Chapter 1035She was Natalie, and that was that. She was one of a kind. How could someone treat her as someone
else's substitute?
Natalie clenched her hands into fists and hissed, “What a scumbag.”
Shane knew she was talking about Sean, and he agreed wholeheartedly.
Falling in love with his own aunt and Natalie, too? Despicable.
“Once we find him, I'm going to show him why he should be scared,” Natalie said and bit her lip.
Shane caressed her hair gently.
Natalie looked at Shane's bloody knuckles, and her anger toward Sean immediately extinguished. She
pulled him toward the bed. “I'll help you bandage this.”
She forced him to sit down and went to get the first-aid kit from the closet.
When she came out with the first-aid kit, she saw Shane reading the diary.
He flipped through it. “Are you almost done?”
“Yes. I have two entries left,” Natalie walked over and put the first-aid kit down. As she started ruffling
through it to look for the correct ointment, she said, “I haven't read them thoroughly, but I did flip
through them. I realized he stopped five years ago.”
“Five years ago, he drugged me and wanted to blackmail me. His plan only failed because you showed
up, and after I left, I chased him out of the country. That was why he stopped,” Shane explained.
Natalie nodded. “I see. So he probably also joined that organization because you kicked him out,
right?”“Yes. He had no power five years ago, but now he has enough power to be considered a threat in more
than a few countries. That's what makes me think he joined around the same time, too,” Shane said
mildly.
Natalie cleaned off the blood on his knuckles. “He wrote about his true goal behind drugging you that
night.”
“Really?” Shane frowned.
Natalie threw away the bloody cotton ball and started disinfecting the wound with alcohol. “He wrote
that he did do that to blackmail you so he could get you to return Wells Properties' major shares. He
even wrote that he had never even thought about taking over Thompson Group, but if your father had
passed it over to him, he wouldn't have said no.”
“He can keep dreaming!” Shane smirked coldly before his eyes narrowed at a sudden thought. “Did you
just say he wanted me to return the Wells Properties shares to him?”
“Yes.”
“Why return, though?” Shane didn't get it.
He knew his mom hadn't handed Wells Properties over to him, or her lawyer would have come to find
him soon after she passed so he could be informed.
He hadn't known who had gotten Wells Properties until he saw his grandfather's will and found out that
Sean had gotten it.
How could Sean ask him to return them? It wasn't like Shane had them anyway.
Shane's mouth opened slightly. “Did Sean think it went to me?”“Yes.” Natalie nodded. “He wrote about how Lindsay passed Wells Properties over to him as a note of
gratitude. She truly did treat him like a son, and Sean knew that. However, before he could sign the
contract, she passed away, and the contract disappeared, so he thought you had taken it.”
“I see.” Shane's thin lips flattened into a line.
Natalie sighed. “Actually, Grandpa took the contract away, and he didn't tell either of you. That's why
Sean thought you took it away because you didn't think it was fair for him to get it. Then, when he
found out that the contract wasn't with you and with Grandpa, he started his relentless journey to get
his hands on Grandpa's will.”
Everything made perfect sense now.
Shane clenched his fists tightly. “He'd really stop at nothing to get his hands on Wells Properties.”
“Because it was from your mom,” Natalie reminded.
Of course, Sean took it seriously. After all, he was in love with Lindsay.Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook
