Jacqueline gaped at Shane's reply before she chuckled and added, “I guess you're right—I'm overly naïve for my
sake! I'm so sorry for letting you down, Shane!”
The moment she wrapped up her speech, she tried to tear off the bandage on her slit wrist with all her might.
As a result, blood gushed out of her wound and dyed the bandage crimson red.
Irked by Jacqueline's behavior, Shane's veins on his forehead bulged. He demanded hotly, “What exactly are you up
to again?”
“Leave me alone! I can't live a life without you! Thus, I'll be leaving you for good!”
Shane's wrath was written all over his face. He directed another question at Jacqueline. “Haven't you mentioned
you won't threaten me? What do you think you're doing now? Do you think I'll give in just because of this?”
She paused for a few seconds when she heard him. However, she started harming herself once again after she
returned to her senses.
Shane beckoned Silas to step in and stop Jacqueline when she was about to remove the bandage on her wrist.
Silas, who had remained silent throughout the entire session, stepped forward and rendered Jacqueline
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtunconscious with a powerful blow.
Up until the last second Jacqueline was conscious, she still couldn't believe Shane was no longer the easy target he
had always been.
After Silas rendered Jacqueline unconscious, he tucked her in and started bandaging her slit wrist.
Once he was done, he returned to his position and said, “Mr. Shane, I think Ms. Graham is trying to play the victim
again.”
Shane nodded and shared his point of view, “I'm well aware of that much.”
It was evident it was just one of her attempts to garner his attention. Otherwise, she had plenty of time and
methods to kill herself when he was still on his way there.
After all, the bodyguards wouldn't barge into her room for no reason. However, she had spent her time idly instead
of committing suicide for another time. Thus, it was safe to assume it was another show she had put on for Shane.
In spite of being aware that it was another one of her tricks, he couldn't afford to let anything happen to her.
Silas scratched his head his confusion. He asked, “Mr. Shane, what are we supposed to do if Ms. Graham continues
threatening you in a similar manner?”
A few moments of silence later, Shane instructed with his eyes narrowed to a slit, “Get another few maids over to
keep an eye on her twenty-four-seven! Also, substitute the furniture with inflatables! Nothing that's able of inflicting
injuries is allowed within the compound! Seal the balcony at once!”
Silas showed Shane a thumbs up and complimented him, “Mr. Shane, you're so brilliant!”
Shane marched in the direction of the entrance once Silas assured him that he would get everything done as soon
as possible.
Instead of going after Shane, Silas reached for his phone and got those capable of fulfilling Shane's instructions
over.
Shortly after Jacqueline regained consciousness, she noticed the change in her room. The maids that were next to
her bed did not go unnoticed by her either.
It only took her a short while to figure out those were Shane's doing to prevent her from harming herself again.
She felt a strong urge to take things out, but there wasn't anything else she was capable of anymore.
Time passed by in the blink of an eye. It was soon the weekend again.
Shane brought the children to the country Natalie's competition was held.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment the little ones alighted from the car, they dashed in the direction of the hall. Shane, who was right
behind them, went after them with a bright grin.
All of a sudden, Sharon brought herself to a halt and turned around, looking in Shane's direction. When she saw
that he was quite a distance away, she yelled, “Hurry up, Daddy!”
Shane's heart melted when he heard his daughter summoning him in a mellifluous tone. “Alright, I'm coming!”
A few minutes later, they showed up in the hall and made their way through the entrance after showing the
bodyguards their tickets.
Sharon and Connor held one another's hands and started surveying the surroundings.
The little girl asked her brother, “Connor, where's Mommy?”
Her brother shook his head and answered, “I have no idea!”
Sharon shrugged Connor off and returned to Shane's side. “Daddy, can you give Mommy a call and tell her we're
here? I miss her so much!” Shane caressed his daughter's head and assured, “We'll get to meet her in person
soon.”
He then proceeded to stop one of the staff and conversed with him in a foreign language. After he wrapped up their
conversation, the staff nodded and returned to the hall.
As there was still quite some time until the second round, Natalie gathered around with her fellow designers. They
caught up with one another over a cup of coffee.
