Chapter 1015


    “No, not Stanley himself, but the organization he is associated with,” said Shane, cutting Natalie off.


    He had always wondered what organization Sean was involved in that allowed him to traverse multiple


    countries freely. Now, he had finally gotten his answer.


    It''s this badge!


    When he first saw Sean wearing it, he didn''t think there was anything unusual about it. However, he


    thought differently now that he had seen this sketch and remembered the bad blood that Natalie had


    mentioned existed between Joyce and Stanley.


    Stanley''s parents were killed by an organization. If this badge belonged to the murderer, that could only


    mean Sean, who owned a badge identical to this one, belonged to the same organization as the


    murderer.


    Thus, Shane reckoned as long as he continued investigating the background of this organization, it was


    very likely he would end up finding Sean as well.


    Watching the intense expression on his face and seeing the sketch being crumpled up in his grip,


    Natalie pursed her lips for a moment before asking, “So, what you''re saying is that Sean and the


    people who murdered Stanley''s parents are members of the same organization?”


    “That''s what I think. Anyway, I''m taking this sketch. I''ll be in my study,” stated Shane darkly.


    Natalie nodded, knowing he was heading off to his study to dig up information on the organization


    connected with the badge. “Sure. Go ahead.”


    Shane turned and left the room.


    After he left, Natalie dialed Joyce''s number and told her about the new findings.


    Joyce was so happy that she called Stanley and ryed the news to him as soon as she hung up the


    call with Natalie.


    Soon after that, Natalie''s phone rang with a call from Stanley.


    “Nat, are you sure Sean had been seen with that badge before?” The light reflected off his sses,


    making his eyes hard to be seen.


    Natalie nodded. “Yes, Shane said he''d seen him wearing it before, so it must be true. Besides, Shane''s


    also checking out the organization behind the badge right now. What about you, Stanley? Have you


    found anything?”


    Last time, Joyce had mentioned that he had taken the badge away to investigate it himself, but no


    news hade back about it yet.


    Adjusting his sses, Stanley answered, “Not yet. I asked a friend to help me out with it, but he hasn''t


    given me any answers. I suppose he didn''t find anything, though, since I''d given him the task quite


    some time ago.”

    “It''s all right. Shane''s on it now. I''ll let you know once hees up with anything.” Natalie smiled.


    The line went silent for two seconds before Stanley replied, “Thanks, Nat.”


    “Don''t mention it. You could say we both share amon enemy now, so it''s only natural that we help


    each other out.” Natalie waved her hand dismissively.


    Stanley''s lips then twitched as if he was hesitating to speak. A momentter, he finally started to talk.


    “Nat, I think there''s something I need to tell you.”


    “What is it?” Natalie became serious when she heard the sudden solemnness in his tone. “Jacqueline


    came to see me a while ago.” The words that just came out of Stanley''s mouth were shocking, to say


    the least.


    Natalie''s expression changed slightly. “What do you mean? She went to see you?”


    “That''s right.”


    “What for?” Natalie''s fingers curled into fists instinctively.


    Adjusting his sses again, Stanley answered, “She wanted me to help her leave J City.”


    “And did you agree to her request?” Natalie raised her voice unwittingly.


    Stanley shook his head. “No, but I think she''s no longer in the city.”


    Natalie was utterly stunned. “How would you know that?”


    “After I rejected helping her, I told her she might as well ask Sean for help. He was bound to do her a


    favor since they''re allies. So, I think that''s what she did. If she''d seeded in finding him, then I''m sure


    she''s fled the city.”


    Natalie''s entire figure trembled with rage. “How could you hide such an important piece of information


    from me? You know full well about the grudge between Jacqueline and me!”


    “I''m sorry, Nat.” Stanley lowered his gaze apologetically, but his face showed absolutely no remorse.


    Natalie couldn''t see his expression anyway. Shutting her eyes, she went on, “What''s the point of your


    apology now that the incident has passed for such a long time? And why are you telling me this now?


    You chose not to say anything when it happened.”


    “Because you just told me about the clue you''d just found, so—”


    “So this is how you show your thanks?” said Natalie with a scoff.
