Chapter 1270Both her eyes were red and filled with tears.
In order to prove to Stanley that she and her family were innocent, Joyce had spent over ten years
trying to find out who the killer was.
Unfortunately, all of her efforts yielded no results no matter how hard she tried.
As such, it was only natural for her to be overwhelmed with joy and relief when Natalie managed to find
the killer.
“It was Sean who helped me with the investigation,” Natalie replied.
Joyce froze. “Wait, what? Sean did?”
“Yup. You should also know that both Sean and the killer come from the same organization. That's why
he was able to find that information so quickly. Sean has nothing to do with the death of Stanley's
parents, so I believe he has no reason to lie to me about this,” Natalie explained.
Joyce nodded. “That's true, but did he make you promise him anything in return for investigating this
incident? If that's the case, I'd rather—”
Natalie cut her off, “Surprisingly, he didn't. I thought he would at first, but he ended up not asking for
anything in return, so you don't have to worry about it!”
Joyce breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Natalie was telling the truth. “Okay, that's good to
hear...”
“Sean may have found out who the killer is, but he didn't help catch the guy. We still have to catch him
ourselves,” Natalie reminded her.Joyce chuckled. “That's fine. He was never obligated to catch the killer anyway. The fact that he helped
with the investigation is good enough for me. Now that we know who the killer is and how he looks like,
it'll be a lot easier for us to catch him. By the way, Nat, did Sean tell you why this guy wanted to kill
Stanley's parents?”
“Yes, he did.” Natalie let out a sigh and told her everything she knew about the killer's motives.
Joyce bit down on her lip and slammed her fist against the table after hearing that. “I see... So he did it
to silence them after they refused to join the organization... D*mn, this wicked criminal organization
needs to be stopped!”
noveldramaNatalie nodded. “They really do!”
“All right, I'll be on my way now, Nat. I need to go tell Stanley about this and prove my family's
innocence!” Joyce said while reaching for her handbag.
Having recalled something, Natalie grabbed her by the arm. “Wait!”
Joyce turned around and looked at her in confusion. “What is it, Nat?”
“Joyce, I...” Natalie's lips moved, but the words were stuck in her throat.
Joyce had a bad feeling in her gut when she saw Natalie struggling to speak her mind, but she
maintained a smile as she said, “It's okay, you can go ahead and tell me.”
“Joyce, I don't know if it's a good idea for you to tell Stanley about this... You see, your parents really
did have something to do with the death of Stanley's parents,” Natalie mumbled.
The smile on Joyce's face was frozen in place when she heard that, and her handbag slid off her
shoulder as her arms fell to her sides.“What? Are you saying that my parents had something to do with their deaths?” she asked with a
hoarse voice.
Natalie nodded and lowered her head to avoid her gaze. “Yes. They revealed the location of Stanley's
parents.”
Joyce brushed Natalie's hand off and shouted, “That's impossible! How is that possible? You told me
that the man in this photograph is the killer! He's the one who killed Stanley's parents! Besides, both of
our parents are very close friends, so there's no way my parents would've revealed their location!
You're lying to me, right, Nat? You must be lying to me!”
“I'm not lying to you, Joyce. Everything I said is true.” It pained Natalie to see Joyce so upset, but she
was determined to tell her the truth anyway.
After all, it was better for Joyce and Stanley to find out about it sooner than later.
“Joyce, I don't know if it's o good ideo for you to tell Stonley obout this... You see, your porents reolly
did hove something to do with the deoth of Stonley's porents,” Notolie mumbled.
The smile on Joyce's foce wos frozen in ploce when she heord thot, ond her hondbog slid off her
shoulder os her orms fell to her sides.
“Whot? Are you soying thot my porents hod something to do with their deoths?” she osked with o
hoorse voice.
Notolie nodded ond lowered her heod to ovoid her goze. “Yes. They reveoled the locotion of Stonley's
porents.”Joyce brushed Notolie's hond off ond shouted, “Thot's impossible! How is thot possible? You told me
thot the mon in this photogroph is the killer! He's the one who killed Stonley's porents! Besides, both of
our porents ore very close friends, so there's no woy my porents would've reveoled their locotion!
You're lying to me, right, Not? You must be lying to me!”
“I'm not lying to you, Joyce. Everything I soid is true.” It poined Notolie to see Joyce so upset, but she
wos determined to tell her the truth onywoy.
After oll, it wos better for Joyce ond Stonley to find out obout it sooner thon loter.
