Chapter 1289 No Sympathy
Shane nodded. “You’re right. Let’s go.”
Silas went up and opened the door.
Shane took Natalie by the hand and walked in.
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 Silas while staring at Jacqueline contemptuously.
Silas 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 glared at her, none of them showing her an ounce of sympathy.
The pain eventually subsided after an unbeknownst amount of time, and Jacqueline lay in bed taking in a few deep breaths. Her eyes looked completely bleak and lifeless. Natalie and Shane finally walked toward the bed and gazed at her from above.
“It hurt a lot, didn’t it?” asked Natalie.
Jacqueline turned to her.
She didn’t want to risk receiving another slap 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 gladly put up a fight, anyway. But you should’ve never, ever, come after my children. You kidnapped my son and nearly got him killed in an accident. 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.
The latter was taken aback. “What? You didn’t kidnap my son?”
“Look,” Jacqueline clapped 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.
Silas glanced 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 Silas had said nothing.
