Lina laughed. “Well said.”
Natalie's eyes narrowed. “Right. Now that we've found her, it's time for her to pay what is due.”
Having dared to instigate Lucy to accuse her of plagiarism, Natalie was certain Hannah would be brazen enough to
do worse things to her in the future.
Locating Hannah proved to be the perfect opportunity Natalie needed to eliminate the threat Hannah posed before
it could rear its ugly head.
As she was too soft-hearted back then to crush Susan, it led to her causing the death of Natalie's mother.
This time, I won't allow anything similar to happen.
Spurred by that thought, Natalie summoned Dave and the others.
“Go there and capture that woman.” She pointed at the computer.
Dave and the rest leaned closer for a look. After noting the address and Hannah's face, they nodded. “Understood,
Madam.”
“After you've captured her, contact Shane and he'll arrange a place for you to bring her to,” Natalie said bluntly as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe lowered her gaze.
Knowing Shane as well as she did, he would send Hannah to a place where she would not be able to return to the
country or make an appearance before her again.
That place would also make Hannah's life hell. But so what?
Hannah had once joined forces with Jasmine to go against Natalie and had maliciously tried to anger her into having
a miscarriage. Natalie was astounded by Hannah's audacity to avenge herself.
Then I, too, will make her pay. I'm far from cruel, but if I'm not tough enough for this world, I and my loved ones will
be the only ones to suffer.
After her encounters with Jacqueline, Jasmine, Susan, and Sean, she had long learned how to be ruthless and cold.
If I'm not tough enough, how can I protect myself and my children?
Natalie did not want to receive news of harm coming to her children and of Shane's disappearance ever again. She
also dreaded the despair of being stranded in an unreachable corner of the world and never seeing home again.
The only way to defend herself against that possibility was to be heavier-handed than her adversaries.
“Yes, Madam.” Dave and the rest nodded at Natalie's instructions before turning to exit the study to execute them.
Along the way, they contacted Shane and relayed Natalie's instructions to him.
After listening, not only did Shane not think that her actions were questionable, but he also felt very relieved.
Knowing that Natalie's kindness was the reason why she had suffered at the hands of others, he was glad to see her
grow.
Seeing her take care of herself by being tough gives me more relief than I thought possible.
“Send that woman to the quarries of Alendor once you've apprehended her,” Shane said dismissively, his lips
pressed into a thin line.
The quarry would mean an inescapable life sentence. Life would become day after day of mining and getting
trodden upon without ever seeing the light of justice.
A life like this will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on that woman called Hannah.
After hanging up, Shane placed his phone down and lightly tapped his desk with his fingers.
Silas entered at that moment and walked up to his office desk. “Mr. Thompson.”
“What is it?” Shane gazed up at him.
Silas lowered his gaze to meet his employer's. “Stanley's here.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Oh?” Shane narrowed his eyes.
Stanley actually came.
Having expected Stanley to see him from the start, Shane did not expect the man to come so soon.
“Show him in.” Shane gestured with his chin.
Silas nodded before turning around to leave, returning seconds later with Stanley behind him.
Instead of a white coat, Stanley was dressed in casual wear.
His head was slightly bowed when he came before Shane. He looked at him and without beating around the bush,
asked bluntly, “Where did you send Joyce and her family to?”
Shane took a sip of his coffee. “Why do you want to know?”
Stanley's eyes narrowed. “Why are you asking questions you already know the answer to?”
“I do know the answer,” Shane replied plainly, “but I still want to know what you'll do once you find out about what
happened to them. Are you going to keep forcing Joyce to have an abortion? Or are you going to harm her
parents?”
