"Sure." Shane nodded in agreement.

The woman made her way to the balcony with her phone.

Pulling a chair over, Shane sat beside the bed.

About two minutes later, the elderly lady on the bed whimpered and opened her eyes suddenly.

The man stood up right away. "Mrs. Wilson, you're awake."

"Mr. Shane?" Thinking it was an illusion, Mrs. Wilson blinked her eyes several times, but she saw that he was still here, next to her. Only then she was sure this was not an illusion.

"Mr. Shane, it's really you. When did you come back?" Ecstatic, Mrs. Wilson tried to sit up, but the man gestured to her to stay still. "Mrs. Wilson, you've yet to recover, so please lie down and don't move about.”

She nodded. "Sure, sure, I won't move around. Mr. Shane, why are you alone? Didn't Madam come back with you?"

The woman glanced behind him. Disappointment filled her gaze when she realized Natalie and the children did not tag along.

Ever since Harrison passed away, Madam has gone overseas with the two little ones for a competition. It has been three months since I last saw them.

She missed them so much, especially the two little ones, whom she regarded as her own grandchildren.

Her heart melted every time the two children called her name during a video call.

"Natalie is going to take part in the finals soon, so she couldn't come back, and I feel worried about bringing the kids back. That's why I'm back alone. Don't worry. When morning comes on her end, I'll make a video call so you can see them." He took a seat again.

With a warm smile, Mrs. Wilson said, "It's all right. The competition and the children's safety are more important. By the way, Mr. Shane, did you run into Sean when you were overseas?"

"Yes, I did." The man's expression turned sour at the mention of Sean.

Mrs. Wilson sighed exasperatedly. "How can he be so wicked?"

"Mrs. Wilson, can you tell me what exactly happened when the intruder broke into the villa?" Shane gazed at her.

Though the manager had told him about it, there might be some missing details since he had yet to hear it from Mrs. Wilson herself.

Perhaps she knew something that nobody else knew.

The woman nodded. "Sure. The night before, I was in the laundry room when I heard some noise. At that time, I thought you and Madam came back, so I called out to you, but there was no response from upstairs. Then I sensed that something was wrong and went upstairs to check it out. I was so shocked to see an intruder in the house."

Mrs. Wilson glowered as she added, "The man pushed me off the stairs when he rushed down and bumped into me. Mr. Shane, I saw his face when I fell. He was Sean!"

"What?" Shane narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wilson was the only one who knew the incident inside out.

She did not tell the manager due to distrust. After all, he was not like Silas, who had been by Shane's side for a long time.

"Mrs. Wilson, are you sure it was Sean himself?" Shane questioned in a low voice, clenching his fists.

Immediately, the woman answered, "Yes, I'm sure it was him. Though he disguised himself, I could still recognize him, but he... He even..."

She just could not bring herself to utter those embarrassing words.

His brows drew together. "What did he do?"

Mrs. Wilson met his gaze. After a moment of hesitation, she finally said, "He... He took a lot of Madam's belongings."

Shane's expression turned gloomy at her words. His murderous aura could make the people around him feel suffocated.

"Sean Thompson!" Infuriated, he clenched his fists so hard that they were quivering, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging.

Sean had held a revolting affection toward his mother. And after she passed away, he had diverted those feelings to his wife.

Any man would be enraged by such a thing.

One day...
