Chapter 480
Carlisle even mentioned in the statement that Shane was a grown-up who could bear the consequences of his actions. As such, he was officially washing his hands off Shane and wanted nothing to do with him anymore. After reading the statement, I could only conclude that Carlisle was truly hurt by Shane’s actions this time. He must have given up on Shane for good.
Sasha was grinning from ear to ear as she scanned the statement. “Shane will be in a living hell now that his father has disowned him!”
“He’s already in a living hell as we speak,” Eric whispered. “His life has been ruined since Mr. Winslow kicked him out of the family. Despite having declared her love for him, Jenny-who was supposedly pregnant-dumped Shane after his father cut him off. “She then told him she faked the pregnancy and had been lying to him all along. He didn’t want to believe her, so he grabbed her by the shoulders and asked her why she had told him she loved him.
“Jenny swatted his hands off her shoulders and declared she never loved him. She only told him that because he was bankrolling her luxurious lifestyle, but she never meant it!”
Sasha was beside herself with glee. “Serves him right!” However, she faltered when she caught the sympathetic look Eric gave her. “What is it?”
Eric said slowly, “I heard from a friend that Shane has been thinking about you since Jenny dumped him.”
Sasha blinked. “Why would he think about me?” Was he thinking about making trouble for Annalise again? Her head throbbed at the idea.
Amused, Eric elaborated, “Well, he said he realized he had missed out on a wonderful woman after Jenny betrayed him. And now, he wants to get back together with said wonderful woman.”
Snorting, Sasha asked, “What kind of fantasy world is he living in? How could he have missed out on me when he and I were never together in the first place?” She raised her voice as she emphasized, “He’s delusional!”
Eric patted her shoulder and said gravely, “Now that he’s got nothing better to do, he has all the time in the world to harass you.”
Sasha could have bawled at that.
She wailed, “Oh, crap! You’ve got to

be kidding Shouldn’t he be harassing Jenny for breaking up with him instead of hounding me? Do Hook like I’m into picking up trash? The guy’s insane!”
She rose and dusted herself off even though her outfit was impeccable. She gave me a look of mute despair “I was going to grab lunch with you, but I fear he may ambush me the moment I step out of the office building, so let’s put that plan off for now.
“The last thing I want to do is run into him. I’ll just eat lunch in the office and stick to where I’m safest…”
Sasha didn’t even bid me goodbye before bolting for the office.
I laughed as I watched her leave, unable to hide my amusement any longer.
Eric seemed to be in a lighter mood now that he had gotten everything off his chest. He stood up and said, “Jessica has been putting you while marketing her work. She claimed that her company’s sales numbers have been surpassing our months’ worth of revenue in a matter of days. Content Belongs to FindNovel
“A lot of our readers have heard that her work is better than the comics we publish, so they switched up on us.”
I wasn’t perturbed by this shift. I couldn’t expect readers to stick to one comic at a time, after all. However, we had to retaliate before Jessica thought her little jabs could get to us.
I said calmly, “If fame is what she wants at our expense, we’ll just have to return the favor.”
Eric understood where I was coming from and gave me a relieved look. “I know what to do.”
Before Eric turned to go into the elevator, he glanced over his shoulder at Annalise.
