Shane was shocked and worried upon hearing that Natalie almost met with a car accident.
Meanwhile, Joyce was startled when she sensed Shane’s worriedness. “Mr. Shane, since you’re worried about Nat, it means you still love her, don’t you? Since you still love her, why don’t you tell her everything? If Nat is at fault, you can ask her to change. However, please don’t abuse her emotionally, for it isn’t something that a man should do!”
“She can’t and won’t change!” Shane replied plainly.
Since Shane’s parents were dead, there was nothing Natalie could do to compensate for it.
Joyce couldn’t tell what was on Shane’s mind but was disappointed to hear his answer. “Why can’t she change? Everything can change as long as it’s not an unforgivable crime. Besides, Nat is kind-hearted and won’t commit any hideous crimes.”
“That’s enough! Get out if you’re only here to lecture me!” Shane pointed at the door.
Joyce’s eyes widened.
Before she could add something, Shane instructed once again, “Get out!”
Joyce pursed her lips and grumbled, “Fine, I’ll go, you unreasonable man! This is in revenge for whatever you’ve done to Nat!”
With that, she took a deep breath and stretched out her arms to pull a few strands of Shane’s hair.
Shane grunted and frowned deeply.
At that moment, Silas was scared to death. Since Shane looked ferocious, he was afraid that Shane would severely punish Joyce. As such, before Shane could say anything in anger, he immediately grabbed Joyce’s arm and dragged her out of the room.
“What did you do? How dare you pull Mr. Shane’s hair? Are you out of your mind?” After leaving the CEO’s office, Silas let go of Joyce’s arm and bellowed at her.
Meanwhile, Joyce was frightened after the ordeal.
Nonetheless, she looked at the strands of hair and felt that it was worth her effort.
“Humph! He deserved it for mistreating Nat,” Joyce sneered.
Silas heaved a sigh and replied, “Mr. Shane didn’t wish to do that either. However, the entire incident is too complicated.”
“You know the details of how Nat offended Mr. Shane?” Joyce’s eyes beamed as she looked at Silas.
Silas nodded in response. “To be exact, it wasn’t about what madam did but what her mom did. Madam has been dragged into the mess as a result.”
Although Natalie wasn’t the one who crashed into and killed Shane’s parents, she was also in the car.
As such, Silas felt that it was kind enough of Shane not to take actions on Natalie.
“Did Yulia do it?” Joyce frowned and said, “But Yulia had already passed away. What could she do?”
Silas heaved a sigh again and responded, “I can’t tell you the details. So, please stop asking about it and go home now.”
With that, he pushed Joyce toward the elevator.
Joyce didn’t give up and continued to dwell on it. However, the next moment, she was pushed into the elevator.
Joyce stomped her feet in anger and yelled, “What a prick! How could he pique my curiosity but refuse to tell me the whole story?”
Although Joyce was disgruntled, she didn’t go back to ask Silas. Instead, Joyce planned to ask Natalie if she knew what Yulia did that irritated Shane.
Even though Joyce didn’t get a satisfying answer this time, her time here was not in vain.
She gazed at the few hair strands and chuckled.
Her initial plan was to come here to teach Shane a lesson on behalf of Natalie.
When Joyce argued with Shane just now, she suddenly recalled that Natalie wanted to do a DNA test but lacked strands of Shane’s hair. As such, she mustered up her courage to pull some strands of Shane’s hair from his head.
Now that Shane probably hated Joyce, she thought she had to avoid showing up before him for the time being.
After all, Joyce was afraid that Shane would retaliate against her.
As Joyce was deep in thought, a shiver ran down her spine. Then, she took out a tissue paper from her bag and wrapped the hair with it cautiously.
Just then, the elevator arrived with a ding.
Joyce called Natalie while walking toward the entrance. “Nat, I have some good news.”
