Shane was aware of that as well. He chuckled and replied, “I know. I’ve already ordered Silas to work on it. I’m sure she’ll call you in delight after receiving her gifts.”
“Okay,” said Natalie with a smile as she nodded.
She didn’t ask what present he got for Joyce because, given Shane’s wealth, the gift was bound to be extremely luxurious.
After that, the two of them changed topics and avoided discussing that particular matter.
After all, it was a terrible ordeal, and thinking about it would just upset both of them.
Their call lasted for over thirty minutes.
Shane had just put his phone away when someone opened the door to his room. The next moment, Jackson entered and greeted, “Shane.”
Shane gave a slight nod.
“Are you feeling better?” asked Jackson as he closed the door.
“Yeah,” murmured Shane.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know that Jacqueline would do something like this,” said Jackson as he looked apologetically at Shane.
Shane shifted his gaze to Jackson and said calmly, “I know.”
Since Jacqueline wanted to con me, she would not have told Jackson. After all, he would have to be a lunatic not to stop her if he knew that she was going to cheat on him. Hence, she had to keep everything a secret to ensure the success of her plan.
Jackson sighed a breath of relief and said, “I’m glad you’re aware of it.”
Jackson was worried that Shane would suspect him of playing a role in any of that.
“By the way,” said Jackson as if he had just recalled something. “Jacqueline and I broke up.”
Shane wasn’t surprised by that, merely murmuring a reply.
It would be even more surprising if he stays with her after all that she’s done.
Jackson was at a loss for words when he saw how calm Shane was.
He remained quiet for a while before asking, “Shane, how will you deal with Jacqueline?”
