“Are you calling me crazy?” Stanley's eyes instantly turned blood-red.

“What are you if not a lunatic? Normal people could tell that the Rivers family was innocent; only you insist that the family is your enemy. How are you not crazy?” voiced Shane calmly, pursing his lips.

“Mr. Thompson is right,” chimed in Justin. “They saved you, and you repaid them with hate. We call that ingratitude. If I could, I'd turn back time and ask Mr. and Mrs. Rivers not to help you!”

“You're not the one who lost your parents, so of course, you can get on your high horse and accuse me,” scoffed Stanley.

“Nobody's accusing you of anything. We simply can't stand your craziness,” stated Shane coldly.

“My craziness?” Stanley got so upset that his face turned as grim as death while his fists shook. “They made me like this!”

“Forget him, Mr. Thompson. There's no point in wasting your breath on him. He probably won't regain his sanity until Mr. and Mrs. Rivers are dead,” uttered Justin as he gave Stanley a disgusted look.


Holding his chin, Shane agreed with Justin. “Mr. Sutter is right. You should just leave, Stanley. With me around, you won't get to threaten anybody or find out where the Rivers family is. If you hate them so much, why are you still looking for them? Why don't you just pretend as if they're dead? You're not actually thinking about murdering them, are you?”

Stanley narrowed his eyes when he heard Shane.

“Besides, do you believe that you have what it takes to kill them?” inquired Shane while staring coldly at Stanley, whose pupils immediately shrank.

“What does that mean?”

“Exactly what I said. Do you really think you have what it takes to murder the Rivers family?” Shane continued to gaze at Stanley as he added, “I don't think you do.”

Raising an eyebrow, Justin was obviously surprised to hear Shane's words.

Stanley had a similar response. “What makes you think I don't? What a joke!”

“The fact that you still haven't killed them even after all these years,” answered Shane indifferently. “As I have said, you could've murdered the entire family long ago if you wanted to for you didn't have to wait this long. Yet, they're still breathing, which means you don't have what it takes to kill them. Heck, you probably don't even want them dead. That makes you look like a fool, doesn't it?”

Stanley's pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole as his body shook because Shane could see through him like a glass.

“I see,” uttered Justin, nodding in realization, before Shane added, “You don't hate the Rivers family, Stanley. You just need them as an excuse to hide your weakness.”

“Stop it!” roared Stanley like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
