Perhaps I was truly wrong this time, Jackson lamented.

“Mr. Shane,” Silas greeted when he saw Shane striding up to the elevator. He had been waiting for him there.

“Deploy men to the various airports, train stations, and the like in J City. Jacqueline must be found,” Shane ordered

tersely as he stepped into the elevator.

Silas nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood.”

“Also, keep a close eye on the Gunn family. If she doesn't leave J City via flight, train, or the like, the Gunn family

may send a car to pick her up. Inform me at once if there's any movement from the Gunn family.”

“Understood.” Silas nodded.

Weary, Shane massaged his temples.

“What about Dr. Baker? Should I also have someone keep an eye on him?”

“What do you think?” Shane shot him a sidelong glance.

Giving a light cough, Silas muttered, “I got it. I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on him.”

Shane grunted in lieu of words, his expression grave.

The Gunn family was on the verge of collapse since the Garcia family was almost done collecting evidence of Mr.

Gunn having covered up for Jacqueline. The only thing left was for Natalie to return from the competition and

personally put Jacqueline into prison to pay the price for her two murder attempts.

But never had he thought that Jackson would be so foolish as to cave in and let Jacqueline escape just because she

turned on the waterworks.

It's actually not surprising that he would do such a thing since he loves her deeply. However, he's also my best

friend, so it's a betrayal for him to have done that. Thus, he should also bear the consequences of his actions.

At that thought, Shane's eyes narrowed a fraction. “I remember that Thompson Group brokered a collaboration

with the hospitals under Baker Family a year ago, yes?”

“Yes. There was financial turmoil in the medical field back then, and many big hospitals faced a shortage of funds.

The same went for the hospitals under the Baker Family. Due to your friendship with Dr. Baker, you took the

initiative to fund the hospitals and helped them through the crisis.”

“How much funds were allocated back then?” Shane asked.

Silas thought for a moment before answering, “About five hundred million, to be paid in twelve installments since a

one-time payment might cause the hospital's funds to inflate. Eight installments have been paid, so there are four

installments left.”

“Then, inform the finance department to cancel the rest of the payment,” Shane ordered placidly as he lowered his

eyes.

Silas knew that he was taking revenge against Jackson for having freed Jacqueline, so he nodded. “Understood.”

Shane said nothing further.

Shortly after, Jackson learned that Thompson Group had cut off the rest of the funding. He merely smiled bitterly.

He, too, knew that Shane was warning him. Hence, he accepted it without any protest.

Fortunately, the hospitals under Baker Family were all stable at present, so they could still survive without the rest

of the funding as long as they budgeted well.

But I just don't know whether he'll still take further action against the hospitals under Baker Family in the future.

Also, I wonder what he'll do to Jacqueline when he catches her.

As that thought occurred to him, Jackson took out his cell phone and gave Jacqueline a call.

However, the number was no longer in service.

Unease pervaded him at once.

Where exactly did she go that she has even canceled her number?

Right that moment, Jacqueline arrived at Thompson villa in disguise.

In other words, it was the villa where Shane, Natalie, and the two children lived.

She was wearing a long windbreaker and a bucket hat on her head that covered half her face, obscuring her

countenance.

Standing in front of the villa, she lifted her head slightly and stared at the resplendent modern villa before her eyes.

Envy flooded her like a tidal wave.

The villa was a gift from David back when Shane inherited Thompson Group twelve years ago. Besides, it was the

number-one villa in J City.

After laying eyes on it, she had been hankering to move in as the mistress of the house. But never had she thought

that the person who did so was ultimately Natalie.

While she had also stayed for some time, she did so as a guest.

And such a disparity was something she could never accept. She initially thought that her collusion with Sean would

succeed in fracturing Shane and Natalie's relationship, leading to their divorce. Then, she would have taken

advantage of the situation to sleep with Shane and set things in stone so that he would have no choice but to marry

her. With that, her dream of becoming Mrs. Thompson would come true.
