Chapter 1268 Killer Found
After sitting down in the living room, Natalie told Joyce and the others all about her experience.
Shane and Connor left for the study to discuss something while Sharon sat in Natalie’s lap and listened to her story.
Hearing the part about Natalie injuring Sean with a knife when he tried to rape her got Joyce all excited. She slammed her hand against the table and leapt to her feet as she exclaimed, “Well done, Nat! That was awesome! You did the right thing to that shameless scumbag!”
“Exactly!” Sally nodded.
Lina, on the other hand, was a little concerned. “That may be true, but Nat might not be able to fend him off if he decided to fight back. Nat said it herself that she didn’t have it in her to stab someone. She only gave Sean a cut on the arm, and that isn’t enough to deter him at all. He could’ve easily overpowered and subdued Nat if he wanted to. I think he only backed away because he chose to let her go.”
Everyone fell silent after hearing that.
“You’re right. Now that I think about it, he did intend on letting me go. I wouldn’t have been able to make it out unscathed otherwise,” Natalie said with a sigh after a brief pause.
Sally pouted. “Even so, he did abduct Nat and tried to keep her prisoner on that island forever! He is still a bad person!”
Natalie chuckled. “Fair enough!”
“What happened after that?” Joyce asked after taking a sip of her tea.
Natalie went on to tell them about everything else that happened, including the part where Shane arrived and caught Jacqueline.
Joyce applauded happily when she heard Jacqueline had her legs broken. “Hahaha! Serves her right! Serves her right!”
“Yeah!” Mrs. Wilson nodded.
Even Sharon’s eyes lit up with excitement when she heard that.
She was still too young to understand the seriousness of having one’s legs broken, but she felt happy knowing that the woman who slammed her onto the ground had been punished.
“By the way, Nat, where’s Jacqueline now? Did you guys bring her back?” Joyce asked.
Natalie nodded. “Of course we did, but we haven’t brought her over just yet. She should be arriving tomorrow.”
She had left with Shane shortly after the cruise ship docked at the pier.
Jacqueline and Marina remained on the cruise ship and were waiting for Silas to drive them over.
“Oh, I see. Well, I suppose Jacqueline won’t be going around causing trouble after this!” Joyce said.
“I imagine it’d be hard for her to go anywhere with both her legs broken. Shane and I might as well kill ourselves if we can’t even keep her under control!” Natalie replied with a smile.
Just like that, they carried on chatting until the afternoon.
Sally and Lina then excused themselves and said they would see her tomorrow.
Joyce was about to leave as well, but Natalie asked her to stay as she had something to tell her in private.
“Bring Sharon away too, Mrs. Wilson,” Natalie said while handing Sharon over to her.
Sharon knew better than to insist on staying, so she kept quiet and let Mrs. Wilson carry her upstairs.
Soon, Natalie and Joyce were the only ones remaining in the living room.
“Nat, is there something important that you want to tell me?” Joyce asked.
Natalie nodded as she took a photograph out of her purse and handed it over to Joyce.
“Huh… W-What’s the meaning of this?” Joyce asked in confusion when she saw that it was a photograph of an old man with tattoos all over his body.
“This man is the one who killed Stanley’s parents,” Natalie replied while pointing at the photograph.
Joyce froze for a moment before leaping to her feet in shock. “What? H-He killed Stanley’s parents?”
She was in so much shock that she could barely get those words out, and her hands were trembling as she clutched the photograph tightly.
Natalie nodded. “Yup, that’s right. He’s the killer.”
“Oh, this is great news… How did you manage to find out about this guy, Nat?” Joyce asked after taking a moment to regain her composure.
