He thought Jonathan was angry when he hit him with the broomstick, but it was only now
that he finally had a taste of Jonathan's wrath.
Even Joyce was surprised by Jonathan's actions. She covered her face and cried out,
“Dad!”
Jonathan ignored her and took two steps toward Stanley. Then he grabbed Stanley by the
collar and pulled him up.
Although Jonathan was no longer as sturdy as he used to be when he was younger, he was
still a man who had once worked as a blue-collar worker. He was still more powerful than
Stanley, who only wielded a scalpel on a daily basis.
That was why Jonathan could easily lift Stanley into the air.
He stared at Stanley with bloodshot eyes and said through gritted teeth, “How dare you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcall my daughter to come to you, Stanley? Have you forgotten about me? I've never even
called my daughter to come to me in that tone, so who do you think you are to do that?
You're but an ungrateful man! If I had known that the Rivers family was going to end up
like this because of you, I wouldn't have saved your family back then. My resentment,
Stanley, you have no idea the extent of my resentment!”
Stanley had never seen Jonathan as maniacal as this, and for a moment, he was at a loss
for words.
After all, the Riverses had always submitted to him and had no words of protest.
That made him sure that the Riverses were the ones who had killed his parents and that
they were acting like that out of guilt.
Yet, when Jonathan abruptly turned aggressive, he froze.
Jonathan had no idea what Stanley was thinking about. He regarded Stanley with a scowl
on his face and hissed, “Do you know why I've been tolerating everything you've done?
It's not because I think I've wronged the Quinn family, but because of Joyce. I'm doing this
for my daughter!”
Stanley's pupils constricted when he heard that.
This wasn't for the Quinn family?
Jonathan tossed Stanley to the ground. “My daughter likes you. She loves you, so as her
father, I was willing to tolerate you for her. Joyce was always sure that she would win you
over as long as she gave you her sincere heart. She was so sure she would find the
evidence to prove that her family wasn't the one to kill your parents. She was so certain
that you would forgive the Rivers family and be with her when that happened. For the
sake of her wish, I've been tolerating everything that you've done.”
“Dad...” It was at that moment Joyce finally found out how many tough times her father
had to go through for her sake.
She did not have any memories of it, but she knew it was something that had happened,
for the wave of guilt she felt could not be fake.
“I'm sorry, Dad...” Joyce's eyes turned red.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had wasted her parents' effort in raising her and educating her.
They're doing this for me, but what did the past me do for them? I was so hung up on a
man who didn't love me in return, and I shamed myself. I really don't deserve to be their
daughter.
Upon hearing his daughter's apology, Jonathan stiffened. He turned around to see the
young woman crying, and his heart ached.
He turned his head back to Stanley and looked daggers at him.
He knew that Joyce was apologizing after finding out how hard it had been for him and her
mother—she felt that she had made things difficult for them and was filled with guilt.
Nevertheless, he did not blame his daughter for that. If anything, he blamed Stanley for it.
Stanley should not have survived and appeared in front of his daughter.
Without Stanley, Joyce would not have yearned for a man so badly, and she would not
have suffered so much. That thought fueled the flames of fire in Jonathan. He lifted his leg
and kicked Stanley harshly. “This is all your fault! You hurt my daughter! You should have
died all those years ago. You shouldn't have survived. Your survival brought harm to my
daughter, and now I'm regretting ever helping you all back then. Why did I do that?”
