She stood up enthusiastically and pulled Natalie's arm.
Natalie was amused. “Slow down! Slow down!”
The two walked out of the room and headed toward the study.
Meanwhile, in J City, Shane received a mysterious letter. After opening the letter and
reading its contents, his expression instantly darkened.
Silas, who was sitting near him, asked curiously, “Mr. Thompson, what's wrong? Is there a
problem with the letter?”
Just now, the receptionist received a registered mail from the post office addressed to
Shane, so he asked Silas to go down and get it.
It was strange because not many people would send letters nowadays. Usually, only banks
would send their customers their cards through the mail.
People would communicate with one another through messages, videos, and emails.
Therefore, he was surprised when the receptionist said there was a letter for Shane.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was curious as to who had sent the letter, but there was no return address on the
envelope. Even more unusual, there was only a sender's address.
Now, seeing Shane's darkened expression after reading the letter, Silas became even
more certain that there was something wrong with the letter.
Shane glanced at Silas and passed him the letter. “Take a look for yourself.”
Silas got up and took the letter, lowering his head to read it.
When he finished reading, he was surprised. “It's from Sean.”
He was very familiar with the handwriting on the letter, and it was clearly Sean's.
After all, he had been by Shane's side for so many years, so he could recognize the
handwriting of the Thompson family members at a glance.
This letter was definitely from Sean.
Of course, what made him truly surprised was the contents of the letter.
It turned out it was Sean who told Stanley the whereabouts of the Rivers family. The spy
must have been one of Sean's subordinates.
When it came to the spy, he was quite pitiful. Someone hired him using a million, but he
didn't even get to report to Sean.
Therefore, he didn't even know who he was working for.
However, this also showed Sean was a cunning and intelligent person to arrange for other
people to act as the spy's handler. This way, not only could he gain information, but even
if the spy was eventually caught, he wouldn't be able to confess that it was Sean.
In the beginning, Shane and the others also suspected that the spy might be one of Sean's
people. However, they found almost no trace of Sean from the spy's information. Instead,
they even discovered some clues about Stanley meeting with the spy.
This led them to believe, that Stanley had arranged the spy without a doubt.
Stanley was fixated on finding the Rivers family. Since he was able to find their
whereabouts because one of Shane's people revealed it to him, coupled with the fact that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe spy had said he had met Stanley before, the possibility that Stanley was the spy's
handler was high.
In the end, they had guessed wrongly. The spy was actually Sean's man.
“Mr. Thompson, what do you think he meant by sending this letter to you? He even
revealed that he was the one who arranged the spy. Is he trying to provoke us?” Silas
passed the letter back to Shane.
Shane narrowed his eyes. “He's not just provoking me. He's challenging me.”
Silas was shocked. “Challenging you? Are you saying that Sean wants to have a showdown
with you?”
Shane lifted his chin. “I know him. That's exactly what he wants. It's always been like a
cat-and-mouse game between us. I've been chasing him, but he's been hiding. I can't
catch him, but he also doesn't dare to show himself in front of me. At first, he might have
thought that this game of chase was fun, but with his personality, he won't be able to play
it until the end. He'll get impatient and come out on his own. This letter is evidence of
that.”
