Chapter 1772 Kidnapped
Upon hearing this, Shane's expression changed. “What? Her phone is turned off?”
“Yes.” Lina nodded and continued, “I find it suspicious that her phone is switched off. I'm
worried something might have happened to Nat. Mr. Shane, you should hurry...”
“I understand,” Shane immediately turned to the bodyguard behind him and instructed,
“Find the organizers and tell them to postpone the prize presentation for the winner. They
can arrange for an intermission. Everyone must be tired after watching the ceremony for
so long; I believe they'll be happy to hear this.”
“Understood.” The bodyguard responded, immediately setting off to carry out the order.
Shane turned to Lina and said, “Come with me.”
“Oh, okay.” She nodded blankly, then quickly caught up with him.
The two of them arrived at the restroom. Shane pointed at her and said, “You go in.”
Lina understood that he wanted her to help find Natalie. Hence, she quickly entered the
restroom and did as she was told.
However, after checking every compartment and continuously calling out Natalie's name,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe found no sign of the woman, nor did she hear any response. Her heart instantly sank
to the bottom, growing increasingly uneasy.
She's not in the bathroom and her phone is turned off. Where could she have gone? Has
she been kidnapped?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Lina startled herself. “No way...”
She swallowed hard, unable to believe what was happening.
At that moment, two women were gathered in front of the sink, chatting about lipstick.
Lina was initially uninterested in their conversation, but her eyes uncontrollably took a
glance. Her expression immediately became tense when she realized that it was Natalie's
lipstick.
The lipstick was a unique piece, specially custom-made by Shane for Natalie. As a result,
she could never mistake it.
Lina quickly stepped forward and snatched the lipstick from the two women. After a closer
examination, she confirmed it was indeed Natalie's lipstick. She inhaled deeply and
whispered, “We're in trouble!”
Ignoring the cursing and grumbling of the two women, she dashed out of the restroom and
shouted at Shane, who was on the phone. “Something's wrong! Nat might have been
taken away. This is the lipstick she left behind.”
She passed over the lipstick to him as she spoke.
Shane abruptly ended the call and took the lipstick. His usually steady hand was now
trembling slightly. A murderous aura seemed to envelop him, and his face was so ghastly
that it was frightening.
“Sean Thompson!” Shane gripped the lipstick tightly as if he was about to snap it in half.
Upon hearing this, Lina quickly asked, “Mr. Shane, are you saying that Nat was taken away
by Sean?”
The man didn't respond, but his meaning was clear - it was exactly as she had asked.
He and Sean were destined for a duel. He never knew when the latter would make his
move, so he was always on guard.
In fact, he even planned that if Sean did not take action for a long time, he would move
Natalie to a safe place after the awards ceremony. He would then initiate an attack on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSean.
Unexpectedly, Sean made the first move, and he chose today of all days to do so.
Had he known it would come to this, he wouldn't have waited so long. He could have sent
Natalie away immediately. As for the award ceremony, he could have used his authority to
postpone it indefinitely.
But after pondering it a few times, he ultimately chose not to do so.
His decision led to the occurrence of a situation he found most unbearable!
Suddenly, a wave of intense guilt and self-reproach washed over Shane, who abruptly
punched the wall beside him.
His knuckles hit with such force that they instantly broke the skin, causing blood to gush
forth. Even though his hand was so badly injured that it was violently trembling, he
seemed to feel no pain.
His eyes blazing red, as if ready to obliterate everything in sight.
I will not let Sean off so easily. I must end this life.
“Mr. Shane, your hand...” Lina noticed the man's hand was bleeding. She quickly pulled
out a handkerchief, intending to bandage it for him.
