Chapter 1253 A Sense Of Uneasiness

Natalie arched an eyebrow, but still, she kept mum.

Her cell phone? I've already gotten my hands on it ages ago and contacted Shane. Why would I still hanker after it now? Furthermore, I've got something even better to contact him at present. What's more, I can do so anytime!

Seeing her silence, Jacqueline mistakenly assumed that she had hit the nail on the head. She covered her mouth and guffawed haughtily. "Alas, I'm not going to give you my cell phone, so you can never contact Shane. Just stay here for the rest of your life!"

At that turn of events, Jacqueline's brows furrowed. "Why are you laughing?"

"No reason in particular. It's just that I replace your remark about me staying here for the rest of my life rather funny. Are you so certain that I'll remain here for the rest of my life?" Natalie's smile faded, and she regarded Jacqueline frostily.

For some inexplicable reason, a sense of uneasiness crept into Jacqueline at the sight of the look in Natalie's eyes. She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Left with no other choice, she could only harrumph and retort domineeringly, "Of course! Do you think you can still leave? Sean will never allow you to leave, much less me!"

I'm going to deal with her after settling the score with Sean! I was initially planning to kill her outright, but I've now changed my mind. I'm going to cripple her and confine her on this island so that she'll suffer forever! After all, it's much more torturous to be alive than dead sometimes.

Natalie had no inkling of her thoughts, nor was she interested in knowing about them because she knew that they were undoubtedly nothing good.

"Oh, really? You've got nothing to do with me, so I've never hoped that you'll let me go. Hence, it does you no good to say all this to me!" She chuckled coldly.

At that precise moment, a voice again drifted out of the invisible earpiece in her ear. "Madam, hurry up and get away from Jacqueline. We're going to descend on the island soon. You're currently too near to her. It'll be bad if she hears our approach and takes you hostage."

As Natalie had been keeping the invisible earpiece in her ear without taking it off, Silas and the others naturally heard her conversation with Jacqueline earlier. For that reason, they knew that she was with the latter.

Natalie couldn't answer Silas in front of Jacqueline, so she could only look at Jacqueline with a hint of pity in her eyes. "Oh well, it's no use saying all this to you, so I'm going back to my room first. You'd better watch out."

After saying that, she spun on her heels and strode upstairs.

Jacqueline was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding her motive for coming downstairs and saying a few words to her before returning upstairs. Thus, she shot up from the couch and demanded loudly, "What was the meaning of your words earlier, Natalie? What did you mean by telling me to watch out?" Pretending as though she didn't hear her, Natalie continued heading upstairs. Soon, her figure disappeared up the stairs.

A deep frown marred Jacqueline's countenance, and the uneasiness within her snowballed. Yet, she couldn't figure out why exactly she was feeling unsettled.

Upstairs, Natalie locked the door after entering her bedroom and barred the door with the couch. Only after she had done all that did she tap on the earpiece and say to Silas, "I've gone back to my room, Silas."

While saying that, she released the bee once more.

To her surprise, it wasn't Silas' voice she heard in return but Shane's voice. "I can see that. Come out to the balcony."

The balcony? Silas said they were about to descend on the island soon. Could it be that...

Following that line of thought, Natalie's heart pounded wildly, and she raced toward the balcony.

No sooner had she reached the balcony than she was greeted by the sight of a titanic cruise ship approaching. It was about a thousand meters away from her.

At the sight of the cruise ship, she grew so emotional that tears welled in her eyes. She hastily raised both hands and waved frantically.

Standing on the deck, Shane saw it through the binoculars. He turned and said to Silas, "Notify the captain to speed up."

"Understood!" Silas replied before he picked up the pager and relayed the order.

Shortly after, the speed of the cruise ship visibly increased. That aside, the cruise ship's horn split the air.

Despite the blare of the horn, Natalie didn't replace it grating at all. Instead, she felt that it was incredibly melodious and was music to her ears.
