Chapter 666

“What do you think?” Sean’s lips curved into a wicked grin. “To be frank, I haven’t thought it through. Not
only did you fail to reveal the whereabouts of the will, you even alerted Shane on the existence of this
will. If he gets to it before me, my whole family would be in grave danger. To prevent that from
happening, I had no choice but to get rid of you. You’re just too important to him.”

“You’re killing me?” A hint of terror flashed through Natalie’s eyes.

He shook his head. “No, not at the moment. I’m just exploiting you to threaten Shane so that he’ll hand
the will over to me.”

“Is that why you abducted me all the way here?”

“That’s right,” replied Sean as he gently caressed Natalie’s head. “I’m keeping you locked up in here
while Shane searches for the will. When he manages to get hold of it, then I’ll give you back to him.”

“Has it ever crossed your mind that he’ll spare no effort in seeking revenge after I return to him?” She
retorted whilst giving her captor a menacing glare.

Even though he howled in laughter, there was no trace of humor in his eyes. “You really believed I didn’t
think of all these? Even so, I was left with no other choice. I’m just going to have to make sure I’ve got
dirt on you before you leave my sight. That way, I’ll have plenty of blackmail material in the future. He
wouldn’t act rashly with me then, would he?”

“You…” Natalie bit down on her lip, hard. In a trembled voice, she probed, “What are you going to do to
me?”

“It’s simple, really. All I need to do is strip you naked and take tons of indecent photographs and videos of
you. Those should be enough to frighten Shane,” Sean threatened as he peered into her terrified eyes.

The color had drained from her face.





The sight of her petrified utterly thrilled Sean and he loosened his grip on her neck.

With the immense pressure on her neck relieved in an instant, Natalie’s breathing eased up.

As she coughed hard, she panted heavily as though she was desperate for fresh air. Large tears
brimmed in her red-rimmed eyes.

Sean sat in his seat and observed her vulnerable state with keen interest.

He had to admit that her beauty was impeccable. Despite being all disheveled, it was undeniable that the
allure she exuded was one that attracted others to take advantage of her.

What a shame…

Sean shook his head regretfully. “Why did Shane have to be the first between the two of us to meet
you?”

His insinuation did not go unnoticed by Natalie. A glint flashed across her eyes momentarily. However,
she chose to ignore him and continue taking deep breaths. Nevertheless, the terror within her ballooned.

It was beyond her expectations that the hoax was exposed in such a short time. More than that, she
failed to predict that Sean would exact his vengeance so soon. He wasted no time in holding her hostage
to threaten Shane.

She even mentioned the fact that Shane would be sure to settle the score with him even if he succeeded
in retrieving the will, in hopes that Sean would be wary of Shane’s ruthlessness.

Alas, he was way more vicious than she had ever imagined. He even thought of a despicable backup
plan to pressurize Shane if needed.



A man like him was an absolute demon.

As though he could hear her inner turmoil, Sean’s eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to voice his
thoughts, Alex rushed in with a ghastly expression. “Director, I’ve got bad news. The men stationed at
the bottom of the hill caught wind that Mr. Shane is here.”

“What?” The look on his face instantly changed.

Upon hearing the news, Natalie froze for a moment before her lips widened into a smile.

Shane’s here! He knows I was kidnapped by Sean.

From his peripheral vision, Sean could see the anticipation on Natalie’s face. Riled, he clenched his fists.

However, he knew it was not the time to flare up. He rose to his feet and demanded, “Get some men to
watch over her.”

“Yes,” Alex murmured after glancing at Natalie.

Sean then left the room, with Alex following close behind.

The expression on the former’s face was grim, to say the least. “How did Shane find us?”

“We’re not sure,” Alex muttered as he shook his head. “But some men speculated that someone among
us brought along a tracking device of some sort. That’s why the route Mr. Shane and his crew took was
precisely the same as ours. He nailed us spot on.”
