Chapter 1643Natalie put her utensils aside right away and looked at Shane intently, curious to know what Stanley
wanted from her.
On the other end of the call, Stanley lowered his gaze and asked, “Who hypnotized Joyce?”
Every hypnotist had a unique way of hypnotizing their patients.
Thus, in order to figure out how to reverse the hypnosis, one had to find out who the hypnotist was and
the method the hypnotist used on the patient.
Joyce could end up having amentia if someone were to try to undo the hypnosis without the
aforementioned knowledge.
Since Natalie was close to Joyce, it was safe to assume Natalie knew the identity of the hypnotist.
noveldramaShane froze momentarily when he heard Stanley's question. After that, he frowned and asked, “Why do
you want the answer to that question? Are you planning to undo Joyce's hypnosis?”
Shane figured out Stanley's intention right away.
“No! He can't reverse Joyce's hypnosis!” Natalie's expression changed dramatically when she heard
those words. If he does that, Joyce will become who she was before this and suffer from being a fool
for love! Before the hypnosis, Joyce's life was filled with darkness, and she had to live without a
glimmer of hope. If the hypnosis is reversed, she will have a mental breakdown sooner or later and
attempt to commit suicide once more! No matter what, Stanley mustn't undo Joyce's hypnosis. Shane saw how anxious Natalie was, so he held her hand to calm her down. He then proceeded to ask
Stanley, “Why do you want to undo Joyce's hypnosis? Are you still looking to take revenge on her?”
Stanley pursed his lips and went silent.
“Stanley, you're as stubborn as a mule. Seeing that you've been there for so long without causing a stir,
I thought you had finally thought things through and accepted what I told you. However, it seems like
you're still as deranged as before.” Shane's expression turned grimmer.
“Who are you to judge me?” Stanley's expression darkened instantly. I'm not reversing Joyce's
hypnosis to take revenge on her, but even if that was what I wanted to do, who gave him the right to
judge me?
“You're right. I can't judge you, but I can also choose to not give you the answer you're looking for. You
can figure that out on your own.”
With that, Shane ended the call.
Shane had long known Stanley would look for Joyce's hypnotist one day to take revenge on her.
Therefore, he had sent the hypnotist away long ago to prevent Stanley from locating the doctor.
Seeing that Shane had ended the call, Natalie asked anxiously, “What's going on, Darling? Is Stanley
seriously looking to reverse Joyce's hypnosis?”
Shane nodded slightly. “That's most probably what he wants to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called
to ask about the hypnotist's identity.” Natalie furrowed her brows. “How could he?”
“He's a man filled with hatred, so this is not a surprise.” Shane held Natalie's hand to comfort her.
“Since he hadn't gone after Joyce and the Rivers family for a while now, I thought he had already
accepted the fact that he's into Joyce and was gradually letting go of the hatred he had for the Rivers
family. Now...” Natalie bit her lip.
Even though she didn't complete her sentence, Shane knew what was on her mind. Narrowing his
eyes, he said, “Let's pay the Rivers family a visit after the competition is over.”
“Huh?” Natalie was stumped. “Darling, are you saying we should go to the Rivers residence?”
“Yes.” Shane nodded. “One of the reasons why the conflict between the Rivers family and Stanley
hasn't been resolved is Stanley's inability to let go. The other reason is that no one has ever intervened
and mediated the conflict. This time around, we'll go as mediators, and maybe we can help them
resolve the conflict. The Rivers family can't run from Stanley for the rest of their lives.”
