“Yes, Mr. Shane? What happened seven years ago?” Natalie’s curiosity was piqued.

He stole a glance at her, then stared at the cell phone on the table and coldly uttered, “Seven years ago, he spread rumors about you eloping with a man so that Jasmine can take your place and be engaged to me.”

“What?” Natalie grabbed the phone and yelled into it, “Harrison Smith! So you are the one who tarnished my reputation seven years ago. How could you be so mean? What have I done to deserve a dad like you?” She was visibly emotional.

Harrison kept quiet. He could not answer her accusation. A deep sense of fear overcame him.

If Shane knew about this, could he also know about the incident five years ago, whereby Jas took credit for Natalie’s efforts? If he did, what will happen to us?

Natalie was not aware of Harrison’s thoughts and worry. She took his silence as a sign of guilt over what he did to her. “Harrison Smith, I will not forget what you did to me. You will get your retribution. Just wait and see,” she warned.

With that, she hung up on him and flung the phone onto the sofa. She sat there and lowered her head as she was washed over in depression.

“Are you alright?” Shane asked with concern as he handed her a piece of tissue.

Natalie’s eyes were red from crying. She took the tissue and dried her tears. “I am fine. I am just thinking, why did I not see his true colors seven years ago?”
