CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1665

Should Shane disclose it to Natalie, she might lose the competition and even give up on her career as a result.

Her previous loss in the competition had already caused Lina to miss out on winning the first prize in the international competition.

If her performance in the competition were affected by external factors again, causing another victory to slip through Lina's fingers, Natalie would be overtaken by guilt and give up on her career.

As such, Shane decided not to tell her anything.

Seeing that he insisted on keeping quiet even though something was clearly bothering him, Natalie let out a deep sigh and expressed her concern. “You're making me more anxious by behaving like this.”

Shane reached out to ruffle her hair. “I'm fine, really. It's nothing major, and I can handle it from here. Don't read too much into it. Trust me.”

He gazed at her in all seriousness.

Natalie felt her heart skip a beat and slowly calmed down. “I trust you.”

“Good. It's late, so let's head to bed now.”

With that, Shane took her hand and led her to their bedroom.

As Natalie studied his side profile, she parted her lips, seemingly intending to say something. In the

end, however, she decided against it and said nothing.

Right after entering their bedroom, she went to take a shower.

When she held Anders earlier, he had spat out some milk, staining her top and making it smell of milk.

That was why she was in a hurry to wash up.

After Natalie disappeared into the bathroom, Shane settled on the couch. Holding a glass of red wine, he fell into deep thought once again.

A while later, he suddenly pulled out his phone to call Silas. When the call was connected, he relayed the information he had received earlier from Stanley.

Silas gasped in disbelief after he heard everything. “Mr. Thompson, is that true?”

“I'm not entirely sure, but I do know Stanley well enough to believe that he wouldn't joke about something this serious, so it's likely true. However, I can't be certain if Sean has lied to Stanley,” Shane said honestly.

Silas adjusted the glasses on his nose. “Regardless of whether Sean was telling the truth, he's downright evil for involving Madam and using her as a means of threatening you. He claims to love Madam, but how is this loving her?”

Isn't loving someone all about treating them well and ensuring their happiness? It's baffling how Sean claims to love Madam but is willing to involve her in danger and risk her life like this. Sean doesn't deserve to love anyone.

Shane sneered. “He does love Natalie, but he loves himself more. That's why he can bring himself to involve her in this and use her to achieve his goals.”

“Ha! In short, he's extremely selfish,” Silas commented as his lips curled.

“That's enough. I need you to think of a way to dispatch more of our men here. Also, get the weapons ready,” Shane ordered in a cold tone, narrowing his eyes.

Since it's the final battle, I ought to prepare weapons. This time, I must kill Sean.

Natalie and the children were the most precious to him; he would never allow them to be harmed.

Yet, Sean was bold enough to cross the line. In that case, Shane would not hesitate to kill him. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Besides, he did not want Natalie and the children to live in danger.

The only way to ensure their safety was to get rid of Sean entirely.

At the sound of Shane's order, Silas' expression grew solemn. “Got it, Mr. Thompson. I'll make the arrangements right now. Don't worry. Sean will never succeed.”

Shane grunted in acknowledgment.

He then chatted with Silas about something else before ending the call.

The reason he did so was that he noticed the water was no longer running in the bathroom. That meant

Natalie was done with her shower and would come out anytime soon.

Had he continued the conversation with Silas, she might have overheard it and gotten affected emotionally.

Shane wanted to solve the problem himself without involving her.

Of course, he would not let Sean succeed in abducting her.

The fight was between him and Sean, so he refused to involve anyone else, especially those close to him.
