Chapter 1278 Freedom From Hatred

Stanley murmured, “I know.”

Back then, the Quinn family unilaterally severed their relationship with them.

Consequently, their family failed to garner any help from their relatives. Those relatives refused to see them for fear of being dragged into the matter.

If their parents hadn’t chased those relatives away, their family would have been offered to the organization and executed.

The only reason they were able to survive the organization’s hunt for so long was due to the Rivers family’s help.

“Since you know about it, you should be aware that Mr. Rivers and his wife might have made a mistake, but it’s one that’s entirely understandable. You can’t expect perfection or miracles from two ordinary human beings, to the extent of running circles around such a large organization. That’s just not possible. Furthermore, has it occurred to you that Mr. Rivers and his wife were equally devastated over your parent’s death? How do you think they felt when they realized they were responsible for the death of their friend?”

Stanley pursed his lips and didn’t say a word.

Natalie took a deep breath. “Let me tell you, they were filled with remorse and would never forgive themselves for the rest of their lives. I’m sure it has been more than a decade since you last saw what they looked like. All their hair has whitened while their faces are full of wrinkles. Despite just being fifty-two, they look seventy and a lot older than their peers. Do you know what caused that? It’s guilt. All these years, Mr. Rivers and his wife were filled with unimaginable guilt.”

In the beginning, she was only curious as to why Jonathan looked significantly older than men his age. Despite her asking about it, Jonathan refused to tell her.

Later on, it was Joyce who revealed to her the bad blood between Stanley and the Rivers family.

Only then did she feel what a shame it was.

The moment Stanley heard Natalie mention that Jonathan and his wife aged a lot, his eyes narrowed by reflex, for it was something that he wasn’t aware of.
