Chapter 845


    It was almost her turn, but Natalie didn''t receive a single call from Sally. At that moment, she could


    sense that something had befallen her.


    “Shane, I would be devastated if anything bad happened to Sally,” said Natalie anxiously as she


    grabbed Shane''s arm. She worried about Sally''s safety more than thepetition.


    “Don''t worry. I''m here for you.” He tried to assure her and patted her back lightly when he saw her body


    tremble with fear. Her sorrowful eyes overflowed with tears.


    Sally, where are you?


    Just when Natalie was feeling overwhelmed with emotions, Connor shouted, “I found her!”


    Natalie pushed Shane away and rushed to her son. Instead of being offended or hurt by her action, the


    man found it fascinating and raised his brows in response.


    Anxiously, Natalie asked, “Connor, where is she?”


    His son immediately passed her the phone and pointed at the red pin shown on the screen. “She''s at


    the exit staircase of the building, but we can''t tell the exact level from this floor n.”


    The floor n only showed a view from above, so it was impossible for them to indicate her specific


    location.


    “Mommy, you''ll need to send a few more people to find her on each floor,” he reminded her.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Natalie nodded in acknowledgement.


    “Leave it to me. I''m one of the investors of thepetition. I can assign more men to look for her.”


    Shane stepped forward to offer help.


    “Okay. I really appreciate that, Shane.” She nodded as she squeezed her hands anxiously into fists.


    The man gently caressed her hair, then took out his phone from the pocket.


    A few minutester, they received good news from the searchers. Sally was found unconscious in a


    trash bin located at an emergency stairway not far from the surveince room. The bump on the back


    of her head was concrete evidence that she had gotten hit.


    Natalie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that they found her alive. Then, anger began rippling


    through her. She couldn''t believe Sally had been treated so brutally.


    If Connor hadn''t located her, she might have only been found at eight o''clock that night when the


    janitors came to collect the trash. By that time, Sally''s life would have been in serious danger.


    Sally was soon carried to the dressing room. Beside her was Natalie who couldn''t help feeling


    concerned. Natalie took Sally''s hands and asked with tears in her eyes, “Sal, are you okay?”


    Lightheaded, thetter leaned back on the couch. After a while, she murmured, “Nat?”


    “Yes, it''s me.” Natalie nodded profusely as tears coursed down her cheeks unchecked.


    “It''s really you.”


    “I''m here.”


    Just then, Sally broke down into tears. “It''s really you. Thank God. I''m alive, Nat!” she wailed.


    Natalie''s heart ached with pity for her, so she immediately hugged her and apologized.


    Meanwhile, Shane just watched them with envy. His face darkened. He didn''t want to interrupt them, so


    he turned and left.


    As soon as he stepped out of the room, the host of thepetition approached him and bowed his


    head respectfully. “Mr. Thompson, I''m sorry that such an incident happened in this event. We will


    definitely investigate the case thoroughly and provide you with a full exnation.”


    He didn''t expect that the designer who was almostte to thepetition was actually the wife of


    Thompson Group''s CEO.


    And, worst of all, her model was viciously attacked and shoved into a trash bin in order to sabotage her


    show.


    The host promised to find the culprit. That person not only harmed the wife of a CEO — the reputation


    of such a prestigious internationalpetition was also destroyed.
