Chapter 984

Chapter 984She had not been sleeping for that long.
“I had a nightmare, so I'd rather not sleep,” Natalie answered weakly with a shake of her head.
Shane went up to her and helped her over to the couch. He poured her a glass of water and offered it
to her. “Drink this.”
Natalie forced a smile and accepted the glass of water. After taking a small sip, she put down the glass.
“Oh, I overheard Silas and you talking about the second culprit. Are there any clues?”
Shane nodded. “We found out that the Graham family is involved.”
“Jacqueline Graham's family?” Natalie asked, responding the same way Shane had.
Shane nodded again.
Natalie inhaled sharply. “Oh my god! I can't believe the Graham family did it.”
“We don't know that for sure. At this point, it's only speculation that they're involved. I'll only be able to
find out the details after meeting with Mr. Graham's friend from back then. However, one thing's for
sure. Jacqueline had a hand in my parents' death,” Shane said in a glacial tone.
He did not believe for one second that Jacqueline merely happened to be at the roadside by
coincidence, witnessed his parents' death, and happened to film it.
Based on the video he had received in his email, he could ascertain that Jacqueline was helping Sam.
Otherwise, why would Jacqueline have deliberately avoided filming the car plate of the culprit and
made it seem like Natalie and Yulia were the ones who caused the accident? It's clear that she's
helping Sam while trying to frame others.“Are you saying that Jacqueline is involved?” Natalie's eyes widened, and she stood up abruptly.
Seeing her reaction, Shane narrowed his eyes. “Do you know something?”
Natalie looked at him and hesitated. “I... I'm not sure. It's something I found out the last time I returned
to the country. While visiting Alice in prison, I spoke to Mrs. Brown. She told me a little about the
Graham family's past.”
“What did she say?” Shane asked urgently, grabbing her hand.
Natalie took a deep breath to compose herself, then said slowly, “Mrs. Brown heard from the wife of
one of her husband's friends that Jacqueline had caused some people's deaths eighteen years ago. At
that time, Mrs. Graham even reprimanded Jacqueline for doing something so horrendous to people
who had treated her so well. However, that lady did not hear the names of the victims. I didn't think
much about it until now. Do you think the victims are your parents?”
Well, it did happen eighteen years ago. When Mom and Dad were alive, they took Jacqueline as their
goddaughter and were exceptionally kind to her. That matches Mrs. Graham's remark about the victims
treating Jacqueline so well. More importantly, from what Mrs. Graham said, there was more than one
victim. That means there were at least two victims. Once again, it matches with Mom and Dad's death.
Just on these two points alone, it does seem like the deaths Jacqueline caused were my parents'.
Shane's sudden silence was frightening.
Feeling worried, Natalie began, “Shane...”
Suppressing the overwhelming murderous intent that engulfed him, Shane closed his eyes and said in
a hoarse voice, “I'm fine. Did Mrs. Brown tell you who she heard it from?”
Natalie shook her head. “No, but if you want to know, I can call and ask Mrs. Brown.”“That would be a great help,” Shane replied, still firmly holding back his emotions.
Natalie squeezed his hand reassuringly, then took out her cell phone and called Lucinda.
Two minutes later, she hung up and looked at Shane. “She said that it was Mrs. Larson of Larson Daily
Chemicals.”
“All right,” Shane replied.
At that moment, Silas walked into the office. “Mr. Shane, I've made the appointment with Mr. Wangton.
When do you plan to head over there?”
“Now.” Shane walked over to the coat rack behind his desk and grabbed his coat.
Natalie followed behind him and took the coat from his hands, then helped him to put it on. “I'll go with
you.”Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebook
