Should Shane disclose it to Natalie, she might lose the competition and even give up on
her career as a result.
Her previous loss in the competition had already caused Lina to miss out on winning the
first prize in the international competition.
If her performance in the competition were affected by external factors again, causing
another victory to slip through Lina's fingers, Natalie would be overtaken by guilt and give
up on her career.
As such, Shane decided not to tell her anything.
Seeing that he insisted on keeping quiet even though something was clearly bothering
him, Natalie let out a deep sigh and expressed her concern. “You're making me more
anxious by behaving like this.”
Shane reached out to ruffle her hair. “I'm fine, really. It's nothing major, and I can handle it
from here. Don't read too much into it. Trust me.”
He gazed at her in all seriousness.
Natalie felt her heart skip a beat and slowly calmed down. “I trust you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Good. It's late, so let's head to bed now.”
With that, Shane took her hand and led her to their bedroom.
As Natalie studied his side profile, she parted her lips, seemingly intending to say
something. In the end, however, she decided against it and said nothing.
Right after entering their bedroom, she went to take a shower.
When she held Anders earlier, he had spat out some milk, staining her top and making it
smell of milk.
That was why she was in a hurry to wash up.
After Natalie disappeared into the bathroom, Shane settled on the couch. Holding a glass
of red wine, he fell into deep thought once again.
A while later, he suddenly pulled out his phone to call Silas. When the call was connected,
he relayed the information he had received earlier from Stanley.
Silas gasped in disbelief after he heard everything. “Mr. Thompson, is that true?”
“I'm not entirely sure, but I do know Stanley well enough to believe that he wouldn't joke
about something this serious, so it's likely true. However, I can't be certain if Sean has lied
to Stanley,” Shane said honestly.
Silas adjusted the glasses on his nose. “Regardless of whether Sean was telling the truth,
he's downright evil for involving Madam and using her as a means of threatening you. He
claims to love Madam, but how is this loving her?”
Isn't loving someone all about treating them well and ensuring their happiness? It's
baffling how Sean claims to love Madam but is willing to involve her in danger and risk her
life like this. Sean doesn't deserve to love anyone.
Shane sneered. “He does love Natalie, but he loves himself more. That's why he can bring
himself to involve her in this and use her to achieve his goals.”
“Ha! In short, he's extremely selfish,” Silas commented as his lips curled.
“That's enough. I need you to think of a way to dispatch more of our men here. Also, get
the weapons ready,” Shane ordered in a cold tone, narrowing his eyes.
Since it's the final battle, I ought to prepare weapons. This time, I must kill Sean.
Natalie and the children were the most precious to him; he would never allow them to be
harmed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYet, Sean was bold enough to cross the line. In that case, Shane would not hesitate to kill
him.
Besides, he did not want Natalie and the children to live in danger.
The only way to ensure their safety was to get rid of Sean entirely.
At the sound of Shane's order, Silas' expression grew solemn. “Got it, Mr. Thompson. I'll
make the arrangements right now. Don't worry. Sean will never succeed.”
Shane grunted in acknowledgment.
He then chatted with Silas about something else before ending the call.
The reason he did so was that he noticed the water was no longer running in the
bathroom. That meant Natalie was done with her shower and would come out anytime
soon.
Had he continued the conversation with Silas, she might have overheard it and gotten
affected emotionally.
Shane wanted to solve the problem himself without involving her.
Of course, he would not let Sean succeed in abducting her.
The fight was between him and Sean, so he refused to involve anyone else, especially
those close to him.
