Chapter 1248

The Dark Organization

Sean’s eyes darkened when he noticed the unconcealed disgust in her gaze. Just as he was about to
say something, he heard footsteps approaching.

Marina brought out a set of breakfast from the kitchen and placed it in front of him. “Sir, please enjoy
your meal.”

He harrumphed in response and added, “You may leave. Keep a close eye on Jacqueline.”

“Okay.” Marina nodded and went back to the kitchen.

At the mention of Jacqueline, Natalie lowered her gaze and asked, “Do you blame me for asking Marina
to chase Jacqueline to the kitchen?”

Sean took a sip of coffee and smiled. “Why would I? When you told me that you didn’t want to eat with
her, I agreed to have her eat in the kitchen whenever you are around. My approval isn’t a one-time event
but for a lifetime. Do you understand?”

Natalie’s eyes flickered around, and she did not utter another word.

Sean put down his cup of coffee and grabbed his fork. “By the way, Nat, do you know why I didn’t come
back yesterday?”

“No, and I’m not interested too,” she replied after taking a sip of her glass of milk.



“Oh, I bet you will be interested.” Propping his head on the palm of his hand, he asked, “Haven’t you
been eager to know about the organization behind me and the culprit that killed your friend’s parents?”



At that, Natalie’s expression changed, and she straightened her back.

Noticing her reaction, Sean smiled. “See. I said you would be interested. I went back to the organization
yesterday, and I’ve looked into the whole thing for you.”

“What?” She stared at him in bewilderment. “D-Did you figure it out? Who’s the culprit?”

“Calm down,” he urged, signaling her to simmer down.

Natalie was stunned for a moment but soon recollected herself.

That’s right. Why am I being so emotional? It’s not like that will make him tell me everything. Even if he
does, there must be a catch. He must want something from me in return. I shouldn’t have asked him in
that way.

As though he knew what was on her mind, Sean sighed. “Nat, I’m heartbroken that you think of me like
that. Are you so mistrustful of me? When I said I would help you look into it last time, you rejected me
because you thought I wanted something from you. But still, I went to investigate it. This means that I
sincerely want to do something for you, and I don’t need you to give me anything in return.”

She forced a smile and replied, “I’m sorry, but there’s no free lunch in this world. Thus, I don’t believe you
will help me without any condition.”

Furrowing his brows, he sighed and said, “Why is it so hard for you to trust me even once? Fine. Since
you don’t trust me, let me prove myself. I will cut to the chase. The Dark Organization hired a bunch of
talented people about a decade ago. There were scientists, doctors, and so on. One of our faction
leaders was in charge of the recruitments.”

The Dark Organization?



Natalie did not intend to find out who killed Stanley’s parents. Yet, Sean started divulging everything to
her, much to her surprise.

Most importantly, he even revealed the name of his organization.

Shane and Connor had failed to find out the organization’s name despite investigating for a long time,
and unexpectedly, Sean disclosed it himself.

Isn’t he afraid that I will tell Shane to destroy his organization?

The shock on her face was too obvious that Sean knew what was on her mind right away. His eyes
gleamed as he said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ve already instigated a group of people to leave the organization.
You could say I’m no longer associated with the organization, so whatever happens to it has nothing to
do with me.”

Realization then dawned on Natalie.

I see. No wonder he doesn’t mind revealing the name of his organization. It’s because he has betrayed
the organization!

Seeing that she had regained her composure, Sean uttered again, “That faction leader’s the one who
killed your friend’s parents. You’ve been refusing to tell me who your friend is. I’ve found out now. It’s
Stanley Quinn, right?”
