Chapter 905
“I suddenly thought of something,” Ss piqued up.
Shane looked at him curiously and asked, “What is it?”
“Seven years ago, I happened to see Sean and Mr. Thompson engaged in a conversation. I had been at
the Thompson residence to retrieve some papers for you, and I stumbled upon them in the garden. Sean
had been questioning Mr. Thompson about the whereabouts of a share transfer agreement.”
Running his hands through his hair in frustration, Ss continued, “I wonder if the agreement Sean
mentioned was rted to Wells Properties.”
“And then what happened?”
“I heard Mr. Thompson raging at Sean, saying something about Sean’s family being indebted to your
parents and his audacity in iming the shares. I didn’t think much of it back then. In retrospect, there
were so many clues in their exchange.” Ss sighed.
Mr. Thompson must have been referring to Sam’s murder of Mr. Shane’s parents when he mentioned the
debt by Sean’s family. If only David had been less ambiguous with his words. Someone might have
connected the dots sooner, and Mr. Shane could have discovered the culprit behind his parent’s murder
much sooner.
Shane was immersed in a thoughtful silence.
Ss asked, “Mr. Shane, what are you going to do with the share transfer agreement?”
“Let’s leave it for now.”
Ss blinked in surprise. “Aren’t you going to tear it? What if Sean gets his hands on this in the future?”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.
“My mom meant to give him these shares. If he gets it, he gets it,” came Shane’s reply.
“You’re going to let him take over Wells Properties?” Ss was dumbfounded.
“It’s just apany.” Shane continued thoughtfully, “I’m more interested in my mother’s reasons for
giving Wells Properties to Sean than the actual ownership itself.”
Only Sean knows why. Something might have happened between my mother and Sean that led to her
decision. No matter what happened, I have to get to the bottom of this.
Unsessful in his attempts to persuade Shane to destroy the share transfer agreement, Ss left with
Sam’s criminal evidence in hand.
At noon that day, Sam was officially arrested under the charges of first-degree murder.
Sam’s murder of his brother and sister-inw in order to inherit the Thompson Group had been a
shocking revtion. The Inte was buzzing withments and reposts of the news.
Many shareholders in the group criticized Shane’s decision to publicize the affair, concerned that it would
plunge their stock prices.
To their surprise, stock prices skyrocketed out of public sympathy for Shane, painted as an orphaned
victim at the mercy of his cruel uncle. Sam and his wife were the only ones who took a battering from the
public.
Sam was detained in prison despite his paralysis, owing to the brutality of his actions and Shane’s
irrefutable evidence.
A verdict could not be expected so soon from Sam’s trial, but Shane’swyer was confident of a death
sentence.
This oue was perfectly eptable for Shane, who did not wish to see Sam on this Earth a minute
longer.
Meanwhile, in the Graham residence, Jacqueline had learned about Sam’s downfall from the web. She
dropped her phone in shock.
He found the will and sent Sam to jail. What about me? Is there any information in the will that’ll expose
my identity?
She shuddered in fear at the possibility of the will containing information about her.
Either way, it’s time to make a run for it. I have to leave ASAP! Otherwise, I’m dead meat when Shane
tracks me down.
Jacqueline picked up her phone and called Jackson. “Jackie-”
“Jacqueline.” Jackson had justpleted an operation and was leaving the surgical theater. He sounded
exhausted as he asked, “Did you call me about something?”
“Jackie, have you given more thought to my earlier request?” she asked cautiously.
Lowering his lids, Jackson muttered, “I’m sorry, Jacqueline. I can’t agree to that.”
