Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 789

“What? It wasn’t Ms. Smith’s mother?” Jacqueline’s eyes flickered, but she arranged her features to display shock. “D-Doesn’t that mean we misunderstood her? But the video…”

Shane pursed his lips and clarified in a grave tone, “The person who recorded the video deliberately angled it to mislead those who watched it.”

This shooting technique wasn’t uncommon in the entertainment industry.

Paparazzi were especially skilled in this regard.

Jacqueline gulped imperceptibly before replying, “I see. Then who was the one who hit your parents?”

“Someone connected to Sam.” Shane articulated each word.

Jacqueline sucked in a sharp breath. “Your uncle? B-But why would he do something like that to your dad, his own brother?”

Shane glanced at her and said without emotion, “Wealthy families don’t care about blood ties.”

Jacqueline’s heart tightened in her chest.

Because of what he said, her mind was transported back to the incident from ten years ago.

Thank God he doesn’t know. For a second there, I thought he was implying something.

Jacqueline forced a smile onto her lips and replied drily, “Yeah. You’re right.”

Shane massaged his nose bridge and stated, “Anyway, I won’t be joining you and Jackson for dinner tonight. I already promised Natalie I’d celebrate with her.”

“Sure. You’re both husband and wife, after all. You should definitely spend your birthday with her. I won’t be going back to the villa tonight. Wouldn’t wanna disturb the two of you.” Jacqueline smiled tightly.

Shane grunted in response. “Is there anything else?”

Jacqueline shook her head and replied, “No. I’ll leave you to your work then.”

With that, she turned and left.

“Shane and Natalie are back together. Is this reason good enough for you?” Jacqueline snapped back in a mocking tone.

The man was silent for two seconds before replying in a displeased tone, “What did you say? They’re back together?”

“Yeah. Our plan failed. I bet you’re disappointed, huh, Sean?” Jacqueline snickered.

In a voice oozing with sarcasm, Sean rebuked, “I bet you’re more disappointed than me, seeing as you failed to get Shane even after several attempts.”

“You…” Jacqueline’s features contorted with anger.

But she recomposed herself very quickly and broke into a gloating smile. “You’re one to talk, Sean. Yes, I haven’t gotten Shane yet, but you’re not faring any better than me. Not only did you fail to get Natalie, but Shane has also found out that your father is the real culprit responsible for his parent’s deaths.”

The video was a plan both she and Sean came up with to break Shane and Natalie apart.

Sean wanted Natalie to himself, while she wanted to become Mrs. Thompson. Thus, they struck a deal with each other to get what they wanted.
