Even if Stanley was beaten to death, Jonathan felt that he deserved it.

Joyce shook her head. “Dad, we shouldn't do this. We live in a lawful society, and if anything happens to him, we'll have to bear the legal consequences of it.”

Her explanation made Jonathan fall silent.

He was not a man of no reason, and he knew that he would have to pay the price if anything really happened to Stanley.

Yet, the thought of what Stanley had done to the Rivers family and to Joyce made him desperately wish to kill Stanley to end it all.

Nevertheless, he was well aware that the Rivers family would be brought to ruins if Stanley really died. He would have to go to jail for his crime. His wife would be devastated, and no one would be able to take care of Joyce and the baby in her stomach.

For the sake of the Rivers family, he could not just let Stanley die.

Sighing, Jonathan rubbed his temples and said, “I know. Call the ambulance.”

“Okay.” Joyce nodded and went to get her phone.

When Caitlin saw her enter, she quickly asked, “Joyce, how is it?”

Caitlin had stayed in the house because she did not want to see Stanley.

As Joyce made the call, she told her mother what had happened outside.

Caitlin was infuriated to hear that Stanley had been beaten within an inch of his life by Jonathan. “That old man always doesn't know when to stop! What would happen to the two of us if he really killed Stanley? Has he ever thought of that?”

Of course, despite her grumbles, Caitlin understood where Jonathan's impulse was from.

After all, what Stanley had done was enraging.

Joyce told the hospital their address, and soon, the hospital sent an ambulance over to whisk Stanley away. Jonathan climbed aboard the ambulance as well, for Stanley could not go to the hospital without someone by his side.

Despite his reluctance, he had no choice but to tag along.

In no time, Joyce and Caitlin were the only ones left in the house.

Caitlin turned to the few suitcases outside the house and let out a sigh. “It looks like we're not going anywhere today.”

Joyce smiled. “It's okay. I didn't want to move anyway.”

“Who would like to keep moving?” Caitlin muttered. “We're just forced to do this.”
