Chapter 913

Chapter 913Perhaps 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.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook“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.
