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.
Of course, she hoped that it was the latter. 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 flash 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 place.” Sean’s gaze was glacial, 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 place? Hah! Isn’t it just because I don’t matter as much to him as she does?
She glared 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 too late for regrets when she tramples all over you one day!”
Right after saying that, she whirled around and stomped toward the kitchen.
Sean flashed 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 particular, I can’t anger him, for I can’t even begin to guess what he would do then.
A sense of dread inexplicably deluged Natalie.
Instinct told her that his deal was definitely not one she would find acceptable.
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 collar 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?”
