"So your assumption is based on this so-called evidence? Have you forgotten one of the dramas I had?"Xander fell silent as Thomas snapped at him. He knew which drama Thomas was talking about.In that drama, the female lead snuck out of the room upon realizing she had slept with the male lead. After her departure, however, the supporting actress entered the room and someone saw her in a disordered manner. Thus, the main actor and everyone else thought the woman from last night was the supporting actress. It was a common plot that could be seen everywhere.However, Xander did not think the reality was like a drama."But, Sir—""Shut up," hissed Thomas. "She can't be Yannie. That's enough. Start all over again!"Don't forget that you only have six months, and it has been over two months. This means you only have three months more left. Work hard. You know what the consequences are if you don't finish the task I gave you."Xander's shoulders stiffened. "I…I know."With that, he sc
Thomas visibly quaked at this.He furrowed his eyebrows and eyed his assistant suspiciously. "You said you don't remember that woman no matter how much I persisted with you. Heck, you even remembered the wrong person and brought back another man's wife! If I didn't know I took away that girl's virginity that night, I might have brought another man's wife back with me. Did you forget that?"And now you're telling me you saw Yannie that morning?"At this point, a look of disgust and anger flashed across Thomas' eyes. "Did you and Xander agree to disgust me on purpose?"They knew how much he hated Yannie, yet they continued to tell him Yannie could be Riley's mother. What fueled them to even be this audacious?Xander and the assistant turned pale as they saw how furious Thomas was.The assistant lowered his voice and said, "Sir, I don't want to lie to you. I'm just…"'I'm just telling you the truth, that's all.'"Just what?" Thomas glared at him coldly and entered the hospital to
"That's right. We also have ample time to nurture feelings with Ms. Riley," said Thomas' assistant.Thomas curled up his lips and glanced at his assistant. "This is the best thing you've said today."The assistant chuckled awkwardly and lowered his head.The fact was…he and Xander did not lie to Thomas at all. The woman he saw that morning was Yannie!When he saw Yannie for the first time since he was here in Merchant City, he thought she looked familiar. It was when Xander mentioned that Yannie could be the woman who had slept with Thomas a year ago that it sprung into his mind.Yannie was that woman!However, since Thomas did not want to accept that fact, he could only keep the truth to himself.On the way to Riley's ward, the three of them continued talking. When they arrived, the nurse at the ICU requested them to put on clean gowns before entering. They did what they were told as they then entered the ICU, the door closing behind them.Through the glass window, people from
"Why do you need to go look for Joshua?" Sean furrowed his brow as he looked at Kate. "Riley isn't in a good condition. She's still in the intensive care unit, and they still haven't found their daughter until now. He's very busy and can't help you handle your problem, so…"Kate's eyebrows knitted together as she turned and looked at Sean in bewilderment. "Why do I need Joshua's help?"She discovered Thomas' secret! She bet Joshua and Luna had no idea that Riley was Thomas' daughter.Before this, she had heard from Luke saying that Joshua and Luna were looking for Riley's biological parents. If they knew Thomas was Riley's father, they would not need to look any further!"You…" Sean furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Kate. "Aren't you going to look for Joshua so he'd say something good about you with Luke—""Is that what you think?" interjected Kate before Sean could finish, smirking coldly as she looked at Sean with an icy expression. "Why do I need to get Joshua to put in the
Joshua furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the butler and Kate. In the end, he burst into laughter. "Alright, you don't need to look anymore. Just come back home."Luna, on the other end of the call, rolled her eyes. "What do you mean, 'come back'? I called you because I want you to help me. It's fine if you have no intention to help, but why do you ask me to go back?""That's because…" Joshua curled his lips into a smile and said with a low pitch, "Ms. Kate Miller is in our house now.""What?!" Luna widened her eyes. "I'll be home!"She hung up the phone immediately and left the control room.Back in Joshua's house, Joshua languidly sat on the couch as he gazed at the woman before him. "What brings you here? Is there something you want to tell me?"Kate frowned and sat on the couch. "Yes, there is."Then, she took a sip of coffee and looked at Joshua. "Should I wait for your wife, or should I tell you now?"Joshua smiled, but there was an undeniable gleam of coldness in his
Joshua curled his lips and sneered as he shifted to a more comfortable posture. "I understand it now."From the looks of it, Thomas did not simply take Malcolm in and let Malcolm change his name to Lucifer Howard because Thomas was a philanthropist. Both of them must have had a deal where Malcolm provided information about Riley to Thomas, and Thomas would take Malcolm in and give him a new name so that Malcolm could return to Merchant City legitimately.However, was Riley genuinely Thomas' daughter?Could there be such a coincidental event in life, or did Malcolm deliberately stir up the conflict between him and Thomas?"Mr. Lynch, what do you understand?" For some reason, Kate was afraid as she looked at the mysterious man in front of her.Although Joshua was a handsome and good-looking man, he reeked of prominence and arrogance. The only time that aura would soften was when Luna was around.However, Luna was not here at the moment. His powerful, suppressive aura scared Kate a
Kate paused for a moment and failed to come up with a further explanation. Even though she said nothing, Luna understood what she was trying to convey.Luna was right on the money; Kate liked Luke.Kate bribed the people in the room so no one could find her, all so she would stay hidden from Luke. It was purely a little tactic that she used on the man she liked. She knew Luke cared about her and that he had promised her family to stop her from missing and losing contact. This was probably why she liked to use these little tactics to stop Luke from locating her and worry about her in return.With that, Luke would have to take some of his attention away from Gwen to look after her.With that in mind, Luna disliked Kate even more, especially since Luna was a friend of Gwen. Should there be a woman like Kate with Joshua… She would have picked a fight with Joshua because of that woman.Nevertheless, Gwen never fussed about it. In fact, Luna never knew there was such a person besides Lu
Luna was startled by Gwen's invitation. She had just driven Kate away with her sarcasm, and all of a sudden, Gwen wanted her to go shopping with Kate!Was Gwen really a person with a big heart, or did she not care about Luke at all?Luna knew that Gwen hated Luke and always tried to escape him, but Luna would not believe it if someone told her that she had no fondness for Luke whatsoever.When Luna delivered her baby, Gwen came all the way from Sea City to look after her. There were many nights when Luna would listen to Gwen crying and calling Luke's name. Although Gwen said she no longer yearned for Luke's love, her eyes would still sparkle every time she mentioned Luke.A person's eyes and emotions would not lie, which was why Luna was left baffled. If Gwen liked Luke, how could she accept having Kate linger around Luke?Inhaling deeply, Luna walked to the side with her phone at hand and lowered her voice, replying, "Gwen, what are you thinking? You know Kate has feelings for Lu
