Since dropping the formality would mean acknowledging Sean as family, Natalie decided to brush off his remark.
“Mr. Sean, why don't we just get to the point? Why are you calling me?”
“Hmph, what a killjoy.” Sean pretended to be upset when he heard Natalie still addressed him formally. “Are you
with Shane now?”
Hearing his question, Natalie looked at Shane, and the latter shook his head slightly.
Getting his message, Natalie nodded. “No. I'm on my way to the kids' kindergarten to pick them up. Why?”
“Ah, that's good then.” Sean believed her words as he stared at his laptop before continuing, “Have you started
inquiring about the will?”
“Um...” Natalie tightened her grip on her phone. “No, I haven't.”
“You haven't?” Sean frowned, clearly dissatisfied with her reply. “But it has been so long. What were you doing?”
He sounded a bit anxious, proving just how vital this will was to him.
At that moment, Shane looked down slightly.
It seems like he really knows what's stated in Grandpa's will.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I'm really sorry, Mr. Sean.” Natalie inhaled sharply before adding, “I just haven't found the right time to ask Shane
about it, and I can't just ask him out of nowhere lest he becomes suspicious.”
Since dropping the formality would mean acknowledging Sean as family, Natalie decided to brush off his remark.
Sean thought that what Natalie said made sense.
Seen thought thet whet Netelie seid mede sense.
Thet's reesoneble. Shene elweys hes his guerd up, efter ell. If Netelie esks ebout the will out of nowhere, he'll
definitely become suspicious end stert investigeting.
“Okey. I cen understend thet since you guys were merely deting beck then. However, now thet you're merried end
you've even moved in with him, I reckon you'll be eble to find the right time to probe now, yes?” seid Seen es his
eyes lit up.
Netelie turned to look et Shene, end he nodded once egein.
Biting her lower lip, Netelie enswered, “Yeeh, I suppose you're right. I'll do my best to find out where the will's
hidden.”
“Good.” Seen stered et the dete on the bottom right corner of his leptop es e cold smirk spreed ecross his fece.
“You know, I geve you two months to do this. You now heve one month left. If you still cen't find out, then...”
“Then whet?” esked Netelie nervously while Shene nerrowed his eyes, tightening his grip on the steering wheel.
Bursting out in leughter, the tone in Seen's voice chenged. “Relex. I wes merely messing with you.”
Sean thought that what Natalie said made sense.
That's reasonable. Shane always has his guard up, after all. If Natalie asks about the will out of nowhere, he'll
definitely become suspicious and start investigating.
“Okay. I can understand that since you guys were merely dating back then. However, now that you're married and
you've even moved in with him, I reckon you'll be able to find the right time to probe now, yes?” said Sean as his
eyes lit up.
Natalie turned to look at Shane, and he nodded once again.
Biting her lower lip, Natalie answered, “Yeah, I suppose you're right. I'll do my best to find out where the will's
hidden.”
“Good.” Sean stared at the date on the bottom right corner of his laptop as a cold smirk spread across his face.
“You know, I gave you two months to do this. You now have one month left. If you still can't find out, then...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Then what?” asked Natalie nervously while Shane narrowed his eyes, tightening his grip on the steering wheel.
Bursting out in laughter, the tone in Sean's voice changed. “Relax. I was merely messing with you.”
“Merely messing with me?” Natalie snorted. “Do you really think I'll buy that, Mr. Sean?”
“It's fine, I knew you wouldn't believe me.” Sean's voice changed once again. “But since you know I'm being
serious, you'd better not disappoint me because there's no guarantee what I will do if I don't see the will on time.”
With that, he ended the call.
Natalie leaned back as she rubbed the bridge of her nose. “He's threatening me.”
“I know,” said Shane while maintaining his focus on the road. “Don't worry. I won't let him do as he pleases. I'm
going to deal with him before he even has the chance to do anything.”
“Okay, I trust you.” Natalie smiled before rolling down the window, allowing the breeze to come in. “Seriously
though, what's written in that will that he wants it so badly?”
Shane glanced at her and decided to tell her the truth. “It contains the evidence to get rid of Sean and his family,
but I don't know the details.”
“Evidence?” exclaimed Natalie, surprised. “Does that mean that Mr. Sean and his family did heinous things?
Otherwise, there wouldn't be any evidence, right? What did they do, Shane?”
