Chapter 1043
Feel the Way You Feel, My Love
“You did well!” Shane complimented her with a smile.
Feeling a little shy from his praise, Natalie played with her hair in response.
Shane wiped his hair that was still dripping wet. “I’ll be having a business trip in a couple of days, so I’ll
be able to pay you guys a visit.”
Natalie’s eyes lit up with joy. “Great! When will you be coming?”
“I’m not sure of the exact date yet. It all depends on the schedule,” Shane replied while tossing the towel
aside.
Natalie nodded. “Okay, give me a call when you come over. Blow-dry your hair and get some rest now,
Darling.”
“All right.”
Connor came over the moment Natalie got off the phone. “What did Daddy say, Mommy?”
“It’s adult talk, so kids like you shouldn’t be asking about it,” Natalie said while giving him a gentle poke
on the forehead.
The kids were sleeping due to jet lag when the package arrived, so they had no idea what happened.
Because they loved animals a lot, Natalie didn’t plan on telling them about the package either.
After all, hearing about a dead cat in a package was sure to traumatize them greatly.
More importantly, she didn’t want to worry them unnecessarily.
Connor pouted when he saw that Natalie refused to tell him. “Fine! Forget it, then!”
He then walked off to play with Sharon instead.
With a smile on her face, Natalie texted Stanley the information that Shane discovered about the
organization.
Having gotten no response from him after two minutes, she figured he was probably busy and texted
Joyce about it instead.
Joyce was the one who found the badge, and the information about the organization could clear the
Rivers family’s name, so she had the right to know about it too.
Joyce’s response came fairly quickly but in the form of a phone call instead of a text message.
“Is this true, Nat?” Joyce sounded really agitated.
“Yes, it is. Stanley’s parents were killed by the high-ranking members of the organization,” Natalie replied
with a nod.
Joyce tightened her grip on the phone as she said, “This is great! I’ll tell Stanley about this right away!”
She was about to hang up the phone when Natalie said, “I’ve already told him about it, but he hasn’t
replied yet. I think he might be busy at the moment.”
Having calmed down a little, Joyce said with reddened eyes, “Oh, I see… Nat, you have no idea how
happy I am right now! I can finally prove to Stanley that my family is innocent!”
Natalie bit down on her lip. “Joyce, I don’t think this alone is enough to prove anything.”
Joyce’s eyes went wide as she asked, “Not enough? You’ve already found out about the organization
and that his parents were killed by their high-ranking members, right? That means my parents didn’t do
it! How is this not enough to prove our innocence?”
“Of course it isn’t. Stanley’s parents were killed by the high-ranking members, but Stanley could also
accuse your parents of revealing their location to said high-ranking members,” Natalie replied sternly.
Joyce fell silent instantly.
She’s right. Even if we found out about the organization, it still doesn’t prove my family’s innocence…
“Damn it! Why did it have to turn out like this? We finally find a glimmer of hope after so long, only to be
plunged back down to rock bottom. Why would God toy with us like this, Nat? Why?” Joyce said with a
wry chuckle before breaking down in tears.
Natalie let out a pained sigh. “Don’t give up just yet, Joyce. Finding out about the organization may not
be enough to clear your family’s name, but it’s still huge progress. Once we find the high-ranking
member responsible and have him confess how he found Stanley’s parents, your family will be proven
innocent!”
Joyce’s eyes lit up with hope upon hearing that, only to turn gloomy moments later as she said, “It’s not
easy finding the killer, though. They wouldn’t have evaded capture for over a decade if it was that easy.
Besides, it’s like you said. The organization is filled with all sorts of ruthless and dangerous criminals.
How are we going to catch the culprit?”
