“Did he do anything to you?” Shane asked.
Natalie felt a sense of guilt, recalling the scene where Sean pinned her down on the couch. She lowered her head, hoping she sounded nonchalant when she replied, “No.”
It was difficult to talk about Sean’s evil misconduct towards her.
Her plan would fail if Shane confronted Sean.
Shane couldn’t see her expression, so he was oblivious to her omittance. “That’s good then. Have you told him?”
“Yes, I did, and it seems he believed it. I guess he will be heading to Loang next,” Natalie replied sombrely.
Shane pressed his lips into a thin line. “All right. Leave the rest to me. I’ll make sure he won’t be returning to J City once he left.”
That night, Shane listed out the possible hiding places for the will and had Silas searched them. Nevertheless, they still couldn’t find it.
So he had Natalie lied to Sean to lure the latter out of J City. Then, Sam would have no protection, leaving him open to his attacks.
Shane tightened his grip on his phone and exuded a dangerous aura as he thought about what Sam had done to him.
Natalie caught Shane’s change of mood despite not looking at him. “Shane, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Shane’s eyes glinted and collected himself.
Natalie nodded. “That’s good. I’ll be hanging up then.”
“Sure.” Shane nodded.
Natalie placed her phone in the passenger seat as she continued driving towards the company.
Upon arriving, Joyce waved at her. “Nat, Lina’s here.”
Natalie smiled. “Got it.”
Throughout this fortnight, Lina had been coming to the company every two days. Now, Natalie and Joyce were close friends with her.
“Lina!” Natalie greeted as she entered her office.
Lina turned her head from her blueprint to look at Natalie. “You’re finally here. Come over here.”
“What’s wrong?” Natalie approached curiously.
Lina set the blueprint on the table. “This is the blueprint. There’s something weird about it that I couldn’t point out. Please help me take a look.”
Natalie narrowed her eyes as she studied the necklace blueprint. “Indeed, there’s something weird with it.”
“Right?” Lina bit her lip. “How could this be? I’m confident about my designs. So I have no idea how I could design such an awkward blueprint. Hurry, help me look for the weird part.”
Natalie chuckled, “You’re the designer. If you don’t know, how would I?”
“I couldn’t find it because I’m the designer. You might see it with a fresh pair of eyes.” Lina passed the blueprint to Natalie.
Without a choice, Natalie took the blueprint and sat behind her desk.
As she studied it intently, the creases on her forehead deepened.
Realizing something, she dug through her drawer and found the gown blueprint.
Upon scrutiny, the gown’s and the jewelry’s blueprint were strikingly compatible. A glance at both of the designs, and one would assume they were a set.
“I got it.” Natalie compared it with her gown’s blueprint and finally understood the awkwardness in Lina’s design.
Lina was instantly by her side. “Where is the problem?”
“Here.” Natalie pointed at her’s and Natalie’s blueprint. “Haven’t we discussed earlier that it would be two different designs? So why is yours so similar to mine?”
Lina finally noticed the flaw. She palmed her forehead, upset by herself. “I forgot that we did agree to have two different designs. But as I drew, it turned out this way.”
