Chapter 862

As if Shane could read Natalie’s thoughts, he said in a low voice, “I’m sending you a picture now. Take a
look.”

“Sure.” Natalie nodded.

A picture?

What picture? Soon after, Natalie received the picture from Shane.

Not knowing what to expect, she clicked on the message and opened the picture attachment.

It was a photo of her and Sean eating together in the hotel lobby. Natalie was shocked that Shane was in
possession of such a picture.

When she regained her composure, she started to wonder who the photo was taken by.

“Have you seen the photo?” Shane asked.

Natalie rubbed her cheeks and answered, “I’m sorry, Shane. I didn’t lie to you on purpose.”

“Oh?” Shane narrowed his eyes before asking, “Then why did you lie, then?”



Natalie sighed and replied, “Fine. Since you’ve already seen the picture, I guess I can’t keep it from you
anymore. I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want you to worry. Earlier today, I bumped into some
thugs when I was walking out of the magazine company after visiting the artists and I was almost…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a loud thud on the other end of the line which sounded
like a chair banging against something.



Natalie guessed that Shane must have bolted up from his seat when he heard what she said and that the
chair had banged against the wall.

“Shane…”

Natalie called out his name but was interrupted by the man’s nervous inquiry. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Natalie smiled and shook her head. “Don’t worry. Sean was the one who saved me. Otherwise,
I might have already fallen prey to those guys. I bought him dinner to thank him. I didn’t tell you because
I didn’t want you to worry and I also didn’t want to divulge Sean’s whereabouts, at least for now. After all,
he did save me from harm and I reckoned I shouldn’t rat him out.”

Shane heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Natalie was safe and replied, “Alright, I understand.
However, have you ever considered the possibility that Sean and those thugs could be in cahoots with
each other? Otherwise, why would he be there in such a timely manner?”

“It’s not him,” Natalie answered confidently. “Those two thugs have been active in the area for a long
time. You can find news about them on the internet. So I’m pretty sure that Sean wouldn’t purposely get
them to put up an act. I’m sure he has better things to do.”

Shane pondered for a while and thought that it made some sense. “Where is he now?”

Natalie paused for a moment before replying, “He has already left. But Shane, can you just let him off
this time around? After all, he saved me. We… “

“Sure,” Shane replied before she could even finish speaking.

“Really?” Natalie smiled as she confirmed what she heard with the man again.

“Yup,” Shane replied before continuing, “But just this once. I won’t let him off the next time.”

“Okay.” Natalie nodded.



Natalie shared the same sentiments. After all, Sean had indeed saved her and she could not repay his
kindness with ingratitude.

However, if they met again under normal circumstances, she would definitely not soften her stance
again.

“But Shane, how did you get this picture?” Natalie asked, feeling puzzled.

Shane massaged his temples and sat down before replying, “An unknown overseas number sent it to
me.”

“Overseas number?” Natalie was confused. “Who could it be?”

“I’m not sure as well. Silas is checking on it and we should have an answer soon,” Shane replied.

“I see,” Natalie responded while nodding her head.

Natalie analyzed that the sender must be someone who knew both her and Shane and also knew that
she was his wife.

But who could it be?

Just when she was deep in thought, a gust of wind blew past her, making her shiver. “Brrr.”

“Are you cold?” Shane heard the sound she made and asked.

“Yeah, the wind is quite strong,” Natalie replied as she rubbed her arm.

“You should head back soon,” Shane gently urged.

“I will,” Natalie replied and was about to end the call.



However, she suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to her husband, “Wait a minute,
Shane! There’s something else I need to tell you.”

“What is it?” Shane held his cell phone up to his ear again.

With a serious expression, Natalie said, “It’s regarding your parents. Just now, Sean told me that apart
from his dad, there’s someone else who caused your parents’ death.
