Chapter 1290


    Shane nodded. “You''re right. Let''s go.”


    Ss went up and opened the door.


    Shane took Natalie by the hand and walked in.


    There, they saw Jacqueline syed out on the floor, half the nket underneath her and the other half


    hanging at the edge of the bed.


    It was clear that she had fallen off the bed.


    And from the way she was facing the door, Natalie surmised that the former had tried to keep Jackson


    from leaving, only to end up falling.


    The way she trembled had to be due to the intense pain she felt after falling on her legs.


    Even so, Natalie didn''t pity her. She got what she deserved.


    “Put her back on the bed,” Shane instructed Ss while staring at Jacqueline contemptuously.


    Ss walked over, picked Jacqueline up from underneath her arms, and lifted her.


    He had no intention of being gentle and practically tossed her back onto the bed.


    This caused the woman to scream and roll around in pain as her body twitched.


    Yet, Natalie and the others merely red at her, none of them showing her an ounce of sympathy.


    The pain eventually subsided after an unbeknownst amount of time, and Jacqueliney in bed taking in


    a few deep breaths. Her eyes lookedpletely bleak and lifeless. Natalie and Shane finally walked


    toward the bed and gazed at her from above.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “It hurt a lot, didn''t it?” asked Natalie.


    Jacqueline turned to her.


    Her eyes were instantly filled with so much hatred as though she wanted to tear the woman apart.


    Shane narrowed his eyes and was about to get Ss to step forward and teach Jacqueline a lesson.


    However, Natalie stopped them. “It''s fine. She''s already dealt with the pain of having both her legs


    broken. I don''t think anything else can match that. Besides, so what if she hates me? She can''t even


    get up and fight me now that she''s crippled.”


    Shane arched an eyebrow before smirking. “That''s true.”


    “You... You''re horrible! You sons of b*tches!” Jacqueline cried out with a grimace.


    Frowning, an exasperated Ss pped her across the face. “Watch your mouth.”


    The head-turning p caused Jacqueline''s pale face to redden slightly, thus adding some color to her


    ghost-like appearance.


    Natalie''s lips curved into a taunting smile. “It hurts, doesn''t it? So do your legs, right? Good. That''s


    exactly what my children felt back then.”


    Jacqueline clenched her fists tightly while remaining silent.


    She didn''t want to risk receiving another p by opening her mouth again.


    Natalie took a deep breath before continuing, “I know you hate me because of how I affected your


    chances with Shane, Jacqueline. I don''t mind if you have something against me. I''d dly put up a


    fight, anyway. But you should''ve never, ever,e after my children. You kidnapped my son and nearly


    got him killed in an ident. Then, you hurt my daughter. That''s why - “


    “Yes, I admit I hurt your daughter, but I didn''t kidnap your son!” Jacqueline turned to Natalie furiously.


    Thetter was taken aback. “What? You didn''t kidnap my son?”


    “Look,” Jacqueline pped back with gritted teeth. “My legs are ruined, Jackson''s ditched me, and I


    know you guys aren''t going to let me off. There''s no reason for me to lie at this point. Also, I''ll have you


    know that while I''m a nasty person, I''ll never allow anyone to use me as a scapegoat. I have far too


    much pride for that. So when I said I didn''t kidnap your son, I mean it.”


    Shane''s eyes narrowed once again.


    Ss nced at him and Natalie. “She doesn''t seem like she''s lying, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson.”


    Of course, the couple could also tell that Jacqueline was being honest even if Ss had said nothing.
