Chapter 1782 You Deserved It
Sean chuckled lowly.
“Shameless!” Natalie spat through clenched teeth, her eyes bloodshot. “Even if I die, I will never be with you.”
“That's fine. That'll come later. No one knows what will happen in the future, anyway. Perhaps you might fall for me if we spend enough time together?” Sean burst into a maniacal laugh.
Natalie coldly responded, “Dream on! That will never happen!”
“How about we give it a try then?” Sean suddenly uncocked the gun.
That sound immediately sent everyone present into a panic.
Shane's pupils constricted, and his face sank drastically.
“Sean, how dare you do that!”
Sean looked up at him. “Why wouldn't I dare? Shane, you're always one step ahead of me since young. I'm the eldest grandson of the third generation of the Thompson family, but why am I always being overshadowed by you? Why do you always have more than I do in every aspect? You got our parents' love, Grandpa's favor, and now, you even snatched the woman I love. This world is truly too unfair.”
“So, you hated Shane so much because you're jealous?” Natalie mocked.
Sean snorted. “Exactly. We're both descendants of the Thompson family, but why do I have to be inferior to him?”
“So what? Does that mean he deserves to die?” Natalie angrily questioned. “Everyone is born different, which means everyone will lead a different future. It's not Shane's fault that you were born into a family that doesn't love you. How can you blame him for everything? He isn't the cause of your misfortunes. You have no right to blame him, much less get jealous of him. You're the worse of the whole lot. Even if no one likes you, don't you know how to love yourself and fight for your interests? Sadly, you've never done that. All you know is to push the blame on others, especially Shane. I can only say that you deserve it for landing yourself in this predicament!”
Natalie's words were undeniably piercing to the heart.
The corners of Shane's eyes twitched. He wanted to ask her to stop talking and stop provoking Sean as he was worried the latter would shoot her.
However, Stanley stopped him. Shaking his head, the former shot him a look, informing him that the sniper had responded and was ready to shoot Sean dead any time.
As such, there was no harm in letting Natalie continue. Perhaps Sean might even expose his weakness after getting provoked, making it easier for the sniper to shoot him.
Eventually, Shane remained silent and did not stop Natalie from speaking up.
Meanwhile, a hint of confusion flashed across Sean's eyes after he heard Natalie's words. Before long, he broke into a hysterical laugh. “I deserve it? So, in your perspective, you think I deserved it for landing myself in this predicament. You're right; I should love myself and fight for myself if others don't. I've never done that before, but perhaps I can still do it now. Nat, you should know I've always loved you. I want nothing else now except for you. How about we die together?”
At the sight of the look of terror on Natalie's face, Sean pulled the trigger while wearing a grin on his face.
“No!” Shane yelled at the top of his lungs as he rushed toward Natalie.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
The next moment, a fountain of fresh blood spurted out and splashed onto Natalie's face. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing how Sean kept his smile as he collapsed onto the ground with a bullet shot through his head, Natalie widened her eyes and shrieked in astonishment before passing out.
On the verge of losing her consciousness, she saw Shane and Stanley running toward her.
Two days later...
Startling awake from a nightmare, Natalie cried aloud and sat upright immediately.
Shane, who was taking a short nap by the bed, jolted awake after hearing her voice. He looked at her in surprise. “Natalie, you're finally awake.”
Drenched in sweat, she stared at the man. She parted her lips, seemingly intending to say something, but out of fear, she hesitated.
Shane pulled her into his embrace. “Don't be afraid. I'm here. Fear not.”
