Chapter 1707 For Her Sake
Indeed, she wanted to stay by Shane's side and go through the ups and downs together.
However, Shane wanted to send her away to prevent her from getting into danger.
It was all for the sake of each other, but they honestly couldn't accept each other's
kindness. The contradiction was the main reason for the conflict.
Natalie looked at Lina and asked, “So, do you have any ideas?”
Lina shrugged. “Yes, and it's quite simple. As you know, one of you two needs to take a
step back. Otherwise, if this continues, your relationship will drift further apart in your
marriage. By then, the deep bond between you two will be at risk.”
Natalie didn't deny it, but she sighed. “But I don't want to take a step back.”
“You don't want to, and neither does Mr. Thompson, which is why the argument lasts so
long. But honestly, Nat, I think it's best if you take a step back,” said Lina.

“Why should I?” Natalie straightened her back immediately, feeling somewhat unhappy.
“Why should I be the one to step back instead of Shane?”
“Because Mr. Thompson is worried about your safety. Even though I don't know what kind
of person Sean is, I've heard enough descriptions from you all to roughly tell that he's a
madman who would risk his life to go against Mr. Thompson. He's afraid that this madman
might hurt you, so he asked you to leave. He's doing it for your safety, and your safety is
more important than anything else. Do you understand?” Lina looked at Natalie.
Indeed, she wanted to stay by Shane's side and go through the ups and downs together.
Natalie nodded. “I understand, but...”
“But you want to stay by his side every time!” Lina knew what she was going to say and
directly cut her off.
Natalie pursed her lips and hummed in agreement.
Lina smiled and said, “Nat, your intentions are good. Since you two are husband and wife,
you don't want him to face such a dangerous person alone. However, you haven't
considered your capabilities.”
“Capabilities?” Natalie's expression froze momentarily as if she suddenly understood
something in her heart, but she was still somewhat uncertain.
Lina nodded. “Yes, capabilities. You don't have the same influence as Mr. Thompson, who
has many useful people at his disposal. Moreover, you don't have the ability to protect
yourself as he does. So, how can you fight side by side with him?”
The question caught Natalie off guard, leaving her at a loss for words.
Lina continued, “Nat, I'm not saying this to belittle you, but I hope you can face the reality.
The gap between you and Mr. Thompson is quite huge. He might find it easier to confront
Sean if he faces him alone. However, if you're involved, Mr. Thompson will have to allocate
some of his manpower and attention to protect you and keep an eye on you. What if Sean
doesn't target him in the end, but only goes after you, captures you, and uses you to
threaten him? Then, Shane will have to find a way to save you. At that point, you won't be
fighting alongside him, but rather, you'll be holding him back.”

spoke. “Am I really that useless?”
“You're definitely not useless, but the problem is that your opponent might be even more
capable than you. People say that Sean is cunning and ruthless, and he has a strong
influence, which is why he hasn't been caught by Mr. Thompson yet. So, if he doesn't
target Mr. Thompson but goes after the people around him, his chances of success would
be terrifyingly high. If Sean wants to bypass Mr. Thompson and target you, using you
against him, the probability of it happening is quite high. If it were me, it wouldn't matter
what method I use to take down my enemy, as long as it's effective,” Lina said as she
spread out her hands.
Natalie didn't respond, but her heart was pounding like thunder, and she couldn't calm
down.
It was because she knew that everything Lina said was true.
Although she was Shane's wife, she did not possess the same influence as him, nor did
she have a brilliant mind like him.
So, if she stayed by Shane's side, it was indeed quite possible she couldn't do anything to
help. Instead, she might even become a burden and a hindrance to him, holding him back.
