Unexpectedly, things did not go as they had planned. Even worse, their entire plan failed.
Fortunately, Shane did not know that she and Sean were the ones behind this.
“Impossible!” Sean clenched his fists as a grim expression formed on his handsome face. “Shane couldn’t possibly have found out that it was my dad.”
Grandpa already destroyed all the evidence. How did Shane manage to find out?
Jacqueline rolled her eyes. “What do you mean ‘impossible’? You underestimate Shane. I bet he’s figured out the matter regarding your grandfather’s will. Once he finds that will, your family will be done for.”
Sean’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent upon hearing this, and his mouth curved into a wicked sneer. “Oh? We’re done for? Then what about you? Do you think you’d be any better than us? Do you need me to remind you why Shane’s parents didn’t drive on that day and were walking on that road instead, Jacqueline?”
Jacqueline’s mind went blank. Her face turned ghastly pale as her body trembled. A layer of perspiration formed on her forehead, and the hand holding her phone shook. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said in a panicky voice.
Sean sniggered. “Drop the act. Shane’s parents’ deaths, as well as your own parents’ deaths, all have something to do with you. I admit that I’ve done some pretty bad things, but in terms of ruthlessness, I’m far more inferior to you, don’t you think? I mean, just imagine. Eighteen years ago, you were only about eight years old, and ten years ago, you were only about sixteen. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Jacqueline’s legs gave out beneath her and she slumped to the ground. With lips that wobbled with fear, she whispered, “W-What else do you know?”
“I know about everything that you’ve done. Even though you’ve always been very meticulous, at the end of the day, children will still be children, and they’ll leave traces no matter how careful they are. So everything you did can be found out very easily. Only that idiot, Shane, is blind to your true colors.”
At this, Sean lazily propped his chin on his hand and continued, “But then again, Shane was groomed to take over the family since he was young, so other than work, he knows very little about the ways of the world. Not to mention, my grandfather and his parents have always protected him too closely, so he’s never been exposed to the ugly side of human nature. I’m not surprised he failed to see your true colors. That being said…” he trailed off meaningfully.
“What?” Jacqueline shrieked hysterically as fear clutched her heart. Sean smiled sinisterly. “You just said Shane has found out that my dad was the one who ordered the hit on his parents, and that he’s looking for the will now. Do you think my grandfather didn’t include evidence of you tricking Shane’s parents to the roadside in his will?”
