Chapter 1223 Stay Here Forever
“Uh…” The corners of Sean’s mouth twitched, and he gave a bark of laughter a moment later. “Okay, I’ll admit that I misspoke. But Nat, I’m serious. I’m not going to propose any stipulation this time, so you don’t have to pay any price for me to help you investigate the matter. As you know, I love you. It’s only natural to do something for someone you love, yes? Thus, just say the word. As long you ask me for help, I’ll agree right away. That’s not difficult for you, no? Besides, it’ll be of no consequence to you.”
“You’re right. It’s indeed simple to do so, but it’ll still be of some consequence to me. I don’t dare to lower my guard with you. Regardless of whether you’re sincere or have an ulterior motive, I don’t believe you. Hence, I don’t like you helping to investigate the matter.” After saying that coldly with her eyes trained on the man, Natalie strode out of the dining room.
Sean didn’t stop her from leaving either. Only after she had disappeared into the living room did he shrug helplessly. “Ah, this feeling of being distrusted doesn’t feel all that good!”
Every high-ranking member of that organization had an identity badge, and each had a unique serial number.
If one misplaced his badge, he needed to report it to the organization and apply for a new one. Therefore, it wasn’t difficult to find out whether any of the high-ranking members misplaced theirs.
Hearing that, the person on the other end of the phone nodded and assented, “Got it, Mr. Thompson.”
“Anyway, the investigation must be conducted secretly. When you’ve got the answer, report to me immediately,” Sean ordered while adjusting his glasses.
Jacqueline came out of the kitchen soon after he put down his cell phone after the call ended. The instant she saw that he was alone in the dining room without Natalie, she sneered with her face contorted into a mask of scorn, “Aren’t you going to leave with Natalie when she has left?”
Everyone thought that he despised Shane because David passed over Sean’s father and gave Thompson Group to Shane’s father. Following Seth and Lindsay’s demise, he went on and passed over Sean and gave Thompson Group to Shane.
However, that wasn’t the truth. He had never coveted Thompson Group and hadn’t the slightest interest in it. The only thing he wanted was Wells Properties.
He thought that Wells Properties was in Shane’s hands. And so, he targeted the latter time and again, trying to kill him in a bid to snatch Wells Properties back, but he ended up being banished abroad for five years with nothing to show for it.
Only when he returned after his exile five years later did he find out by chance that Wells Properties wasn’t in Shane’s hand either. In fact, the man had no idea to whom Lindsay bequeathed it. It was then that he realized that he misunderstood him.
