“Well, isn't this normal? We've said that no one would be willing to keep moving around. Moreover, now that Stanley is injured, Joyce's father won't be able to leave until Stanley wakes up. Hence, only Joyce and her mother could leave. However, their family is so close-knitted, so they are naturally unwilling to leave Joyce's father behind. Therefore, it's only normal that they didn't leave,” Lina said, crossing her legs.
Natalie poured her a cup of coffee. “That's true, but there's a new problem now.”
“What is it?” Lina straightened her back.
Natalie narrowed her eyes. “It was Mr. Rivers who injured Stanley. I don't know if Stanley will hold him legally responsible when he wakes up.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Oh. This is indeed a huge problem. I was so focused and delighted by Stanley getting hurt that I didn't think about this.”
Lina grabbed her hair before continuing, “This is really troublesome. Although I have never met Stanley, I have heard so much about him from you guys that I think I know his personality. He's a petty and vengeful person. Since Mr. Rivers laid his hands on him until he had to go to the hospital, he will definitely not let Mr. Rivers go. If he doesn't hit Mr. Rivers back, he will send the latter to jail. Either way, Mr. Rivers won't have an easy time.”
Natalie nodded. “That's right. No matter what, it will only be troublesome.”
“Joyce won't sit by and watch Stanley take his revenge on her father. She will definitely do something to make Stanley forgive her father. If Stanley asks her to abort the baby in exchange for sparing her
father, she will definitely agree to it. After all, she won't just stand by and watch Stanley get back at her father.” Lina sighed deeply.
Natalie pursed her lips. “You're right. That's what I'm most worried about.”
“Then, you should go and ask Mr. Thompson to help! As long as he intervenes, they will be fine,” Lina urged.
Natalie shook her head. “No, Mrs. Rivers told me she doesn't want me to intervene in this. She thinks she has caused us too much trouble, so she emphasized that she doesn't want Shane or me to interfere. I can't do anything about this.”
Lina shrugged her shoulders helplessly. “I see. This is what happens when one doesn't want to owe anyone a favor. They'll feel like they're always bothering you and will feel guilty about it.”
“That's right, so I'm not intervening in this situation. I don't want them to feel burdened by me. If I intervene, they will definitely find a way to repay me. Given their current situation, they'll feel like it's not enough no matter what they repay me with. Besides, they'll spend their entire lives feeling grateful to me. That's not what I want.” Natalie smiled helplessly.
Lina agreed, “You're right, but are you really not going to do anything?”
Natalie lowered her gaze. “Of course not. Mrs. Rivers said they would find a way to deal with Shane, so I won't intervene for now. I will see what they're doing. If they really can go against Stanley, I'll naturally not stand in their way. If not, I'll let Shane take action. No matter what, I can't let anything happen to the Rivers family.”
Looking at her serious expression, Lina felt her words made sense. “I guess there's no other way.”
“Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I still have some work to do. What about you?” Natalie looked at her as she changed the subject.
Lina smiled. “What a coincidence. I have some work to do too.”
“Then, let's go to the study first and work for a while. We still have some time before we go to the clubhouse,” Natalie said, looking at her watch.
As it was the day for the participants to exhibit their completed clothing pieces, they didn't have to go to the clubhouse early.
When Lina heard Natalie's words, her eyes brightened. “Sure, I was just feeling unmotivated working alone. Let's go!”
