Chapter 451

Natalie kept quiet as she didn’t really know what to say in response.

We’re not technically a couple because I haven’t accepted him as my boyfriend, but… claiming that we’re
not dating doesn’t exactly sound very convincing either, given how we’re practically together every day.
Heck, we even got our stuff in each other’s apartments!

Sean let out a chuckle when he got no response from her. “I’ll take that as a yes, then.”

Natalie pursed her lips. “What are you playing at, Mr. Sean?”

“Do you remember what I told you on the phone a few days ago? I was planning on taking you
somewhere, but I’ll refrain from doing so now that you and Shane are dating. However, there is one
thing I need you to do.” Sean narrowed his eyes into a devilish grin.

Natalie shuddered a little when she saw the smile on his face. “W-What is it?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to rob a bank or anything. All I need you to do, is find out where Shane
keeps Grandpa’s will and bring it to me.”

Sean then leaned in closer towards her and continued, “You do that for me, and we’ll call it even between
us. I won’t tell Shane that he’s the father of your kids.”

Clack!

The sound of a folder falling to the ground came from the door right after he said that.



Sean frowned, and the two of them looked towards the door.



Joyce was staring at them in complete shock. “Nat… did he just say that Mr. Shane is the father of your
kids…”

“Please step outside, Joyce!” Natalie rubbed her forehead in frustration. Damn it, why did Joyce have to
show up right now?

Joyce had a ton of questions in her head, but did as told when she saw the stern look on Natalie’s face.

After a brief moment of awkward silence, Sean waved at her and said, “Hey, it’s not my fault that your
friend showed up and heard all that!”

Natalie shot him a cold glare in response. “Let’s just get back on topic, Mr. Sean. So, you want me to ask
Mr. Shane about your grandfather’s will?”

“That’s right.” Sean nodded.

Natalie bit down on her lip. “But… why me? Why can’t you just ask him yourself?”

“I wouldn’t be coming to you right now if Shane was willing to tell me. Besides, you’re his woman, so he’d
let his guard down around you. That makes you the perfect candidate for the job,” Sean said while
adjusting his glasses.

Natalie clenched her fists. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sean. It’s like you said, I’m his woman, so I can’t be betraying
him like this. I suggest you come up with another request, and don’t think for a second that you can
threaten me with my kids. Did you really think I wasn’t going to tell him the truth now that we’re dating?”

Sean froze as he wasn’t expecting her to say that, but was quick to regain his composure.

“Fair enough… I’ll tell you a secret about the death of Shane’s parents, then. How about that?”

“I’m sorry, what?”



“You heard me. There is something strange about their death, and Shane has been investigating it
throughout the years, but he hasn’t been able to find anything. However, I have managed to find some
clues.”

“What’s in your grandfather’s will?” Natalie asked hesitantly.

I won’t do it if it has anything to do with their family property!
