Of course, that conjecture might be true. However, Shane was worried that the helicopter might have stopped at a

particular island that night yet took off again after refueling.

But no matter what, he still had to investigate those islands.

As his line of thought went in that direction, he contacted Silas via video call.

“Mr. Shane.” Silas' exhausted face appeared on the screen.

Shane knew that everyone hadn't been resting well in the past few days as they scrambled to find Natalie.

Guilt welled within him, but he couldn't allow them to stop either when she was still missing.

When I find Natalie, I'll do my best to compensate them!

“Investigate all the islands in the waters of Nalanica. Compile all the information and send everything to me

regardless of whether they're inhabited,” Shane ordered in a deep voice, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Silas' eyes went as wide as saucers. “You suspect that madam is on one of the islands, Mr. Shane?”

“That's the lead given by the military, but it still bears confirmation whether that is indeed the case. I can't stop

here either. I've got to locate the helicopter,” Shane replied solemnly.

In response, Silas nodded. “Got it. I'll compile all the information right away. However...”

“What is it?” Shane's eyes narrowed a fraction.

Sighing, Silas explained, “That ocean is exceedingly vast, and its center is perpetually shrouded in fog all year long,

so it's easy to lose one's direction. As a result, the number of islands there is uncertain. Not all are currently

indicated on the world map because some aren't even detectable by satellites. Hence, I might miss something even

if I collect all available information.”

When Shane heard that, the crease of his brows deepened.

In merely seconds, they smoothed out, and he murmured, “Got it. Just compile the information first. We'll speak

about the rest later.”

“Will do.”

After ending the video call, Shane shut the lid of his laptop and closed his eyes wearily.

Where are you, Natalie?

On the island, Natalie was still sitting on the floor when someone knocked on the door behind her. The

housekeeper's voice then drifted over. “It's time for dinner, madam.”

Natalie shifted and finally lifted her head. Her eyes were red-rimmed, making it evident that she had been crying.

Needless to say, she was petrified to be on the remote island all alone while dealing with Sean's threats and

Jacqueline's schemes.

Ultimately, she was but a weak woman. It was difficult for her to keep her tears at bay upon encountering such an

incident.

“No, thanks!” Natalie answered in a slightly hoarse voice, getting to her feet and wiping the tears from the corners

of her eyes.

Nonetheless, the housekeeper didn't give up. “Sir said that he's going to come up and escort you downstairs

personally if you don't wish to eat.”

“What?” Natalie's expression darkened in a flash.

He actually said that?

With her face as black as thunder, Natalie stormed toward the door.

I don't want him to come up and escort me personally! Who knows what that sicko is going to do?

When she swung the door open, the housekeeper bowed a fraction and flashed her a smile. “Madam!”

“Don't call me that!” Natalie warned, her expression chilly.

In the beginning, she assumed that the housekeeper was only addressing her as “madam” because she saw the

ring on her finger.

Right then, however, she knew that it wasn't the case.

Instead, the address of “madam” referred to Sean's wife.

At the thought of the man instructing the housekeeper to address her thus, abject repugnance inundated her.

The housekeeper remained smiling. “I'm sorry, madam, but Sir was the one who ordered me to address you thus. If

you don't like this address, you can discuss it with him. I can't arbitrarily change the address he decided upon.”

After all, she was being paid by the man.

Comprehending her thoughts, Natalie was incensed, yet she couldn't do anything.

Indeed, the housekeeper only listened to Sean and had no obligation to obey her.

Left with no other choice, she could only give up and stalk down the stairs.

In the dining room, Sean and Jacqueline were already seated.

Hearing the footsteps, they swung their gazes over.

The moment Sean caught sight of Natalie, wonder shone in his eyes.
