Hearing that, Natalie nodded in acknowledgment. “I know. He's presently in the villa.”
“Well, his helicopter is also on the island,” Shane added.
Sean's helicopter flew to the island from another direction, so the fact that they were already a near distance away
went unnoticed.
Surprise inundated Natalie at his remark. “What? His helicopter is still here? In other words, he's still leaving in a
while?”
After all, the helicopter usually left the island right away after flying Sean back if the man wasn't leaving again.
This time, however, the helicopter was still there though he had been back for a long time.
In response, Shane pursed his lips. “I'm not sure for the time being, but the possibility of that is high.”
“Then, I'll figure out a way to delay him. I definitely won't allow him to leave,” Natalie offered.
“No, it's okay. Don't do anything. What if you get injured in the process? Even if that doesn't happen, you might
possibly set off some alarm bells. It's better to just let things unfold by themselves,” Shane objected.
Natalie bit her lip. “But he'll escape then!”
“That doesn't matter. You're my only concern right now. Nothing matters as long as you remain safe and sound. We
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcan still get him in the future,” Shane asserted solemnly.
At his words, a wealth of warmth suffused Natalie. “Shane-”
“Sean has made an appearance, so keep silent first.” Shane's voice abruptly turned somber.
Natalie instantly shut her mouth and snagged the bee, stuffing it into her pocket. Then, she dipped her head and
looked down.
Right that moment, Sean was heading toward the helipad.
Seemingly sensing her gaze, he halted in his tracks and looked up in her direction. Their gazes locked.
Subsequently, he flashed her a smile.
Conversely, Natalie pressed her red lips into a thin line. She whirled around and strode straight back into her room,
disdaining him to the core.
Sean's eyes narrowed, but he didn't fly into a rage. Instead, he continued walking toward the helipad.
In the room, Natalie took the bee out.
The bee rose into the air once more, its head turning this way and that incessantly.
She knew that Shane was surveying her room.
Shortly after, the bee's head stopped rotating. Shane then inquired, “This is where you've been staying?”
“Yup.” Natalie nodded in affirmation.
Grunting in acknowledgment, Shane replied, “That's good.”
It seems that he hasn't been maltreating her. In that case, I can finally rest easy.
“Oh yes, did Sean see you just now?” Shane queried.
Natalie nodded. “Yeah, he did. However, we didn't converse with each other. He seems to have headed toward the
helipad.”
“I know. He has already gotten into the helicopter and is about to leave. The moment he's gone, I'll come over
immediately,” Shane promised, his eyes narrowed into slits.
All at once, Natalie's heart skipped a beat, both in excitement and exhilaration.
At the same time, a trace of regret lingered within her. “But he'll be gone.”
“It's okay. Jacqueline is still here!” Shane's voice was as cold as ice.
Compared to Sean, Jacqueline was even more of a threat, for she wasn't only the other culprit who murdered his
parents, but she also made a move against Natalie and his two children.
As such, she was far more treacherous than Sean.
It was also no exaggeration to say that his hatred toward her ran even deeper than his enmity toward Sean.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf I catch her, I can avenge my parents, Natalie, and our two children!
Natalie perceived the animosity in his voice, and her expression likewise darkened. “You're right. She's still here. It
won't be a trip made in vain if we deal with her first even if we can't get Sean.”
Shane hummed in response, seconding her statement.
In no time, Natalie heard the sound of rotor blades whirring and knew that Sean had left.
Taking a deep breath, she murmured, “Shane, I'll go down and take a look at the situation in the villa first.”
“All right, go ahead.”
Natalie placed the bee into her pocket again. Pushing the couch away, she opened the door and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Jacqueline was scrolling through her cell phone on the couch while the housekeeper was cleaning.
The two of them seemingly had no idea that danger was already close at hand.
Standing at the landing, Natalie stared at Jacqueline.
Very much perturbed by her stare, Jacqueline frowned and swung her gaze over. “What are you looking at?”
Natalie kept her lips pursed and said nothing.
A light bulb suddenly went off in Jacqueline's head, and the corners of her mouth turned up smugly. “Don't tell me
you're looking at my cell phone? You want to get your hands on it and contact Shane, no?”
