“Then why are you disappointed?” asked Jacqueline in confusion.

Shane massaged his temples and answered, “I'm disappointed with what you did.”

Jacqueline gritted her teeth and demanded, “Was I wrong for doing that?”

“Weren't you?” challenged Shane as he looked at her.

Jacqueline looked up and replied stubbornly, “There's nothing wrong with what I did. I was simply pursuing the

person I love and my own happiness.”

“But I don't love you,” said Shane mercilessly.

Jacqueline suppressed the sting in her heart. Tears swirled in her reddened eyes as she replied, “I know, and it's fine

that you don't love me, Shane. All that matters is that I love you. I fell for you when I was a kid, and I have dreamed

of being with you ever since. I thought that I had a shot at that, but Natalie wrecked my dream when she showed

up out of nowhere.”

At the mention of Natalie, Jacqueline's face contorted with hatred.

Seeing that prompted Shane to ask, “You hate her, don't you?”

“Yes, I hate her! I hate her with every fiber of my being,” roared Jacqueline. “I was the one who met you first, but

you ended up with her. How can I be okay with that? How can I not hate her?”

“Is that why you targeted her and drugged me?” asked Shane in his usual cold tone.

With a tear-streaked face, Jacqueline said, “I am jealous of her. She is always all lovey-dovey with you, so how can I

not target her? I thought that the two of you would get a divorce after your last argument, and I waited. Yet, all I

got in return for my patience was the news that you two got back together. That was why I decided to stop waiting

around. I needed to be proactive.”

Suddenly, Jacqueline laughed maniacally as she added, “Since I couldn't break the two of you up, I could only try to

keep you by my side by using underhanded methods. However, my plan failed because I was too kind.”

“Kind?” blurted Shane as he narrowed his eyes. It was obvious that he found her choice of words appalling. He

certainly didn't see any signs of kindness in her.

Jacqueline looked at him and replied, “Yes, I was too kind. I should've given you a date rape drug, but you were on

Jackie's medication, and I worried that you'd have an allergic reaction if I gave you that drug. That was why I used a

sedative instead. If I hadn't, we would've already slept together by the time Joyce showed up.”

That was why she regretted her decision.

Shane didn't understand why Jacqueline hadn't used a date rape drug until she explained everything. Ah, so that's

why.

However, Shane wasn't touched at all.

It didn't matter what drug she used. She was still guilty of drugging him.

“I have never loved you. Do you really think that I'd marry you even if we slept together?” said Shane mercilessly.

Jacqueline's heart skipped a beat. A bad feeling crept up on her and prompted her to ask, “Wouldn't you?”

“No. Why would I marry someone who schemed against me?” said Shane as he looked at her.

Jacqueline shuddered as she demanded, “Why not? I got the paparazzi involved. If we slept together and the

paparazzi spread the news, everyone would think that you raped me. Wouldn't you be worried that Thompson

Group...?”

“I would rather give Thompson Group up than marry you,” said Shane without hesitation.

Jacqueline was instantly lost. She refuted, “Give Thompson Group up? Stop lying, Shane. Your grandpa fought

endlessly to give you that company, and you promised him that you would do right by the company. Why would...?”

“You're right. I promised Grandpa that I would develop Thompson Group, but that was before I learned how he

covered up for Sean. He helped the murderer who killed my parents! Now that I have learned the truth, what

makes you think I will remain loyal to Thompson Group?” said Shane.

Jacqueline was flabbergasted.

That's true. To Shane, his grandpa is an accomplice for covering up for Sean, who murdered his parents. Hence,

why would he honor a promise he made to that man?

By then, Jacqueline's face was as white as a sheet, and her entire body had turned cold.

If Shane doesn't care about Thompson Group, what is the point in me doing all this?
