Chapter 1270 In Denial

Refusing to believe Natalie’s statement, Joyce wrapped her arms around her head and shook it profusely in denial. “No! No! That’s not possible! They would never do such a thing!”

Natalie pulled her arms down and looked her in the eyes as she said, “I know you don’t believe me, but your parents weren’t aware of what they did either!”

“What?” Joyce opened her eyes and stared back at Natalie. “You mean my parents didn’t know? In that case, how could you accuse them of revealing Stanley’s parents’ location?”

“Just because your parents weren’t aware of it doesn’t mean they didn’t reveal it by accident. Your parents were the ones sending them food and supplies, so it makes sense for the killer to find them through your parents.”

“So… You mean they unintentionally exposed the location of Stanley’s parents?” Joyce asked while choking back her tears.

“That’s right. Your parents are ordinary citizens, so they weren’t aware that they were being followed when delivering the food and supplies. That’s how the killer was able to find Stanley’s parents.”
