Had it not been for Shane, Justin would not even know that Joyce and her family had left J City. Two days ago,
Shane's people informed Justin of the Rivers family's plan to leave the city so the man would be ready.
Even though Justin asked where the family was going, Shane's subordinate did not tell him because the fewer
people had that information, the less likely it would fall into Stanley's hands.
Justin figured that was why the Rivers family did not contact him during that period. They are probably worried that
Stanley would be able to trace them if he knew they have called me.
Despite feeling sad that the Rivers family left without saying goodbye, Justin understood that was the only way
Joyce could safely give birth to the baby since Stanley was hot on their heels.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, he could not help sighing miserably when he thought about how the family's departure could mean the end of
the relationship between him and Joyce.
The reason Justin was in the city was so that he could be with Joyce.
Unfortunately, the two did not get to be together for long before they were forced to be separated from each other
again.
Nothing much happened between them and Joyce hardly had any feelings for him in the first place. Hence, being
apart from the woman marked the end of their relationship.
“I don't think so!” Stanley had no idea what was going through Justin's mind, but he refused to believe that the
Rivers family would leave without informing Justin.
After Stanley returned, he learned that Joyce was seeing a man, he did some investigation and found out that her
parents adored the man. The Rivers family put him on a pedestal, so why would they not tell him where they have
gone? On top of that, he only ended up in a hospital because of their daughter.
“Think whatever you like, but what he said is true. The Rivers family didn't tell him their whereabouts,” stated Shane
in a cold voice just when Justin was about to say something.
With a grim face, Stanley turned to the voice with Justin as Shane and Jackson entered the room.
“It was a mistake to come here because he really can't answer your question,” continued Shane, looking at the
surprised Stanley.
“Mr. Thompson,” greeted Justin with a nod.
After greeting Justin back, Shane shifted his attention back to Stanley. “I'm the one who arranged the Rivers family's
departure, and I didn't tell Justin where they went, so there's nothing you can do to get any useful information out
of him.”
“Why are you here?” questioned Stanley with clenched fists.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I had some business to tend to, and I thought I'd come by when I saw you here looking for trouble,” replied Shane
calmly. “Stanley, if I were you, I'd stop wasting my time searching for the Rivers family. As I have said before,
there's no way I'd allow you to find them. Not only am I doing this to protect them but I made my wife a promise.”
“Protect them?” scoffed Stanley, seemingly amused by Shane's words. “Do you actually think you can protect the
Rivers family, Shane? Can you hide them forever? As long as I keep searching, I'll find them someday. How will you
protect them then?”
“How dare you even think about getting revenge on Joyce and her parents!” shouted Justin while clenching his fists,
looking absolutely furious.
“Why wouldn't I? Am I supposed to just let them off the hook after what they did to my parents?” sneered Stanley.
“You're as stubborn as a mule, aren't you?” asked Shane rhetorically while shaking his head. “I told you that the
Rivers family wasn't the reason your parents died. In fact, you owe them because they helped you. It's obvious that
you didn't understand what I was trying to tell you since you're still convinced the Rivers family was responsible for
their death. People like you need to get your brain looked at.”
