This was the same reason why the Garcia family couldn’t properly go headfirst against the Gunn family. The only reason why the Garcia family finally started getting back at the Gunn family was that one of the Gunn family members made fun of one of the Garcia family’s young daughters. The financial support that Shane provided was also reason enough for the Garcia family to stop holding back.
Still, Silas had no sympathy for the Gunn family.
The younger generations of the Gunn family had done too many despicable things. It was also ridiculous that the older Gunn family members, who were supposed to be wiser, still made the mistake of taking Jacqueline’s side.
“Two or three months?” Shane murmured to himself.
Natalie’s competition would roughly end then.
The timing isn’t too bad. This way, she would be able to enjoy watching Jacqueline and the Gunn family go behind bars.
That would be my present to her.
“Keep an eye on Jacqueline for me. Don’t let her die. If anything happens, just call me,” Shane said in a deep voice.
Silas nodded. “Understood.”
After the call, Shane picked up his wine glass and walked into his room.
He paused when he heard the sound of running water coming from the shower. A dark expression glinted in his eyes.
After placing the glass on his bedside table, he walked toward the bathroom.
Since the bathroom wasn’t locked, Shane walked in with perfect ease.
Natalie was standing under the rushing water, which masked the sound of Shane’s footsteps.
She only realized that Shane was in the room when he snaked his arms around her waist. Whipping her head around, she glared at the man. “You scared me.”
Shane simply chuckled shamelessly and bent his head to nibble on the back of her neck.
He didn’t bite hard enough to hurt her, but it did make her feel ticklish.
Natalie couldn’t help but shrink away from Shane’s biting. “That’s enough, let go of me. I haven’t finished showering.”
Shane let go of her neck and grazed his teeth on her earlobe instead. In a raspy voice, he whispered, “Go ahead.”
His meaning was clear enough. You can take your shower and I can continue my fun. I won’t get in the way.
