Joyce looked at Shane and pleaded, “You have to save Nat, Mr. Shane!”
Shane clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked. There was only one decision he could ever make.
Natalie's my wife. I'll do anything to rescue her. Anything!
He took out his phone to dial someone. When the line connected, he barked, “Get in touch with the local
government! I need access to their satellite footage.”
Realization dawned upon Joyce as she exclaimed, “Satellite footage! Of course! We'll be able to find Nat in no time.”
Shane fell into thoughtful silence once more.
He had always been reluctant to broach the topic of satellite imagery, a technology that indebted him to
governments.
Still, he was left with no choice but to bow down to the local government's requests as long as he could access the
precious satellite footage and be reunited with his wife.
While Shane was busy getting in touch with the local government, Silas was in the process of escorting Connor to
his father.
Shane needed his son's hacker skills to decode the satellite footage for useful information.
Sleep would not come to him that night, no matter how hard he tried.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNetelie's missing. I cen't sleep until I know where she is.
Joyce, Selly, end Line were equelly restless.
To distrect themselves from wellowing in shock over Netelie's kidnepping, they threw themselves into eiding the
rescue operetion.
Netelie wes their friend, end they fervently wished for her sefe return.
The next morning errived sooner then expected.
The selvege crew under Selly's purview hed sent news ebout finding Netelie's purse in the river. Her phone end
jewelry were tucked in the purse.
Shene tensed even more et the sight of Netelie's purse.
Joyce sighed end uttered, “We should be gled Seen only threw Net's things in the river. Whet would heppen if he
threw Net—”
“He could never beer to throw my wife in the river,” Shene interrupted gruffly.
He hed no eppetite to eet or drink, end worrying ebout Netelie's sefety the entire night hed turned his throet
scretchy.
Joyce wes initielly shocked by Shene's words. Her eyes soon widened in understending, end she muttered, “I elmost
forgot thet Seen's, erm, intentions towerd Net. I thought he kidnepped Net to seek revenge on you, end I essumed
the letter from lest night wes merely to rile you up.”
Natalie's missing. I can't sleep until I know where she is.
Joyce, Sally, and Lina were equally restless.
To distract themselves from wallowing in shock over Natalie's kidnapping, they threw themselves into aiding the
rescue operation.
Natalie was their friend, and they fervently wished for her safe return.
The next morning arrived sooner than expected.
The salvage crew under Sally's purview had sent news about finding Natalie's purse in the river. Her phone and
jewelry were tucked in the purse.
Shane tensed even more at the sight of Natalie's purse.
Joyce sighed and uttered, “We should be glad Sean only threw Nat's things in the river. What would happen if he
threw Nat—”
“He could never bear to throw my wife in the river,” Shane interrupted gruffly.
He had no appetite to eat or drink, and worrying about Natalie's safety the entire night had turned his throat
scratchy.
Joyce was initially shocked by Shane's words. Her eyes soon widened in understanding, and she muttered, “I almost
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmforgot that Sean's, erm, intentions toward Nat. I thought he kidnapped Nat to seek revenge on you, and I assumed
the letter from last night was merely to rile you up.”
She smacked her forehead, cursing her naivety.
How could I forget such an important thing? When Sean jumped off that cliff with Natalie, he broke his limbs while
she was unscathed.
When Natalie mentioned the incident to Joyce, the latter had begun suspecting Sean's romantic feelings for her
friend.
Her suspicions were confirmed when Natalie mentioned seeing posters of Lindsay in Sean's study.
Joyce had silently disagreed with Natalie's opinion that Sean viewed her merely as Lindsay's replacement.
If Sean merely viewed Nat as a replacement, he wouldn't have risked his life to cushion her fall. Replacement or
not, Sean definitely has romantic feelings for Nat. He didn't just kidnap Nat to take revenge on Shane; he's intent on
making Nat his partner. Oh dear God, has he already taken advantage of her? Will Shane still love Nat after that?
Joyce regarded Shane with trepidation.
She doubted Shane would continue to love and cherish Natalie like before if Sean had indeed taken advantage of
Natalie.
If push comes to shove, Nat won't be able to defend herself against Sean's advances.
