Both 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!”

Natalie 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.

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.

“I'm not lying to you, Joyce. Everything I soid is true.” It poined Notolie to see Joyce so upset, but she wos
