Chapter 1295 The Sudden Revelation
A dying wretch…
Jacqueline reckoned even the bodyguards knew what her fate was.
Meanwhile, Shane immediately headed to the study upon arriving at Thompson villa. Silas followed behind as they had some matters to discuss.
Hopefully, Shane can pull himself together.
Of course, while worrying for Shane, she felt a suffocating lump of air within her.
The amount of information Jacqueline had revealed was too much to digest in such a short time. That was why she could not regain her composure even till now.
All this while, Natalie thought the one who kidnapped Connor and caused him to get into a car accident was Jacqueline.
Similarly, she thought the woman was also responsible for landing Stanley in a car accident.
To her surprise, Jacqueline told her the culprit behind everything was Stanley.
Even the fire incident at the textile mill had something to do with him.
While she was still in shock by the sudden revelation, puzzlement stung her, too.
Why would Stanley do that? He’s Connor’s godfather! He has treated Connor and Sharon so well all along. The two of them also see him as their father. Why did he do that? And what about his car accident? Why would he take the risk and put himself in harm? What could his motive be? And not to forget, why did he burn my warehouse? What good is that for him?
Natalie rubbed her forehead wearily as immense frustration overwhelmed her.
I have to find Stanley and clarify everything with him!
With that thought, she immediately fished out her phone and called Stanley.
An emotionless, automated female voice sounded from the other end of the call. “Sorry. The number you’re calling is currently unavailable. Please try again later.”
Why is his phone turned off?
Natalie scrunched her brows tightly.
Is he busy performing surgery, or…
While she was deep in thought, her phone rang suddenly.
Lowering her gaze to check, she realized it was from Joyce.
“Exactly. They’re saying they miss me.” Joyce chuckled.
“When are you going back? I can give you a lift to the airport.”
“There’s no need. I’ll leave later.” Joyce shook her head and refused.
Hearing her rejection, Natalie sighed. “All right, then. I won’t send you over. But you have to tell me about your flight time. I have some gifts for Mr. and Mrs. Rivers. I’ll get someone to bring it to the airport.”
“Sure. It’s at four in the afternoon.”
Natalie noted it down. “I got it. I’ll get someone to bring it over and wait for you at the airport before your flight.”
Joyce merely mumbled a response.
Then, Natalie seemingly suddenly remembered something that she queried, “Oh yes, Joyce. Did you go look for Stanley after that?”
The “after that” she meant was after Stanley cleared the air regarding the culprit.
Joyce grunted in acknowledgment. “Yeah, I did. I went to find him this morning as I wanted to bid him goodbye. But he’s no longer at the hospital.”
