Chapter 1221 A Familiar Design

Livid, Natalie shot daggers at him. “It’s you who have been allowing Jacqueline to roam around freely! If it weren’t for you poking your nose into the matter, we would’ve dealt with her long ago! We wouldn’t have had to jump through so many hoops that we still haven’t managed to have her pay the price until now!”

“That’s not right. I didn’t make the first move to intervene. On the contrary, she was the one who contacted me. Besides, I wasn’t the one who let her go, but Jackson from your side. Isn’t that so?” Sean then spread his hands. “At most, I only helped her to cover her tracks. I didn’t do anything else.”

“While that’s true, the fact remains that it was you who hampered us from locating her!” Natalie snarled, her hands balling into fists.

Dipping his head, Sean chuckled. “All right, I’ll admit that it’s true. Because of that, I’m asking you whether you want to make a deal with me. Shane is likely dying to get his hands on her, huh? Are you sure you want to drag it still?”

In response, Natalie sneered, “You’re the one forcing me to do so. Isn’t it evident that you don’t want to hand her over to him when your stipulation is for me to divorce him and get together with you? It’s because you know that I’ll never agree to this deal. Is that not so?”

Sean went silent, and the blasé smile on his face turned serious.

A while later, however, he again smirked. “Okay, it seems that this deal has been terminated. But Nat, considering it’s you, I’ll keep it on the table. You can think about it carefully and just say the word anytime you change your mind. I will never say no to you.”

At that, Natalie harrumphed. “Hah! You know full well that Shane and I want to capture you both! Yet, you’re only selling her out to make a deal while you keep yourself in hiding. Ultimately, we’re the ones on the losing end!”
