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
Instantly, Yannie blanched at Thomas' words as she stared at Thomas in anguish. "We're not in that kind of relationship! You should know better!"Thomas scoffed. He looked at Yannie with his deep, dark eyes. "Why do you think I know it better? Do I know what the both of you were doing when you spent several hours in the mansion with Joshua?"Yannie bit her lip and stared at Thomas, infuriated. "Rubbish! He invited me to his house because he wanted to ask me to…" Despite seething at the moment, Yannie quickly realized her error and backtracked, saying, "To cause trouble for you!"Thomas sneered. "Cause trouble for me? You?"He walked up to Yannie and trapped her between the wall and his body. "Tell me: how does Joshua intend to let you cause trouble for me? Hmm?"Thomas' face was barely a meter away from Yannie's face, and at such dangerously close proximity, she could feel his body temperature and breath. She bit her lip and wanted to push him away angrily, but he just would not b
Everything Yannie did that was related to Thomas over this year was…not solely because of the baby.All of a sudden…"Sir!" rang the voice of Thomas' assistant as he walked up the stairs.The sight that greeted him stunned him to the core, and whatever he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.The assistant's voice instantly pulled Yannie away from the moment, and she quickly pushed away Thomas, who was kissing her collarbone, with all of her strength. Then, she pulled her collar to cover her collarbone and ran downstairs while blushing.Thomas, who had enjoyed his treat, looked to the side. He wiped his lips and smiled with his eyes as he watched how Yannie basically scampered away.His assistant was scared when he saw how Thomas looked. "S–Sir, did I come at the wrong time?""It's alright." Thomas regained his senses and looked at his assistant with a faint smile. "What's the matter?"The assistant lowered his head and said, "I've sent Ms. Fann to the hospital, and there are
After Yannie left Thomas' mansion, she called Luna excitedly."Ms. Luna, you don't have to worry anymore. I've requested the person who spread the video and photo to delete everything. The information on the internet will disappear very soon!"You have to believe in Mr. Lynch. Please don't fight with him. I promise that nothing suspicious is happening between us."On the other side of the phone, Luna grasped the phone and looked at Joshua, who was in front of her. She furrowed her eyebrows. "Yannie, what did you do?"Nigel had found out that Thomas was the person who spread the news. If Yannie said she had settled with the origin of the news, did she mean that she had settled things with Thomas?However…Luna knew from the start that Yannie and Thomas did not like each other.How did this naive woman manage to make Thomas pull back the news? Thomas was a cunning man, and it was not easy dealing with him."You don't have to worry about this." Yannie smiled happily on the other end
All Luna knew was that Yannie must have paid a big price to persuade Thomas in revoking the news and discussion online.If Joshua continued with his plan to stir up the internet and let the rumor brew, it would tarnish Yannie's reputation. In addition, Yannie would think Thomas was the one behind it and thought her sacrifice was useless. She would be hurt!"In that case, tell Yannie that I'm the one behind it." Joshua shifted into a more comfortable position and added, as though able to read Luna's mind. "I believe she'll understand it."Luna sighed. "I don't think telling Yannie that will solve the problem. She tried her best to prove you're innocent, but you continue to make it worse online. What do you think she'll feel?"Regardless of what it was, Luna did not think it was appropriate. However, Joshua disagreed with her. "I know you're worried about Yannie, Luna, but…" He looked up and gazed at Luna with his deep, dark eyes. "This is the best thing to do for the moment. Don't y
Back in Luke's house, Luke and Kate were discussing Luke's impending surgery."I still think it's best to move the surgery forward." Kate looked at Luke's face helplessly and reluctantly added, "Luke, you saw it yourself how Gwen's body deteriorated a lot because of Bonnie. Now, she's still in the dark about Joshua and that woman. Once she finds out, she'll be devastated because she and Luna are best friends, and that'll worsen her condition."Moreover, you've been hiding her condition from her, and not only does she not understand what's been happening all this while, but she's not in, and won't be able to, control her emotions."Kate looked up with eyes glossed with tears. "I can't bear to see you leave, and I don't want to see you leave so soon, but…"She dabbed away her tears. "I hope the best for Gwen, too. You've worked so hard and are willing to sacrifice everything just so she can live. I'm afraid all of these will cause her body to deteriorate even more. What if… What if h
