Stanley held his shoulder, which was hurting from the bump against the wall, and stared at Shane with a darkened expression. After a while, he turned around and left.

After Stanley was gone, Shane looked at Justin, who was sitting on the bed, and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Thanks for your help, Mr. Thompson. I'm fine. He hasn't done anything to me yet.” Justin massaged his temples and smiled gratefully.

Shane merely nodded and hummed in acknowledgment without asking any further.

However, Justin suddenly spoke. “Mr. Thompson, where are Joyce and her family now?”

“I can't tell you,” Shane answered directly.

When Justin heard that, a crease appeared between his brows. “Can you share her contact details with me then? I'm very worried about her and her parents.”


The family had left in a rush, and Justin did not even get a chance to say goodbye. He had completely lost touch with them as they had changed their contact details.

He had no news about Joyce and her family at all and was feeling extremely lost and helpless.

“Sorry, I can't.” Shane had his hands in his pocket as he replied coldly, “At least not now. You have seen it too. Shane is no different from a madman right now. He would do anything just to find Joyce and her family. So, it will be better with fewer people knowing their whereabouts. That way, even if Stanley continues looking for them, it would take him a long while before he actually finds them. When that day comes, it is likely that the Rivers family would no longer fear Stanley. I'm sure they would contact you by then.”

After listening to what Shane said, Justin let out a helpless sigh before replying, “I understand. I just can't stop worrying about them.”

“Don't worry. They will be fine under my protection. Besides, Joyce's parents are very happy with their current living environment. It is also a suitable place for Joyce to rest and take care of her baby,” Shane said.

Justin felt a sense of relief and nodded. “That's great to know. I'm glad that Joyce is safe and doing well. That's all that matters.”

The man had come to terms with the situation and was no longer anxious to know where Joyce and her family were. All he needed was to know that they were all right.

He could wait and look for the woman after things with Stanley were settled and Joyce and her family were no longer in danger.

Shane glanced at Justin thoughtfully for a moment. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.

Jackson followed behind him and asked, “Shane, I'm not sure if I've seen it wrongly.”

“What is it?” Shane carried on walking with both hands in his pocket.

“I have a feeling that Stanley likes Joyce,” Jackson replied.
