Chapter 1292 Rotten To The Core
Infuriated, Jacqueline scrunched her face into a vicious expression. “I’m shameless? How is it wrong to pursue what I want? They’ve said they’ll agree as long as it’s nothing overboard. It’s not too much for me to ask to marry you and be their daughter-in-law, right? But why are they vehemently objecting now?
They promised it themselves, yet now they’re going back on their word. They even said they don’t need a daughter-in-law with an evil heart. Hah! Since that’s the case, won’t I be disappointing them if I don’t grant them their wish?” At that, she suddenly burst into a peal of laughter. “They deserved it! Serve them right for falling into my trap and getting killed. Who asked them to lie to me and cheat my feelings? They only have themselves to blame!”
“You’re mad. You have really gone mad!” Silas shook his head in disbelief. “Mr. Shane, Madam, this woman is rotten to the core. Just because Mr. and Mrs. Thompson didn’t agree to her terms, she negated everything they had done for her and joined forces with Sam to kill them. We can’t tolerate the heinous deeds she has done!”
Natalie nodded. “You’re right. Not only did she kill Shane’s parents, but she might have also killed her own parents, too. Didn’t Shane find out some time ago that Mr. and Mrs. Graham’s deaths have something to do with her?”
She turned to Jacqueline and narrowed her eyes as she asked, “Did you really kill your parents?”
The latter broke into an eerie and wicked laughter, instantly sending a chill down everyone’s spine. “You’re right; I killed them. They only have themselves to blame for reporting me to the police station after finding out that I embezzled the funds from Graham Group. They’re my parents! How could they send me to jail? Instead of protecting me and bearing the consequences for me, they chose to reveal the truth to stop those shareholders from finding fault in them. They are not fit to be my parents. They deserved to die! So, I plotted a scheme to kill them!”
Silas drew a sharp breath after hearing her words. “Gosh, you killed your parents just because of that? How could you…”
Likewise, Natalie was also in utter astonishment that she could not bring herself to say anything for a long while.
She had conjectured various reasons for Jacqueline to resort to killing her parents, all of which were a lot more severe.
It turned out that the truth was not like what she had thought. Instead, things had taken such a turn merely because her parents chose to send her to jail!
On second thought, Natalie thought it was understandable why Jacqueline would react that way. After all, she could even kill Shane’s parents just because they were against her marrying him.
It was no wonder she would kill her parents due to a minor conflict.
Indeed, Jacqueline was someone who only wanted everyone to treat her well and not disappoint or upset her. Once someone ruined her well-being, her resentment toward that person would grow so intensely that she would try every means to take their life. That was the only outcome that would satisfy her.
She was born a heartless monster who had no empathy!
Natalie and Silas were not the only ones left in shock. Even Shane was bewildered by the truth that it took him some time to recover from his trance.
Dabbling in the business arena for so many years, he had undoubtedly seen all sorts of people, the evil and the good. However, it was his first time coming across someone as malicious as Jacqueline.
What was especially appalling to him was how the woman had marked his parents as her target simply because they refused to agree to her request. It was unforgiving.
At the sight of how gloomy Shane was, Natalie grew slightly worried.
“Shane.”
The man only clenched his fists tightly without any response.
Natalie had a rough idea why he would react that way. Those words of confession that Jacqueline had put forth were so unbelievably shocking. It was more than understandable that he could not accept it right at that point.
“Shane, let’s head back first, shall we? We’ll think of how to deal with Jacqueline later.” She walked up to him and said in a soft voice.
Since we’ve already found out everything we need to know, Jacqueline’s punishment can wait.
