Chapter 1271 Cruel Fate

He was about to head downstairs after leaving the study when he overheard Natalie talking about the killer.

Thinking Natalie had intended to talk to Joyce in private about it, Shane decided to remain upstairs and listen in instead.

That was how he ended up hearing the entire conversation.

“Darling, don’t you think fate is being rather cruel to Joyce and Stanley?” Natalie asked with a wry smile.

They were clearly doing good by sending Stanley’s parents food and supplies, but they ended up exposing their whereabouts and got them killed. I bet Joyce’s parents would be devastated if they find out about it… I don’t think anyone would take kindly to the fact that they got their closest friends killed!

Shane walked up to Natalie and hugged her gently. “Don’t worry too much about this. You already told them the truth, so all that’s left for you to do is let them handle it themselves. Do not get involved in it any further.”

“I know. I won’t get myself involved. I’m just worried about Joyce, that’s all,” Natalie mumbled worriedly.

Shane ran his hand through her hair as he said, “In that case, you can keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn’t do anything rash.”

“Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m planning to do.” Natalie then glanced around and asked, “By the way, where’s Connor?”
