“Examined her body?” blurted Shane with his brows raised. What the heck?

Silas cleared his throat a little. Although he felt a little awkward, he still shared everything that happened after he

and Joyce barged into the room.

He was especially detailed in recounting how Joyce examined Jacqueline's body.

Hearing all that got Shane's eye to twitch a little. He was speechless about Joyce's method, but he was genuinely

appreciative of it.

If she hadn't shown up in the hotel in time, the paparazzi might've already taken the photos of him and Jacqueline

together.

It would be impossible for him to clear his good name if that were to happen.

“Get some gifts ready and send them to Joyce,” instructed Shane before he gulped down some water.

Silas replied, “Understood.”

“Where are Jacqueline and that woman?” asked Shane after he put the glass down.

Silas answered, “They're still in the hotel. I had someone lock them up.”

“Okay,” replied Shane while narrowing his eyes. However, he didn't mention anything about punishing the two of

them.

Silas didn't ask him as he knew that there was no way Shane would let them go that easily.

There was something Silas didn't understand, though. Why must Jacqueline set herself on a path of self-

destruction?

She might not have Mr. Shane as her lover, but at least she had him as a brother. Isn't that good enough?

With Mr. Shane as her protective brother, she could have pretty much done whatever she wanted in J City. I

honestly don't know what's gotten into her head. Of all the things to do, she chose to scheme against Mr. Shane.

And now, things have spiraled out of control. Mr. Shane is infuriated and doesn't care about her anymore.

Thinking about all that got Shane to sigh.

“You may leave,” said Shane as he closed his eyes and waved dismissively.

Silas murmured in response before he turned around and left.

After Silas left, Shane opened his eyes and picked up his phone to call Natalie.

It was late at night for Shane, but it wasn't time for bed yet.

Natalie picked up the call in no time and sounded worried when she said, “Shane, you're up. Are you okay?”

A warm feeling filled Shane's heart upon hearing the woman he loved asking about his wellbeing. His expression

was gentle when he replied, “Yeah, I'm up. I'm fine now. How about you?”

“I'm fine, too,” answered Natalie with a smile.

Shane swallowed hard and apologized, “I'm so sorry for making you worry about me.”

“Hmph. You know, the incident really got to me. When I first saw the photo, I got so angry that my abdomen hurt.

Fortunately, I thought it through later on and realized that there is no way you'd do something like this,” said Natalie

as she feigned anger by punching the air.

Shane leaned back and commented, “I never expected Jacqueline to be capable of doing something like this.”

“She was probably worked up.”

“Huh?”

Hearing how clueless the guy was made Natalie purse her lips as she said, “Do you remember the argument we got

into earlier? Jacqueline spoke to me back then and kept hinting that we should get a divorce.”

“I didn't know that,” replied Shane while frowning.

“I knew you were clueless.”

“Then why didn't you tell me earlier?” complained Shane.

Natalie stuck her tongue out before she replied, “I wanted to tell you, but you weren't listening at the time. After we

got back together, I forgot all about it.”

That rendered Shane completely speechless.

Natalie added, “When we were arguing, Jacqueline kept trying to make us get a divorce. However, we remained

married and even got back together afterward. That got her to panic and made her realize that there was no way

we'd separate. That is why she did the unthinkable.”

Shane frowned upon hearing that.

So that is the reason Jacqueline got the paparazzi involved. She wanted to use public opinion to achieve her goal.

Once the netizens realize that I've slept with Jacqueline, they would demand that I get a divorce and marry

Jacqueline. After all, what kind of man would take advantage of a woman and not take responsibility for it?

If I refuse to marry her, Thompson Group would be dragged through the mud. This has been Jacqueline's real plan

all along.

“Shane, are you still there?” asked Natalie when she heard nothing but silence for a while.

Shane's gaze shifted as he came back around and replied, “Yeah, I'm here.”

“Shane, we really should thank Joyce for this. If she hadn't thrown a wrench to Jacqueline's plan, you would've been

tricked already,” said Natalie with a straight face.
