“No! Stop!” Susan barked out and tried to stop her.
Natalie pretended not to hear her and proceeded to reveal how Jasmine escaped from the mental hospital and went to the hotel to try to harm Shane.
Of course, she didn’t mention how Shane took revenge by leaving her with a few men. She only reported how Shane didn’t take the drug and the other men drank it instead. Hence, Jasmine was raped by them.
“It created a huge commotion at the hotel. Both Mr. Shane and the hotel can prove it,” Natalie explained.
A flash of disdain appeared in the police officer’s gaze. “Oh, well. She brought this upon herself then”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean by she brought his upon herself?” Susan yelled at him, her cheeks flushed out of anger.
The police officer flinched at Susan’s roar. “Why are you yelling? You said it was Ms. Smith here who humiliated Jasmine and caused the latter to leap to her death. Now, it is proved that Jasmine’s death has nothing to do with her. She can sue you for libel!”
Hearing his warning, Susan was taken aback. However, she quickly regained her senses and sneered, “Don’t you dare threaten me with that. Even if Jas’ death has nothing to do with her, she needs to bear some sort of responsibility.”
Shooting a fierce glare in Natalie’s direction, she announced, “If you didn’t return to the country, Jas would still be Shane’s fiancée. She wouldn’t end up like this!”
“Oh, so I was wrong for returning to the country?” Natalie let out a sardonic laugh.
Even the police officer was shocked by how ridiculous Susan was. He straightened the hat on his head and uttered impatiently, “Alright, you can leave now. I need to continue questioning Ms. Smith.”
“No! She killed my daughter. I want her to pay!” Susan’s face contorted in fury as she rolled up her sleeves to start a fight.
Of course, the police officer leaped forward to stop her.
Alas, Susan had lost her sanity and was unbelievably strong. She managed to push the man away and went for Natalie.
Natalie’s eyes widened. In her terror, she forgot to avoid the attack.
Right then, a strong arm landed on her shoulder and pulled her aside.
Susan lost her balance and immediately toppled to the ground. The maniacal expression on her face turned to an ugly grimace as she gasped in pain.
The police officer couldn’t help but mutter silently, You deserve it. Still, he went to her and helped her up for his job was to serve the public.
Meanwhile, Shane released his grip on Natalie and scanned her with concern. “Are you alright?”
Hearing the concern in his voice, Natalie shook her head and grinned. “I’m fine. Thank goodness you came in time.”
“That’s good.” Shane’s nervous heart began to relax. He then narrowed his gaze and turned to glower at Susan.
Susan cowered instinctively and avoided his gaze.
Seeing how fearful she was, Natalie let out a scoff and took Shane’s arm. “Alright, Shane. Let’s talk business.”
Shane raised his chin and stopped glowering at Susan.
Immediately, Susan let out a sigh of relief. She heard Natalie saying, “Sir, actually I came here because I suspect the one who committed suicide wasn’t Jasmine!”
“Huh?” The police officer was obviously shocked by her declaration.
Susan immediately pointed an accusing finger at Natalie. “B*tch! What are you talking about? Don’t tell me someone else committed suicide instead of Jas!”
“Yes, you’re right. I think it was someone else.” Natalie looked straight at her.
Shane remained silent and smoothed Natalie’s slightly messy hair.
Susan took in his intimate gesture as her eyes widened in astonishment. “Y-You…”
