Chapter 1700
Chapter 1700 Stanley Is Leaving
Caitlin was first taken aback, then smiled with delight. “Really?”
“Really.” Joyce nodded. “He said it himself a few days ago.”
“That''s just wonderful!” Overjoyed, Caitlin pped her hands.
Joyce added, “Yes, Mom. So, isn''t this good news?”
“Of course it is! If this isn''t good news, then what is?” Caitlin nced at Joyce and continued, “Ever
since he came here, the three of us haven''t had a moment of peace. We''ve been on edge and living
our lives ording to his whims. We''ve been so stressed that we can hardly breathe. Now that I know
he''s leaving, I suddenly feel like I can breathe again. Why didn''t you tell us this good news earlier,
child?”
She couldn''t help but give Joyce a light pat.
Joyce stuck out her tongue and said, “I didn''t realize it then.”
“Oh, you!” Caitlin shook her head helplessly.
“But Mom, don''t get too excited just yet. I just said that he''s only temporarily leaving, not that he''s gone
for good.” Joyce''s expression turned solemn.

Caitlin nodded, “I know, I heard you. But anyway, as long as he leaves, it''s fine. By the way, Joyce, did
he mention where he is going and what he is doing there?” After pondering, Joyce answered as her
eyes glimmered, “He said he''s going to meet Mr. Thompson and that Mr. Thompson has some things
over there that need his assistance.”
Caitlin was first taken aback, then smiled with delight. “Really?”
She didn''t tell in detail what Stanley nned to do since she knew her mom would be worried if she
knew Stanley was about to engage in a life-threatening fight with his enemy.
After all, Shane had helped them a lot. To her mom, Shane was their savior. If something were to
happen to him, her mother would definitely feel sad.
In that case, it was better for her not to say anything.
Upon hearing Joyce''s response, Caitlin didn''t think much and nodded with a smile. “That''s good. So
Joyce, do you think we should take this opportunity to leave this ce?”
Her words instantly sent a shiver down Joyce''s spine. Shocked, she quickly shook her head. “No,
please don''t.”
Joyce thought she was the only one with this idea.
She didn''t think her mom thought the same thing when she heard that Stanley was leaving.
It was evident they were mother and daughter, as both of them thought of the same thing.
“Why not?” Confused, Caitlin looked at Joyce.
Joyce sighed in response. “We can''t do that. At first, when I heard Stanley was leaving temporarily, I
was relieved. At the same time, I was nning to take you two with me and leave to where he couldn''t
find us. But before I could even reveal this n, he had already sensed my intentions, and then...”
Caitlin''s heart skipped a beat. “Then what?”
Joyce looked at her and asked, “Mom, you must have guessed it already, right? What else could he
have done besides making threats?”
For a moment, Caitlin pursed her lips and fell silent. After a while, she finally spoke with a worried
expression. “Is it impossible for us to leave? Do you think he can find us once we leave this ce?”
“Mom.” Joyce rubbed her temple and continued, “He might not be able to find us in a short time after
we leave. But I''m sure he will find us eventually.”
“I-Is he that good?” Caitlin''s face turned somewhat pale.
Joyce couldn''t help but look at her helplessly. “Yes, he is. Don''t forget, Mom. We only managed to hide
so well this time because of Mr. Thompson''s help. But in the end, he still tracked us down. So there''s
no doubt about his capabilities.”
Caitlin fell silent again, only resuming the conversation after a few seconds. “You''re right. I wonder how
he found this ce and even came here.”
“Someone told him.” Joyce smiled bitterly. “That person is Mr. Thompson''s enemy. He nted a spy by
Mr. Thompson''s side, who then eavesdropped on our information. That person then contacted Stanley,
and that''s how Stanley found out.”
