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
Luna, who was cooking, paused. "Joshua's out working."When Luna returned, she had called him and asked if he was coming home for dinner. It was rare for her to cook dinner, so she had hoped he could come home to eat dinner with her and the children.Alas, Joshua said he had already made an appointment to meet a business partner in Dark Night Bar tonight. Thus, Luna could feel sorry for him for missing out on her delicious food this time. She was not a person who would disrupt Joshua's work arrangement because she wanted him home to have dinner together.Despite that, she did not expect to see Yannie here, looking for him. She thought for a while and walked to the door while taking off her apron. "Why don't I call him and ask him to come back now?"Yannie shook her head immediately. "No, it's fine. It's the same as telling you, too."Luna and Joshua were a married couple, and they loved each other very much. Yannie trusted Luna to relay every single word she said to Joshua. She di
Yannie remembered how angry she was when Thomas said Riley was her daughter. She even reprimanded Thomas and asked him how many women he had before.In addition…Yannie looked down at the white shirt with puffy sleeves and mint green long skirt. When Thomas passed her this outfit, he said it was prepared for Riley's mother.Therefore…this outfit was hers to begin with, was it not?Yannie bit her lip and accepted the DNA paternity test report from Luna. The report stated that Riley was really her daughter.She and Thomas were Riley's parents! Her daughter was not dead! She was still alive in the hospital!She felt her blood rushing throughout her body at these thoughts as she turned to look at Luna excitedly. "Luna, am I… Am I dreaming? I'm not dreaming, am I?"Riley, her Riley! From the first time she saw Riley, she thought Riley was endearing and adorable. She truly liked Riley a lot to the extent that she promised Luna she would be Riley's godmother.Over the past month, she
Meanwhile, in Dark Sky Bar…Thomas was sitting on the bar and downed one glass after another. His arrival was so abrupt that the owner did not have the time to clear everyone out of the bar.Soon, people started to recognize him. Word spread around, and many started to come to take a look at the superstar drinking in the bar. For a while, the hall on the first floor was flooded with people.Some were admiring his charm, some were taking his photos, while others plucked their courage and talked to him, surrounding him.Nonetheless, Thomas could not be bothered to care about them. He leaned on the bar and continued to drink. All he could see was how Yannie got out of the car cold-bloodedly and how she fought for Joshua.Suddenly, he felt so lonely, so pitiful, and helpless, like no one in the world understood him.When he was young, his aunt was the apple of his eye. Just when he started to learn around the age of four, his aunt was there with him all the time.Although his aunt w
