With that, Shane hung up the call. Before Natalie could ask, he turned and told her about their conversation.

She pursed her lips as the disdain she felt for Jacqueline intensified once Shane was done. However, she did not make any comments.

“Nat, this Jacqueline woman is so thick-skinned! I’m guessing she must be from a wealthy family since she’s friends with Mr. Shane. Yet, her mind is full of men. To add on, she brought upon this disaster on herself all for the sake of a man. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s a shame,” Sally blurted.
