Shane shook his head and said worriedly, “I don't know. Jacqueline suddenly stopped saying anything.”

“Did something happen to her?” Natalie gazed at his phone and made a bold guess.

Shane couldn't help but swallow his saliva, worrying that what she said might be right. As he was about to say something, they heard a voice again over the phone. Nevertheless, it wasn't Jacqueline but another unfamiliar woman who said, “Hello, Mr. Thompson, are you still there?”

“Yes, I'm here. Who are you?” Shane immediately put the phone near his ear again and questioned in a deep voice.

Shane was startled. “What? Did Jacqueline pass out?”
