Chapter 913


    Perhaps I was truly wrong this time, Jacksonmented.


    “Mr. Shane,” Ss 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.


    Ss 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.” Ss 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 nce.


    Giving a light cough, Ss 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 copse 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 thepetition 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


    coboration 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.


    Ss 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 inte. 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 cidly as he


    lowered his eyes.


    Ss 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 epted 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 urred 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 vi in disguise.


    In other words, it was the vi 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 vi, she lifted her head slightly and stared at the resplendent modern vi


    before her eyes. Envy flooded her like a tidal wave.


    The vi was a gift from David back when Shane inherited Thompson Group twelve years ago.


    Besides, it was the number-one vi in J City.

    Afterying 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 ept. She initially thought that her collusion with


    Sean would seed in fracturing Shane and Natalie''s rtionship, 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 bing Mrs. Thompson woulde


    true.
