CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1558






















Considering the evil intentions Stanley harbored toward Joyce and the fact that he would definitely not tolerate the existence of the baby she was carrying, Natalie was worried that he would force Joyce to abort it.

Stanley's chauvinistic character made it impossible for Joyce to win in a direct confrontation.

Warmed by Natalie's concern, Joyce replied with a smile, “I'm fine. Don't worry, Nat.”

“Are you sure?” Natalie furrowed her brows. She just couldn't put her mind at ease.

Joyce nodded. “I'm really okay. Stanley did find me here, but he didn't do anything. Instead, he was hospitalized after being beaten up by my dad.”

Natalie choked on her saliva and took a few seconds to regain her senses. “Wait... Mr. Rivers beat him up?”

Natalie's shock was understandable, for the turn of events was truly unbelievable.

She knew better than anyone else how much the Riverses feared Stanley.

Jonathan beating him up was something that exceeded her wildest imagination.

Joyce knew the reason behind Natalie's shock, as she, too, was equally taken aback when her father struck Stanley.

Even though she had lost all the memories she had with Stanley and didn't know the depths of her family's fear of him, she could tell how terrified her family was of him from how she trembled upon hearing his name and the looks on her parents' faces.

The fact that her father could overpower his fear of Stanley and beat the latter up elicited both shock and admiration from her.

“Yes, that's what my dad did. In fact, I suspect that if murder wasn't considered a crime, he would have probably killed Stanley and put the matter to an end.” Joyce pinched the space between her brows while letting out a sigh.

Natalie's lips pursed in response. “Don't ever think that way. If Stanley is killed, that's the end of Mr. Rivers too.”

“I know. That's why I stopped him at the crucial moment and called for the ambulance,” Joyce reassured Natalie.

Natalie let out a sigh of relief. “Good. Anyway, are you and Mrs. Rivers really sure that you don't want to leave? What made you come to such a decision?”
