"Bring over a bucket of water and splash them till they wake up," Shane grimly instructed as he fixed his gaze on the two tied up on the chair. Silas arranged for a guard to work on that as soon as he heard his assignment.

A short moment later, the guard returned with a bucket of iced water and splashed it on Sean and Jacqueline.

Cough... Cough... The two immediately regained their consciousness after getting choked by the water.

At once, those voices revealed their identities.

Natalie's heart sank when she heard their voices which were foreign to her. "Shane, you're right. They're really not Sean and Jacqueline."

Shane pursed his lips in silence.

Silas was dumbstruck. "They're not Sean and Jacqueline?"

Natalie nodded. "They're imposters. Shane and I noticed from the security footage that Jacqueline's physical appearance was a little off. We're guessing that these two have undergone plastic surgery to impersonate them."

Silas gasped in astonishment. "There's such a thing? But why would Sean get people to impersonate them?"

"That's easy. We can replace out the answer from them." Shane's eyes turned deadly as he glared at the pair.

At the sight of his glares, the pair, who were already quivering in cold, shook even more vigorously because of the immense fear growing within them.

"Don't have to show any mercy. Interrogate them." Shane's expression was extremely frosty.

This time, he was really mad.

He thought he had finally caught Sean and Jacqueline. Little did he expect them to be imposters! Since they're daring enough to fool me, then take whatever there is to come!

"Got it." Sensing how grave the matter was, Silas looked serious as he nodded in acknowledgment. Shane then pulled Natalie's hand and said, "Let's go. We'll get the answer in no time."

Natalie forced a smile as she mumbled a response.

Shane did not see a need to stay behind since the pair were only imposters.

On their way back to the lounge, Natalie suddenly sighed as though she remembered something. "I should've noticed it earlier. No wonder Jaqueline looked healthier and more energetic when I saw her at the jewelry market then. I thought she received proper treatment from Sean, so I didn't put too much thought into it. But now that I think of it, I'm afraid that person I saw was her imposter."

"It's not your fault. I missed it once too," Shane uttered before pressing his lips together.

Natalie looked at him. "You noticed that something was off too?"

Shane nodded. "Remember when I said that Sean didn't wear glasses at the exhibition that day? I guess that's not the real Sean either."

Natalie let out a bitter laugh. "Honestly speaking, who would've thought that they'd go to the extent of putting two other people under the knives of plastic surgery just to mislead us?" Indeed, no one would have thought about that.

Shane tugged Natalie's hair neatly behind her ears. "Let's not think too much about it anymore. We'll wait for Silas to report the interrogation results to us."

Natalie only squeezed a smile on her face as a response.

After about an hour's wait in the lounge, Silas finally came over with a file in his hand.

"Mr. Shane, Madam, you're right. Those two are imposters with the same built as Sean and Jacqueline. They could not replace reasons to turn down Sean's tempting monetary offers and thus headed overseas for the surgery. Here are the details about their real identity I received from their plastic surgery clinic after the interrogation." Silas passed the documents over upon finishing his words.

Shane and Natalie then looked through the papers together.

It turned out the imposters had taken up trivial roles in showbiz and thus had the acting skills to mimic Sean and Jacqueline.

Unfortunately, there were still minute details that exposed their identity.

"Did they divulge the reason why they've been appearing so frequently before us?" Natalie withdrew her gaze from the documents and looked at Silas.
