Taking his cell phone out, Shane glanced at the caller ID, only to see that it was a call from Stanley. In a flash, surprise washed over him.

Needless to say, he did not think that the man was calling at that hour to ask about the identity of Joyce's hypnotist once more.

After all, Stanley knew that Shane would never tell him the answer. Hence, he would never ask again.

Consequently, it was because of some other matter that the man called at that hour.

Sure enough, Stanley snorted on the other end of the phone upon hearing Shane's question. “I contacted Sean a while ago.”

At the mention of that name, Shane immediately narrowed his eyes. “Sean? As expected, the two of you have each other's contact.”

Stanley was not surprised that the man surmised that.

Since Shane knew that he obtained the whereabouts of the Rivers family from Sean, the man would undoubtedly suspect that he could contact the latter.


However, he did find it surprising that Shane never once asked him about Sean's whereabouts or contact information despite knowing that he might be in contact with the latter.

Verily, he had no idea whether Shane was confident that he could find Sean by himself or because of some other reason.

“I asked him about Joyce's hypnotist, and he told me everything,” Stanley admitted, nudging his glasses.

At that, Shane's eyes narrowed a fraction. “So?”

It did not come as a surprise to him that Sean was aware of the identity of Joyce's hypnotist.

Considering the fact that the man knew about her undergoing hypnosis, it was no surprise that he knew the hypnotist's identity.

“I don't need that hypnotist to undo Joyce's hypnosis. I can do it by myself so long as I know the person who performed the hypnosis. As such, it's of no use that you moved him.” Stanley's lips curved into a smirk.

In response, Shane harrumphed. “If so, do it, then. As for whatever is to become of her henceforth, that has nothing to do with me anymore.”

I've already done all I could, and I won't interfere in whatever follows. If Joyce were to recover her memories and plunge back into the abyss of torment, that would be on him. Natalie won't blame me either. Ultimately, I've already done my best.

“Naturally, I'll undo her hypnosis. But not now,” Stanley replied evenly.

Shane quirked a brow. “In that case, why are you telling me all this?”

“I didn't call you to boast that I've already learned of the hypnotist's identity. Instead, it's to warn you about Sean's final conspiracy.” Stanley narrowed his eyes dangerously, his expression turning significantly grimmer.
