Chapter 1290 The Culprit
Even so, they found themselves unable to stay calm.
If it wasn’t Jacqueline who kidnapped Connor, then who did it?
Is there someone else plotting against us?
Natalie balled her hands into fists. “That’s impossible. Who else could it have been if not you?”
Jacqueline laughed wickedly. “Well, maybe you should ask Stanley.”
Natalie was bewildered. “Stanley…”
“That’s right. He’s the one who kidnapped your son and caused the car accident.” Jacqueline cackled even more heartily at the look of disbelief on Natalie’s face. “I suppose you still don’t understand Stanley, so let me break it to you. Stanley’s done a lot of things you have no idea of. He wasn’t just behind your son’s kidnapping; he even orchestrated his own car accident. He was also involved in that one time your company’s textile mill caught fire. He and Jasmine had planned it together.”
Natalie’s pupils dilated as she staggered back a few steps.
She would have collapsed if Shane hadn’t grabbed onto her in time.
Stanley was behind all this?
How could that be?
Even Shane was dumbfounded, let alone Natalie.
Stanley may have been sick all this while, but there was no denying that he loved Natalie.
So, then, why would he do all these things to her?
Even Silas was so stunned that he couldn’t utter a word.
Natalie shook her head profusely. “No. That’s impossible. There’s no way Stanley would ever do this to me. There’s just no way!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me, but it’s the truth. You can ask him about it and find out if it’s exactly as I said. Hahaha! It never occurred to you, did it, Natalie Smith? There are so many people out there who hate you. The Smith family, me, and someone you thought was your friend all this while. How pathetic!” Natalie exclaimed gleefully, tears spilling out of her eyes from all the laughing.
Natalie eventually composed herself and stared at the other woman frostily. “Laugh all you want. I know you’re telling me all this just to watch me cave. You may have succeeded, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll verify everything with Jackson. And there’s one thing you’re wrong about: I’m not pathetic. I may have lots of enemies, but I also have many people who love me, such as my two children, my friends, and my husband right here. They all love me so much. Compared to them, people like you are nothing but tiny hurdles that make life a little more exciting.”
Hearing that, Shane held her gently by the waist. “I’ll always love you until the end of time.”
Natalie turned to him and smiled. “And I believe you.”
For the first time, Jacqueline didn’t feel as bothered by the sight, but she could no longer laugh either. “Ha! You’re just making excuses. I look forward to seeing you in pain when you have to deal with Stanley.”
“Sure, but I don’t think you’d be able to see that happen. You tried to kill me a few times. You got someone to nearly drown me inside the bathroom of a restaurant, and I almost fell to death after you
tampered with my apartment’s elevator. You also nearly pushed me down the stairs back at the Thompson villa.”
“Pushed you down the stairs?” Shane’s expression turned grim. “You never told me about this.”
Even Jacqueline froze in shock.
I did have thoughts about pushing her. I even reached out back then, but I changed my mind in the end.
But how did she find out about this?
I was behind her! She couldn’t have known.
Natalie knew exactly what Jacqueline was thinking and scoffed. “You’re wondering how I know, aren’t you? It’s very simple. I’d been keeping a close watch on you ever since you moved into the Thompson villa, and I installed surveillance cameras everywhere in the building. I made sure to watch your every move.”
Jacqueline’s eyes widened.
So, that’s how it is.
She’s been watching me ever since then.
