Shane calmly uttered, “My wife and I will still be happy without your blessings.”

Jackson remarked with a smile. “Okay, okay. I've spoken too much. All right, I still have some procedures to complete. I'll hang up now.”

Shane hummed in response.

Jackson then hung up the call.

Shane looked at the screen that had returned to the menu tab and casually threw his phone on the desk. Jackson's departure did not have a huge impact on him.

Everyone had their own life. Jackson chose to be a traveling doctor for Jacqueline. Shane would not advise Jackson or try to influence his decision since it was his choice.

His friendship with Jackson had thus officially ended as of this point.

Then, Shane messaged his temple, stood up, and headed toward the balcony.

He pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket as he got to the balcony. Shaking one out, he lit it using his lighter.

Jackson's farewell was not something that he was concerned about.

Sean was the one he was concerned about.

In truth, he had no idea what Sean was fleeing from.

Sam was dead, and Sean's mother had now gone to live in seclusion abroad.

It made little sense if Sean had been diligently trying to escape because of Wells Properties and Natalie.

According to what he knew about Sean, he did not enjoy being hunted by others. On the contrary, he liked to take the initiative to strike.

Hence, Sean would have taken action several times if his target had always been Natalie and Wells Properties.

However, Sean had remained hidden in the shadows and had not taken any action apart from telling Stanley the whereabouts of the Rivers family. Hence, Shane could not understand it.

He felt that Sean was planning something.

Of course, I will stop Sean from achieving his goal no matter what he has planned. I will crush all his plans!

Shane's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were frighteningly chilly.

On the other side, Natalie and Lina had arrived at the competition hall.

As soon as they entered, a staff approached them and said, “Hello, Ms. Smith, Ms. Cohen.”

“What's the matter?” Lina spoke first, looking at the staff.

The staff nodded and explained, “The event organizers have instructed us to let the judges know that today's competition has been called off, and they need you to go to the conference room for a meeting.”

“The competition has been called off?”

“A meeting?”

Lina and Natalie spoke at the same time.

The staff murmured in acknowledgment, “That's right.”
