Chapter 1270 In Denial
Refusing to believe Natalie’s statement, Joyce wrapped her arms around her head and shook it profusely in denial. “No! No! That’s not possible! They would never do such a thing!”
Natalie pulled her arms down and looked her in the eyes as she said, “I know you don’t believe me, but your parents weren’t aware of what they did either!”
“What?” Joyce opened her eyes and stared back at Natalie. “You mean my parents didn’t know? In that case, how could you accuse them of revealing Stanley’s parents’ location?”
“So… You mean they unintentionally exposed the location of Stanley’s parents?” Joyce asked while choking back her tears.
“That’s right. Your parents are ordinary citizens, so they weren’t aware that they were being followed when delivering the food and supplies. That’s how the killer was able to find Stanley’s parents.”
Natalie’s reply completely crushed whatever determination Joyce had in her.
The next thing she knew, her vision had faded to black, and she was falling toward the floor.
“Joyce!” Natalie quickly got up to catch her.
“Joyce, are you okay?” she asked while helping her toward the couch.
The news had struck her like a bolt from the blue, and Joyce was panting heavily as she rested her head in Natalie’s embrace.
After what seemed like forever, Joyce slowly sat up straight and exclaimed with a wry smile, “Looks like my family really did cause the death of his parents, after all! Heh… It’s funny how I kept looking for the killer in hopes of proving our innocence, only to find out that we were guilty all along! If we’re the ones who exposed the location of his parents, then we’re no different from the killer!”
Natalie felt her heart ache when she heard the bitterness in Joyce’s tone. “Don’t say that, Joyce…”
