Once Natalie arrived at the cargo hold, she saw Jacqueline and Marina locked up in two rooms.

The rooms were originally used to store motorboats. However, the boats were now gone, and the rooms converted

into two makeshift prison cells. At first glance, the cells looked decent.

Natalie turned to look at Marina first.

Marina sat in a corner of the cell with her head buried between her knees. She gave no response nor moved an

inch, seemingly asleep.

After gazing at her for a while, Natalie turned away.

Marina was not the main reason she was there, so she did not pay much attention to her.

Instead, she focused her attention on Jacqueline in the neighboring room.

Natalie approached the second room, gazing at Jacqueline through the iron grille door.

Jacqueline was lying on the floor with her eyes closed. Her face was as white as a sheet, and she was hooked up to

an IV drip. It looked like she was practically at death's door.

Shane narrowed his eyes and asked the two bodyguards standing watch outside Jacqueline's cell, “What

happened?”

“She had a fever. It was a high fever caused by the pain. The doctor on the cruise ship has already checked on

her,” they replied respectfully.

Ah, so that's what happened.

Shane waved his hand as acknowledgment while also motioning for the bodyguard to retreat.

The bodyguards stepped aside at once.

Meanwhile, Natalie gazed down at Jacqueline coldly, gloating over the latter's miserable state.

At that moment, Jacqueline was nothing more than a useless person teetering on the tightrope between life and

death. Watching her lying there, Natalie could not help feeling relieved.

Jacqueline was the one who took Connor away, causing him to end up in a car accident. She was also the one who

picked Sharon up and threw her heavily onto the ground. When I saw Connor and Sharon lying on the hospital beds,

covered in blood, I wished for nothing more than to rip her into a million pieces. I was never the one who initiated a

conflict with her. It was always the other way around. I can take whatever she throws at me, but she dared to drag

two of my children into it and stooped to such vicious means. That's why I vowed to make her pay the price for her

actions. Now that my wish has come true, I'm so happy I could cry.

Natalie's eyes reddened and welled with tears of relief and joy.

“Don't cry,” Shane murmured as he hugged her from behind.

“I'm not crying. These are tears of happiness.” Natalie reached up and dabbed at her eyes.

Shane chuckled. “Ah, I see. I misspoke. You're not crying.”

Natalie turned to look at him and asked, “Shane, what are you going to do with Jacqueline? Will you hand her over

to the police or...”

Handing her over to the police will be going too easy on her. I'm going to handle this myself. With my capabilities,

nothing could be simpler than erasing all traces of her existence. Jacqueline killed my parents, harmed my children,

and nearly killed my wife. Handing someone who has committed such heinous crimes to the police is no different

from letting her go free. Someone like her should remain in my hands, enduring a lifetime of suffering and torture.

As Natalie studied Shane's expression, she knew he was thinking of taking matters into his own hands and meting

out punishment on Jacqueline. Although her voice of reason told her that was not right, her emotional response was

that he had every right to do so.

After all, Jacqueline had done too many evil and despicable deeds.

I already had the urge to rip her to pieces after what she did to Connor and Sharon, so it isn't surprising that he

would be out for blood since Jacqueline murdered his parents. That's only human nature. After all, it's only right for

one to pay off their debts, more so when that person has taken two lives. If we hand Jacqueline over to the police,

they won't sentence her to death because she was only ten years old at the time of the crime. Moreover, she did

not kill them with her own hands, so the death penalty is out of the question. At most, she'll get sentenced to life in

prison. But if that happens, it'll just be like she got off scot-free. That's why I'll support him if he wants to take

matters into his own hands. Besides, no businessman can succeed without getting their hands dirty. If he didn't get

his hands dirty, Thompson Group wouldn't be as successful as it is today.

Taking Shane's hand in hers, she gave it a gentle and reassuring squeeze. “I support you.”

Gazing at her, he asked, “Don't you think I'm a very scary person?”

As Notolie studied Shone's expression, she knew he wos thinking of toking motters into his own honds ond meting

out punishment on Jocqueline. Although her voice of reoson told her thot wos not right, her emotionol response wos

thot he hod every right to do so.

After oll, Jocqueline hod done too mony evil ond despicoble deeds.

I olreody hod the urge to rip her to pieces ofter whot she did to Connor ond Shoron, so it isn't surprising thot he

would be out for blood since Jocqueline murdered his porents. Thot's only humon noture. After oll, it's only right for

one to poy off their debts, more so when thot person hos token two lives. If we hond Jocqueline over to the police,

they won't sentence her to deoth becouse she wos only ten yeors old ot the time of the crime. Moreover, she did

not kill them with her own honds, so the deoth penolty is out of the question. At most, she'll get sentenced to life in

prison. But if thot hoppens, it'll just be like she got off scot-free. Thot's why I'll support him if he wonts to toke

motters into his own honds. Besides, no businessmon con succeed without getting their honds dirty. If he didn't get

his honds dirty, Thompson Group wouldn't be os successful os it is todoy.

Toking Shone's hond in hers, she gove it o gentle ond reossuring squeeze. “I support you.”

Gozing ot her, he osked, “Don't you think I'm o very scory person?”
