Luna furrowed her brow in confusion. "What're you talking about, Yannie?"Why was she saying this all of a sudden?Yannie continued to sob, "I… Haven't you seen the news yet, Ms. Luna? Someone took a photo of me and Mr. Lynch and put it on the news!"You have to believe me, Ms. Luna; there's nothing going on between me and Mr. Lynch! I… You know full well how I'm doing now, and I haven't even moved on from the guilt of losing my child yet…so how could I possibly have tried to sleep with another man?"Besides, you've always treated me kindly, and Mr. Lynch isn't only your husband but the father of your four children, too… I'd never, ever try to sleep with him! You have to believe me!"Tears slid down Yannie's cheeks as she said, "Ms. Luna, I never knew something like this would happen! I—I don't know how else to explain it to you… Please… Please just trust me, and trust Mr. Lynch, okay?"Luna furrowed her brow upon hearing this.No matter how clueless she had been initially, she
Yannie immediately nodded. "That's right! Ms. Luna, you have to believe me!"I met with Mr. Lynch because…because we had some business to talk about!"Luna replied in a whisper, "Yannie, I trust that both you and Joshua are innocent, but even if you are, you have to tell me the truth—what were you and Joshua talking about that day?"Unless you tell me the truth right now…I won't be able to believe you fully."Yannie curled her fingers tightly around the phone.Truth be told, she wanted nothing more than to tell Luna that she and Joshua were just business partners—Joshua had promised her money, and her task was to get close and spy on Thomas!However, she could not tell Luna this.According to Joshua, she was forbidden to talk about their deal to a third person without his permission, and if she violated this, she would have to pay double in retribution.This meant that if she told Luna the truth, not only would she fail to receive the money Joshua promised, but she would even h
After Yannie passed the milk to the servant when she went back downstairs, she stormed off Joshua's house and went straight to Thomas' residence. Over the last few days, Luna had been busy tending to Bonnie, so Yannie had been the one following up with Thomas' side on work matters. As such, Yannie was more than familiar with where Thomas was staying.She was so angry that she chose to take a taxi, a far cry from her usual thrifty mannerism. On a normal day, it would take her half an hour to reach Thomas' mansion from Joshua's house on the motorcycle. With the taxi, it only took 10 minutes.When she got off from the taxi, she rushed into his compound angrily. "Thomas! Thomas! Get the hell outside!"She stood in the empty living room in the mansion while calling out Thomas' name angrily. "Come out here right now! You dare to do what you did but don't have the guts to admit it? Not daring enough to come to see me after doing those disgusting things?!"…A man who was sitting in the s
Why should Thomas damage his relationship with Wendy just because of Yannie?He took a deep breath and furrowed his brow before taking the movie script from the table and forcing himself to read it.Even so, he could hear the voices of those two women from downstairs."So you're Yannie?" rang Wendy's voice."I am. What's up? Who are you? Where is Thomas? Ask him to come out here and face me!" replied Yannie, her anger still evident in her tone.As he heard Yannie talking rudely, he burst out laughing all of a sudden, much to his assistant's shock."Sir…" The assistant said carefully, "I—Is anything funny in the script?"Strange. His movie script was a sad romance type.Thomas furrowed his brow upon hearing his assistant's question. He rolled his eyes and hissed, "Shut up! Why do you have to talk so much?"He continued to read the movie script while eavesdropping on what was happening downstairs."I advise you to stay away from Thomas, sis. Do you know how bad your reputation
Wendy's eyebrows furrowed as she watched Yannie making a ruckus. If there was any hostility she had toward this rude woman in the past, it vanished entirely at this very minute. How could a rude, loud village girl be of any threat to her? Even if Thomas was blind and deaf, he would not be interested in this girl!With these thoughts in her mind, Wendy smiled coldly. "You said you want to bother Thomas forever? Do you think you can? Has he even cared about you before?"After all those years Thomas had been in the entertainment industry, he had seen all kinds of women. He could not possibly give a damn about Yannie!Yannie narrowed her eyes and said nothing. If her baby was not dead, she could do as she said—never letting go of Thomas forever. However, she was just saying things, too.Hence, she took a deep breath. "Ms. Fann, I don't want to fight with you or take anything from you. I'm here to settle a score with Thomas!"With that, Yannie went up the stairs and yelled, "Thomas How
With that, Yannie straightened herself and continued up the stairs.At that moment, Wendy noticed that the door of the study room was ajar, and an idea popped into her mind.She rushed up and grabbed Yannie. "You can't go up! Thomas doesn't want to see you!"Yannie always hated it when another person made contact with her physically, yet this woman, a hostile stranger, boldly grabbed her!She furrowed her eyebrows and pushed Wendy away. "Don't touch me!"She recalled not exerting much strength when she pushed her away, and it was enough to put distance between them, but—Thump! Wendy fell down the stairs, much to Yannie's shock."Wendy!" When Thomas left the study, he saw Wendy rolling down the stairs. He furrowed his eyebrows and quickly made his way toward her, propping her upper body up. "What happened?"It hurt Wendy so much that her face turned pale, and her tears started falling down. "I… I wanted to stop this woman from looking for you. She thinks I was in her way and di
Wendy was dumbfounded by the turn of events. She never expected to hear Thomas say such things to her, especially when she was hurt.She bit her lip and looked at Thomas with a wounded expression. "Thomas, how could you… How could you say such things to me? I was protecting you! I was afraid that this rude woman would harass you, and that's why I stopped her, and she pushed me! You…""Is that really what happened?" Thomas looked at Wendy coldly. "You've known me for many years. You should know I have the habit of setting up surveillance cameras in my house, right?"It was a simple question, but she bit her lip nervously at this, and it made Wendy much paler than the wall behind her.Thomas was right; she knew Thomas liked to set up surveillance cameras in the house.However, she remembered Thomas had told her that this mansion was recently bought. He had not brought over all of his favorite pieces. Thus, she thought that when he referred to his favorite pieces, those included the
Wendy turned around inimically after saying that. With help from the assistant, she limped her way out of the mansion, leaving Yannie rooted on the spot.She squeezed her brow tightly together as she watched the assistant and Wendy leave the mansion.Frankly speaking, she should have not waited to mock Wendy, especially when Wendy tried to frame her and got reprimanded by Thomas. As the victim of the case, it was normal for her to demolish Wendy when she so obviously lost.However, for some reason, when she saw how Thomas reprimanded Wendy harshly, she felt pity for her. Obviously, Thomas did not care about Wendy as much as she thought he did, yet she still acted like she was Thomas' partner and wanted to help Thomas get rid of Yannie while she was under the impression that Yannie admired Thomas.Wendy had been friends with Thomas since three or four years ago, and this was the treatment she had received from him. The more Yannie thought of this, the more she pitied Wendy and loath
