Sebastian had been deliberately avoiding the question.
He had already conspired with others and fooled her once.
Besides, Sebastian was an effortless actor. She couldn't tell whether he was lying or not. The man always had a straight face and effortlessly masked his emotions.
“What?” Sebastian couldn't understand what she was insinuating.
Tanet forced a smile at him. She had to be patient. She would wait until Sebastian exposed himself.
“Nothing. | was just joking. I'm going to take a shower.” She pursed her lips and pushed Sebastian away from her.
It didn’t matter if he didn’t admit the truth. Natalie planned to pay close attention to Sebastian and Brandon in the future.She was determined to find the truth.
After taking a shower, Natalie came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her wet hair.She pulled the towel off her head and started drying her wet hair.Her cheeks were slightly ruddy from the steamy bathroom, which made her look like a plump pink peach.Her eyelashes were wet and slightly plastered together, giving her eyes a doe-like effect.
As he looked at her, Sebastian couldn't help but be reminded of a wild cat he had once seen on the roadside on a rainy day. That little wild cat had the exact same wide, doe-like eyes.
Just then, he noticed that Natalie was observing him as well.Sebastian frowned slightly.
Under her piercing gaze, he felt as though she was trying to see right through his soul.
‘I wonder what's on her mind?’ he thought to himself.
Sebastian leaned back into the sofa and looked back at her calmly.
Finally, he said in a low voice, “Don’t beat around the bush and go straight to the point.” He was always this casual and blunt, but his sudden seriousness still made Natalie's hair stand on end.
“It's nothing.Just focus on your game.” Natalie guiltily averted her gaze and retreated to her bedroom, all the while still drying her hair.
But before she went inside, she turned around to glance back at Sebastian.
It seemed that she couldn't take her eyes off of his hip.
‘Oh, my God.His buttocks are so round!” Natalie thought inwardly.
Just as she was about to enter the room, Sebastian's deep voice interrupted her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I forgot to ask-did you want to go somewhere for our honeymoon?” Life tended to become dry and monotonous at times.
Sebastian reasoned that they needed to spice things up from time to time.
Moreover, he wanted to make things up to Natalie and give her all the best things in the world.
Natalie hesitated slightly.She thought that it was a good idea, but she had just gotten back on track at work, so she couldn't take a leave anytime soon.
“No, thanks.I'm so busy with work these days, so | don't think | have the time to go on a trip.” As she spoke, Sebastian was gazing at the dark night from the window. Then, he closed his eyes and pressed his fingers against his temple. It was the first time that he couldn't figure out what was on Natalie’s mind.
He had already taken care of everything.
Had he done anything wrong? At ten o'clock that evening, the subordinate Sebastian tasked with investigating the fraud group
texted.
It turned out that they had found the mastermind behind it all.
To Sebastian's surprise, it was an “acquaintance”.
“We've garnered nearly all the information from the fraud group themselves. It turned out that Lauren sought out their boss around a month ago.She gave him a large sum of money and asked him to look for Hannah.He’s a swindler, so it wasn't a big deal for him to deceive one more person.Moreover, he could've gotten more money from the deal, so he agreed to Lauren's request.Lauren also suggested that he harass Hannah for the money, but when they saw how old and weak she was, they showed her mercy.” After reading the message, Sebastian tossed his phone aside and tinkered with an empty can of beer in silence.He walked over to the balcony and rested his arms on the railing.
Wearing loose pajamas, he looked slimmer and less muscular than he actually was.So, it turned out that the Quinn family had struck Hannah because they couldn't seem to touch Natalie.
By targeting Hannah, they could destroy Natalie. They were playing with fire.
Sebastian sneered coldly into the night. He was not a forgiving man.
Plus, Natalie had severed all ties with the Quinn family.
There was no need to be polite to strangers.
The next second, he grabbed his phone and made a call.
“The Quinn family has been living way too comfortably lately.” Sebastian fiddled with the pull tab on the can.
His cold voice seemed to pierce the darkness of the night.

His cold voice seemed to pierce the darkness of the night.
Lauren had hired a criminal last time to rape Natalie. However, her plan was exposed and ruined.Since then, she couldn't find a chance to vent her anger.Later, after a lot of thinking, she devised this scheme.She was determined to take revenge this time.
The Quinn family had raised Natalie.But now, the dog was going to ride on its master.She couldn't let that happen.
However, the previous experience had taught her a lesson.Lauren restrained her emotions now.She had others to execute the plan now and was sure no one would find out she was the mastermind.
When Lauren heard the news that the fraudsters had caused trouble in Natalie’s company, she was ecstatic.
After all, the men were dangerous people. They were all experienced enforcers who would go to any extent for money.
Even if the crisis couldn't destroy Natalie, it would definitely ruin her life and reputation.
Lauren hated how Natalie had her way with everything by putting on an innocent face.She felt the woman was a master at faking innocence.She behaved as if she were on a mission to let the entire world know that the Quinn family had ill-treated her.
‘Now, everyone could see through her pretense. This conniving bitch would lose her foothold in the Larson Group. That's for sure’ A triumphant smile emerged on Lauren's face as she thought her plan had succeeded this time.She didn’t want to contact the fraudsters.
The less she got involved in the matter, the better.
One day, she saw the news on TV that the police had launched a crackdown on several fraud groups.
Although Lauren was not sure if it included the fraud group she
had hired, dread and unease settled in the pit of her stomach.
The fear was eating her up.
All of a sudden, Lauren recalled what had happened to the last man she hired.She broke into a cold sweat and began squirming with fear.
Lauren abandoned her previous plan and called the fraud group.The phone rang, but no one answered.
Finally, she sensed something was wrong and slumped on the sofa helplessly.George flipped the pages of the newspaper and muttered, “The fraud groups are rampant now.They deserve it,” he said, looking at Lauren.
Seeing the dread on her pallid face, he arched an eyebrow and asked, “Did you do anything wrong again?” As soon as George finished speaking, his phone rang.
“Hello.What can | do for you?” George asked respectfully.
After all, he was talking to a powerful man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA shiver ran down Lauren’s spine as she looked at George.
“What? No.But everything went on well. Why have you decided to withdraw the investment? We reached an agreement before, didn't we?” George licked his lips and wiped the sweat on his face.
Then, he put down the newspaper and leaned back on the sofa.
George had worked so hard to reach the refinancing agreement.
With this money, he could reopen the abandoned plastic factory and hopefully gradually get the family business back on track.
He heard a soft sigh from the other end of the line.
“Anyway, we haven't signed the contract yet. You better take care of your business.Please don't come to us again in the future.” With that, the man hung up the phone.
Judging from his resolute tone, George understood the man had made up his mind.
George was pacing back and forth in the living room when his phone rang again.
Another company had also called to cancel their partnership.
George could tell that they were all in a hurry to cut ties with his ccompany.His stomach churned with anxiety.
The relentless phone calls turned his throat dry, but all his efforts were in vain.He couldn't convince them.
The phone calls continued; Bemie grew anxious and worried with every passing moment.
The partnering companies were willing to even pay a high penalty fee to distance themselves from the Quinn family.
George's face turned ashen pale as he continued to wipe his
sweat in despair.
George had been a part of the business circle for several years.
His father had laid the foundation for the company in the early years.
Now, the technological advancement and change in trends worsened the situation of his company.
However, George was sure that wasn't the reason why his partners had chosen to abandon him.
“We've been friends for so many years.Can you at least tell me what happened?” George's voice trembled.
“I'm sorry, but ! can’t.He is a powerful man.But | don't understand.
‘You two are not supposed to have any interaction.Well, | suggest you reflect on your actions.Have you offended anyone lately?” said the man on the phone.
George couldn't think of anyone except for a few influential families that would ruin the lives of the people who rubbed them the wrong way. But George didn’t remember offending any one of them.
