Back then, Natalie was overwhelmed by that photo and didn’t have time to consider the matter properly. That was why she got so angry.
But she was conscious while being taken to the hospital, so she had time to analyze the situation. What are the chances of Shane cheating on me?
There should be none. Shane already knows what kind of a woman Jacqueline is, so there is no way he’d sleep with her. That means it’s all a trick.
“Yes, Nat. You are right. Mr. Shane didn’t cheat on you. It was all part of Jacqueline’s scheme. She…”
Joyce shared everything she did after receiving the photo.
Natalie was stunned when she heard about Joyce touching Jacqueline’s sensitive area. “Thank you for everything. You really drew the short straw this time,” she said amusedly.
“Tell me about it! This is such a huge sacrifice. My hands will never be clean again, and it’s going to rot,” complained Joyce a little as she stared at the hand that went inside Jacqueline earlier.
A warm and fuzzy feeling rose in Natalie’s heart.
Having her as my friend is the best thing that has ever happened to me in this lifetime.
“Thank you, Joyce. I will definitely repay your kindness once I get back. Didn’t you say that you wanted that Fanz bag? I’ll get it for you.”
Joyce’s eyes lit up instantly. She asked, “Really?”
Fanz was one of Thompson Group’s subsidiaries, so every single one of its products was extremely expensive. In fact, their prices were never under six digits.
The design that Joyce loved had been in circulation for over two years, but only ten bags were produced globally. Hence, many socialites wanted to get their hands on the bag but were unable to.
At that moment, only one last bag was available. It had been sitting in Fanz’s store for a while, and no one knew why it wasn’t sold.
“Yes, really,” replied Natalie as she nodded with a smile.
It turned out that Shane planned on giving Natalie that bag on her birthday.
Since Joyce did her such a huge favor, Natalie decided to give it to her instead.
“Oh my gosh! Thank you, Nat,” said Joyce while she jumped in excitement.
“You don’t have to thank me. Since you gave Shane and me such a huge helping hand, we should be thanking you instead. By the way, how is Shane now?” asked Natalie in a worried tone.
Joyce mentioned that Shane was drugged. I wonder if he’s okay.
Joyce shifted her attention to the room and replied, “We don’t know yet. Mr. Campbell already called the doctor over. Don’t worry. I will keep an eye on the matter for you. We will call you as soon as we get the result.”
“Okay,” replied Natalie as she forced a grin on her face.
After that, Joyce asked, “What about you, Nat? Sally said that you were hospitalized. Is everything alright now?”
“I’m fine now,” replied Natalie.
Joyce sighed a breath of relief and said, “I’m glad to hear that.”
The two friends chatted for a little while before they hung up.
However, Natalie was still worried about Shane.
Back in the country, Joyce put her phone away and took Shane to the hospital with Silas.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline was locked in the room as per Silas’ order.
She had gone overboard this time, so there was no way they would let her go.
Unfortunately, they needed Shane to wake up and decide how to deal with Jacqueline.
Jackson rushed over from home after hearing the news that Shane was hospitalized.
“What happened? How did Shane suddenly get hospitalized?” asked Jackson as he panted and grabbed Silas’ shoulder.
Jackson had just parted ways with Shane before he excused himself and left Jacqueline with Mr. Gunn.
Jackson thought that there was no point in staying there because Jacqueline didn’t want to introduce him as her boyfriend. Moreover, Mr. Gunn disliked the idea of Jackson hanging out with Jacqueline. He felt that Jackson’s handsome face and role as a doctor could not provide Jacqueline with the sense of security and the company she needed.
Hence, Jackson left in a fit of anger after being ignored by both Jacqueline and Mr. Gunn. As a result, he had no idea what happened next.
“Here’s the thing, Dr. Baker. Mr. Shane…” said Silas before he shared the entire story.
Jackson was stunned after hearing everything. It took him a while to come back around, and even then, he stumbled backward like he had just been hit.
