Thomas sneered upon hearing Gwen's words. "There was never any misunderstanding between me and them."After all of what Joshua and Luna did to Riley, what misunderstanding could there be? In the first place, Joshua and Luna lost their baby, so they deliberately took the newborn baby from the hospital and pretended that she was theirs. The newborn baby was Riley!Thomas would not have hated them so badly had they taken care of Riley and treated her as their own, but what happened? They failed to protect Riley. Malcolm had to take Riley from them, and Riley was nearly dead because of Quentin!Quentin was captured in the end, and Riley was once more back with Joshua and Luna. However, they did not feel the bond with Riley when they reunited with her.They continuously searched for their biological baby and neglected to accompany and take care of Riley. If it were not for them, Riley would not have ended in such a pitiful, sickly state!Joshua and Luna were to blame for all the misfor
Gwen's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at Thomas, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Thomas' words."You're wrong. We're here because of the live broadcast between you and Yannie, but…" She curled up her lips. "Luna's here not because she wants to stop you and Yannie from taking Riley away. She's here because I want to visit Riley."Her crystal clear eyes looked deeply into the man in front of her and said plainly, "I was too bored alone in the hospital, so I thought of visiting this baby of yours and Yannie's."She then took a good look at Yannie and Thomas. "By the way, Riley does resemble both of you very much."Yannie was slightly uncomfortable with that comment. She tried to contain herself, but she sheepishly blurted, "Ms. Gwen, Mr. Thomas had stated Riley is our child because he wanted to silence the people. I did have a baby, but… Anyway, Riley is Mr. Thomas' baby, not mine."Luna and Gwen exchanged looks.'How could that be? Yannie did have a baby with Thomas
Thomas furrowed his brow upon hearing Yannie's question. For a moment, he fell silent, but it was not long until he raised his head and looked at Yannie's face. "Yes, I didn't come to visit Riley this past month. But—""But you used Riley when you needed her to help dissolve our rumors!" Yannie interrupted Thomas coldly, her anguish evident on her face. "Thomas Howard, I never knew you'd be this kind of person. I thought you just dislike me and are terrible to me. Who knew you could be so heartless with your daughter, too!"She walked past Thomas and strode toward Riley's ward, leaving Thomas rooted on the spot as he watched Yannie walk away. He furrowed his brow vehemently.'Can this woman wait for my explanation? But…'His lips curled into a smile when he saw how anxious Yannie was when she walked to Riley's ward. Since way back, he knew Yannie was fond of Riley and often came to visit the infant. Every time Yannie came to visit, he would place a hidden camera on Yannie before sh
This was why Yannie treasured the necklace tremendously."There's something in here." Thomas took out a pinhole camera from the inside of the necklace without any trouble. "It's a customized high-definition camera."Every time you enter Riley's ward, the camera will capture everything you see with high-definition quality. It's connected to the Wi-Fi in this room too, and with my phone linked to this camera, I can see everything that you see."He took out his phone and opened an application. True enough the screen showed the exact scene that the camera was pointing at.Yannie was shocked as she widened her eyes. "This…""It's true I never came to visit Riley, but every time you came, I'd know. With your help, I saw Riley, too," explained Thomas.Yannie bit her lip upon hearing this, and her eyebrows pressed together. "So it's not that you didn't visit Riley, but you've…been seeing her with my help."She did not understand. "Why? You could've come to visit in person."In addition
Yannie did not understand."According to what you said, your aunt, Joshua's mother, was dead after she delivered Joshua, and she was taken away by your mother after that. How could her death be related to Joshua?"Theoretically speaking, it did not make sense at all. Joshua had been in Banyan City and had never left in the past. Thomas and his family, meanwhile, resided in Saigen City at Europa. If Thomas' mother rescued Joshua's mother and brought her to Saigen City…then Joshua did not have the chance to see her mother. The distance between Saigen City and Banyan City was more than several thousand kilometers!Thomas sneered when he saw the perplexed look on Yannie's face. "Guess you're not as stupid as I think you are."He sighed deeply again and told Yannie the story about Joshua's mother.Rianna and Eanne were twin sisters. When Rianna was 20 years old, she met Adrian, a handsome ladies' man. In fact, he changed his name to Adrian because he was pursuing Rianna. He wanted to t
Once Adrian got the news, he immediately sent someone to capture Rianna and Eanne from the kindergarten. In addition, he humiliated and insulted Rianna right in front of Eanne before sending Rianna off to a mental asylum.Three days later, Adrian released Eanne, who rushed to the mental asylum and discovered Rianna had unfortunately taken her life.Rianne's lifeless hand grasped tightly a letter she had written after she became insane. It was a letter to Joshua, and there were only two sentences in the letter.[I'm your mother. Joshua, I love you.]Eanne held Rianna's dead body in her arms and cried for a long time. Before she left Banyan City, she found out Rianna wanted to see Joshua before she died, but her request was denied.The people who returned the message said Joshua said his mother had passed away a long time ago. He even said his mother was a smart woman, not a deranged person.After that, Eanne never allowed anyone in the Moore family to mention Joshua and the Lynch
Thomas furrowed his brow and said nothing to Yannie's words.Yannie, assuming that Thomas was considering her logic with his silence, slowly persuaded him, "Thomas, I know you don't like Joshua that much, but you can't just determine that he's terrible because his father was a scumbag and how naive he was when he was five years old."No matter how Yannie was reluctant to believe Thomas, she could tell whether Joshua was a scumbag or not. All this time, she knew how Joshua's attitude was when treating her mother, Luna, his three children, and Riley.Moreover… Thomas had been in Merchant City for more than a month. Ever since the first day he arrived, he went after Joshua and Luna, even using being the ambassador of Luna's jewelry company to threaten Luna.Despite Thomas' challenges and provocation, Joshua did nothing but had Yannie gather Thomas' DNA specimens in exchange for payment. Joshua tolerated, understood, and took care of Thomas.Yannie did not believe a man like Joshua wa
Thomas furrowed his brow and leaned back on the car seat. He closed his eyes and ordered, "Get out of the car!"Yannie bit her lower lip and looked at him for one last time. Then, with eyes glossed with tears, she hissed, "Fine!"She opened the door, got down from the car, and left without looking back."Sir, I…" The driver furrowed his brow when he saw Yannie walking off angrily. "Do we need to go after her?"This irked Thomas. "Why should I do that? If she wants to leave, then let her!"After that, he exhaled deeply. "Drive to the bar."The driver stayed silent for a while before replying, "Sir, you can't drink anymore with your current condition. Why don't we…go after Ms. Yannie and explain it to her?"Thomas smiled bitterly. "Explain what?"He told her the hatred he had for Joshua because he wanted her to understand him and hoped that she would take his side. The result was not what he wanted.The people Yannie cared about were still Joshua and Luna. To her, everything he
