Natalie immediately glanced at the time on the bottom right of her computer screen and realized it was already
half past five. She patted her forehead in exasperation. “I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at the time, so I didn't know it's
this late.”
She took her phone and clicked on the screen several times, but the screen remained black. After plugging the
charger in, the screen finally lit up.
“Oh, no wonder your calls didn't get through. My phone ran out of battery,” Natalie giggled.
Shane kept his gaze fixed on her. “Joyce told me you were out of sorts the whole afternoon. What happened?”
Upon hearing his question, Natalie massaged her temples. “It's nothing. I happened to run into Mr. Sean at the
design department today.”
Shane's face clouded over instantly. “Did he mention the will again?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie gave a solemn nod before pouring everything out.
Shane balled up his fists at her narration.
Seeing his reaction, Natalie rose to her feet and went to take his hand. “Shane, what should we do? We know
nothing about it. The deadline is half a month away. If he can't find the will or at least a clue about the will, I'm
afraid he'll resort to despicable means.”
“It's fine.” Shane patted the back of her hand. “If he wants a clue, we shall give one to him.”
Natalie's eyes widened in incredulity. “Shane, have you found the will?”
“No, but we can create a diversion to confuse him,” Shane replied, his gaze flickering dangerously.
Biting her lip, Natalie voiced her concern. “Will that work? What if he finds out we are stringing him along and gets
angry at us?”
“Don't worry. He won't have a chance to do that.” Shane gave her a reassuring kiss on her forehead.
There was no way he would find the will in the next fifteen days, so the only way out was to create a diversion and
confuse Sean.
Sean would suspect the validity of the clue, but he would also believe it.
When Sean started searching for the will based on the fake clue, Shane would think of a way to stop Sean from
returning to J City.
Hearing the confidence in Shane's voice, Natalie relaxed visibly.
She leaned into his embrace and fell silent.
After a while, Shane released her. “Alright. Pack up now. It's time to pick the kids up.”
“Okay,” Natalie responded.
They held hands and walked out of her office to be greeted by teasing stares from the others.
A slight blush crept up Natalie's cheeks as she bade goodbye to Joyce and the others before leaving.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat night, Shane summoned Silas to the villa. They had an hour-long meeting in his study before Silas was told to
leave.
After Silas left, Shane briefed Natalie about the outcome of the meeting and the plan they came up with.
Natalie took note of everything carefully. Everything was set, and the only thing left to do now was to wait to meet
up with Sean half a month later.
In a blink of an eye, the stipulated deadline arrived.
This day, Natalie was enjoying her breakfast when her phone vibrated.
It was a text from Sean which read: 10 a.m. Golden Era Club, room 202.
Natalie bit her lip upon reading the text. “He's right on time. Half a month had passed.”
Shane was sitting across from her. He didn't read her text but immediately realized who it was. “Is it Sean?”
“Mm. He is asking me to meet him here.” Natalie showed him the text.
Shane read it swiftly before reminding her, “Bring two bodyguards along.”
“Alright.” Natalie nodded with a smile as she knew he was worried for her safety.
Shane sipped on his coffee before adding, “Sean must've sent his men to keep an eye on Golden Era Club. I can't
be there, so please be careful. If possible, don't leave the bodyguards. Call me if anything comes up.”
