CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Infuriated, Jacqueline scrunched her face into a vicious expression. “I'm shameless? How is it wrong to pursue what I want? They've said they'll agree as long as it's nothing overboard. It's not too much for me to ask to marry you and be their daughter-in-law, right? But why are they vehemently objecting now? They promised it themselves, yet now they're going back on their word. They even said they don't need a daughter-in-law with an evil heart. Hah! Since that's the case, won't I be disappointing them if I don't grant them their wish?” At that, she suddenly burst into a peal of laughter. “They deserved it! Serve them right for falling into my trap and getting killed. Who asked them to lie to me and cheat my feelings? They only have themselves to blame!”

“You're mad. You have really gone mad!” Silas shook his head in disbelief. “Mr. Shane, Madam, this woman is rotten to the core. Just because Mr. and Mrs. Thompson didn't agree to her terms, she negated everything they had done for her and joined forces with Sam to kill them. We can't tolerate the heinous deeds she has done!”

Natalie nodded. “You're right. Not only did she kill Shane's parents, but she might have also killed her own parents, too. Didn't Shane find out some time ago that Mr. and Mrs. Graham's deaths have something to do with her?”

She turned to Jacqueline and narrowed her eyes as she asked, “Did you really kill your parents?”

The latter broke into an eerie and wicked laughter, instantly sending a chill down everyone's spine. “You're right; I killed them. They only have themselves to blame for reporting me to the police station after finding out that I embezzled the funds from Graham Group. They're my parents! How could they send me to jail? Instead of protecting me and bearing the consequences for me, they chose to reveal the truth to stop those shareholders from finding fault in them. They are not fit to be my parents. They deserved to die! So, I plotted a scheme to kill them!”

Silas drew a sharp breath after hearing her words. “Gosh, you killed your parents just because of that? How could you...”
