at the caller ID, Shane answered the call. “Jacqueline!”

    When Natalie heard the name, she instinctively looked at Shane’s phone.


    He did not notice Natalie’s reaction, for he was focusing on the phone call.


    After a few seconds, he softly moved his lips. “Got it. I’ll be right over.”


    Shane turned to Natalie as soon as he put his phone down. “I’ve got to go. If you have anything you


    don’t understand, we’ll talk about itter at the office.”


    Natalie forced a smile on her face. “Okay. See you then.”


    “See you.” Shane put his phone back into his pocket and walked to the exit.


    He seems to be in a hurry. Did something happen to Jacqueline?


    A staff member approached Natalie while she was still deep in thought. “Ms. Natalie, someone’s


    looking for you in the break room.”


    “Who is it?” asked Natalie curiously after snapping out of it.


    The staff member shook his head. “I don’t know the woman. She called herself Ms. Smith.”


    Could it be Jasmine?


    Natalie raised her brows and then thanked the staff member before moving to the break room.


    The door to the break room was open. As soon as Natalie stepped in, she saw a palming right at


    her.


    Startled, Natalie quickly moved her head and barely dodged the p, but her face was scratched by


    Jasmine’s fingernails.


    Wounded, Natalie pulled her brows together in pain.


    Jasmine red murderously at her. “Good reflex, b*tch.”


    Natalie covered the wounded side of her face and responded coldly, “Well, I wasn’t just going to let you


    hit me. Besides, we have the same father. If I’m a b*tch, what does that make you?”


    “You... “ Infuriated by the riposte, Jasmine lifted her hand once again, but Natalie quickly grabbed hold


    of her wrist and pped her first.


    p!


    Jasmine’s face was turned aside after the p. She froze for a while before cradling her face and


    staring at Natalie in disbelief. “How dare you hit me!”


    “Why wouldn’t I?” sneered Natalie after dusting off her hands.


    Enraged, Jasmine tried to pounce on Natalie. “I’ll kill you, b*tch!”


    “You can try,” mocked Natalie before extending her leg out to trip Jasmine.


    Having lost her bnce, Jasmine fell to the floor and bit her own lips, causing blood to spill out of them.


    “Tsk, tsk! How pitiful!” Looking at Jasmine’s miserable state, Natalie continued to ridicule the woman.


    Natalie then took a step toward Jasmine before squatting down beside her attacker. She lifted the


    woman’s head by pulling the hair. “Who jumps on someone like that? If I didn’t know any better, I’d


    think that you’re a madwoman.”


    Jasmine’s eyes widened when she was called a madwoman. She wanted to get up and tear her


    stepsister apart, but Natalie’s knee was on her, so she was pinned to the ground.


    “You’d better watch yourself. Your mother’s getting on my nerves, and you’re her daughter. I can’t


    promise you that I won’t take it out on you, so you better tell me why you’re here now.”


    Jasmine gave Natalie a death re. “You came to my home and demanded twenty million from Dad!


    That’s why!”


    “Oh? So are you here to get the money back?” Natalie continued to ridicule her stepsister.


    Jasmine could not move, so she snorted coldly on the floor. “You know our family isn’t financially


    capable of giving you that much money.”


    “So what?”


    “What do you mean ‘so what?’ Do you want to see our family go bankrupt?” roared Jasmine.


    However, Natalie did not even bat an eyelid. “Why not? The Smith family had severed ties with me


    when I was kicked out seven years ago, so why would I care?”


    “You... “ Jasmine was left speechless when she realized that she could not convince her stepsister.
