“Did he do anything to you?” Shane asked.
Natalie felt a sense of guilt, recalling the scene where Sean pinned her down on the couch. She lowered her head, hoping she sounded nonchalant when she replied, “No.”
It was difficult to talk about Sean’s evil misconduct towards her.
Her plan would fail if Shane confronted Sean.
Shane couldn’t see her expression, so he was oblivious to her omittance. “That’s good then. Have you told him?”
“Yes, I did, and it seems he believed it. I guess he will be heading to Loang next,” Natalie replied sombrely.
Shane pressed his lips into a thin line. “All right. Leave the rest to me. I’ll make sure he won’t be returning to J City once he left.”
That night, Shane listed out the possible hiding places for the will and had Silas searched them. Nevertheless, they still couldn’t find it.
So he had Natalie lied to Sean to lure the latter out of J City. Then, Sam would have no protection, leaving him open to his attacks.
Shane tightened his grip on his phone and exuded a dangerous aura as he thought about what Sam had done to him.
Natalie caught Shane’s change of mood despite not looking at him. “Shane, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Shane’s eyes glinted and collected himself.
Natalie nodded. “That’s good. I’ll be hanging up then.”
“Sure.” Shane nodded.
Natalie placed her phone in the passenger seat as she continued driving towards the company.
Upon arriving, Joyce waved at her. “Nat, Lina’s here.”
Natalie smiled. “Got it.”
