CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1549

Soon, Jonathan came outside with both pieces of luggage.

He placed them down and was about to go back in to move the rest when a figure appeared behind him.

“Why? Are you going to move again?” the newcomer asked, his dark gaze landing on Jonathan.

This voice...

Jonathan froze in his tracks and blanched in horror. His pupils constricted as his entire being trembled.

It's Stanley! He's already here!

Fear pulsed through Jonathan as the color drained out of his face.

He had no idea that Stanley would arrive that soon. He had assumed Stanley had called Joyce after discovering

their whereabouts and had yet to travel here.

Alas, Stanley was quicker than he had expected.

It was obvious that Stanley was at the local airport when he had called Joyce earlier.

The closest airport was at least a few hours away by car.

They were in a rural area without any public transport. It was difficult to come here without a car. One would have

to change many modes of transportation to get here, and it would take at least a few hours.

He refuses to give up, huh? To make sure we can't escape in time, he only called Joyce to threaten her after

arriving at the local airport. Stanley is too sly, and we are not his match.

Stanley observed Jonathan, who had his fists clenched and was trembling slightly. Narrowing his eyes, he said, “Mr.

Rivers, looks like you've recognized me. I'm honored that you can still recognize my voice even though we last met

years ago.”

“Don't call me that!” Jonathan spun on his heels, seemingly provoked by his words. He glared at Stanley and roared

angrily, “If possible, I don't want to recognize your voice, let alone know you!”

Something glinted across Stanley's eyes, but he said nothing.

Inside the house, Caitlin and Joyce shared a look when they heard Jonathan's voice.

Confused, Joyce asked, “Mom, what happened to Dad? Why is he shouting outside?”

Caitlin remained silent, but her face turned grim.

She had been married to Jonathan for over thirty years and knew him well.

Jonathan was usually mild-mannered and rarely blew his top. Throughout their marriage, she had only seen him

getting emotional a few times—when they came into contact with the Quinns.

She immediately guessed that Stanley was the one who had caused her husband to lose control of his temper.

She heard Jonathan mention, “I don't want to recognize your voice.” It was obvious that he was talking to Stanley.

Caitlin forced out a smile and said to Joyce, “Stay here, Joyce. I'll go out and take a look.”

Joyce nodded obediently. “Okay.”

Caitlin took a deep breath and headed out.

At the door, she spotted two men standing outside. Her face turned pale when she got a clear look at the

newcomer. “Stanley!”

It's him! He's here.

When Stanley saw Caitlin coming out without Joyce, his eyes turned dark.

Does she not know I'm here or does she not want to come out knowing that I'm here? I think it should be the latter.

Jonathan's voice was so loud that even Caitlin came out. Joyce should've come out with her to see what happened.

She didn't come out, so that could only mean one thing—she knew I'd arrived but hid inside deliberately. Ha! Does

she think she can hide from me forever?

“Mr. and Mrs. Rivers, I'm here for Joyce,” Stanley announced icily as he gazed at Jonathan and Caitlin.

Jonathan's expression twisted in fury. “Shut up! You have no right to call my daughter's name!”
