Chapter 1243 Video Call
Silas remained cautious, for he hadn’t been fully convinced that Natalie was indeed over the phone.
Moreover, since Natalie had never made a phone call since the beginning, he believed that she was locked up and didn’t have any telecommunication devices.
In other words, Silas had to suspect that someone probably made the phone call and imitated Natalie’s voice, hoping to lure and capture Shane and everyone else.
Meanwhile, Natalie knew that Silas hadn’t fully trusted her because he sounded dubious.
However, she wasn’t angry and didn’t blame Silas for it.
Under such circumstances, Natalie thought Silas had every reason to suspect that she was an impostor. If Silas didn’t put up his guard, Shane could be in trouble anytime.
“The phone isn’t mine but Jacqueline’s. When she temporarily lost her eyesight, I grabbed the chance to steal her phone,” Natalie answered.
Silas was shocked. “Mrs. Thompson, are you with Jacqueline now?”
Natalie nodded and said, “Yes. Apart from Jacqueline, Sean and his housekeeper are also here. Mr. Campbell, I’ll talk to you afterward. Please pass the phone to Shane. I wish to talk to him directly.”
At that moment, the only thing on Natalie’s mind was to meet Shane, for she missed him very much.
Much to Natalie’s surprise, Silas didn’t do as she said. He pushed his glasses and argued, “Although your voice is the same as Mrs. Thompson’s, I haven’t seen you in person yet. As such, I can’t ascertain if you’re indeed Mrs. Thompson. Hence, I need you to prove yourself for safety purposes. No offense, but I have to ensure Mr. Thompson’s safety.”
Deep down, Silas knew that Shane would rush to the island once he knew that Natalie had called him.
However, if it was a trap set by Sean, Shane could be in danger.
As such, he had to be cautious and protect Shane at all costs.
Knowing that Silas was worried about Shane’s safety, Natalie closed her eyes and said, “All right, I understand. I’ll prove myself. Can you wait for a while? I’ll send a friend request to Shane, and we can talk via a video call later.”
With that, Natalie hung up the phone.
The next moment, a shiver ran down Silas’s spine.
Video call? Since she dares talk via video call, she must be Mrs. Thompson!
As Silas was contemplating over it, the phone buzzed.
He lowered his head and saw that a friend request had popped out from Shane’s social media account.
Immediately, he clicked on it and accepted the request.
The next moment, Silas received an invitation for a video call.
Silas clicked on it to accept the request with his shivering finger. The next moment, a beautiful face popped out on the screen.
It was none other than Natalie.
Silas shouted emotionally, “Mrs. Thompson, it’s you!”
Finally, Silas could confirm that the woman over the phone was Natalie.
Given that Natalie was overly beautiful, the current plastic surgery technologies couldn’t produce her face just yet.
She’s indeed Mrs. Thompson!
Miles away, Natalie’s heart also skipped a beat once she saw Silas.
After being kidnapped for quite some time, it was the first time that Natalie saw someone she knew.
Silas unknowingly gripped the phone tighter as he asked, “Mrs. Thompson, do you know where you are now?”
If Natalie knew the location, they didn’t have to search for her without a clue and could rush to her place right away.
Unfortunately, Natalie shook her head and replied, “I’m sorry. I don’t know where I am now. All I know is that I’m on an island that belongs to Nalanica.”
“Island!” Silas’ eyes sparkled when he said, “You’re right. Madam, we’ve known that you’re on an island but do not know your exact location. Hence, we’ve sent out many men to investigate all islands that belong to Nalanica. Now, we’ve arrived at Nalanica and checked out the uninhabited islands. Also, we are getting in touch with the owners of the privately-owned islands.”
“I know. I overheard Sean’s phone call last night. He also knew that you guys have come to Nalanica,” Natalie responded.
Upon hearing it, Silas’ expression turned grim. “What? How did he know that we have come to Nalanica?”
Does it mean that Sean also knows that we are on the sea and checking out the islands?
In that case, will Sean change his hideout?
