Chapter 1537


    Upon hearing Lina''sment, Natalie chuckled. “You''re right about that for it serves Jessie right. But


    then, I don''t feel happy at all.”


    “That''s because you''re kind, so you don''t feel that an eye for an eye is something worth celebrating,”


    Lina analyzed.


    Natalie propped her head up. “Perhaps. All right, let''s not talk about this anymore. Now that she has


    gone insane, I can let go of the grievances between us at longst. I no longer have to keep her in


    mind every second of every day, tiring myself out.”


    That was to say, she could put away all enmity she harbored against Susan and Jasmine the moment


    thetter snapped and became unhinged.


    From now on, I''ve got one less enemy!


    “Anyway, are you going to tell Mr. Thompson about this?” Lina questioned.


    At once, a smile bloomed on Natalie''s face. “There''s no need for me to do so. Since the mental hospital


    contacted me, they''ll undoubtedly do the same with Shane. Thus, he''ll definitely learn of it after getting


    off the ne.”


    “Ah, I see.” Lina merely nodded without saying anything further.


    Shortly after, they arrived back at the vi.


    Natalie and Lina alighted from the car and walked into the vi.


    The housekeeper had already prepared dinner.


    Sitting down in the dining room, they started eating.


    Halfway through the meal, Natalie received a video call from Shane.


    Seeing that, Lina hurriedly took some food before picking up her bowl and scurrying away.


    In her own words, she didn''t want to eat with Natalie. Otherwise, she would again be treated to a front-


    row seat of their public disys of affection and lose her appetite.


    Natalie stared at her back, torn between amusement and exasperation. Shaking her head, she


    answered the video call.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as the call was connected, the man''s handsome countenance appeared on the screen.


    Smiling, Natalie asked, “Have you had dinner, Darling?”


    “Nope. I''ll be eating in a while,” Shane admitted, casting a nce at his watch.


    Although there wasn''t much difference in the time zone between them, there was still an hour''s


    difference. As such, it wasn''t surprising that he hadn''t had dinner yet.


    “I already know about Jasmine,” Shane started.


    Natalie had expected him to speak of that, so she shed him a faint smile. “To be honest, I was rather


    surprised when I heard about it. After all, the fact that she had now only gone crazy after being locked


    up in there for such a long time is a testament to her strong willpower.”


    “In such a ce, her end will remain the same no matter how strong her willpower,” Shane remarked


    cidly.


    In response, Natalie inclined her head a fraction. “You''re right.”


    “I heard that you''re nning to continue supporting her?” Shane looked right at her.


    Natalie grunted in acquiescence. “Yeah. Since she''s a lunatic now, I n to have her stay there forever.


    I can''t possibly allow her toe out and harm others, right?”


    At the end of the day, no one could predict the threat a person with mental illness would pose to


    society.


    At that, Shane nodded. “We''ll go with your n, then.”


    It''s not like we can''t afford that pittance anyway.


    “Thank you for your support, Darling.” A wealth of warmth suffused Natalie when she heard that, and


    she couldn''t help acting coquettish.


    At her enticement, Shane''s gaze darkened, and his Adam''s apple inexorably bobbed. Even his voice


    grew hoarse. “Ahem, that''s enough. Let''s not talk about that anymore. Go ahead and have dinner first.”


    He didn''t n on continuing that line of conversation with her.


    Otherwise, the desire zing within him wouldn''t abate.


    “Okay, I''ll have dinner first, then. We''ll talk further tomorrow.” Natalie bobbed her head.


    Shane murmured in acknowledgment before ending the video call.


    Putting down her phone, Natalie sent Lina a text that the video call had concluded and she could return


    to the dining room.


    A few secondster, Lina came back with her bowl in hand.


    She pulled her chair out and sat down. Pinning her gaze on Natalie, she queried, “You''re done talking


    with Mr. Thompson?”


    “Yes. That''s why I called you back,” Natalie replied with a smile.


    “Gosh, I really regreting over to stay with you as I''m treated to public disys of affection daily. If


    this continues, I truly won''t be able to bear it anymore.” Lina propped a hand against her forehead while


    putting on an exaggerated expression.


    Natalie poured her a ss of red wine. “All right, don''t take it to heart. Just treat me to disys of


    affection in return when you''ve gotten together with Bryan in the future, okay?”


    “That''s a good idea!” Taking the ss of red wine from her, Lina snickered.


    After clinking sses, they continued eating.
