The light in her eyes dimmed.
Sean nodded. “That’s right. I knew you were the one who saved Shane. And you like him. I can help
you win him, but in return, you have to do something for me. How is it? This deal isn’t all that bad?”
She was slightly persuaded, hearing he could help her win Shane.
She swallowed a lump in her throat then stared fixedly at Sean. “Are you serious?”
“Of course, I don’t have a good relationship with him, so there’s something I can’t do by myself. But
you, you’re different. You’re his savior. If you ask for what I want, he might just give it to you. Also, I can
help you get Shane,” Sean coerced.
Lucy was reminded of Natalie, the woman she met with ethereal beauty.
The thought of her elegant vibe, the way the people around her addressed her, and her appearance
had filled Lucy with envy.
I want to live her life.
At that thought, Lucy clenched her fists and inhaled a deep breath as though she had decided. She
finally nodded her head. “Deal. I promise to help you do what you want, and in return, you have to help
me get Shane.”
“Wonderful!” Sean snapped his finger contentedly.
Lucy looked at him. “What do you want me to do exactly?”
“That’s not urgent at the moment. I’ll contact you with the details later on. What’s important now is you
need to leave this town, go into the city, and search for Shane. Tell him you want to work in Thompson
Group,” he said as light reflected off his glasses.
Lucy nodded as she contemplated. “All right, I can do that.”
“This is my number.” Sean handed her a business card with smiley eyes.
Lucy reached for the card and gave it a once over.
“You can call me if you have any problems, but don’t reveal my identity,” Sean warned her with
narrowed eyes.
At his warning, Lucy realized Sean wasn’t a good person. She began to regret agreeing so quickly.
But there’s no room for regret. This man isn’t a good person, so if I want to go back on my words and
break off the deal, I don’t know what he’ll do to me.
So for the sake of Shane and the life I want to live, I can only walk the path I had chosen.
Lucy tightened her grip on the card with a look of determination.
Seeing her expression, Sean adjusted his glasses, then spun around and left.
When he got back to the car, Jacqueline asked with a dark look. “So you’re really going to push that
woman to Shane?”
Discerning the jealousy and murderous intent she had for Lucy, Sean curled his lips into a smile. “Of
course, but she’s just a distraction for him. There’s no way she will ever be with him because he won’t
even look at her and she has no right to be with him. However, she’s a prime candidate to wreak his
relationship with Natalie.”
Jacqueline’s expression lightened up at his words.
Sean joked, “If you’re unhappy about it, you can undergo cosmetic surgery to look like her then
substitute her to return to Shane’s side.”
Jacqueline bit her lip. “You think I haven’t thought of that? But I’ve consulted a doctor, and he told me
that my body can’t handle such a major surgery.”
When I woke up from the coma, the doctor had also told me I could only live for another ten years at
most. That goes to show how terrible my body’s condition is.
If I go ahead with the plastic surgery, I won’t be leaving the operation table alive.
“There’s no choice then. You can merely stare as another woman prance around in front of Shane,”
Sean taunted.
Jacqueline’s expression turned crazed. “When Lucy has lost her worth, give her to me. I’ll get rid of her
myself.”
“Sure.” Sean lowered his eyes, shielding the shadow in his eyes.
Meanwhile, in the hospital.
Natalie was helping Shane with physiotherapy in the physiotherapy ward.
