Perhaps I was truly wrong this time, Jackson lamented.
“Mr. Shane,” Silas greeted when he saw Shane striding up to the elevator. He had been waiting for him there.
“Deploy men to the various airports, train stations, and the like in J City. Jacqueline must be found,” Shane ordered tersely as he stepped into the elevator.
Silas nodded in acknowledgment. “Understood.”
“Understood.” Silas nodded.
Weary, Shane massaged his temples.
“What about Dr. Baker? Should I also have someone keep an eye on him?”
“What do you think?” Shane shot him a sidelong glance.
Giving a light cough, Silas muttered, “I got it. I’ll arrange for someone to keep an eye on him.”
Shane grunted in lieu of words, his expression grave.
The Gunn family was on the verge of collapse since the Garcia family was almost done collecting evidence of Mr. Gunn having covered up for Jacqueline. The only thing left was for Natalie to return from the competition and personally put Jacqueline into prison to pay the price for her two murder attempts.
But never had he thought that Jackson would be so foolish as to cave in and let Jacqueline escape just because she turned on the waterworks.
It’s actually not surprising that he would do such a thing since he loves her deeply. However, he’s also my best friend, so it’s a betrayal for him to have done that. Thus, he should also bear the consequences of his actions.
At that thought, Shane’s eyes narrowed a fraction. “I remember that Thompson Group brokered a collaboration with the hospitals under Baker Family a year ago, yes?”
“Yes. There was financial turmoil in the medical field back then, and many big hospitals faced a shortage of funds. The same went for the hospitals under the Baker Family. Due to your friendship with Dr. Baker, you took the initiative to fund the hospitals and helped them through the crisis.”
“How much funds were allocated back then?” Shane asked.
Silas thought for a moment before answering, “About five hundred million, to be paid in twelve installments since a one-time payment might cause the hospital’s funds to inflate. Eight installments have been paid, so there are four installments left.”
“Then, inform the finance department to cancel the rest of the payment,” Shane ordered placidly as he lowered his eyes.
