Shane calmly uttered, “My wife and I will still be happy without your blessings.”
Jackson remarked with a smile. “Okay, okay. I've spoken too much. All right, I still have
some procedures to complete. I'll hang up now.”
Shane hummed in response.
Jackson then hung up the call.
Shane looked at the screen that had returned to the menu tab and casually threw his
phone on the desk. Jackson's departure did not have a huge impact on him.
Everyone had their own life. Jackson chose to be a traveling doctor for Jacqueline. Shane
would not advise Jackson or try to influence his decision since it was his choice.
His friendship with Jackson had thus officially ended as of this point.
Then, Shane messaged his temple, stood up, and headed toward the balcony.
He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket as he got to the balcony. Shaking one out,
he lit it using his lighter.
Jackson's farewell was not something that he was concerned about.
Sean was the one he was concerned about.

In truth, he had no idea what Sean was fleeing from.
Sam was dead, and Sean's mother had now gone to live in seclusion abroad.
It made little sense if Sean had been diligently trying to escape because of Wells
Properties and Natalie.
According to what he knew about Sean, he did not enjoy being hunted by others. On the
contrary, he liked to take the initiative to strike.
Hence, Sean would have taken action several times if his target had always been Natalie
and Wells Properties.
However, Sean had remained hidden in the shadows and had not taken any action apart
from telling Stanley the whereabouts of the Rivers family. Hence, Shane could not
understand it.
He felt that Sean was planning something.
Of course, I will stop Sean from achieving his goal no matter what he has planned. I will
crush all his plans!
Shane's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were frighteningly chilly.
On the other side, Natalie and Lina had arrived at the competition hall.
As soon as they entered, a staff approached them and said, “Hello, Ms. Smith, Ms. Cohen.”
“What's the matter?” Lina spoke first, looking at the staff.
The staff nodded and explained, “The event organizers have instructed us to let the
judges know that today's competition has been called off, and they need you to go to the
conference room for a meeting.”
“The competition has been called off?”
“A meeting?”
Lina and Natalie spoke at the same time.
The staff murmured in acknowledgment, “That's right.”
“Is today's competition postponed due to the meeting?” Natalie asked curiously.
The staff nodded. “That's right. The organizers mentioned that.”
“It seems like the meeting is going to take a while otherwise, why would they postpone
the competition?” Lina mumbled, rubbing her chin.
Natalie looked at the staff. “Do you know what the meeting is about?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe staff shook her head. “Ms. Smith, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. How can an
ordinary employee like me know about the content of the meeting? The organizers just
asked me to pass the message to you guys.”
“I see. Thank you,” Natalie thanked her.
The staff gave a cursory wave before turning around to leave.
Looking at her retreating figure, Lina asked, “Nat, isn't it strange? Wouldn't they normally
let us know ahead of time about meetings like this? Why did they only notify us this
morning? We didn't hear anything about any meeting before we came here.”
“It's a little strange. Maybe something unexpected happened, so they decided to hold the
meeting at the last minute. Anyway, let's not give it too much thought. Whatever the
reason is, we'll find out when we get there. Let's go.” Natalie bobbed her head.
“You're right.” Lina shrugged and followed her as they went in another direction to the
conference room.
They came slightly later than the others. Many other judges were already seated in the
conference room.
Lina was an expert at socializing. Once she sat, she went to inquire about the details of
today's meeting with the judge sitting beside her.
