CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake Chapter 1290

Chapter 1290Shane nodded. “You're right. Let's go.”
Silas went up and opened the door.
Shane took Natalie by the hand and walked in.
There, they saw Jacqueline splayed out on the floor, half the blanket underneath her and the other half
hanging at the edge of the bed.
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.
Her eyes were instantly filled with so much hatred as though she wanted to tear the woman apart.

However, Natalie stopped them. “It's fine. She's already dealt with the pain of having both her legs
broken. I don't think anything else can match that. Besides, so what if she hates me? She can't even
get up and fight me now that she's crippled.”
Shane arched an eyebrow before smirking. “That's true.”
“You... You're horrible! You sons of b*tches!” Jacqueline cried out with a grimace.
Frowning, an exasperated Silas slapped her across the face. “Watch your mouth.”
The head-turning slap caused Jacqueline's pale face to redden slightly, thus adding some color to her
ghost-like appearance.
Natalie's lips curved into a taunting smile. “It hurts, doesn't it? So do your legs, right? Good. That's
exactly what my children felt back then.”
Jacqueline clenched her fists tightly while remaining silent.
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 afight, 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.
