Chapter 744

Natalie replied, “I have something to tell him.”

Martha assumed Natalie wanted to clarify what happened the night before, so she gave Shane’s
address to her.

She had not been told to keep it a secret anyway.

Natalie smiled in gratitude when she received the address. “Thank you so much, Mrs. Wilson. I’m going
to look for him now. Please take care of the kids.”

“Don’t worry, madam. I’ll take good care of them.” Martha nodded.

Natalie left and got into her car.

An hour later, she arrived at Shane’s residence.

After exiting the elevator, Natalie managed to find Shane’s unit number. She then rang the doorbell.

Jacqueline opened the door. Puzzled, she blurted, “Who is it?”

“Why are you here?” Natalie, in turn, was baffled to see Jacqueline too. A ball of rage welled up within
her. Shane had given his address to Jacqueline, but not to her, his wife.

No wonder Natalie could not find Jacqueline at the villa. She was here all along.

Jacqueline was stunned because she did not expect Natalie to be standing outside the door. But her
face soon broke into a grin. “Oh, it’s you, Ms. Smith. What brings you here?”

She spoke as though she was the lady of the house.

Natalie’s hand curled up into a fist.



She had come here to tell Shane that they had gotten the wrong culprit.

But seeing how things had taken a turn, that would be unnecessary.

Natalie did not reply. She lowered her gaze, concealing the pain she felt, and turned to leave.

Seeing her leave, Jacqueline did not ask her to stay, smiling triumphantly as she shut the door.

Jackson came to the foyer holding a glass of red wine. “Jacqueline, who were you talking to? What
took you so long?”

“Just someone from maintenance,” she said with a smile, and then she took his arm. “Shane’s not back
yet?”

“No, he’s just left the company after the meeting ended. He asked us to wait here.”

“Noted.” Jacqueline nodded in acknowledgement.

On the other side, Natalie had returned to her car. Exhausted, she laid her head on the steering wheel
and closed her eyes.

She had come here with wonderful news. She wanted to tell Shane that they got the wrong person
behind bars. That way, the two of them could come together to discuss how to bring the real culprit to
justice. They could use the chance to get closer to each other.

However, fate could be so ironic. Not only did she not find Shane there, she met Jacqueline instead.
And that woman behaved like she was the lady of the house.

Ever since Shane began giving me the cold shoulder, he’s gotten closer to Jacqueline again, just like
the way it was before he married me.

What is he thinking?



Natalie did not know what to think. She pinched the bridge of her nose and drove away.

Right after she left, a black Maybach drove in.

Silas spotted the car in front and thought it quite suspicious. “Mr. Shane, I think I just saw Ms. Natalie’s
car.”

Hearing that, the man resting in the back seat opened his eyes and looked to the front. However, he did
not see anything. Disappointment, or something similar, dawned on his face.

“Pick me up at eight tomorrow,” Shane told Silas before he got out of the car. Then, he made his way
toward the building.

Back home, Jackson opened the door for him.

With Silas’ remark in mind, Shane inquired solemnly, “Has Natalie been here?”

“No,” Jackson responded instinctively. “What makes you think she has?”

Shane said nothing as he headed to the living room.

Jacqueline beamed at him and got up excitedly. “Shane, you’re back!”

He merely grunted.

Jacqueline was happy to see Shane. She poured him a glass of water.

Behind them, Jackson observed her every move. His eyes darkened behind the glasses.

Jacqueline still loves Shane. Whenever the three of us are together, she seems to forget that I’m her
boyfriend. Sometimes, I really do wonder why she’s even dating me.



Jackson lowered his gaze and walked over to them with an expression of joy plastered on his youthful
face. “By the way, Shane, why did you call us here?”
