When Natalie heard that Stanley had already realized the disappearance of Joyce and her family, apart from letting out a sigh, she was not taken aback by the news at all.
That was because she had already known that Stanley would find out.
It would be weird if he didn't.
Moreover, she also guessed that Stanley would suspect that she had helped to move Joyce away.
He may even call later to interrogate her about Joyce and her family's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, her decision to help Joyce resulted in the end of her friendship with Stanley.
After sighing, Natalie forced a smile to her lips. “I hope that Stanley won't cause any trouble for us.”
She was afraid that Stanley would not be able to cope with Joyce's departure and go crazy, pulling some irrational actions.
It was not like he had not done it before.
When Natalie recalled how Stanley caused Connor's accident and set fire to her factory, she could feel a headache coming.
“Don't worry. You have me. He won't get a chance to fool around,” Shane said in a low voice as his eyes narrowed dangerously.
This time, a genuine smile could be seen on Natalie's face. “You're right. I don't have to worry because my husband is amazing. But even if Stanley really does do something crazy, I hope you will show him mercy. Don't threaten his life.”
Shane knew very well why she wanted to protect Stanley. His furrowed eyebrows soon relaxed as he replied, “All right. No matter what, I won't take his life.”
Stanley had saved her life and also their two children's before.
With that thought in mind, he could not actually kill Stanley.
However, Shane was more than capable of making Stanley regret his actions for the rest of his life.
“All right, then.” With Shane's promise, Natalie let out a sigh of relief.
After that, they chatted for a short while before ending the call.
Natalie kept her cell phone away and returned to the competition venue.
When Lina noticed her return, she lowered her voice and asked, “How did it go?”
“Joyce has already left.” Natalie nodded.
