If there was merely a slight association, he would definitely not treat her so harshly.
Hence, this was the biggest possibility.
However, she did not know how his parents died. The news online did not reveal anything else except for the fact that the then-CEO of Thompson Group and his wife had passed away on the 9th of October.
Shane’s expression was terrifyingly cold. “Since you’ve already guessed it, let me tell you this. Your mom hit my parents with her car and killed them.”
“Impossible!” rebuked Natalie subconsciously as she shook her head violently. “My mom will never kill your parents with her car. She’s not that type of person!”
“Impossible?” Shane took a few steps forward and pinched her chin forcefully.
She grunted in pain as her face scrunched up.
When Shane saw that, he could not bear it anymore and released her.
“If it’s impossible, tell me why your mom acted weirdly on the 9th of October?”
“I…” Natalie was rendered speechless.
Yeah, if Mom didn’t hit them, why would her mood become so horrible? When she returned from David’s place nine years ago, completely drunk, why did she apologize?
When Shane saw Natalie’s increasingly pale face and flustered gaze, he clenched his fists tightly. “See, you can’t even rebuke me.”
“But… But this doesn’t mean that my mom killed them,” whispered Natalie softly, feeling unconfident.
Shane yelled through clenched jaws, “Even till now, you’re still deceiving yourself!”
“I…” Natalie shuddered when she heard him shout, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was not deceiving herself.
Although her mother’s strange behaviour suggested that she was related to his parents’ deaths, it did not mean that she was the one who killed them.
There might be other complications involved.
“Natalie, do you know how much I regret leaving earlier?” Shane stared at her.
Having a bad feeling about it, she parted her lips.
Shane closed his eyes. When he opened them, there was not a trace of emotions to be found. “I regret falling in love with you and marrying you, because you’re the daughter of my parents’ murderer!”
Natalie’s face immediately turned pale. Her mind was an utter blank as she felt like the entire world was spinning around her.
He regrets falling in love with me and marrying me.
All because I’m the daughter of his parents’ murderer…
Natalie’s tears streamed down her cheeks. “No, Shane. My mom definitely didn’t do that! I’m already investigating it. After I find out the truth, everything…”
“There’s no need for that. I have the video of your mom knocking my parents down,” spat Shane, enunciating his every word.
When Natalie heard that, she felt like she had been thrown into hell.
Her legs weakened, sending her collapsing to the floor. Her mind was completely blank except for what he had said earlier.
He has the video of my mom knocking his parents down. In that case…
Natalie raised her hands and tugged her hair forcefully. “No way, no way…”
“When my parents went out eighteen years ago and got knocked down by your mom’s car, she was driving a red car. Don’t you remember?” Shane stood in front of her and looked down at her. All of a sudden, he thought that his question was hilarious.
She was in the car back then. How can she not remember it?
However, Natalie shook her head. “A red car? That’s impossible. My mom never owned a red car. She hates the color red, so she’ll never drive a red car!”
From her memories, she had never seen her mom own anything red.
When Shane heard that, his expression turned ugly and a mocking look appeared in his eyes. “You’re still lying at this juncture.”
What do you mean, she hates the color red and doesn’t have a red car? Didn’t you alight the red car with your mom back then?
“I’m not lying.” Natalie raised her head and looked at him. “Shane, I’m really not lying. My mom doesn’t have a red car. Trust me, I’ll never deceive you.”
