Shane stalked over to Jackson. “Where is Jacqueline?”

Lowering his eyes, Jackson murmured, “Please have a seat, and we’ll talk.”

“I asked you where Jacqueline is!” Shane kicked the desk so that that it screeched across the floor.

“Ah, what a great answer!” Shane gave a bark of sardonic laughter. “Jackson, I want to know why you did that.”

“Jacqueline contacted me and begged me to save her. She threatened to commit suicide if I didn’t agree to help her. Shane, you know she would’ve had no qualms doing so, considering her extreme personality.” Jackson looked at him beseechingly.

However, Shane merely snorted in response. “I don’t deny that, but I’ve already removed all dangerous objects from her room. As such, she couldn’t have done so.”
