Chapter 1232 Shane Is In Nalanica
Ah, never mind! My bet paid off this time, so it’s a good thing that I escaped this narrow call. I’ll just think of another solution if such a situation comes up again. If there’s really no other choice, I’m willing to sacrifice my life.
Outside, Sean went downstairs while cradling his arm. In the living room, Jacqueline was scrolling through her cell phone. When she heard the sounds of footsteps, the corners of her mouth curled up in contempt. “Why did you come down so quickly? It hasn’t even been half an hour. It seems that your stamina is lacking!”
Sean threw her a chilly look. “Zip it! Otherwise, I’m going to sew your mouth shut!”
“How dare you?” Seeing red, Jacqueline jerked her head in his direction.
At a single glance, she froze in shock. “You… You’re injured!”
Not only is his arm bleedingly, but his head is too.
“You were injured by Natalie?” she exclaimed incredulously.
Pursing his lips, Sean said nothing but walked over to the other side of the sofa and plopped down.
Jacqueline shot to her feet. “Sean, you were actually injured by her? How useless! You’re a man, yet you aren’t even a woman’s match?”
His eyes narrowing, Sean promptly snapped his head up and stared at her as though her death was imminent.
Jacqueline instantly felt as though there was a hand wrapped around her throat, cutting off her words.
Verily, that look in his eyes were too terrifying.
Soon, the housekeeper came over with a first-aid kit and treated Sean’s injuries.
Jacqueline looked on from her seat across from him. “How is he?”
While treating the injuries, the housekeeper replied, “Sir is fine. There’s a gash on his head and a graze on his arm, but they’re superficial injuries. He’ll be right as rain after they heal in a few days.”
Hearing that, Jacqueline curled her lips. “It looks like she was pulling her punches.”
When she learned that Natalie injured Sean, exhilaration and excitement bubbled within her.
After all, the man was her enemy.
Right then, however, the joy within her fizzled after she heard that his injuries weren’t severe.
That woman is really useless! Since she grazed him, why didn’t she just stab him to death? Then, I’ll be the one who makes all the decisions here! Ah, what a pity! It’s such a shame!
Clocking the emotions flashing across her eyes, Sean immediately surmised her thoughts. A glimmer of murder glinted in his eyes. “You seem very disappointed.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The second Jacqueline heard that she realized that she’d exposed herself. Pushing down the guilt within her, she uttered evenly, “You’re mistaken. Anyway, please excuse me.”
Having said that, she got up and went upstairs.
She was unwilling to tarry for even a second longer, for she knew how depraved the man was.
Although she denied that she was disappointed, he was likely convinced that she was lying. Then, he would force her to admit it and torment her.
The few lessons previously were etched deeply in her mind. Thus, she naturally wanted to take off before he said anything.
When Sean saw that she was leaving, he didn’t call her back as usual to teach her a lesson.
The truth was, he wasn’t in the mood at that moment.
He stared at his arm with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
He admitted that he frightened Natalie earlier and knew that he was to blame for her attacking him in return.
Nonetheless, he was still hurt when he saw her thrusting the knife at him.
After all, he couldn’t possibly be indifferent when the person he loved stabbed him with a knife.
While he was lost in thoughts, his cell phone rang.
He waved a hand, dismissing the housekeeper.
It so happened that the housekeeper was done treating his injuries, so she didn’t say anything at his dismissal. She left the living room after putting everything away in the first-aid kit.
Only after she had left did Sean take out his cell phone. When he glimpsed the caller ID, his eyes narrowed a fraction. He then swiped his thumb across the answer button and took the call. “What’s the matter?”
“It’s bad, Mr. Thompson. I just found out that Shane is in Nalanica,” the person on the other end of the phone answered.
