Initially, she wanted to ask him if Jacqueline was still alive, but she thought that wouldn't be appropriate. Thus, she

rephrased her question.

Shane couldn't wait to figure out if Jacqueline was still alive. He looked at Silas, beckoning his assistant to tell him

everything he was aware of.

“Ms. Graham is fine. They manage to find her a few minutes after her attempt to commit suicide.”

As much as Shane held a grudge against Jacqueline, he heaved a sigh of relief when he found out she was just fine.

Natalie let out a long sigh of relief and added when she heard Silas' reply, “It's fine as long as she's fine!”

Actually, she couldn't be bothered by Jacqueline's condition, but she was afraid Shane would blame himself for

others' demise again.

After all, he was the one who had taken her into custody against her will.

Shane massaged his aching temples and announced, “I'll drop by and check on her. We'll talk again tonight.”

“Alright, just get going already.”

After Shane wrapped up the conversation with Natalie, he put his phone aside and marched out of his office.

Silas went after Shane and they made their way back to the Graham family's villa.

The moment Shane alighted from the car, the bodyguard, who happened to be the first to find out Jacqueline had

attempted suicide, approached Shane.

“Where is she?” the man asked while marching into the villa.

The bodyguard went after him and answered, “Ms. Graham has fallen into a deep slumber after finishing the

prescribed medicine.”

Shane nodded and asked, “How was her condition when you found out she had attempted suicide?”

Angst was written all over the bodyguard's face as he replied, “I-It was horrifying. On top of the puddle of blood on

the ground, the bathtub was dyed red. Ms. Graham placed her slit wrist inside the filled bathtub.”

Shane's expression darkened the moment he figured out everything. He then instructed, “Alright, I'll take over from

here. You may return to your position at once.”

“Yes!” The bodyguard took note of Shane's instruction and remained stagnant at the staircase.

Shane and Silas made their way up the stairs to Jacqueline's room.

Silas opened the door and showed Shane the way into the room. The moment Shane stepped into the room, he

saw Jacqueline on the bed.

The woman wasn't in a deep slumber as the bodyguard had proclaimed. Instead, she leaned against the headboard

with colors drained from her face.

As she had her eyes glued to the entrance, her eyes flickered the moment she saw Shane. She concealed her

emotions and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you here for me?”

Shane remained silent until he reached her. Staring at her bandaged wrist, he asked, “Why did you attempt

suicide?”

Jacqueline showed him her wrist and asked in a sarcastic manner, “Why? Don't you get it? I can't think of anything

else that can keep me going in life!”

“Oh?” Shane asked with his eyes narrowed to a slit, “Do you have a death wish?”

She put her hand aside and announced, “Yes! You're the one and only person I have in mind. You have always been

the one keeping me going on in life! You no longer cherish my presence and love me as much as you do! There's

nothing worth living for anymore!”

Smirking, Shane asked in return, “Is that the only thing you have in mind? Haven't you thought of living an

independent life? Don't you have anything in life that's worthy of your time and effort apart from getting into a

relationship with another man?”

“No! I just can't move on from you! Shane, stop trying to talk any senses into me and kill me! Once I'm dead, no

one is going to get in the way of your relationship with Ms. Smith!” Jacqueline's head drooped over her shoulders

after she made herself clear.

Shane asked callously, “Are you trying to threaten me?”

“No! I'm not trying to threaten you! I just can't live without you!” Halfway through her speech, the woman started

weeping.

She then added with her eyes brimming with tears, “Shane, can you stop holding a grudge against me? I won't try

anything silly in the future as long as you continue taking care of me as if I'm your sister!”

Shane shot daggers at Jacqueline and queried, “Do you think that's possible? I wasn't on my guard against you

because you once brought up something similar when you were in a relationship with Jackson! You're not going to

tell me you can't recall the things you have done, aren't you? What makes you think I'm going to believe you? Why

am I supposed to stop holding a grudge against someone who has been plotting against me?”
