While she was doing so, everyone in the conference room stood up and applauded her. Even the live
stream was flooded with congratulatory messages.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline watched the live stream feeling envious and jealous at the same time. “Ms.
Natalie is really awesome!”
Before her accident, she would also receive the same amount of applause after her piano
competitions. In fact, the reception she received would be even raucous than that.

Shane didn't utter a word. Instead, he furrowed his eyebrows as if he was deep in thought.
When Jacqueline noticed his response, she couldn't help but ask, “Shane, what's wrong?”
“I'm just thinking about the person who bribed those two,” Shane replied, massaging his temples.
Jacqueline's eyes sparkled briefly but she quickly recovered her composure. “It was probably Ms. Jasmine's scheme
in preventing Ms. Natalie from winning the competition.”
“Or perhaps, there is more than meets the eye.” Shane narrowed his eyes.
Jacqueline's smile gradually faded. “Shane, what do you plan to do? Can it be that you're planning to help Ms.
Natalie find out who it is?”
Shane didn't comment but that was exactly what he had in mind.
Jacqueline lowered her gaze to hide the frustration in her eyes. “So what happens if you find out? What will you do
to that person?”
“Hmm?” Shane squinted his eyes. “Why do you want to know?”
“I'm just curious, that's all.” Jacqueline waved her hands with a chuckle.
Shane remarked, “That person tried to hurt her. Hence, it's up to her how she wants to deal with it.”
“Shane, you really do seem to have feelings for her.” Jacqueline's smile melted away.

She took a deep breath. “In that case, have you ever considered that your concern for her has made
her a target?”
Shane's pupils contracted as he gave her a thoughtful look. “Why do you think that?”
Jacqueline stared back at him with an indifferent expression. “I'm just randomly guessing. Anyway,
let's drop this and continue watching the competition. Ms. Natalie seems to have something to say.”
She pointed to the live stream and changed the topic.
