Chapter 833


    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 Ss, 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 tomit 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 Ss’ 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 me


    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.


    Ss went after Shane and they made their way back to the Graham family’s vi.


    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 vi.


    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 ced 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 Ss made their way up the stairs to Jacqueline’s room.


    Ss 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 proimed. 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 rtionship 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 rtionship 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 simr when you were in a rtionship 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?”
