Megan, Jeanne, and Kara looked intrigued when they saw Shaun grabbing Audrey's hand. Their eyes darted between Nolan and Audrey.
"Mr. Baxter, you can join our conversation. Besides, you definitely have a say in this.
"If I remember correctly, your family has many connections in the medical field. Are you close to anyone from the psychiatry hospital in Bellington? I might need your help with something, Mr. Baxter," Megan asked.
Upon hearing that, Shaun narrowed his eyes and smiled. "That's nothing. Just tell me, Ms. Turner. What's it? Is there anyone who needs to receive treatment at a psychiatric hospital?
"Don't worry. I'll have someone take care of things."
Megan pointed at Nolan and grinned. "Who else can it be? It's Nolan.
"I wonder what's wrong with him. He seems to have lost his mind recently. Sometimes he even thought his imagination was real. Don't you think this is terrifying?"
When Shaun heard that, he knew Megan and the others had started targeting Nolan. He laughed and replied, "Oh? Really? That's impossible. Mr. Greene seems fine to me. He doesn't look like he has a mental illness. Why is he so badly affected? What has he done?"
Kara quickly said, "Shaun, I know. Nolan must be crazy. If you knew what he said just now, you'd surely laugh your head off."
She addressed Shaun by his name without hesitation, and she seemed proud.
Meanwhile, Audrey turned pale when Shaun deliberately tugged at her hand just now. When she heard Kara calling Shaun by his name, she couldn't help but shiver slightly.
She thought she was ready, but she still felt like escaping when she faced Nolan.
"You can easily make Jeanne rise to the top with just a phone number. Even Ms. Turner has to butter her up. Ha ha! Nolan, are you going to say that even my family can't reach that level and that we even have to bow down to her?"
Jeanne stood there and laughed along, but she didn't find it funny at all. She thought it was awkward.
Everyone had been mentioning her name and saying that she would make a significant advance in her life. It was true that they were laughing at Nolan, but at the same time, they were also laughing at Jeanne.
Weren't they making fun of how Jeanne would never get to that level in her life?
At this moment, Jeanne was burning in fury. However, she dared not vent it on others. It was Nolan who started everything.
Nolan looked at Shaun apathetically and gave a slight nod. "You're right. As long as Jeanne makes the call, even your family has to act at her pleasure whenever you do something. It's a fact. Is it funny?"
