CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1718 Twisted Intentions

A hint of mockery curled up at the corners of his mouth, and he fell silent.

However, Natalie knew what he was about to say next.

He meant to say that he didn't expect to see Shane on the very first day he returned. At that time, Shane was escorting her and her two children back to the apartment.

For a while, both of them fell into silence, neither uttering a word. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After a considerable amount of time passed, Stanley set down his coffee cup, poured himself another cup of coffee, and then continued, “Connor is very intelligent. His intelligence exceeds my expectations. As a neurologist, I have encountered many bright children, but Connor is the first one who is this remarkable. When I saw Shane, I suspected that he might be the father of the two children. Likewise, when Connor saw Shane, he naturally had his doubts as well. On the first day that I returned to the country, Connor handed me his and Shane's hair, asking me to conduct a profile for them.”

“I know, Connor told me about it. But in the end, the profile result didn't confirm them as father and son.” Natalie nodded.

As for why they weren't father and son, she already knew the answer.

It must have been tampered with by Stanley.

As it turned out, Natalie's suspicion was correct. Stanley glanced at her and said, “I didn't want you to

know that Shane is indeed the father of the two children because I knew that if you had even the slightest knowledge of it, there was a high possibility of a reunion as a family. So, after the results came out, I tampered with them. Hence, what Connor saw was a paternity test result stating that they were not father and son.”

“I had already guessed it,” Natalie flicked her hair near her ear and said with a light laugh.

Would her anger flare up? In the past, it would have ignited into a furious blaze. However, now, it had dissipated because it was meaningless.

After all, their family had been reunited, and naturally, there was no point in clinging to the past.

“In fact, when Shane first saw Connor, he also had doubts about whether they were father and son. He secretly conducted a profile, but the results were switched by Jasmine,” Stanley suddenly added.

Natalie paused for a moment. It seemed that she was still unaware of that matter.

But it didn't matter, it was all in the past. They had finally been reunited.

“All of that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is, what was your purpose in kidnapping Connor? You haven't told me yet,” Natalie gazed at Stanley and asked again.

Stanley rubbed his temples. “I thought that if I didn't let you know about the relationship between the two children and Shane, you wouldn't have any further interaction with him. After you finished your work, you would leave J City with the two children. But I never expected that even if you didn't know about Shane's relationship with the children, you would still keep in touch with him and even consider staying here to develop your career.”

“Tell me, how could I allow that?” He looked at her and continued, “If you stayed here, it would mean that the relationship between the two children and Shane would eventually be exposed. It's impossible to keep it a secret forever. That's why I had someone take Connor away. I didn't mean to kidnap him.”

Natalie clenched her fists. “Isn't that still kidnapping? You caused Connor to have a car accident. He's so young, and car accidents are so terrifying. With a little carelessness, he could have been killed. You almost got Connor killed!”

Her eyes were red as she stared at him. Her emotions started to become intense.

Stanley lowered his gaze. “I'm sorry, but I really didn't intend to kidnap Connor, nor did I ever think of causing him a car accident. I just wanted to take Connor away first, take him abroad, and then secretly inform you of his whereabouts. I knew that for Connor, you would definitely follow him overseas. I just wanted you to leave J City, that's all. As long as you left J City, I had a way to make you stay abroad. I never had any harmful intentions toward Connor. The car accident was just an unfortunate event. I didn't expect the accident to happen on the way after the driver took Connor away. What I said was all true.”

He lifted his eyes and looked at her earnestly.

He hadn't lied. He really only wanted to use Connor as a pretext to lure her away, to take her abroad. He didn't intend to kidnap Connor or cause harm to him.
