Chapter 967

Chapter 967Natalie buried herself in his chest before saying, “All right. Stop blaming yourself. It was just a
momentary danger. Nothing will happen anymore once we capture Sean and Jacqueline.”
Shane didn't reply; he simply hugged her quietly.
Capture Sean? If it was so easy, he wouldn't still be free now.
Sean wasn't any weaker than he was. Though the former's powers in the country might not be a match
for Shane, Shane was sure he would be no match for Sean if they were in foreign countries.
Sean was almost always overseas. The law enforcement in other countries wasn't as good, which was
why most of his subordinates were outlaws. All of them carried a weapon with them.
It was also due to this that it would be difficult for Shane if he wanted to capture Sean in another
country. The latter was incredibly powerful overseas.
Seeing that the man wasn't talking, Natalie patted his back. She knew that he was in a tight spot. “All
right, Darling. Let's not think about unhappy stuff now. Let's go and see the kids upstairs. They're
playing games in their room, but they'll be so happy to see you home,” she said.
Shane murmured an acknowledgment in response. “Let's go.”
He then took her hand and led her upstairs.
Everything was smooth sailing again in the next few days.
It was as though there wasn't any more danger.
But Natalie knew it wasn't true. The danger was just hiding and lurking in the dark. It just hadn't shown
itself.Over the past few days, Shane had been contacting Governor Stephen in search of Sean throughout
the city.
Sean would be captured right away if he were to appear now.
Hence the reason why he needed to go into hiding.
However, he did such a great job hiding that there wasn't a single trace left behind by him. Shane was
grim at how things had turned out, but he also realized that he had underestimated Sean's capabilities.
The latter's influence in the country was far wider than he once thought.
It seems like just using Wells Properties' shares won't be enough to lure Sean out. I need to find out
more about the forces behind him.
How did he even manage to get so powerful? There's no way he could've done it in just five years. He
doesn't have the money that would allow him to be able to come and go between the few countries as
he pleases.
The only possibility is that Sean must have met someone, and they passed down their power and
influence to him.
Shane narrowed his eyes as he pondered.
Natalie handed him a cup of coffee and said, “That's enough. Stop frowning so much. You look like an
old man.”
Old man?
He raised an eyebrow at her and pulled her closer to him. “Oh? I'm an old man?”
“You're already thirty-something. Isn't that old?” the woman answered with a smile.He bit on her earlobe before saying in a hoarse voice, “Then wait till you're three months pregnant. I'll
show you if I'm an old man.”
Natalie's face flushed red as she glared at him. “Ugh! Why are you always thinking about that?”
“What's wrong with that? Isn't it good—”
His phone rang before he could finish speaking. Shane furrowed his brows, inwardly complaining about
the person who called for being so tactless.
Yet, even with the thought in his mind, he still pulled out his cell phone.
Silas was calling, and after seeing his name on the screen, Shane answered, “What is it?”
“Mr. Shane, I just received news that Harrison has collapsed,” Silas said.
Shane instantly turned to look at Natalie.
At the sight of this, she blinked and asked, “What's wrong?”
“Harrison collapsed.”
The woman froze for a second before lowering her gaze. “I see.”
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookSusan had been poisoning him, and Natalie never tried to get anyone to stop her.
It had been only a matter of time before Harrison collapsed. She had already mentally prepared herself
for it.
However, it still didn't feel good when she received the news.
He was her biological father, after all.“How is he doing now?” Shane asked over the phone.
Silas shook his head as he replied, “Not too great. Harrison fainted when he went out to fish with a few
other people. He's been sent to a hospital and is still in the emergency room. But the doctor did say
that even if they manage to save him, he won't be able to get up anymore and can only stay in bed.”
