CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Natalie's expression turned serious at once. “His name is Sean Thompson, and he's Mr. Shane's cousin, which makes him the kids' uncle.

“Whoa! This is quite the revelation! But why did he seek you out?” Joyce blinked her eyes in curiosity.

At the mention of this, Natalie heaved a sigh. “I owe him a favor, so he wants me to ferret out the whereabouts of Grandpa Thomspon's will from Mr. Shane and get him the will.”

“What?” Banging her hands on the table, Joyce leaped to her feet. “Did you agree?”

“No, but I didn't refuse either. I'm only considering it.” At this, Natalie lowered her eyes and murmured placidly, “He gave me a very tempting offer in return—a lead about Mr. Shane's parents' death. Mr. Shane has been investigating this matter, so I'm thinking of helping him since I owe him too much.”

“No way!” Joyce swung her hand out in the universal stop sign and declared sternly, “Nat, this isn't the way even if you want to help him. Such a deed will definitely be a betrayal to him.”

“I know, but what should I do? Sean has made it clear that he's not going to let me off the hook. He's adamant that I do this for him. What if he gets enraged and makes a move against my kids and the people around me if I refuse? That's why I said I want to think about it. It's to buy time.” Natalie propped a hand against her forehead wearily.

Upon hearing this, Joyce racked her brains for a solution. “How about you just tell Mr. Shane about it?”

“Tell him about it?” Natalie was momentarily taken aback.

“Yup.” Joyce nodded resolutely. “By doing so, you won't be betraying him, and you can also ask him about the whereabouts of the will. When he'd taken a look at the will, you can just make a copy and give it to Sean Thompson. Anyway, he merely said that he wants the will, but he didn't specify that it can't be a duplicated copy!”
