Chapter 1291 No Shame
Should I be glad that I never went too far? She would’ve exposed me right away if I did.
Natalie then ignored her and turned to Shane. “I’m sorry, Darling. You weren’t aware of her true nature back then and treated her so nicely. That’s why I never told you.”
Shane’s face instantly fell.
So, she didn’t tell me the truth because she thought I’d side Jacqueline instead?
She has a point, though. I really might not have believed her even if she told me.
Thinking that, the man sighed and pressed his forehead against Natalie’s. “I’m sorry.”
Natalie understood what he was apologizing for and patted his shoulder. “It’s okay, I’m not blaming you. I understand you, in fact. You probably never would’ve believed that such an innocent girl like her would turn out to be a monster.”
Then, she turned to Jacqueline again. “Aside from everything I mentioned earlier, you also hurt my daughter and helped Jasmine alter her face so she could hurt me. All these things you’ve done are enough to determine your death, but don’t you worry. The one who’s going to deal with you will be my husband.”
Regardless of all the heinous acts Jacqueline had committed against Natalie and her children, at least they were all still alive.
Shane’s parents, on the other hand, were now dead. Hence, Natalie wanted to let Shane take the wheel.
He was her husband, so anything he did to Jacqueline would be equivalent to avenging his wife and the two children.
Shane comprehended Natalie’s intentions the moment he glanced at her. “I understand. Leave the rest to me,” he said while giving her hand a squeeze.
With a nod, Natalie stepped back and stood next to Silas.
Shane remained in place and glared at Jacqueline coldly. “I want to know why you killed my parents. Didn’t they treat you well?”
The woman was already in a deranged state by now, and she burst out laughing at the question. “Treat me well? Hahaha! You call that treating me well?”
“What else could it have been? Were they not kind to you?” Shane raised his voice.
“No,” the woman answered in chagrin. “Being kind to me doesn’t just mean buying me a few things! That’s no different from raising a dog, is it? They should’ve given me every single thing I wanted instead of rejecting me!”
Upon hearing that, Natalie and Silas were completely flabbergasted.
“My God. So this is what she’s like,” Silas exclaimed.
Natalie pursed her lips as a wave of indescribable emotions surged within her. “No parent can ever give their children everything they ask for, but to think she expected Shane’s parents to treat her this way. She’s gone insane!”
“She’s not just insane. She’s completely shameless. Who does she think she is that other people have to meet her every demand? What a lunatic.” Silas shot Jacqueline a disgusted glare.
Shane, too, snapped out of a daze and stared at her in disgust. “So, that’s what you think?”
“What’s wrong with thinking that way? They were the ones who said they wanted a daughter, so they took me in as their goddaughter. Shouldn’t they have treated me better, then? Instead, they refused to grant my one tiny wish, which means they clearly never thought of me as their daughter!” Jacqueline’s chest heaved as her eyes turned bloodshot.
“Wish? What wish?”
Natalie couldn’t resist butting in. “What else could it be? She obviously wanted to marry you and become the Thompsons’ daughter-in-law.”
Shane’s gaze darkened as he stared at Jacqueline. From how perturbed she looked, he understood that Natalie had hit the nail on the head.
“You really have no shame,” he scorned unhesitatingly.
