Silas did not linger too long after they left and walked into the villa.
“Mr. Shane.” In the living room, Silas saw the pale-faced man massaging his temples.
When Shane heard Silas, he put down his hand and looked up. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to report my findings.” Silas handed him the document that was in his hands.
Shane’s eyes froze slightly before he took the document and flipped through it.
While he was reading, Silas said, “Previously, I conducted investigations on Harrison’s family of three, but I didn’t
verify their statements with other people who are related to the Smiths. Therefore, what I found out then was that
Ms. Natalie had eloped. However, this time, I interviewed a maid who left the Smith family a few years ago and
their neighbors as well...”
Shane gazed up at Silas. “And then?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLight reflected slightly from Silas’s glasses as he continued, “And then, just like what Ms. Carter said, when Ms.
Smith left the Smith family, she did not have a boyfriend, and neither did she elope. Instead, she was thrown out by
the Smiths together with her mother and Jared Smith.”
“He actually drove his first wife and two children out of his family home? How could Harrison do something like
that?” Shane sneered.
Silas shrugged his shoulders. “He did that because he wasn’t fond of Ms. Smith and Jared. Actually, his favorite child
is Jasmine. Therefore, he drove them out to ensure a better future for her!”
“Better future?” Shane’s thumb stopped ruffling through the papers.
Silas nodded. “According to that maid, Harrison threw Ms. Smith out so that Jasmine could take her place and get
engaged to you. However, they were afraid that you would be enraged and take it out on the Smith family, so he
secretly created the rumor that Ms. Smith had eloped. With this...”
“With that, even if I were to realize the swap, I wouldn’t have done anything to the Smiths because I would’ve
thought that my real fiancée had eloped and that they replaced her for me in time.” Shane gripped the papers
tightly with a cold glint in his eyes.
Silas looked down. “Yes, and this is also why Ms. Smith never knew that she had a fiancé. The maid told me that
every time Yulia was about to tell Ms. Smith, Harrison would use all kinds of excuses to stop her, as he was afraid
that Ms. Smith would get to know you.”
“He had quite a comprehensive plan, didn’t he?” Shane narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Both Natalie and Jasmine were Harrison’s daughters, but he loved one and took down the other one.
In order to have Jasmine marry into the Thompson family, he even went to the extent of driving Natalie out of their
home and tarnishing her good name. He did not deserve to be a parent at all!
As if he could read Shane’s mind, Silas hesitated before asking, “Sir, should we tell Ms. Smith all this?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Not for the time being.” Shane tossed the documents on the sofa and said dully, “Wait until I confirm my
relationship with Natalie before we tell her. By then, if she wants to seek revenge with Harrison, I can help her
openly.”
“Yes, sir.” Silas nodded with understanding.
Suddenly, he added, “By the way, sir, there is one more thing. After they were driven out of their family home, Yulia
looked for you at Thompson residence.”
“Looked for me?” Shane was slightly stunned.
Silas looked down. “Yes, she wanted to discuss your engagement with Ms. Smith. However, you were not there
then, so she met with Sam’s family. Using the excuse that Yulia was divorced, Sam told her that your engagement
with Ms. Smith was nullified. Yulia then left the house in a huff.”
Shane sprang to his feet instantly with an icy cold glare. “Sam Thompson!”
Silas was feeling indignant as well.
When he found out about it, he almost flew into a rage. If not for Sam Thompson, Mr. Shane and Ms. Smith would
have been together a long time ago.
