Chapter 1224 A Fuming Jacqueline
Alas, Sean’s attempted murder of Shane was already set in stone. Coupled with the harm his parents’ inflicted upon the latter’s parents, they were destined to be irreconcilable.
Later, he continued investigating and finally discovered that Wells Properties had actually been managed by a manager all along. Meanwhile, the share transfer agreement had been hidden away by David, for he felt that Sam and his family had no right to all assets left by Seth and Lindsay when Sam was the one who killed them.
Consequently, David hid the share transfer agreement of Wells Properties with his own will. That was also why Sean had been so obsessed with locating the man’s will. It had never been about his so-called desire to destroy the evidence of Sam having killed Seth and Lindsay.
In turn, his fixation with Wells Properties was because it was a gift from Lindsay to him. To him, she wasn’t just his mother but also the person he loved. His feelings toward her were complicated, for not only did he have familial affection for her but also romantic love.
However, following Natalie’s appearance, he gradually shifted the love he had for Lindsay onto her.
Of course, he indeed regarded her as Lindsay’s substitute initially. Because her eyes were hauntingly similar to the latter’s, he was intrigued upon meeting her. But as he began to understand her, he realized that she was very different from Lindsay other than those eyes. Lindsay was the epitome of gentleness, but she was an orchid in a greenhouse. Conversely, Natalie was a thriving plum blossom during winter.
Although an orchid was beautiful, it paled in comparison to a plum blossom. Thus, he transferred all his feelings for Lindsay to Natalie.
As she was the person he loved presently, he naturally didn’t mind giving up certain things for her sake, such as his grudge against Shane and even Wells Properties.
Seemingly perceiving his thoughts, Jacqueline shook her head relentlessly. “You’re really out of your mind! Wells Properties is so significant to you, yet you’re willing to give it up for Natalie’s sake? How absurd!” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
White-hot anger blazed within her that she shook with rage.
She wasn’t angry that he was giving up his career for the sake of a woman. In fact, she was all too eager for that to happen, but not right then.
If he were to give up everything and stay here with her, what is going to happen to me? I still need his protection and make use of his influence! Most importantly, I haven’t gotten my hands on his power now, so I naturally hope that he wouldn’t do so. Well, unless I usurp his power right away. But that doesn’t work either when I don’t even have any way of contacting the organization behind him. Otherwise, I can tell them about his betrayal at once and take over his high-ranking position. Regretfully, I haven’t managed to ferret out their contact information after all this time!
“That’s enough. Why are you so emotional when it’s my decision? Those who don’t know better might even assume that you’re concerned about me.” A mocking smile played on Sean’s lips as he eyed her.
“I’m not concerned about you. I’m only…”
Snorting, Sean stated, “I know what exactly your motive is, but I’d advise you to nix that thought. Otherwise, you’ll end up in hot water while having schemed in vain. That’s all I’ve got to say. Just do as you see fit.”
After saying that, he stood up and left the dining room, leaving a fuming Jacqueline sitting there alone.
Her hands balled into fists as she glowered in the direction he left.
If only I could snag the knife on the dining table and plunge it right into him! But no, I can’t do that now. At least, not right this moment. If I do so, I’ll also die. Hence, I’ve got to be patient. Nonetheless, I must also speed things up in figuring out how he’s contacting that organization. Then, I won’t have to stay under his thumb anymore! Besides, I’ll be able to revisit all the humiliation he has heaped upon me in the past few months on him! Also, there’s Natalie and Shane. I’ll never let any one of them off the hook!
Her face twisted grotesquely as her thoughts wandered.
Meanwhile, Shane had already arrived at the rotor blade manufacturer of Sean’s helicopter and learned of all the manufacturers of the helicopter’s components, especially that of its GPS tracking system. After obtaining that information, he instantly set out again.
