CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

The man did as told while Shane and Silas kept quiet as they watched from the side.

However, the call didn't get through, and all they heard was an automated message saying the number was no

longer in service.

Shane clenched his fists tightly while a wide-eyed Silas asked in shock, “Is this phone bugged?”

The man shook his head profusely. “No, it isn't! It really isn't!”

Silas grabbed him by the collar and asked, “Were you having a conversation with Sean while stealing the

documents? Did he hear my voice and realize you were caught?”

“No, I wasn't on a call with him! I wouldn't dare do so! Some companies have sensors that sound the alarm when

they detect an unrecognized signal from calls being made. I was afraid that this company had those sensors

installed too, so I didn't dare make any calls at all!” the man explained.

Silas froze.

He's right. Most companies do have such sensors installed, and Mr. Shane's office is no exception. Only a few phone

numbers have been saved into the system, so phone signals from any other number would definitely trigger the

alarm. That means this guy is telling the truth.

“This is just one of Sean's plans,” Shane spoke up all of a sudden.

Silas looked at him in confusion. “One of his plans?”

“Sean knew it wouldn't be easy to steal the equity transfer agreement. He didn't have much chance at success the

first time, so he never expected this attempt to be successful either. That's why Sean deactivated his number so

quickly,” Shane explained while rubbing his eyebrows.

“So, this man is a pawn that Sean has abandoned?” Silas asked with a glint in his eye.

Shane nodded. “That's right.”

The man went pale the moment he heard that.

I-I'm just a pawn?

“Sean never expected for him to successfully steal the equity transfer agreement to begin with. He only sent him to

find out where the document could possibly be hidden. Should this man fail to do so, Sean would just arrange for

someone else to look for it elsewhere. Whatever happens to him won't affect Sean in the slightest,” Shane

continued.

The man on the floor was close to tears once again as he realized he had been tricked and used.

Silas gave him a sympathetic look as he asked, “I see... What shall we do about this guy, Mr. Shane?”

“Take him to the police station. He has stolen quite a lot of corporate documents in the past, so it's about time he

paid the price for it anyway,” Shane said with a wave of his hand.

Silas smiled and nodded. “Understood.”

He then summoned some bodyguards and had them take the man away.

The man was still begging to be spared as he was being dragged outside, but Shane and Silas both ignored his

pleas.

“Have someone install more hidden cameras in the building. I believe Sean will make another attempt at this,”

Shane ordered.

“Understood,” Silas replied.

Shane then waved at him as he said, “All right, you can go now.”

“Yes, sir.”

Shane waited till Silas was gone before opening the safe in his lounge. Inside the safe were some precious jewelry

and a folder.

He took the folder out of the safe and retrieved the equity transfer agreement for Well Properties inside.

The last time Shane went to Well Properties, he saw the manager and asked him if he knew why his mother gave

Sean the shares.

The manager said he didn't know why, and that he only knew Sean was the chairman because Shane's mother said

it herself.

As such, she had truly given Well Properties' shares to Sean willingly.

Naturally, Shane didn't take too kindly to that, but he was more curious about the reason behind his mother's

actions.

Although he was unable to find Sean, he could try to lure him out through Sam.

If that didn't work, he would put the word out about auctioning the equity transfer agreement as Sean was bound to

show up then.

Even if he didn't, he would still send someone in his stead, and catching that guy would also lead them to Sean.

“Hava somaona install mora hiddan camaras in tha building. I baliava Saan will maka anothar attampt at this,”

Shana ordarad.

“Undarstood,” Silas rapliad.

Shana than wavad at him as ha said, “All right, you can go now.”

“Yas, sir.”

Shana waitad till Silas was gona bafora opaning tha safa in his lounga. Insida tha safa wara soma pracious jawalry

Ha took tha foldar out of tha safa and ratriavad tha aquity transfar agraamant for Wall Propartias insida.

Tha last tima Shana want to Wall Propartias, ha saw tha managar and askad him if ha knaw why his mothar gava

Saan tha sharas.

Tha managar said ha didn't know why, and that ha only knaw Saan was tha chairman bacausa Shana's mothar said

it harsalf.

As such, sha had truly givan Wall Propartias' sharas to Saan willingly.

Naturally, Shana didn't taka too kindly to that, but ha was mora curious about tha raason bahind his mothar's

actions.

Although ha was unabla to find Saan, ha could try to lura him out through Sam.

If that didn't work, ha would put tha word out about auctioning tha aquity transfar agraamant as Saan was bound to

Evan if ha didn't, ha would still sand somaona in his staad, and catching that guy would also laad tham to Saan.
