    Chapter 1302 Let Bygones Be Bygones


    “We didn’t expect this to happen, did we?” Ss looked at Shane and asked. “All we wanted to do was


    torture her, yet she killed herself. Does this mean our revenge had failed?”


    Shane clenched his fists. He was obviously displeased with the turn of events.


    But what else can I do? The woman is dead. I can’t possibly get a medical expert to resuscitate her so


    that I can kill her with my bare hands, can I?


    Or should I whip her lifeless body to vent my frustration? But that’s not me. I’m not that perverted.


    “Let’s just leave her as she is,” Shane said while staring at Jacqueline.


    It’s a shame that I couldn’t avenge my parents, but since she’s dead, it’s time for me to let go.


    He reached out his hands to grab a corner of theforter and pulled it upward, covering Jacqueline’s


    body with the bed covering.


    With a deadpan expression, he turned around and instructed Ss, “Let’s go. Get someone to clean this


    upter.”


    “All right, Mr. Shane.” Ss nodded and left the room with him.


    The moment they reached downstairs, they bumped into Natalie, who had just entered the building.


    Natalie quickened her pace and walked up to him. “Shane, you…”


    Before she could further, she noticed his blood-stained hands. She froze for a moment. “Shane, what


    happened? Are you injured?”


    Shane followed her line of sight and lowered his head. He then shook his head and answered, “No. It’s


    not my blood.”


    Natalie looked bewildered. She asked, “Then whose blood is it?”


    “It’s Jacqueline’s,” he answered.


    I must have identally tainted my hand when I pulled up theforter earlier.


    Natalie was dumbstruck at that. “Jacqueline’s blood? Don’t tell me you—”


    “No, I didn’t.” Shane cut her off and shook his head.


    Natalie patted her chest gently and heaved a sigh of relief. “You nearly gave me the shock of my life. I


    thought you had already—”


    “But she’s dead,” Shane interrupted her.


    Natalie stared at him, dumbfounded. “What did you say? She’s dead? Didn’t you say you didn’t do


    anything to her? How did she—”


    “Shemitted suicide, madam,” Ss exined.


    Natalie could not believe her ears. “Shemitted suicide? Why?”


    “Jacqueline knew she would not be able to walk out of here alive, and she knew Mr. Shane would torture


    her to death. So she kept a shard of ss and stabbed her neck with it,” Ss said.


    He then continued describing the conversation she had with Shane in detail.


    After hearing everything, Natalie seemed to have gotten over the shock. She sighed and said, “I guess I


    shouldn’t be surprised by what Jacqueline had done to herself. She’s a proud woman who would notContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    allow anyone to step all over her, so I guess I can understand why she decided to end her life. In fact, I


    admire her guts for it because not everyone has the courage to do something like this. It’s just that you


    won’t be able to avenge your parents anymore, Shane.”


    “I know, but since she’s dead, it’s time to let bygones be bygones,” Shane said while lowering his eyes.


    Natalie nodded. “That’s for the best.”


    She then looked up and saw two security guards busy walking in and out of Jacqueline’s room.


    Natalie could roughly figure out what they were busy with. She immediately lowered her head and dared


    not look up again.


    Although she had yete across Jacqueline’s body, she could not help but shudder when she thought


    of the body that stilly on the bed upstairs.


    “Shane, do you think we should tell the cops about Jacqueline? After all, they knew Jacqueline was in


    your hands,” Natalie asked while looking at Shane.


    He lowered his eyes and replied, “Of course.”


    “We should update Dr. Baker too,” Natalie added.


    Shane frowned. “I’ll get someone to update Jackson about this. Come on, let’s go. We shouldn’t stay


    here anymore.”


    Natalie murmured a response, “All right.”


    She did not want to stay there any longer either. The thought of sharing the same space with a dead


    person sent shivers down her spine.


    Natalie and Shane left the Graham residence, but Ss stayed back to take care of the rest.


    Besides handling Jacqueline’s body, Ss also needed to make the other necessary arrangements in the


    Graham residence.
