Feel the Way You Feel, My Love Chapter 1271
Cruel Fate
He was about to head downstairs after leaving the study when he overheard Natalie talking about the killer.
Thinking Natalie had intended to talk to Joyce in private about it, Shane decided to remain upstairs and listen in
instead.
That was how he ended up hearing the entire conversation.
“Darling, don’t you think fate is being rather cruel to Joyce and Stanley?” Natalie asked with a wry smile.
They were clearly doing good by sending Stanley’s parents food and supplies, but they ended up exposing their
whereabouts and got them killed. I bet Joyce’s parents would be devastated if they find out about it… I don’t think
anyone would take kindly to the fact that they got their closest friends killed!
Shane walked up to Natalie and hugged her gently. “Don’t worry too much about this. You already told them the
truth, so all that’s left for you to do is let them handle it themselves. Do not get involved in it any further.”

Shane ran his hand through her hair as he said, “In that case, you can keep a close eye on her to make sure she
doesn’t do anything rash.”
“Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m planning to do.” Natalie then glanced around and asked, “By the way, where’s
Connor?”
“He went to play with Sharon in the room,” Shane replied while sitting down beside her.
Natalie nodded in response.
Their little quiet moment was disrupted when Shane’s cell phone started ringing all of a sudden.
The frown on his face when he saw the caller ID made it obvious that he didn’t like that person very much.
Natalie arched an eyebrow when she saw that it was Jackson calling. “Dr. Baker? He probably found out that you’re
back, huh?”
Shane avoided answering her question directly. “There are quite a lot of residents in this area. Given the
commotion I caused upon my return, it’s no surprise that a person like Jackson would know about it.”
“Will you take his call, then?” Natalie asked.
Shane pursed his lips in hesitation, but answered the phone anyway. “What is it?”
“Hey, Shane! You’re back home, right?” Jackson asked.
“Just get to the point,” Shane said coldly.
“Well… I heard you caught Jacqueline,” Jackson mumbled cautiously.
Shane exuded an icy-cold aura as he asked, “Who did you hear that from?”
It’s normal for Jackson to know about me being overseas because everyone knew about us leaving for our
honeymoon. However, I made sure to keep everything that happened overseas a secret. Nobody knows about Sean
capturing Natalie, let alone what happened when I went to rescue her! How did Jackson find out about me
capturing Jacqueline? Does he have spies planted in my organization?
A cold, murderous look formed in Shane’s eyes at the thought of that possibility.
“What’s wrong, Darling?” Natalie asked.
Shane was about to say something, but Jackson had already started speaking on the phone. “It was Sean. He told
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmme that you caught Jacqueline.”
“Sean?” Shane narrowed his eyes.
Jackson nodded. “Yeah, he gave me a call and told me about it.”
The look on Shane’s face eased up significantly after hearing that.
Oh, it was Sean, huh? And here I thought I would have to weed out spies! I suppose it’s nothing to worry about,
then.
“So? Are you calling me to have me release Jacqueline?” Shane asked with a sarcastic smile.
Jackson’s expression turned gloomy when he heard the sarcasm in his voice. “No, not at all! I just wanted to see her
and ask her some questions, that’s all! I would never ask you to release her!”
He knew full well that Jacqueline would never see the error of her ways nor change for the better.
On top of that, Jacqueline killed Shane’s parents, nearly killed Natalie, and could even be linked to the deaths of her
own parents.
Given the heinous nature of her crimes, Jackson would never dare ask for her to be released.
