Jane was secretly pleased. She had been so engrossed in dealing with Jade these past few days that she had forgotten to report this matter to Claude and the others.

With that in mind, she grabbed the phone and exclaimed excitedly without waiting for the other end to speak, "Grandpa, I've successfully completed the task.

"Mark must be frantically worried now, and it won't be long before Yvonne holds him accountable!"

"It's good that it's been taken care of. You should find some time to return to the manor ..." Claude coughed forcefully several times, and his voice became weak.

"I'm currently in the hospital. I hope you can come and keep me company."

Jane was taken aback. "What happened to you? Why are you in the hospital?"

"I … I slipped and fell a few days ago … I'm in great discomfort. Please come back soon." It was the first time Claude had lied to Jane, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

However, having grown up by Claude's side, Jane knew him like the back of her hand.
