Chapter 687
“What happened next?”
Natalie was stunned again.
She swallowed, and said more cautiously, “Later… Mrs. Wood just jumped into the sea and died… they broke contact.”
“Broke contact?”
“Mr. Wood, are you confused? She is dead. How can we contact her…”
Shawn looked at her deeply.
“Since then, Aurum never had close contact with anyone, did he?”
Natalie nodded.
“Heh…” Shawn suddenly h**d the corners of his lips and let out a sneer.
The atmosphere was cold.
Natalie knew if she said something wrong, it would make Shawn deeply unhappy.
After all, ever since Gale passed away and Shawn’s hair turned gray overnight, he has become more and more volatile and has a cold temper.
Those who offend him will end badly!
Natalie was restless and wanted to leave, but she was also afraid that Shawn would have something to ask her.
If she had known… she would not have gone to Shawn back then. Now she felt guilty, afraid that Aurum would find out and Shawn would blame her!
Shawn pressed the bridge of his nose deeply.
He did not know if he was thinking too much or… it was just a coincidence.
Back then, Aurum and Gale had a good relationship.
Aurum now bought a house, sent money, and took care of Molly, who was far away in the county, through Zoe’s cover.
Was there any connection between these two people?
The contact between Aurum and Zoe became frequent again in the year Gale passed away!
Could it be…
“Mr. Wood, just speak up if you have something to say. I really don’t know why you came to me,” Aurum replied.
“You should ask yourself what you did.”
Aurum shook his head. “I don’t understand Mr. Wood.”
Shawn threw the transfer slip on the table with a snap.
He asked, “Who is Zoe? What is the relationship between you and Joshua? And, what is the relationship between you and Molly?”
Every sentence caused a little panic in Aurum’s heart.
On the surface, he could only try his best to keep calm. “Zoe was the aunt who took care of me and watched me grow up. She returned to her hometown after she felli, and I missed.her more or less.
“You sent her that much money?”
“Shawn, how is that a lot? That is a trivial amount of money for you and me, right?”
Shawn nodded deeply. “Yes. But for ordinary people, it takes most of their lives to earn half of that money.”
Aurum replied without changing his expression, “Zoe is not in good health, and she spends a lot of money in the hospital every month. I was afraid that she would be reluctant to treat her illness, so I transferred a lump sum to her at once.”
