Chapter 1511
Although that could be true, it was certainly not the main reason.
Even if Stanley knew that the Rivers family had saved his life, it would be hard for him to ept it
rationally. Otherwise, he would not have harbored such a deep hatred for the family for so long.
It appeared that the real reason Stanley had kept the Rivers family alive was that he was in love with
Joyce.

But when did that happen?
Previously, Stanley had imed that Natalie was the woman he loved. He had even gone crazy and
stabbed Shane because of the woman.
“Shane, what are you thinking about?” Jackson asked out of curiosity when he noticed a myriad of
emotions shing across Shane''s face.
Shane shook his head and replied, “Nothing. I''m just thinking how funny it is for Stanley to be hating
and loving Joyce at the same time.”
“It''s really funny, isn''t it? But it''s actually quite sad too.” Jackson sighed before continuing, “Actually,
Stanley reminds me of myself in the past.”
“What do you mean?” Shane asked, fixing his gaze on his friend.
Jackson adjusted his sses and replied, feeling somewhat emotional, “I did not have the courage to
confess to Jacqueline despite loving her for such a long time, causing her to be obsessed with you.
That also yed a part in her losing her mind and creating all those troubles subsequently. However,
Stanley''s situation is slightly different from mine. Besides not having the courage to face the real
reason for his parents'' deaths, he also does not know who he truly loves. If this continues, he would
turn out like me, losing the love of his life and ending up with nothing.”
“That''s what he deserves,” Shane replied cidly. “As an adult, he should be sensible enough and
have the maturity to ept reality. How can he not even know who he loves? It''s not surprising for a
person like him to lose everything he has.”
After saying that, the man walked into the elevator.
Jackson did not follow but merely stood at the spot and watched Shane leave. He could not help but
sigh silently.
Shane is right. It''s natural for an adult who doesn''t have the courage or know what they want to end up
losing everything. There''s nothing worth pitying about.
That applied to both Stanley and him.
Jackson could not stop wondering if the current situation between him and Jacqueline would be any
different if he was a bit braver back then.
That way, even though Jacqueline had killed someone and was sentenced to death, both of them
would at least have a chance to be together and love each other. They would not have to live in pain.
Well, maybe that''s what they call karma!
Jackson looked up and stared nkly at the ceiling above him. Unknowingly, the warm and cheerful
look on his boyish face was gone, and left with nothing but sorrow and bitterness.
Meanwhile, shortly after Shane returned to his car, Ss walked over with Sally.
“Mr. Thompson, can Sal get into the car? Her manager has some matters to attend to and is unable to
Putting her hands together in a pleading gesture, Sally pleaded, “Mr. Thompson, please help me. Don''t
worry. I will make sure that your schedule isn''t disrupted. Ss will send me home after he sends you to
your destination.”
“Get in,” Shane grunted in assent.
Ss and Sally exchanged nces and grinned before thanking Shane simultaneously.
Shane merely closed his eyes and kept quiet.
Ss immediately opened the car door for Sally and helped her get into the front passenger seat.
After the woman buckled her seat belt, Ss returned to the driver''s seat and started the engine.
Perhaps due to Shane''s presence in the car, the couple, who hardly got to meet, found it difficult to
speak even though they had so much to talk to each other about. As such, they could only try to
convey their longing for each other through their eyes.
Half an hourter, the car arrived at Shane''s destination.
After getting out of the car, Shane nced at his watch before saying to Ss, “Send her home first,
and pick me up in two hours.”
