Chapter 1239


    The housekeeper replied, “It''s not surprising that you didn''t know, madam. We haven''t known each


    other for a long time.”


    Natalie said, “That''s true.”


    “Are you not having breakfast, Madam? Or does it not suit your pte?” the housekeeper asked while


    looking at the breakfast in front of her.


    “No, it was just that Jacqueline was here before me. You know that we don''t get along and I was


    worried that she''d do something to my breakfast. This was why I didn''t eat it.” Natalie smiled


    sheepishly.


    She meant every word she said though. Nobody could predict what Jacqueline the evil woman would


    do.


    Therefore, she really did not dare to eat that breakfast.


    The housekeeper did not react much to what she said and immediately picked up the dishes and said,


    “I''ll bring you another portion then.”


    “Thank you so much.” Natalie nodded gratefully.


    “My pleasure,” the housekeeper said as she brought the dishes into the kitchen.


    Shortly, she returned and ced another breakfast set in front of Natalie.


    It was only then that Natalie picked up her utensils to begin eating.


    As she was eating, she suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh yes, will Sean stille back?”


    “Yes, he will. Since you are here, Sir will not leave.” The housekeeper did not know the hidden meaning


    in Natalie''s words and answered honestly.


    Natalie looked down to disguise the joy in her eyes. “Ah, I see.”


    That''s great, Sean will stille back!


    She was afraid that Sean would leave. If that was the case, Shane would not be able to find Sean


    when he got here.


    After that, Natalie did not ask about anything else and merely ate her breakfast quietly. She would only


    raise suspicions if she asked too many questions.


    After breakfast, she wiped her mouth while the housekeeper began to clean up the table.


    She put her napkin down and said, “I''ll head back to my room.”


    “Yes, madam.” The housekeeper nodded.


    Natalie responded to her before heading upstairs.


    On the second floor, she looked at Jacqueline''s room and wondered if her room was locked.


    She then walked toward the door and turned the knob. Indeed, she could not move it which meant that


    it was certainly locked.


    Of course, it was the housekeeper who had locked it.


    After all, she mentioned that she wanted to lock Jacqueline in her room.


    Even though Jacqueline being locked up was good news for her, it also meant that Natalie could not


    get the cell phone from Jacqueline as she had no way of getting to her.


    In other words, she had to be able to see Jacqueline in order to get her cell phone.


    Should I ask the housekeeper for the key?


    Natalie shook her head. No, I can''t do that.


    If she were to ask the housekeeper for the key to Jacqueline''s room, it will definitely raise the suspicion


    of the housekeeper. By then, before she could even get the cell phone, the housekeeper would have


    caught her.


    Therefore, she needed toe up with another idea.


    Natalie released the doorknob and turned to head back to her own room.


    Meanwhile, at the ocean.


    Shane walked to the deck of the cruise ship and was staring out at the ocean.


    The light on the cruise ship shone brightly on the dark surface of the sea, making the ocean look even


    more mysterious.


    Ss brought a jacket to Shane and said, “Mr. Thompson, it''s windy tonight. It''s best that you go in so


    that you won''t catch a cold.”


    “No need.” Shane shook his head but took over the jacket. “What''s the investigation progress on that


    few deserted inds?”


    “We have gotten feedback from three deserted inds and there is no sign of human life there. We are


    still working on the other three deserted inds,” Ss replied.


    Shane nodded in response. “Have you contacted the owners of the other private inds?”


    “We have contacted some of them, and they have already sent their people to see if there were any


    trespassers on their inds. I will be urging the team to work on the other ind owners that we have


    not contacted yet,” Ss said as he pushed his sses back.

    Shane said, “Good. Meanwhile, send another team to the open sea now to check for other


    undocumented inds.”
