    Chapter 1220 How About Making A Deal


    “Never mind if you don’t want to go to the kitchen, but I’m not eating then.” Natalie stood up as well and


    made to leave.


    It was true that she didn’t want to dine at the same table as Jacqueline, but at the same time, she also


    wanted to see her importance to Sean.


    She wanted to know who mattered more to him, between her and Jacqueline.


    If I’m more important to him, perhaps she’ll have to think twice before doing anything to me. But if it’s


    the other way round, then I’ll resign myself to putting up with her moving forward. After all, this is their


    territory.


    Of course, she hoped that it was thetter. If so, perhaps Sean wouldn’t stop her if she wanted to teach


    Jacqueline a lesson.


    “Don’t go,” Sean called out to Natalie, a frown marring his countenance.


    A sh of something flickered in Natalie’s eyes, and she halted in her tracks. “I can stay, but you have to


    send her away right this instant. I don’t want to see her.”


    “Okay.” Sean nodded in acquiescence.


    Jacqueline’s expression turned grim. “Sean-”


    “That’s enough. Hurry up and go to the kitchen. Don’t forget your ce.” Sean’s gaze was cial, and he


    eyed her as though he was a venomous snake that would strike anytime.


    Jacqueline’s face contorted endlessly. Wrath and resentment stained her features, one after another.


    My ce? Hah! Isn’t it just because I don’t matter as much to him as she does?

    She red at Natalie as though she wanted to kill her right then and there. “Fine, I’ll leave. I’ll see how


    long you can protect her! It’ll be far toote for regrets when she tramples all over you one day!”


    Right after saying that, she whirled around and stomped toward the kitchen.


    Sean shed Natalie a smile. “Now that she’s gone, will you sit and continue eating?”


    Natalie’s lips twitched, but she nodded in the end and sat back down.


    Again, this is his territory. I can target Jacqueline without any qualms, but I’ve got to be exceedingly


    careful with him. In particr, I can’t anger him, for I can’t even begin to guess what he would do then.


    She picked up her fork and started eating again.


    Sean had a hand propped against his head, gazing at her with an affectionate yet strange look in his


    eyes. “How about we make a deal?”


    “A deal? What kind of deal?” Natalie’s brows knitted together.


    “I know both Shane and you have been going all out to locate me and Jacqueline. Other than hurting you


    and your two children, Jacqueline was one of the culprits who killed Uncle Seth and Lindsay, after all.


    Therefore, the two of you really want to bring her to justice,” Shane remarked.


    Natalie’s hands clenched into fists. “Sure enough, you know that she’s the second culprit. So, why do


    you still want to help her? Hadn’t my inws been good to you?”


    At her question, Sean’s expression turned solemn, and he lowered his eyes to mask the indescribable


    emotion in his eyes.


    Seeing that he was keeping mum, Natalie grabbed his cor and demanded loudly, “Well? Hadn’t my in-


    laws been good to you? Why do you want to protect a murderer? She killed the person who regarded


    you as her biological son!”


    “I naturally know that, but I have my own n,” Sean murmured with his head hung and his eyes trained


    on her hand.


    Natalie’s hand was shaking as she gripped his cor. “What’s your n?”


    “You don’t need to know that. Anyhow, it’s not entirely impossible if you want to bring her to justice.


    That’s why I offered to make a deal with you.” The corners of Sean’s mouth turned up again.


    A sense of dread inexplicably deluged Natalie.


    Instinct told her that his deal was definitely not one she would find eptable.


    But at the thought of bringing Jacqueline to justice, she wavered.


    After deliberating for a few seconds, Natalie curled her hands into fists and stared right into the man’s


    eyes. “What exactly is the deal?”


    “As long as you promise to divorce Shane and be with me, I’m willing to hand her over to him. How’s


    that? This deal is actually a piece of cake for you, no?” Sean reached out and toyed with a strand of her


    hair, twirling it around his finger.


    Natalie’s pupils abruptly constricted. She instinctively released her grip on his cor and backed away.


    Following her retreat, the strand of hair in Sean’s hand slipped away from his finger.


    He sighed regretfully and rubbed his fingers before putting his hand down. “Why, are you not willing to do


    so? Haven’t you been hoping that she’ll pay the price? Not only did she attempt to murder you time and


    again and hurt your children, but she even killed my aunt and uncle. Do you still want such a person to


    roam around freely?”
