Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 985

With her face buried in her own hands, Marjorie sniffled. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t say anything and also lacked the courage to back then. That night, I was attending a banquet and had a little too much to drink, so I went out to the backyard to clear my head. That was when I overheard the conversation between Mrs. Graham and Jacqueline.”

“Please continue, Mrs. Larson,” Natalie said in an encouraging tone as she held Shane’s hand.

Marjorie nodded. “Since you came all the way here, I will. I’ve always known that someone will come asking eventually, so I’m going to tell you everything. That night, I heard Mrs. Graham press Jacqueline for her reasons for harming Mr. and Mrs. Graham. The girl stated that it was because Mrs. Graham found out about her true nature and wanted to disown her as her god-daughter. That was what motivated Jacqueline to act against them.”

So Jacqueline had Shane’s mother killed because she uncovered what Jacqueline was really like. To think that such a monstrous person has survived till now.

With his fists clenched, Shane’s body shivered in a murderous rage, for he had never expected this to be Jacqueline’s justification for killing his parents.

Have they not treated her well enough?

Had he known earlier, he would not have continued to have someone care for Jacqueline for ten years on account of her being his mother’s goddaughter.

He thought he should have taken her off life support when she got into the traffic accident and rued being the one who brought his own parent’s murderer back to life.

That made him feel that he had let his parents down.

Natalie clasped his fingers when she sensed the mood he was in. “Let’s try to stay calm for now, Shane. Shall we hear Mrs. Larson out and see what else she has to say?”

The woman’s gentle voice brought back some of Shane’s capacity for reason.

He took in a deep drawl and closed his eyes before he forced himself to settle down into a slight frown. “Do continue, Mrs. Larson.”

Mrs. Graham’s decision couldn’t be categorically considered right or wrong, because had they turned Jacqueline in, she would likely be kept away from them forever.

At just ten years of age, even if Jacqueline could not be sentenced, the authorities would not have allowed Jacqueline to continue living freely in society in consideration of her antisocial personality disorder. That would mean that she would be detained somewhere indefinitely.

Natalie reckoned that Sisley must have realized this and thus decided to drop the idea in the end. Though she understood the woman’s dilemma, she found herself unable to concur with the decision she made.

“Sheer foolishness.” Shane was conversely a lot more critical of Sisley.

There’s no other way to describe someone who would indulge such a monster.

Marjorie glanced over at Shane. “You’re right about that, Mr. Shane. Mrs. Graham’s decision was foolish, and as a result, she paid a terrible price for it herself.”
