CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

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 call 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.
