Chapter 1664
At that point, Stanley had a grim expression on his face. “Sean knows very well that he isn''t your
match. To get a shot at winning against you, he''ll use Natalie to threaten you.”
“What did you say?” Shane''s expression turned as dark as a storm cloud. A terrifying aura emanated
from his body as if he were a demon who had just emerged from the depths of hell, sending shivers
down everyone''s spine.
Naturally, Stanley knew his words would incur Shane''s wrath.
He had to admit that he was equally infuriated when he heard Sean say those words.
“It''s highly possible that Sean will find an opportunity to kidnap Natalie because he said he hoped I
would be present to save her during hisst fight with you. In other words, he''ll use Natalie to threaten
you and will not care about her safety. He''ll very likely harm her.” Stanley disclosed another piece of
information that almost made Shane fly into a rage.
Shane''s expression darkened further. He gripped his phone tightly as though he intended to crush it.
“Sean has a death wish!” he snarled in an icy voice.
He did not mind going against Sean, but he would never allow thetter to harm his wife.
Unsurprisingly, Sean was as unscrupulous as ever, involving women in their fights.
Shane vowed that he would never let Sean off easily. He must end thetter''s life.
Of course, as it stood, there were more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.
With that thought in mind, Shane took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Stanley, can I trust that
you''re telling the truth?” he said into the phone.
Stanley knew Shane would doubt his words.
That piece of news came too suddenly, after all, so it was understandable that Shane doubted its
validity.
If Stanley were in Shane''s shoes and someone suddenly told him that his enemy wanted to use his
wife to threaten him, he would definitely verify the matter first since it could be a conspiracy to trap him.
Thus, Stanley was not angered by Shane''s distrust.
“You can investigate the matter yourself to verify the truth. Anyway, I''ve already told you everything,” he
replied calmly.
Shane fell silent for a moment before replying, “I know. In any case, thank you for informing me, though
I will still be verifying the information personally. That''s all.”
With that, he ended the call and ced his phone aside. Then, he lowered his gaze, seemingly thinking
about something.

Natalie ascended the stairs after checking on Anders, who was apanied by Zaylee. As soon as
she arrived at thending, she spotted Shane standing in the corridor. He had his head lowered, and
an icy aura was emanating from him.
“Darling, what''s wrong?” When Natalie saw him in that state, she felt her heart sink for no reason. A
beatter, she hurried over to him, took his hand, and asked in concern, “Did something happen?”
Taking in his grim demeanor, she could tell at a nce that he was seething.
Did something happen at Thompson Group because he had to abandon his post to apany me
here? If that''s the case, I feel guilty.
Something flickered across Shane''s eyes, but he quickly regained hisposure and took her hand
gently. Suppressing his fury, he smiled at her. “I''m fine.”
“Are you sure?” Natalie looked at him doubtfully. “But you seem furious earlier. Darling, if something
has happened, go and handle it. Don''t bottle up your anger. What if—”
Before she could finish her words, Shane pressed a finger to her lips to shush her. “All right, now. I
really am fine, so don''t worry. If something happens, I''ll definitely head off to take care of it right away.”
He did not n on disclosing the details of his conversation with Stanley to her.
If Natalie found out that Sean might use her to threaten him, she would me herself for existing and
might even do something foolish.
Besides, the finalpetition was about to begin, so Shane did not want that matter to affect her
mood.
