Chapter 863

Chapter 863Jessie squeezed out a smile and was about to offer a few words of comfort to him when she noticed
the side profile of the man sitting opposite Natalie.
Isn't that... Sean?
Why is he here? And it looks like the two of them are having a good time chatting with each other!
Doesn't Natalie know that Shane and Sean are on bad terms?
Jessie narrowed her eyes as an idea came to her mind.
A second later, she took out her phone and snapped a picture of Sean and Natalie before sending it to
a number that she had already memorized by heart.
It was daytime back in J City and Shane had just arrived at the office.
Before he could settle down, his phone vibrated.
The man took a glance at his phone and saw that he had just received a picture from an overseas
number.
Shane frowned as it was his personal number that only his friends and family knew of and it was
unlikely for other people to get ahold of that number.
So who could this overseas unknown number belong to?
Shane narrowed his eyes as he opened the message. When he saw the picture, his pupils constricted
at once.
In the picture, Natalie and Sean were seated across each other while having a meal together. It was
probably nighttime as the sky outside seemed dark.Does this mean that they were having dinner together?
Shane's expression turned cold at once and he gripped his phone tightly.
Why would Sean be there? And why would he meet Natalie?
Why would they be having dinner together?
A multitude of questions surfaced in Shane's mind at once.
He adjusted his tie and called Silas into his office, looking grim.
“Mr. Shane?” Silas looked at the man in confusion.
Shane passed Silas his phone and instructed, “Find out who this number belongs to.”
When Silas took the phone, the first thing he saw was the picture and his eyes widened. “Mr. Shane,
this...”
“I'm well aware of the sender's intention for sending over such a picture. It's the same as what
Jacqueline did that time,” Shane said coldly.
Shane remembered that previously, Jacqueline had sent Natalie a picture with the intention of angering
her and creating a rift between the both of them.
Clearly, the sender of the text was thinking of the same thing.
That picture had indeed upset Shane, but he was not so foolish as to believe that Sean and Natalie had
something going on between them just because they had a meal together.
It was also evident from the picture that even though Sean appeared to be very joyful, Natalie was
expressionless. That meant that Natalie was not that happy to be there and there could be anotherreason for them to be eating together.
Silas immediately recalled the time when Jacqueline tried to sabotage Shane when Shane brought it
up. With a serious expression, he replied immediately, “I'll investigate it right away.”
He returned Shane's phone back to him and left the office.
After taking back his phone, Shane stared at the picture for a while before deciding to give Natalie a
call.
He could not help but want to know the reason for her meeting Sean.
Meanwhile, at the other part of the globe, Natalie and Sean had already finished their dinner.
Sean had received a call and left in a hurry after hearing what the caller said.
However, before he left, he did not forget to tell Natalie that he looked forward to meeting her again.
In response to that, Natalie rolled her eyes without replying.
Just as she was walking out of the hotel, her phone rang.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw who was calling. “Shane,” she said when she picked up.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookFor some reason, she was feeling slightly guilty when she answered Shane's call immediately after
meeting Sean.
Shane detected the discomfort in Natalie's voice and snorted before saying, “Are you feeling guilty?”
“Of course not,” Natalie replied in a louder than usual voice as her eyes flickered.
Shane pursed his lips and asked, “Where are you now?”“I'm outside. I've just finished dinner and I'm heading back now,” Natalie replied.
Shane was slightly appeased when he heard what she said.
At least, she did not lie about her having dinner outside.
“Who did you have dinner with?” Shane looked toward the floor as he asked.
Natalie's eyes flickered before answering, “Sal.”
Shane's expression darkened and replied, “Was it really with Sally?”
Natalie's heart skipped a beat when Shane doubted her words.
How could he possibly have known that I was lying?
