CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“Familiar? Since you find her familiar, it must be someone you know,” Natalie said. Alice nodded her head in agreement and added, “I think so too. If I am not wrong, she must be from the high-society circle. Otherwise, how could she promise such a huge sum of money?”

“From the high-society circle...” Natalie stole a glance at Shane, then continued asking, “Which of those rich ladies are you acquainted with?”

She believed if Alice could name them all and she checked on those ladies, she would be able to find the mastermind.

Actually, Natalie already had a suspect in mind.

It was Jacqueline.

Jacqueline had revealed her true colors to show that she was not the gentle girl they met in the hospital but was a she-devil instead. What happened at the stairways had sufficiently proved that she was capable of being vicious, so it was not unimaginable that she could resort to killing.

As per Natalie's request, Alice named all the rich socialites she was acquainted with - every single one of them, regardless of how close they were to her. Natalie had to do a voice recording so she would not forget any of the names in the long list.

Shane, who was quietly watching by the side, was also memorizing the names. He planned to get Silas to look into those ladies.

Soon, Alice had finished naming the suspects, but Jacqueline was not on the list.

Natalie frowned as she contemplated on that. There were only two possibilities. It was either Alice did not know Jacqueline, or Jacqueline was not the culprit.

However, her intuition told her Jacqueline was very likely the one. Unconvinced, she asked Alice, “Are you sure that's all? Could you have missed out on anyone?”
