CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake Chapter 1578

Chapter 1578Natalie flicked her hair back. “Forget it. No matter what, it was an experience that I prefer to keep in my
memories even though it was when I first met Shane.”
She couldn't help but heave a sigh.
Back then, she had agreed to Jasmine's request to accompany an elderly man in his fifties just to save
Jared.
Although the man turned out to be Shane in the end, that was still the darkest moment of her life.
It was pure luck that Shane had taken the elderly man's place.
If she hadn't gone to the wrong room or slept with someone else other than Shane, it would have still
been a nightmare for her.
Natalie tried her best to put the incident out of her mind, knowing that if it hadn't been for Shane, she
might have been subjected to something unimaginable.
Taking in Natalie's grim expression, Lina was able to instantly tell that something had gone wrong back
then. She nodded and flashed a smile. “All right, I will not press you for any further details if you don't
wish to share them.”
“Thanks, Lina,” Natalie responded with a forced smile.
Lina gave a dismissive wave. “There is no need for you to thank me. It was my mistake for bringing up
the distressing incident. You have every right to be angry with me. Why are you thanking me instead?” Natalie flashed a smile and said nothing else.

“Yes,” Natalie replied. “Living her life as a raving lunatic for the rest of her life is the best form of
punishment for her.”
Lina pursed her lips and remarked, “You and Mr. Thompson are generous people. If I were in your
shoes, I wouldn't spend money on taking care of a lunatic.”
Natalie chuckled lightly. “Shane and I aren't taking care of her. We're confining her.”
“I still think you're taking care of her. If I were you, I'd kick her out and let her survive on her own. She
can cause trouble to society if she wants,” Lina said. Then a thought crossed her mind, and she looked
at Natalie. “Say, Nat, Joyce mentioned that she has a little brother. How is he doing now?”
Natalie thought over her question. “I recall Shane mentioning that he was adopted, and he is doing very
well now. Even though it was unfortunate that he was born as Susan's son, he is still innocent. Neither
Shane nor I held him accountable for the misdeeds of his parents.”
“Yeah. He's a child after all, and he did nothing wrong,” Lina agreed.
Natalie opened the can of coffee she was holding. “Yes. That's precisely why Shane and I won't take
action against the child. We sent him to the orphanage and told the director to find him a suitable
adoptive family. A while ago, Shane sent his men to check on the child, and he seemed to be doing
well. The child is doing remarkably well in his new home and looks more content than when he hadbeen with Susan and Warren. His adoptive family is taking very good care of him.”
“Are you saying that the boy's parents didn't take good care of him?”
Natalie shook her head. “I definitely did not notice Susan and Warren mistreating him, but it was highly
improbable that they could provide him with proper education as they were evil beings. He was an
incredibly quiet and timid child in their presence. Shane's subordinate said that he now seems to be
content and is frequently seen smiling in the presence of his new family.”
“Susan and Warren should thank you. Otherwise, their son wouldn't have gotten to lead a new life,”
Lina replied with a regretful sigh.
Natalie's lips curled up. “I don't want their gratitude. Susan is dead, and I don't want her to appear in
my dreams. I am not particularly close with Warren, so it is unlikely that we will come into contact after
he is discharged from prison. All right, let's stop talking about them. We're arriving at the villa soon.”
