“Out of immediate danger? Does that mean Mrs. Wilson has been in a critical condition?” Natalie balled up her fists.
“Shane, what exactly happened to her? Has she fallen sick or something?”
Shane's expression hardened, and his gaze was as cold as ice. “She was pushed down the stairs and was severely
injured. That's why she's in the hospital now.”
“What?” Natalie's eyes widened. “How did it happen?”
“Someone broke into the Thompson villa last night and rummaged around our bedroom and study, looking for
something but to no avail. The man went downstairs and bumped into Mrs. Wilson as she was going upstairs, and
he pushed her down. Fortunately, she had only climbed up a few steps, or else she would have been killed given her
old age,” Shane answered.
The woman bit her lip. “How severe are her injuries?”
“Her back was hurt, and she hit her head. Other than that, she's fine. The man was in a hurry to make a run for it,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso he did not murder Mrs. Wilson. Fortunately, shortly after she was knocked out, the security guard saw that the
door was open, so he came in to check if everything was fine. He found Mrs. Wilson unconscious and sent her to
the hospital. Since her phone was not with her, the security guard could not get in touch with me, so he called the
company and the manager contacted me.”
“I see...” Knowing that Mrs. Wilson was not gravely injured, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The two children felt relieved as well.
“Was it Sean's man?” she asked while looking at the man.
His lips were pressed into a hard line. “Yes. After Mrs. Wilson woke up, the manager sent people to the Thompson
villa to look into the matter and check if the man had stolen anything. No valuables were missing, but a lot of Wells
Properties' information had been taken away. I guess Sean had sent someone to search for the share transfer
agreement of Wells Properties.”
Since he was out of the country, Sean had seized this golden opportunity to break into the villa.
“He's quite relentless.” Natalie snickered.
“I need to go back,” Shane said.
The woman nodded in agreement. “Sure. Please check on Mrs. Wilson.”
“I will.” He pulled her into a hug. “I'll be back soon.”
Resting her chin on his shoulder, she mumbled gently, “Okay, I'll wait for you.”
That very night, Shane left.
This time, he had asked Silas to stay instead of bringing him along.
Because of that, Sally was really grateful to Shane, as though he were a god.
Natalie burst into fits of giggles at her reaction.
Soon, Silas came into the villa and interrupted the three women's chitter-chatter. “Madam, the police have replied.”
Natalie quickly turned to look at him. “What did they say?”
“They've done Annette's record and discovered that many who took part in the same competition as her previously
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad allergic reactions as well. The police contacted those designers and found they had never eaten or touched any
allergens. Hence, the police suspect that Annette had used the same powder against them.”
“Hah! She's actually a repeat offender,” Lina scoffed. “Well, she wouldn't have been so calm if that had been her
first time doing it. She must have done it before, but she covered it up so perfectly that no one ever caught her.”
“Did those designers suffer from other symptoms?” Natalie turned to glance at Silas.
The latter nodded. “Yes, one of them had a respiratory infection. He made it to the hospital in time, but his limbs
became so stiff that he could no longer draw any design drafts and make clothes.”
“What? So his career is ruined?” Lina was taken aback.
Silas sighed. “Yes.”
“Damn Annette! She's such a b*tch!” Lina's face reddened in rage.
Natalie patted her hand to calm her down before turning to look at Silas. “Did Annette plead guilty to these
offenses?”
“Not yet. I rushed over to inform you right after the police found out about it just now. However, there's solid
evidence, so there's no way she can deny it. She's doomed.”
