“No. You're not scary at all. Besides, I support you. If you're a scary person, that makes me one too, doesn't it? Two scary people together... Now, isn't that a perfect match!” Natalie answered, chuckling softly.

Shane's thin lips curved into a smile. “Hmm, you're right.”

“Let's go back outside. It isn't well-ventilated in here. Now that I've seen Jacqueline's miserable state, the rest can wait until she has regained consciousness,” said Natalie.

Over the next two days, there was still no news of Sean returning to the villa.

Gradually, Shane also started sharing the same suspicion.

After all, it has been two days without any news about Sean. He hasn't even called Jacqueline's phone. They've been colluding for so long that he would surely contact her if anything happened. But we haven't heard anything at all. Could it be that he already knows we have Jacqueline? Is that why he hasn't tried to get in touch with her?

Shane pursed his thin lips. “Has Connor gone back?”
