CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

At that point, Stanley had a grim expression on his face. “Sean knows very well that he isn't your match. To get a shot at winning against you, he'll use Natalie to threaten you.”

“What did you say?” Shane's expression turned as dark as a storm cloud. A terrifying aura emanated from his body as if he were a demon who had just emerged from the depths of hell, sending shivers down everyone's spine.

Naturally, Stanley knew his words would incur Shane's wrath.

He had to admit that he was equally infuriated when he heard Sean say those words.

“It's highly possible that Sean will find an opportunity to kidnap Natalie because he said he hoped I would be present to save her during his last fight with you. In other words, he'll use Natalie to threaten you and will not care about her safety. He'll very likely harm her.” Stanley disclosed another piece of information that almost made Shane fly into a rage.

Shane's expression darkened further. He gripped his phone tightly as though he intended to crush it. “Sean has a death wish!” he snarled in an icy voice.

He did not mind going against Sean, but he would never allow the latter to harm his wife.

Unsurprisingly, Sean was as unscrupulous as ever, involving women in their fights.

Shane vowed that he would never let Sean off easily. He must end the latter's life.

Of course, as it stood, there were more pressing matters to attend to at the moment.

With that thought in mind, Shane took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Stanley, can I trust that you're telling the truth?” he said into the phone.

Stanley knew Shane would doubt his words.

That piece of news came too suddenly, after all, so it was understandable that Shane doubted its validity.

If Stanley were in Shane's shoes and someone suddenly told him that his enemy wanted to use his wife to threaten him, he would definitely verify the matter first since it could be a conspiracy to trap him.

Thus, Stanley was not angered by Shane's distrust.

“You can investigate the matter yourself to verify the truth. Anyway, I've already told you everything,” he replied calmly.

Shane fell silent for a moment before replying, “I know. In any case, thank you for informing me, though I will still be verifying the information personally. That's all.”

With that, he ended the call and placed his phone aside. Then, he lowered his gaze, seemingly thinking about something.

Natalie ascended the stairs after checking on Anders, who was accompanied by Zaylee. As soon as she arrived at the landing, she spotted Shane standing in the corridor. He had his head lowered, and an icy aura was emanating from him.

“Darling, what's wrong?” When Natalie saw him in that state, she felt her heart sink for no reason. A beat later, she hurried over to him, took his hand, and asked in concern, “Did something happen?”
