Caitlin's eyes were red as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Stanley, I don't know how
you found us, but please stop doing this. We came all the way here to escape from you.
Why do you want to drive us to a dead end? I know you hate us and Joyce's baby, but we
told you previously that we won't let the baby appear before you. Just pretend that the
baby doesn't exist and that we're all dead, okay?”
Hearing that, Jonathan pulled her back and pointed an accusing finger in Stanley's
direction. “Don't beg him! He's heartless and won't spare us even if you beg him. If it was
that easy to make him change his mind, he would've spared us ages ago instead of
coming after us.”
Caitlin's lips twitched, and she lowered her head sadly. Yes, he's right. If Stanley was easily
persuaded, why would he come after us stubbornly?
The hatred in Jonathan's and Caitlin's eyes strangely evoked fear in Stanley's heart. He felt
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtheavy-hearted and helpless.
They had never looked at him that way. He knew they were upset with him, as he hated
them and treated Joyce badly. However, they had never despised him.
He should feel satisfied with forcing his enemies into a corner.
After all, they wouldn't have hated him that much if they hadn't fallen into despair.
Instead of satisfaction, Stanley felt really bad. He didn't want them to stare at him that
way.
Stanley's fists balled up as he pursed his lips. “You were the reason my parents died. I
have yet to seek revenge, so why can't I come after you?”
Caitlin's heart wrenched in pain as she looked away.
Jonathan burst out laughing as though he had just heard a joke. There was a hint of regret
and sorrow in his voice as he said, “Stanley, you've always assumed we were the reason
your parents died. We were upset, but as you were young and Joyce loved you, we never
held any grudge against you. To us, you were just a young man. However, I no longer think
that way. Since you broke Joyce's heart and forced her to abort her baby, you are no
longer the young man who loved to smile. You're a devil!”
Devil?
Stanley's pupils constricted when he heard that.
Evidently, he didn't expect Jonathan to call him a devil!
Not knowing Stanley was shocked to hear the word “devil” from his lips, Jonathan
stretched a trembling finger out to point at Stanley. “I've never regretted my actions
previously, but now I regret saving the Quinn family. If I had known my family would suffer
this way, I wouldn't have caved in when your parents contacted me and saved you. If I
hadn't saved you, your death would have nothing to do with us, and Joyce wouldn't have
fallen in love with you. She would have found a man who loved her dearly and married
him. She wouldn't have to suffer from a broken heart, and we wouldn't have to live in fear
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor years.”
Stanley's expression grew icy cold when he heard Jonathan's words. He gave off an
intimidating aura.
If they hadn't saved us, Joyce wouldn't have fallen in love with me? She would marry
someone who loved her? Is he referring to Justin?
He was deep in thought when a clear voice rang out behind Jonathan and Caitlin. “Mom,
Dad, what are you talking about?”
It's Joyce!
Stanley instantly knew who it was. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the person behind
Caitlin and Jonathan darkly.
Sensing his gaze, Jonathan and Caitlin paled in horror.
They were worried that Stanley would harm Joyce. Besides, they were also worried that
Joyce would recover her memories that involved Stanley if she were to meet him.
