“Screw off,” Natalie huffed, feeling both amused and slightly annoyed by Joyce's comment. “You're the one who

can't do it.”

“Do what? I'm not a guy, so it doesn't matter. It's different for Mr. Shane. Come on, answer me. How was it?” Joyce

nudged Natalie's shoulder with a devilish glint in her eyes.

Natalie walked into her office. “Nothing happened.”

“Nothing at all?” Joyce said in shock. “But you're newlyweds! How could Mr. Shane bear it?”

Natalie sat down and started massaging her nose bridge as she replied, “He went to the hospital to visit Jacqueline

last night.”

“What?” Joyce was clearly taken aback. “So he spent the night with Jacqueline?”

Natalie hummed in response.

“But why?” Joyce asked in confusion.

Natalie turned her computer on and started telling Joyce about everything that happened last night.

Joyce slammed her palm on the desk after hearing Natalie's story. “What the hell? How can she be so shameless?

She probably got herself sick on purpose to get Mr. Shane's attention so she could separate the two of you!”

She knew Jacqueline's tricks well. When Stanley got hospitalized, Jacqueline found plenty of excuses to come and

visit him, so Joyce naturally came to know Jacqueline. She was also well aware of the relationship between

Jacqueline and Shane.

Joyce was already fully convinced that Jacqueline had done it on purpose.

“Whatever. I don't care if she did it on purpose or not. Let's just leave it behind us,” Natalie said with a wave of her

hand, clearly trying to change the topic.

Joyce pouted unhappily. “How can you just let it go so easily? She's clearly trying to mock you. She's trying to show

you how important she is to Mr. Shane! I mean, she managed to get him to leave you to visit her on your wedding

night! D*mn! What was Mr. Shane thinking? It was your wedding night, for goodness sake!”

Natalie leaned against her chair with a sigh. “They've known each other since they were kids and are also god-

siblings. It would be even weirder if he didn't visit Jacqueline when she was on the brink of death. So I could

understand why he felt the need to visit her.”

“You're understanding it but Jacqueline clearly isn't. Trust me, this won't be the last time. She definitely has more

tricks up her sleeves to snatch Mr. Shane away from you,” Joyce said definitively with her arms crossed.

Natalie's gaze darkened. “I know. That's why I warned him last night never to do that again, and he also agreed to

it.”

“Hopefully, he keeps that promise,” Joyce said with a shrug. She clearly wasn't entirely convinced by Shane's

promise.

Natalie could tell and simply pursed her lips, remaining silent.

After all, even she didn't fully trust Shane.

Would he really be willing to stay with me no matter what happened to Jacqueline next time?

Joyca poutad unhappily. “How can you just lat it go so aasily? Sha's claarly trying to mock you. Sha's trying to show

you how important sha is to Mr. Shana! I maan, sha managad to gat him to laava you to visit har on your wadding

night! D*mn! What was Mr. Shana thinking? It was your wadding night, for goodnass saka!”

Natalia laanad against har chair with a sigh. “Thay'va known aach othar sinca thay wara kids and ara also god-

siblings. It would ba avan wairdar if ha didn't visit Jacqualina whan sha was on tha brink of daath. So I could

undarstand why ha falt tha naad to visit har.”

“You'ra undarstanding it but Jacqualina claarly isn't. Trust ma, this won't ba tha last tima. Sha dafinitaly has mora

tricks up har slaavas to snatch Mr. Shana away from you,” Joyca said dafinitivaly with har arms crossad.

Natalia's gaza darkanad. “I know. That's why I warnad him last night navar to do that again, and ha also agraad to

it.”

“Hopafully, ha kaaps that promisa,” Joyca said with a shrug. Sha claarly wasn't antiraly convincad by Shana's

promisa.

Natalia could tall and simply pursad har lips, ramaining silant.

Aftar all, avan sha didn't fully trust Shana.

Would ha raally ba willing to stay with ma no mattar what happanad to Jacqualina naxt tima?

Deep down, she knew the answer was no. If it came to a matter of Jacqueline's life and death, Shane would have no

way of really leaving her to die alone. Of course, if she were in Shane's position, she would do the same. That was

why she could understand him.

Just when she was in deep thought, her phone rang.

Joyce glanced at it and her mouth twitched. “Speak of the devil. Nat, it's Jacqueline.”

At the mention of Jacqueline's name, Natalie hurriedly looked over. Indeed, Jacqueline's name was flashing on the

screen.

“I don't even know why she's calling, but I bet it's not going to be anything good,” Joyce huffed coldly.

Natalie smiled and picked up the call, putting Jacqueline on speakerphone. “Hey, Ms. Graham?”

“Ms. Smith, I'm not bothering you, am I?” Jacqueline's frail voice sounded through the speakers. She seemed even

weaker than usual, as if she would pass out right after speaking. Joyce could feel goosebumps on her arms at

Jacqueline's performance.

She hated nothing more than exaggerated weak and breathy voices. Look at you! Acting and trying to get people's

attention on purpose! she thought with a scoff.

If there wasn't the possibility that Jacqueline could actually be weak right now, Joyce would have snatched over the

phone and yelled at her to stop acting all delicate.

“No. What's wrong?” Natalie asked with a faint smile.
