Thereafter, Natalie bid them farewell and left.
However, just when she'd stepped out of the elevator and was going to head toward the front entrance of the
television station, she suddenly glimpsed two familiar figures ahead, who were tussling.
That's Susan Sullivan and her lover, Warren Litch! Why are there here?
Natalie's brows creased in puzzlement at the sight. In the next moment, she saw Susan flinging herself at Warren
with tears streaming down her face.
Afraid that she would be spotted, Natalie furtively crept to the corner of the corridor at the side. When she'd done
so, she flattened herself against the wall and surreptitiously watched the show.
Not only did she watch the show, but she also fished out her cell phone and secretly filmed everything.
“What should we do now that Jas is in such a condition, Warren?” Susan wailed piteously as she clutched at
Warren's collar.
However, Warren merely looked at her impatiently. “Didn't I tell you not to come and look for me here? If someone
recognizes you, I'll lose this job that I finally secured after expending much effort.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing this, Natalie's head snapped up.
I didn't know that he's now working at the television station! He was jobless not long ago, yet he's now an employee
here in the blink of an eye. I wonder if Susan gave him a hand.
“How could you say such a thing?”
Susan stared at Warren with recrimination written all over her face, her eyes red-rimmed. “Is your job more
important or Jas? Jas has been violated by a group of people and is now lying in the hospital with her legs crippled!
And she's going to be sent back to the mental hospital soon! Say, what if she truly becomes insane or commits
suicide?”
Warren smoothed his shirt, which she had crumpled. “Why are you telling me all this?”
At this, Natalie nodded as well.
Even I'm very curious as to why she's telling him about Jasmine's situation.
“Why? Of course it's because I want you to figure out a way to save Jas!” Susan snapped in a booming voice.
At this, Warren became all the more impatient. “Save her? How am I to save her? I'm just an insignificant
employee, so I don't have the capability to do that. Why don't you go to your husband, Harrison Smith, instead?”
“Harrison is entirely useless now. The Smith family has gone bankrupt, and he's even being targeted by Shane
Thompson, so he doesn't dare do anything at all. If it weren't for the money he has left for his golden years, I
would've already asked him for a divorce. But you're different. You have a few friends, no? You...”
“Stop right there!” Warren cut her off. “I can't have my friends being targeted by Mr. Shane as well just to save
her!”
I've still got to depend on them to survive, so I can't have them take the risk!
“Warren Litch!” Susan roared, her face red with fury. “How could you say that? Jas is your daughter as well! How
could you be so ruthless?”
Around the corner, Natalie was shellshocked when she unexpectedly heard this remark. Her jaw dropped open, and
even her cell phone clattered to the floor.
What did I just hear? Jasmine... is Warren Litch's daughter?
“Who's there?” The sound of Natalie's cell phone clattering to the ground caught the attention of both Susan and
Warren.
All at once, their gazes snapped in the direction of the sound in concert. The moment they noticed a slip of fabric

their conversation earlier.
“What should we do now, Warren? She must have deliberately eavesdropped because she recognized me!” Susan
tugged at Warren's sleeve anxiously.
Likewise, Warren was also afraid that the person would reveal everything between him and Susan. Of course, his
main concern was that it would come to Harrison's knowledge.
Although Harrison Smith is now bankrupt, he still has a lot of connections, so I might not necessarily be his match.
Thus, I've got to stop the person who'd eavesdropped on our conversation! Of course, it'll be best if I can bribe her,
but if otherwise, then I'll just... eliminate her!
As his eyes narrowed dangerously, he shook off Susan's hand and stalked toward the corner.
When Natalie heard the sound of footsteps, she knew that Susan and Warren were heading toward her. Afraid that
she would be caught, she bent down and picked her cell phone up from the ground with gritted teeth before taking
to her heels.
Having not expected her to flee, Warren was stunned for a moment. In the next instance, he called for security,
claiming that the paparazzi had sneaked into the television station.
