“I like how straightforward you are.” Sean patted his thigh before putting on a straight face. “What about the will? Did you find it?”
“No.” Natalie shook her head before adding, “But I found some clues.”
“Oh?” Sean raised a brow. “You didn’t have any clues half a month ago. Why do you have it now?”
Natalie knew he was trying to sound her out. Coolly, she met his gaze. “You told me you’d harm my loved ones if I couldn’t find anything. I care for my kids the most, so I dug these clues out.”
“That makes sense. Tell me. How did you get the clues?” Sean gazed at her, seemingly interested. He was no longer desperate to know the clues.
Natalie placed the wineglass down. “Easy. I bought some sleeping pills a few days ago and placed two pills in Shane’s cup. When he was in a daze, I asked him where his grandpa was most likely to hide something. Or somewhere where he’d want to go.”
“Just like that?” Sean narrowed his gaze.
Natalie inclined her head and took out a note from her bag. She placed it on the table before pushing it in Sean’s direction. “Here are a few locations I found. The first few are most likely where the will could be hidden, but I don’t think it’s hidden in those places.”
“How so?” Sean glanced at the locations.
Natalie explained, “Because it’s too easy. Those who know David well would guess it easily. I believe you’ve been to those places, too.”
Sean’s lips curved up as he kept silent.
I knew it. Natalie immediately pointed at the few other locations. “The other few are where David wanted to go most. His will is most probably there. If he hadn’t hidden it at the places where he frequented, it would most probably be hidden where he wanted to visit the most.”
Sean’s expression turned grim at her narration.
Indeed, if he were in his grandfather’s shoes, that was what he’d do.
