CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1780

Chapter 1780 Do Not Touch Her

Stanley did not speak. Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on Natalie. He scrutinized her from head to toe, checking to see if she had any injuries.

After seeing she was not hurt, he stood behind Shane and lowered his voice. “Natalie seems to be fine. Sean probably just tied her up and didn't do anything else.”

Upon hearing that Natalie was unharmed, the worry in Shane's heart finally eased slightly, albeit momentarily.

After all, Natalie was still being held at gunpoint. His first instinct was to immediately rush forward and kill Sean or get his armed bodyguards to shoot him when he saw how his beloved was treated.

However, he dared not act recklessly, fearful that Sean would retaliate first and kill Natalie.

If that were to happen, he would be the one who caused the death of his lover.

Therefore, he did not dare to take any risk and gamble.

Sean laughed when he heard Shane's sarcasm. “Magnanimity? Shane, this word isn't appropriate for use here. Compared to my life, what value does magnanimity have? Besides, I never care about honor. If I can achieve my goals in the best way possible, why won't I do it? So, are you asking me to let Natalie go and seek my death?”

Shane fell silent.

Just then, Stanley spoke up. “So, what do you want?”

Sean looked at him. “So you really did come.”

“Of course, I have to come. Natalie's my friend, and you're using her life to threaten me. I'm not the type to ignore a friend in danger.” Stanley adjusted his glasses and said calmly.

Sean sighed, then lowered his head to look at Natalie. “Nat, so many men worry and care about you. You must be very touched, aren't you?”

Natalie looked at him from behind. “Of course. This shows that I'm well-liked. Unlike you, who ended up being a scum condemned by all.”

“Nattie, don't provoke him,” Shane quickly warned.

He was worried Natalie's provocation would infuriate Sean and cause him to pull the trigger.

Watching how Shane acted so anxiously about Natalie's safety, Sean suddenly burst into manic laughter. “Shane, you're truly smitten with her. Indeed, you wouldn't have risked coming here if you didn't love her. So, you must be scared that I might lose control and take her life, right?”

Shane's gaze was fixed on the gun in Sean's hand. His thin lips pressed tightly, and he did not utter a word.

Sean added. “If you want to save her, you can. But first, tell your men to put down their weapons.”

“No!” Natalie immediately exclaimed.

Enraged, Sean hit her on the temple with the gun.

The next second, there was a buzzing feeling in Natalie's head, and she almost passed out.

“You have no right to speak here!” Sean coldly warned Natalie with a glare.

Upon seeing Natalie being hit, Shane almost lost control and wanted to order his men to shoot Sean.

Fortunately, he forcefully regained his sanity, avoiding a move he would regret for the rest of his life.

But he would forever remember that scene - Sean hit his woman.

“Sean, don't touch her,” Shane roared in a low voice.

Sean looked at his agitated expression and could not help but smirk. “What's the matter? Feeling heartbroken? Well, it's understandable. You love her so much; seeing her get hit must have hurt you. That's great. Because when your heart aches, only then will you do anything for her.”

“So, what do you want me to do?” Shane waved, signaling the bodyguards behind him to put down their guns. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

It was disadvantageous for him to disarm his bodyguards now.

But to prevent Sean from hurting Natalie, he had no choice but to do so.

However, when Shane waved his hand, his thumb quickly pressed downward.
