“Don't worry, madam. I know what to do.” With that said, Silas went to work on it.
Lina soon went out as well, and Sally became the only one keeping Natalie company.
Back home, Sean and Jacqueline were scowling at the peaceful scene on the internet.
“I never thought that those people at Thompson Group would have guessed what we were going to do. I never
thought that they would use a video to prove to the public that Shane isn't missing. He can't possibly really be
overseas instead of missing, right?” Jacqueline wondered out loud as she frowned.
Sean sneered. “Do you really think that's possible with the kind of person Shane is? We've set him up. Even if he's
alive and well, he won't be going overseas. Instead, he'll be in J City, searching for us to take revenge on us. That's
why I doubt this video is real.”
“The video is fake?” Jacqueline's eyes went wide in shock. “How can this be? The one in the video is clearly Shane.”
“Yes, but it doesn't mean that Shane said those words. Perhaps another way to put this would be that what we can
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthear from Shane in the video wasn't what he had been saying when he was recorded.” Sean narrowed his eyes.
Jacqueline gasped. “Do you mean that someone tampered with the audio track? So what we hear isn't what Shane
said at all. Someone faked Shane's voice to conceal the fact that Shane's missing.”
“Indeed.” Sean nodded. “The hacker who made this video must be someone skillful. They're much better with this
kind of thing than my subordinates. I wonder where Shane found this person.”
“Regardless, this person is a threat and trouble to us,” Jacqueline said grimly.
In a world of convenient information, hackers were like gods.
If Shane gets impatient and asks the hacker to hack into the satellite to look for us, we'll never be able to hide
anywhere.
Sean shared the same sentiment as her. “Don't worry. I know what to do. We'll have to find out who that hacker is
and get rid of them first.”
Meanwhile, at the small-town hospital.
Lucy had seen the news on the internet, as well as the video. Incredulity crashed through her for a long while
before she managed to recompose herself.
The man was identical to the one on the hospital bed beside her.
I never thought he'd be that important. I never thought he's the chairman of Thompson Group!
Most importantly, he's married with two kids!
At that moment, Lucy could hear her heart shattering.
I finally fell in love with someone, but he turns out to be a married man with two kids! Not to mention how grown
the two kids are!
It felt as if the world had closed in on her, and darkness enveloped her as misery filled her chest.
Why? Why must fate be so cruel to me?
I thought love has finally come for me, but in the end, it's only false hopes.
Right then, a nurse entered and interrupted Lucy's moment of misery. “Ms. Rivers, I'm here for the patient's
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnutrient injection.”
As Shane had not woken up for days, he was unable to take in any food. Therefore, his only way to get nutrients
was through intravenous drips.
Lucy sniffled before wiping her eyes. As she pulled herself together, she squeezed out a smile. “All right, go ahead.”
The nurse nodded and walked toward the bed. Then, she tore the packaging off the needle.
All of a sudden, she let out a sound of surprise.
Lucy promptly asked, “What's the matter?”
“This man looks a lot like the chairman of Thompson Group,” the nurse exclaimed as she studied Shane's face.
The more I look at him, the more he looks like that man.
No, wait. He has the exact same face as the man in that video.
Lucy's heart leaped to her throat as she wrung her hands tightly.
Oh no, oh no. I've been found out!
Will the nurse tell the others that Thompson Group's chairman is here?
The mere thought of the nurse telling others and making his family come to pick him up tightened Lucy's chest,
suffocating her.
