Chapter 585

“I see.” Natalie gripped tightly onto her blankets and sneered, “I can’t believe you would say something
like this, Ms. Graham. You’re finally showing your true colors, aren’t you?”

Jacqueline’s eyes flickered slightly without denying it.

The former shut her eyes and asked, “I want to know why you’re not putting on an act in front of me
anymore.”

“It’s nothing. It’s tiring to put up an act, you know. Besides, Shane isn’t here. So why should I bother?”

Natalie pursed her pale lips for a moment before saying, “Is that so? Since this is your true self, then
may I ask if you were the one behind the burning of my warehouse, the car accident of my son and
friend, and also my kidnapping with Harrison?”

She had already suspected it a long time ago but dispelled the thought later on.

Right then, Jacqueline had finally shown her true colors. So Natalie decided to make it clear with her
once and for all.

The latter stared at her in shock. “Oh my, so you’ve been through so many traumatizing events!”

Natalie studied her face with icy cold eyes, trying to decipher her reaction.

However, it seemed as though she actually didn’t know what happened.



For a moment, Natalie couldn’t tell what was going on.

“Don’t be disappointed, Ms. Smith. I’m sure you’ll find out who’s the one behind all this. But why would
that person do all this to you?” Jacqueline asked with a smile.



Natalie lowered her gaze as she didn’t want to answer.

Jacqueline’s eyes turned cold as she was upset at her reaction. “Forget it if you don’t want to answer. I
won’t ask anymore.”

“Then please leave,” Natalie said as she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

The latter’s lips curled as she said, “You’re chasing me away? That’s so heartless of you.”

“Then what do you want?” the bedridden woman asked with furrowed brows.

“Nothing. I just enjoy the sight of you being miserable. It’s such a rare sight, after all.” Jacqueline crossed
her arms before continuing, “I thought that I’d have to wait for a long time before I could see you like this.
Who would’ve thought that it’d be so soon? It seems like your mother died at the right timing.”

Her words successfully angered Natalie.

Her body was trembling with anger and her eyes were brimming with tears. “Jacqueline, how could you
say such a thing! You vile witch!”

She dared say that Mom deserved to die!

Seeing Natalie so worked up, the look on Jacqueline’s face turned even more wicked. “I am vile? Since
when? Was I wrong?”

“Y-You—” Natalie raised her arms in anger, wanting to give the wicked woman a slap.

But ultimately, she held back and stopped her arm midway.

Even though Jacqueline deserved the slap, but with her health condition, she definitely could not take the
hit. In the end, Natalie would be the one to suffer from the altercation.



That was why she couldn’t hit her.

Jacqueline knew that she was going to hit her when she saw the raised arm. She was afraid at first, but
soon, she seemed to have thought of something as she grabbed onto the bed rail. The woman didn’t
even try to move away as she waited for Natalie’s slap.

However, she didn’t expect the latter to have such good self-control.

This is unacceptable.

My plan would be foiled if she lowered her hand.

Jacqueline quickly shoved her face forward to meet the former’s palm.

Pretending to get slapped, Jacqueline fell onto the floor and let out a scream.

Both Shane and Jackson rushed in and instantly saw Natalie’s raised hand and Jacqueline sitting on the
floor in fright.

Everyone could tell what had happened before them.

Natalie had pushed Jacqueline onto the floor.

Jackson’s face darkened while Shane furrowed at the sight of it.
