After all, Sam was the brother of Shane’s father. How could he be so cruel?
Of course, the one person who caused Shane to feel the greatest disappointment was none other than David.
To protect Sam, David had ignored the tragic death of his other son.
No wonder Grandpa said that he was sorry before he committed suicide.
In a craze, Shane swept his hand out in a wide arc. With a single blow, all of the objects on the coffee table went clattering to the floor.
Crash
The glassware shattered into tiny pieces.
Upon hearing the loud noise, Silas assumed that an accident had occurred. He barged into the office.
“Mr. Shane…” Silas trailed off into silence. Shane was standing in front of the couch with his head lowered. A terrifying and deadly aura was emanating from Shane’s figure. Silas trembled in fear when he noticed Shane’s ominous temperament.
“Mr. Shane, are you alright?” Silas mustered his courage and asked fearfully.
“I want to meet Grandpa’s assistant,” Shane replied in an impassive tone.
“Okay, I will arrange it right away.” Silas did not ask any further questions and nodded in an immediate reply.
Shane made his way to the place of David’s previous assistant.
He lingered there for a long time and asked a barrage of questions.
The answer that he obtained was identical to his guess and Natalie’s explanation. Yulia had not caused the death of his parents. They were murdered by Sam’s henchmen.
This sudden and profound conclusion left Shane wholly stunned. When he left the place, his gait was unsteady as he could not process the devastating truth.
Shane would have stumbled down the stairs if Silas hadn’t reached out to catch him.
“Mr. Shane, are we returning to the villa?” Silas asked. His heart ached to see Shane in such a state of distress.
The true killer of Shane’s father was not Natalie’s Mom; it was Sam. Mr. Shane’s cold treatment toward Natalie was all for naught. Natalie was hurt by Mr. Shane’s actions. I’m sure that he’s feeling guilty right now.
“Yes,” Shane rasped out with a nod.
He wanted to see Natalie and beg for her forgiveness. This is all my fault.
“Alright.” Silas helped Shane to the car and drove toward the villa.
When they arrived at the villa, it was already dark outside.
Shane was greeted with silence when he strolled into the villa. If it weren’t for the sounds that resonated from the kitchen, he would have assumed that the villa was deserted.
“Mrs. Wilson!” Shane called out.
Hearing his yell, Mrs. Wilson rushed out hurriedly. “Sir, why are you back?”
“Where is Madam?” Shane returned her question with one of his own.
Usually, Natalie and the two children would greet him when he returned. However, he noticed that their shoes were missing when he crossed the entrance. Are they still outside and have yet to return?
Mrs. Wilson began to panic when Shane asked about Natalie. “Sir, please bring Madam back! She was crying when she returned this afternoon. She packed all of her belongings and moved back to the apartment!”
“What?” The color drained from Shane’s face. “She moved back?”
“That’s right, I tried my best to stop her, but she wouldn’t listen to me. Sir, please bring Madam back.” Mrs. Wilson nodded profusely.
Shane pressed his lips into a thin line and he was about to say something when he was cut off by Mrs. Wilson.
Looking like she had recalled something else, Mrs. Wilson said, “I just remembered something. Madam mentioned that she left something for you in the room. She asked for you to look at it when you returned.” She pointed to the stairs.
Hearing this, Shane made his way upstairs immediately.
Shane opened the door to the room. The furnishings were spick and span. However, Natalie’s belongings had vanished. She really moved all of her stuff out! There’s absolutely nothing left!
A sinking feeling bloomed in his heart as realization dawned upon him.
Shane remained rooted in place as he surveyed the entire room. All of a sudden, his gaze landed on the object on the bed. That must the thing that Natalie left for me.
He strode over to find a file.
The file reminded him of the divorce settlement from earlier.
