Natalie entered the room and saw Jasmine was leaning against the headboard of her bed with her eyes closed.
Her eyes flew open when she heard footsteps. When she saw it was Natalie, she was instantly on the defense and
screeched, “It's you!”
“Yes, it's me. I heard you're pregnant, so I thought I should visit you.” Natalie smiled as her gaze landed on
Jasmine's tummy.
“Oh, that's so kind of you!” Jasmine mocked.
One of Natalie's bodyguards pulled out a chair for her and she sat down. “Isn't that a fact? I do think I'm a kind
person, quite unlike you. You conspired with the doctor and the teacher to swap the DNA samples of my kids,
preventing them from finding out Shane is their father. I did you no wrong, but you did so many unscrupulous things
to hurt us.”
“What? Shane found out Sharon and Connor are his?” Jasmine shrieked. Her face fell upon hearing the news.

Jasmine suddenly laughed hysterically, but there was bitterness in her voice and tears in her eyes when she said,
“This is so unfair! How can God be so unfair to me? I made so much effort to hide that fact from him, but in the
end, he still found out. You must be elated that your two kids ended up being Shane's kids, aren't you, Natalie?
You've finally secured your position as Mrs. Thompson.”
“Of course I'm happy, but let me correct you on one point. I've always been Mrs. Thompson, and there has never
been a doubt about it,” Natalie retorted. She then added, “Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about me. I came to
ask about your plans for your unborn baby.”
“What do you want?” Jasmine shielded her stomach with her hand and moved away from Natalie.
“What did you think I would do to you? I only wanted to know if you plan to keep the baby. If yes, then by all means,
keep it. However, if you plan to abort it, I can make the necessary arrangements for you,” Natalie groused,
exasperated by her reaction.
“Abort it! I want an abortion! I don't want to keep this bastard!” Jasmine suddenly became emotional, and there was
much hatred in her eyes.
Judging by her hysteria, Natalie guessed the child in her was likely conceived unexpectedly from a non-consensual
act.
Natalie had no intention of probing further to find out who did it or how it happened.
She only calmly promised, “I hear you. I'll arrange for the surgery as soon as possible.”
Jasmine bowed her head in silence, hiding her emotions and thoughts from everyone.
Natalie bit her lip and added, “Oh, there's one more matter I reckon I should let you know.”
“What?” Jasmine lifted her head and questioned.
“It has always pained and puzzled me as to why Harrison would chase our family out seven years ago when Jared
and I, like you, are his children. I don't understand how he could be so cold toward us while he spoils you with all his
love. However, I've let go of that now. Do you know why?” Natalie asked with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Well, what else could you do but let go? You know you can never replace me as his favorite, so letting go is the
only thing you can do! Do you think you can win back his love?” Jasmine mocked triumphantly.
Casually flipping her hair, Natalie revealed a piece of shocking news. “You're wrong. I let go not because I can't win
his love; I don't mind it anymore as I know he's gotten his retribution. His most beloved daughter is actually not his
own flesh and blood! That has to be the biggest slap to his face possible! How can I still bear grudges after knowing
that?”
The news stunned Jasmine, and she was left speechless for a long while. Finally, she found her voice again and
asked in a quavering tone, “What did you say? I'm not Daddy's flesh and blood?”
“That's right.” It was an affirmative reply from Natalie.
“Impossible!” Jasmine broke down and yelled, unable to accept the fact that she was biologically unrelated to
Harrison.
Although she wasn't exactly fond of Harrison, it was still shocking to find out he was not her biological father.
During the past few years, she had had to bear with much gossip and despise from others, simply because she was
his illegitimate child.
When Natalie revealed she was, in fact, not Harrison's illegitimate child, she freaked out as that meant all the
sufferings she had endured were pointless and unnecessary!
