As a result, she was caught completely unaware by the insignificant person who bore such a grievance toward her
that she was willing to murder Natalie's unborn child.
There would be people I would inadvertently offend, so I cannot afford to drop my guard. The next hit on me could
be someone who I have offended even in the mildest manner.
“It's a good thing you understand now. Perhaps something like that will never happen again.” Shane rubbed
Natalie's hand in comfort.
“You're right,” Natalie concurred.
After breakfast, the couple brought the children back to the villa.
Not long after, Sally and Silas joined them.
“Mr. Shane, Hannah has been handed over to the authorities, but...” Silas trailed off as he rubbed his nose

“What happened?” Natalie asked Sally.
Sally shoved Silas aside. “Let me tell them. As Hannah is a citizen of our country, these foreign cops didn't feel
thrilled about intervening. They contacted the clubhouse to have her delivered to them to be deported. Our own
police will take it from there.”
“I should have known,” Natalie remarked with a chuckle.
Sally frowned. “I'm not too pleased about it. Our own laws of intimidation are not as severe as the foreign ones. I've
inquired about her case and was told that she would be sentenced to two years of imprisonment at most. Since her
crimes did not achieve their goal, and with her full confession, her sentence would probably be reduced to a measly
six months.”
“What do you think?” Shane looked toward Natalie. “If you think that six months is too short, I can have the Garcia
family—”
“No need.” Natalie shook her head. “Let her be convicted for however long the authorities decide. Compared to
Susan and the rest, Hannah isn't exactly malicious. I don't think we need to intervene to maximize her punishment,
or we'll be no different from Jacqueline. After her six months are up, let her be exiled forever.”
Sally's eyes lit up. “That sounds good too. It would be even more torturous for her to never be able to return to the
country.”
The foreign countries are riddled with rampant crimes and war. For Hannah to live in fear every single day is the
best punishment she could receive.
“We'll do it your way,” Shane announced.
“Thank you, darling.” Natalie nodded.
Shane stroked her hair and smiled at her affectionately.

“Find someone for yourself and join us,” Natalie said with a chuckle.
At her words, Sally turned to look at Silas without thinking. Coincidentally, Silas looked over at her at the same time.
With their eyes locked together, they froze for a moment.
Sally looked away quickly. “We'll talk about it in the future,” she squeaked.
As Natalie studied Sally's crimson ears and cheeks, she seemed to have understood something. “In the future it is,
then,” Natalie said with a knowing wink.
“Nat, I've got to go,” Sally mumbled before leaving the room as she did not dare remain for fear of being teased.
Silas cleared his throat. “Mr. Shane, madam, I should be going as well.”
“Go on.” Shane nodded.
With a final bow at the couple, Silas departed after Sally, leaving only Shane and Natalie in the living room.
“Did you see that, darling?” Natalie hugged Shane's arm with a mischievous glint in her eye.
