Shane's eyes narrowed as he said chillingly, “I know. I just think that she had it too easy.”

Natalie patted his back. “I don't think she had it easy.”

“What makes you say so?” Shane raised his head to look at her. The crease on his forehead deepened. He was curious about her thoughts.

Natalie explained with a smile, “Didn't you say that the reason Jacqueline took her own life was that she was an arrogant and conceited person that didn't want to be punished by anyone else but herself? Well, I think people like her won't choose a path to end their life like that if she has any other way. I reckoned she wanted to live more than anyone else. Otherwise, she would've committed suicide much earlier. I bet she must have experienced tremendous fear and suffering during the time she was confined in the Graham residence.”
