As the rest remained in the living room, Rachel watched as Yannie left before she turned and looked at Joshua helplessly. Joshua understood and whispered something in Theo's ear. After that, Theo quickly got someone to carry Thomas out.When he was at the door, he turned and looked at Rachel. "Aren't you going to go with us? If anything happens on the way to the hospital, none of us know how to handle it."Rachel thought for a while and went out of the door with Theo. As she walked outside, she saw Yannie standing at the side, crying."Crying doesn't solve anything." Rachel patted Yannie's shoulder. "We're going to send him to the hospital now. Do you want to come along?"Yannie took a look at Thomas, who was carried by Theo and bodyguards as they tried to put him in the car. A slight discomfort appeared in her heart. "I…don't feel like going."She did not know how to face Thomas who had slept with another woman."But…" Rachel sighed. "He didn't know what happened after he passed
After Rachel and the others left Howard Mansion, the living room was awfully quiet.Luna sighed and looked at Gwen, who happened to meet her gaze. The two best friends simultaneously looked helpless.Based on Yannie's reaction, a rift had formed between her and Thomas, and they were powerless to mend it. Thinking from Yannie's perspective, they probably would not be able to accept it, too.Gwen stood up angrily as she stalked toward Denise and, upon reaching her, kicked her harshly. "Don't you know whether or not Thomas likes you? Do you have to be so disgusting? Are you happy for being a slut and wrecking their relationship?"She did not go easy on the kick, and it caused Denise to fall to the floor. However, she looked up at Gwen and smiled haughtily. "Of course. I'm very happy! If I can't get him, then no one can!"After that, she gave Gwen a cold look. "If you know so much, know that being a slut to wreck a relationship is to insult yourself… What about you? Aren't you a whore
Denise looked at Joshua as her eyes widened. "No! That can't be!"She bit her lip and shook her head vehemently. She did not dare to look at the information on the floor. "That's not true! How am I not my parent's biological daughter? They've treated me so nicely ever since I was young. They'd never do the things you said and would never use me!"As she talked, she glared at Joshua evilly. "I won't believe a thing you said; not a word! You're all Gwen's friends. Every word that you said is helping Gwen, the whore who wrecked other people's relationships! You people will never fool me!"Gwen sneered at what Denise said. She could not be bothered to argue with Denise about who the other woman was in this case. She reckoned Denise was a stubborn woman that would never listen to anyone else.'If she is a smart person, she'd never do such a thing to Thomas and Yannie in the mansion after Thomas's father got shot and was sent to the hospital!'She squinted, and unlike the gentle and ind
From the looks of it, Joshua was asking both Luna and Gwen when, in fact, the question was for Gwen alone. Luna never had any trouble when confronting Steven; Gwen was the uncertain one.Everyone had seen what sort of crazy stuff Gwen had done because of Luke. Joshua was a little worried to let Gwen face Steve again."I'll try my best." Of course, Gwen knew why Joshua was worried. She curled up her lips and smiled. "I've regained my bearings."Although she could not guarantee her emotions would be in check when she saw Steven, after Luna and Rachel spent the entire morning counseling her, her mind was clearer."That's good." Joshua nodded and looked at his wife again. "Take care of Gwen. And…"He paused. "Remember to contact me if something comes up. If you can't get me, you can contact Nigel or Neil too."Luna did not answer immediately. She kept silent for a while before nodding. "Alright."After Joshua finished making arrangements, he left several strong bodyguards to protect
After Luna's phone call with Joshua ended, she returned to the room. Gwen was sitting on the sofa, eating fruits as she watched the television.Far away, on the balcony, Denise's hands and legs were tied to the railguard of the balcony. The bodyguards were afraid Denise would use extreme measures to hurt Luna and Gwen, so they took away everything Denise could reach within the perimeter. Although the size of the suite was large, the place where Denise was was the emptiest in the entire suite.Luna looked at Denise indifferently and went to look for the head of the bodyguards. She whispered something into his ear. He understood and immediately got his man to untie Denise and bring her away."What are you going to do with me?" Due to her swollen face, Denise could only mumble gibberish. "I'm already at my worst. What else do you people want with me?""Nothing," Luna sneered as she glanced at Denise. "I just want to let you rest in my bedroom for a while. You're hurt now anyway, so yo
After a short while, Steven arrived on his own, as he had promised Joshua.He was under the assumption that he would have to deal with Joshua and Thomas. To his surprise, Gwen was the one who opened the door after he knocked. There was no sighting of Joshua and Thomas in the room either. He only saw Luna and Gwen.The moment he saw Gwen, he furrowed his brow slightly and felt rather caught off-guard. Before entering the room, he managed his emotions. "Is it just the two of you?""Why? Do you think we can't deal with you?" Luna folded her arms as she sat on the sofa indifferently. She picked up her glass and took a sip. "Mr. Hughes, do you know why Joshua had you come over here?"Steven paused and nodded. "I'm here to bring Denise back."As he finished talking, he glanced around the room. "Where is she?""At a very safe place. You don't have to worry." Luna placed down the glass. "Do you know what your sister did today?"This disconcerted Steven. When he received a call from Josh
Steven had a troubled look on his face after hearing what Gwen said."Don't say that." He paused for a moment before he added, his voice hoarse, "My sister…she's not a bad person. It's all because of the influence Mrs. Howard had over her that she turned into this person."He sighed. "It's all my fault. Before I was unconscious, my parents once mentioned they hoped Denise could marry Thomas. They even took the initiative to ask Denise to become Mrs. Howard's goddaughter. I stopped them at that time because I thought Denise deserved to live her life. She shouldn't listen to our parents' arrangement and be with a man she hardly knows."After my accident, well…"After I woke up, that woman had already become Denise's godmother, and she insisted on her marrying Thomas."He turned his head to the side to look out the window. The view outside was white in color as it was covered with snow. "Truthfully speaking, I don't want Denise to bear all this burden."My parents kept saying Denise
While Gwen's words were harsh to the ears, Steven knew she was just honest.Denise and Tina had teamed up to trick Thomas, a person who was slow to forgive. Even any regular man would be infuriated to the point where he wanted so much to kill the woman who tricked him.Moreover, the person Denise and Tina tricked was Thomas, a man who fussed over a little thing and sought revenge for the smallest grievance.Many years ago, Thomas' father—the same man who caused his mother's death—betrayed his mother. This time, he brought Joshua back to seek revenge.At that time, he was too small and weak. He did not have the power to fight with Senior Howard and Tina. That was what made the revenge come so late.However, Thomas did not need to wait at all if he decided to have his revenge on Denise or even the Hughes family. The moment he recalled everything, he could start the revenge anytime he wanted.As Steven thought of those, he paused and said, "I know Denise made a mistake; I just think
