CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

If Joyce were to learn about Stanley's true colors, her love for him might die a tragic death, and that isn't what I want. Rather, I want to help her so that she'd take the initiative to pursue him, for only when that happens will he be too busy to pester Natalie!

Naturally, Silas had no inkling of Shane's thoughts. He rubbed his chin as a wave of resentment surged within him. “Are you planning to keep Ms. Smith in the dark?”

Shane stuck a hand into his pocket. “How's the investigation I asked you to do on Stanley?”

At this, Silas shook his head. “He's rather mysterious. All I can find is his rich resume and the superficial information that is meant for public consumption. There isn't much progress with the covert stuff. It's as though it has been buried.”

“Really?” Turning back, Shane started walking forward again.

He'd thought that someone like Stanley, who was an expert in putting on a front and had psychological problems, would have certainly done despicable things covertly. Thus, he wanted to dig up dirt on him and hand the information to Natalie so that she'd see his true colors.

But from the look of things now, that wouldn't work. I can only wait until he makes a move again next time and ensure that Natalie witnesses it!

That night, Natalie went to the hospital once more with her two children.

The moment Connor and Sharon stepped into the hospital room, they both ran over to the hospital bed. Wailing, they begged Stanley to wake up.

Natalie didn't stop them either, allowing them to do as they pleased. She handed the thermal food jar in her hand to Joyce. “I made you some mushroom soup, so do have some.”
