Sean let go of Jacqueline right when she thought that he would choke her to death.
Her body went limp and she fell onto the floor. With her hands around her neck, the woman coughed and panted
for air.
She only realized that she had narrowly escaped death when air finally filled her lungs.
Sean crouched down and patted Jacqueline's face a few times before saying, “You better be more respectful when
you talk to me next time. Otherwise, I'm going to send you off to Shane even if I don't kill you with my own hands.
Then, I'll tell him that you're the second murderer of his parents. What do you think would happen then?”
The woman trembled upon hearing his words. “No! Don't send me to Shane!”
He narrowed his eyes in amusement. “That's why you should behave yourself. Listen to what I have to say and do
what I tell you to. Do you understand? A dog should behave like a dog.”
Jacqueline lowered her gaze to hide the hatred in her eyes. Nodding her head, she said, “I understand. I'll be good.”
“Great,” Sean said as he moved his hand away from her. Then, he stood up and headed outside.
His assistant was waiting for him. At the sight of him coming out, he quickly handed him a wet towel.
Sean took the towel and wiped his hands that had touched Jacqueline earlier.
His assistant walked behind him and said, “Are we really going to keep that woman, Mr. Thompson? She's no
ordinary woman. It's too dangerous to keep someone like her when she's killed someone at such a young age. It's
going to be troublesome if she betrays us one day.”

don't worry. I'll control her so that she won't be able to betray us. I'm going to kill her right after she finishes the
work I assign her to get revenge for Lindsay,” Sean said as he tossed the wet towel back to his assistant.
The latter had no choice but to keep quiet after hearing what was said.
“Have you heard where Shane stashed the shares for Wells Properties yet?” Sean asked as he stuffed his hands into
his pockets.
“No,” the assistant said while shaking his head. “But he has already publicly announced that you're the chairman
for Wells Properties. He also wants you to return to sign the equity transfer agreement.”
“Hah! Sign the equity transfer agreement? He just wants me to deliver myself right into his hands,” the man
scoffed.
After hesitating for a moment, the assistant finally said, “Why are you so persistent about getting Wells Properties,
Mr. Thompson? It's not even a big company, and it can't be compared to Thompson Group. Why don't you just aim
for Thompson Group instead?”
Sean lowered his eyes and said, “You don't understand. Wells Properties has a different meaning to me. Lindsay left
it to me.”
The gentle and kind woman was the one who made him feel a mother's love.
She was someone he could never forget.
His assistant's eyes widened a little when he saw the longing and loving look in Sean's eyes.
Mr. Thompson is...
He gulped and dared not continue the thought as he quickly lowered his head.
Meanwhile, Shane rushed back to Natalie the moment he was done with his meeting.
He took her in his arms and hugged her tightly once he stepped into the villa. Then, after studying her for a
moment, he asked, “Are you okay?”
The woman knew what he was talking about, and she quickly nodded. “I'm fine. Luckily Silas got there just in time.
Don't worry. Everything is fine.”
Shane pursed his lips and pressed her face against his chest, letting her hear just how fast his heart was beating.
He felt as though his heart was about to escape his chest when he heard that Sean had thrown Natalie into the
lake.
Fortunately, Silas had told him that she was saved in the end.
He had a feeling he would have gone crazy otherwise.
Natalie stayed in his embrace quietly. She smiled when she felt how scared the man was. “I'm sorry. I made you
worry again.”
“I should be the one apologizing. I dragged you into my life and got you into all this danger,” Shane said as he
stroked her hair.
