Lina nodded in agreement. “That's true. There's no way you can worry about all the women who like Mr. Thompson. Anyway, I'm sure you must be relieved now that Lucy's in jail.”

With a smile, Natalie responded, “Exactly. Then again, I'm not relieved because my rival is gone. I never cared about Lucy in the first place. She's not exactly my rival, nor is she worthy of being one. I know Shane will never like her, no matter what she does. To me, she's basically threatless. I'm relieved because I won't have to keep seeing this annoying pest appearing in front of me in the future.”

Lina let out a laugh and repeated, “Pest. I can't think of a more suitable word to describe her. Oh, what about Hannah? Did the police say they found her?”

Natalie shook her head. “No. Hannah might have caused some trouble, but it's not enough to be considered a crime. The police won't be that serious about finding her. Even if she's found, they'll only issue her a warning. She won't be given any serious punishments.”

“Does that mean we'll have to find Hannah ourselves and teach her a lesson?” Lina frowned.

Natalie nodded. “I guess so.”

“Why don't you let Mr. Thompson handle it? With his methods, I'm sure Hannah will be found soon,” suggested Lina.

A glint flashed in Natalie's eyes. “You're right. I should get that little genius from my family to help me out. I'm sure he can locate Hannah instantly. I'll have him try it out when I go home tonight.”

Unlike Sean, Hannah did not have such great influence that she could hide from Connor, a top-tier hacker.

She was just an ordinary person. Though she knew how to hide, she was nowhere as skilled as Sean.

Connor could definitely locate her if he got involved.

Lina, too, knew who the “little genius” Natalie was referring to was.

Ever since Natalie was kidnapped by Sean, Lina knew Connor was a hacker. She was quite shocked when she first found out about it. After all, it was rather rare for a child his age to have such skills.

After recovering from the shock, she could not help but be impressed by Natalie and Shane's genes for giving them such a remarkable child.

I wonder what my child will be like if I got pregnant with Bryan's.

At that thought, Lina's face flushed red. She sat motionless on the car seat and stared into space.

Natalie looked at Lina in confusion and waved her hand in front of the latter. “Hey, snap out of it.”

“Huh?' Lina blinked and returned to her senses. Bewildered, she asked, “What's wrong?”

Natalie stared at her with a half-smile. “I should be the one asking you that question. Weren't we having a serious conversation? Why did you suddenly zone out? What's on your mind?”

“I wasn't thinking about anything,” Lina answered with a guilty look flashing through her eyes.

Natalie raised her brow. “Really?”

“Of course!” Lina nodded confidently.

As if worried Natalie might not believe her, Lina raised her hand and vowed, “I swear I wasn't thinking about anything.”

Natalie's lips twitched. She was at a loss for words.

All right, all right. If she said she wasn't thinking about anything, then so be it. Why did she have to make a vow? It's only making me think there was really something on her mind.
