Chapter 38


    Right at this moment, a colleague suddenly eximed, “Holy crap! Our CEO actually has illegitimate


    children outside!”


    “Huh, what? Illegitimate children? Where?”


    All of a sudden, the entire main office descended into chaos, as everyone rushed to the colleague who


    was the source of the breaking news. Natalie was the only one who sat there motionlessly, too stunned


    to join in the excitement.


    Shane has children born out of wedlock?


    How can it be!


    Even though she did not know him very well, her intuition told her that he was not that kind of


    irresponsible person. It must be the work of some social media ounts deliberately spreading


    sensational rumors and click-baits for the sake of poprity.


    Natalie shook her head andughed as she zeroed in on that thought.


    Although she was not interested in gossips about Shane, her ears picked up her colleagues’ excited


    chatters, and several words caught her attention.


    Two illegitimate children and a woman being carried in his arms. Got into a car…


    For some reason, these phrases sounded really familiar.


    “Don’t tell me…” Natalie’s expression changed like the weather. Quickly, she minimized the current page


    on her screen, clicked into her browser, and searched for news about Shane’s illegitimate children.


    Her search immediately turned up a lot of matches.


    Randomly clicking one of the top search results, she entered the site, only to be greeted by a familiar yet


    blurry photo.


    Seeing herself in the photo, Natalie reflexively threw away the mouse in her hand and covered her face.


    Sure enough, someone captured the moment when Shane was carrying her into the car!


    Even though the faces of the people in the photos were censored and others could not recognize her,


    she was sure that Jasmine would definitely be able to identify her in the photos.


    Since Shane was Jasmine’s fiancé, thetter would certainly not let this slide!


    Natalie dreaded the oues of this matter.


    While she was still caught up in her thoughts, Jasmine’s voice rang out from the door of the main office.


    “What are you all babbling about?”


    “Ms. Jasmine,e and take a look! Our CEO actually has illegitimate children outside,” a male


    colleague thered and immediately waved at Jasmine.


    The moment she heard the phrase “illegitimate children”, Jasmine’s heart nearly jumped out. She


    retorted, “What nonsense are you moring about? Since when Shane has children born out of


    wedlock?”


    “I’m not the one with the nonsense. It’s all over the news. See for yourself!” The poor guy felt wronged


    and thus responded.


    “Surely those are mere rumors!” As Jasmine strode towards him, her face was burning with fury, yet her


    heart was beating like a drum.


    As she stepped next to the male colleague, he pointed to the photo on hisputer screen and said,


    “Ms. Jasmine, look!”


    Jasmine squinted her eyes at the direction he was pointing. The next second, her heart sank.


    She knew the people in the photo. In fact, she knew them very well indeed! One of them was Natalie.


    The other two were her little b**tards!


    Why was Shane with Natalie and her two childrenst night?


    Why would he be carrying Natalie in his arms?


    Her mind was full of questions that breathlessness took over her. Jasmine’s eyes were bloodshot as she


    furiously printed out the screenshot of the photo.


    Immediately after, she went to Natalie and threw the printed photo at her face. Livid with anger, she


    asked loudly, “Care to exin what is going on in this photo?”


    “What’s going on?” Some in the office could not understand the scene they were witnessing.


    “What else could it be? Ms. Jasmine printed out the photo to question Natalie. It must have meant that


    the person in the photo is none other than Natalie.”


    “No way. You mean Natalie was secretly involved with our CEO and even gave birth to two children for


    him?”


    “Shhh. Shut up and watch quietly.”


    Everyone fell into silence. They were watching the unfolding scene with great interest.


    Having predicted that Jasmine would react in such an overwhelming way, Natalie could feel a headache


    coming up and sighed. “This is a misunderstanding. Let me exin.”


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    “Misunderstanding?” Jasmine snickered bitterly before continuing, “Youy in my fiance’s arms and you


    dare to tell me this whole thing is just a misunderstanding?”


    She had made up her mind to prevent Natalie and Shane from ever contacting one another.


    Unexpectedly, as fate would have it, not only did they meet one another, they even shared such an


    intimate moment.


    This was totally uneptable!


    “This is really a misunderstanding. It all started like this…” Natalie gazed into Jasmine’s bloodshot eyes


    and started rting everything that had happenedst night.


    As expected, Jasmine did not believe a single word from Natalie. In fact, she was getting more and more


    agitated that her nails even digging into her clenched palms. “Enough! What ame excuse about finding


    a pretend-father for some children’s games. All of them are just excuses! Can’t you find other men in


    such a huge restaurant? Why must it be my fiancé? Natalie, do you dare to say that you have no other


    intentions?”


    Despite her anger, Natalie suddenly broke into a chuckle.


    And that chuckle made Jasmine even more ufortable. In her sharp, furious voice, Jasmine


    questioned, “What are you snickering about?”


    “I’mughing at your imagination, your emotionally biased judgment, and your needless worries. Even


    though your deduction may be sound, I will still stick to my stand that this is all a misunderstanding. If


    you still don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Shane whether I’m lying or doing anything intentionally.”


    Natalie calmly exined.
