Shane kept quiet after that.
I'm not about to help Joyce investigate it! This is her problem, and it has nothing to do with me! Besides, I'm not
even done with getting my own revenge!
With that in mind, Shane said, “I was at the court today. Sam's final trial has been brought forward to the 19th of
next month. According to the lawyer, he'll be sentenced to death.”
Natalie's eyes lit up upon hearing that. “Really? That's great!”
“It's indeed great news, but we have yet to find the second killer,” Shane said as he looked up at her.
I really want to bring my parents' killers to justice.
Having felt his intentions, Natalie gave him a squeeze on the finger and said, “Don't worry, we'll find the killer.”
Shane nodded with a smile and was about to say something when his phone rang.
He answered it immediately when he saw Silas' name on the caller ID.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Shane, I've caught a thief in your office! He was sent by Sean!” Silas reported angrily.
The look on Shane's face turned gloomy instantly, and an icy-cold aura emanated from his body. “What? A thief?”
Natalie stared at him in confusion and asked, “What thief?”
Shane ignored her question for the time being and pressed on with murderous intent in his eyes, “What did he
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsteal?”
“He didn't steal anything, or rather he hadn't managed to steal what he came for. However, I interrogated him, and
he confessed that Sean had sent him to steal an equity transfer agreement. I'm guessing it's the one for Well
Properties,” Silas replied.
There was no way Sean wouldn't know about Sam's arrest.
He was aware that Shane had found the will, so he knew that Shane was in possession of the equity transfer
agreement for Well Properties. However, he didn't dare show up in person as Shane would surely catch him if he
did.
As such, sending someone to steal the equity transfer agreement was the only way he could get his hands on it.
“I see...” Shane's lips curled into a cold grin as he said that.
I knew it! I deliberately put the word out that I had found the will just so I could bait Sean into making a move, but
things have been so quiet that I thought Sean had given up on it. Looks like he's still trying to get it, after all! What
secrets does Well Properties hold? Why did my mom give it to Sean, and why is Sean so obsessed with getting it?
He's not even that obsessed about Thompson Group!
“Wait for me in my office. I'll come right over!” Shane ordered coldly.
“Yes, sir!” Silas replied.
Shane then hung up the phone and turned toward Natalie as he explained, “Sean sent someone to steal the equity
transfer agreement for Well Properties from my office, but Silas caught him. I need to head over.” Natalie nodded.
“Go on, then.”
Shane gave her a pat on the head and glanced at the two kids playing with their toys on the hospital bed. “Just give
me a call if anything happens, and I'll come rushing right over.”
“Don't worry, we'll be fine!” Natalie said with a smile.
Shane put his phone away, lifted her chin, and gave her an aggressive kiss before leaving.
Natalie didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she rubbed her lips that were hurting from his kiss.
Shane drove all the way to Thompson Group and went straight to his office.
Silas was sitting on the sofa with a tied-up man kneeling next to him.
The man looked like he was in his thirties and was dressed in a Maintenance Department uniform. He was trembling
all over from fear as the door to the office opened and Shane stepped into the room.
Silas quickly stood up and greeted him, “Mr. Shane!”
Shane nodded at him in response before shifting his gaze toward the man in the Maintenance Department uniform.
“This is the thief?”
Silas nodded. “Yes. I came to retrieve a document left in your office and saw him rummaging through your drawers
and cabinets.”
The man kneeling on the ground lowered his head in response.
