Not to mention, with her husband by her side, I don’t think I can get away with provoking her.
Meanwhile, Natalie got in the car and was staring out the window.
Shane was wearing his seatbelt as he queried, “Who are you looking for?”
“Sal. She still hasn’t come out yet,” she answered.
Just as Shane was about to say something, Natalie’s phone suddenly rang.
“It’s from Sal.” Natalie quickly picked up the phone. “Hello?”
“Nat, I’m not going back tonight.”
Natalie was baffled. “What? Why?”
“I received a job asking me to do a shoot for a magazine just now.”
“Oh, is that so? Okay then. Just be careful, yeah?”
“I will. Bye.” Sally hung up the phone.
Natalie put down her phone before uttering, “Let’s go. Sal isn’t coming home with us tonight.”
Shane nodded his head nonchalantly and started up the car.
He wanted to tell Natalie that he was the one who had given the job to Sally, but he refrained from doing so in the end.
I don’t want Sally to interrupt our family time.
Shortly after, they arrived at the villa.
Knowing beforehand that Shane and his family were coming back, the housekeeper had already prepared dinner for them.
After they had dinner, Natalie tucked the two of the kids to bed. She then headed to the master bedroom.
When she entered, Shane was talking to someone on the phone in his pajamas.
Natalie shot a glance at him before going to the bathroom to change into her pajamas.
“How’s her condition now?” Shane asked over the phone.
Silas replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Shane. We are keeping a close eye on Ms. Graham. We’ll make sure she doesn’t try anything suicidal. However, she isn’t doing too well mentally ever since we started monitoring her. She hasn’t even eaten anything today.”
“She hasn’t eaten anything today?” Shane squinted his eyes.
“Yeah. According to her maid, Ms. Graham is deliberately fasting. We aren’t sure if she’s doing it to spite you or if it’s because of her mental health.”
It could be both for all I know.
Shane let out a sneer. “If she doesn’t want to eat, then let her starve.”
“Mr. Shane, are you sure?” Silas was stupefied. “What if she starves to death?”
“That won’t happen. The nutrient fluids will keep her alive,” Shane replied callously.
Many patients in hospitals who can’t eat rely on such nutrient fluid to keep them alive.
With that said, Jacqueline will be fine.
After hearing Shane’s response, Silas was taciturn.
Mr. Shane is really on another level.
A while later, Silas finally replied, “I understand.”
Shane took a sip of his red wine. “Give a call to Jackson later and tell him to prepare a ward for Jacqueline in case she passes out. The nutrient fluids in the hospital will be able to keep her alive.”
“Okay,” Silas responded.
Shane then continued on, “By the way, how’s the Gunn family doing?”
“The Gunn family has been under the pressure of the Garcia family lately. I believe the Gunn family will lose its position as one of the strongest families in the capital soon. When that happens, the Garcia family will hand over the evidence Mr. Gunn has on Ms. Graham to you.”
This is what you get for having an incompetent son, Mr. Gunn.
Ever since Mr. Gunn’s son had taken over his position, everything started going awry for the Gunn family. Since all the descendants of the Gunn family were feckless and incompetent, Mr. Gunn wasn’t able to find a worthy successor to manage the family.
After Mr. Gunn retired, the Gunn family’s power and influence spiraled downhill. If it wasn’t for the respect the other powerful families had for Mr. Gunn, the Gunn family would’ve been eliminated a long time ago.
