Silence blanketed the atmosphere.Yannie bit her lip and stared at Thomas, her face pale as she asked tentatively, "What do you mean? Are you talking about…what she did to you with Tina yesterday?"Well, if you are…I think you should indeed get your revenge on her too."Yannie still had no idea how she would go about dealing with this.She had lost sleep the night before, trying to figure out if she should tell Thomas the truth. Therefore, she did not know that Thomas had already put two and two together, nor did she know that Luna had already told him the truth.At this thought, she paused for a moment and said, "Actually…""You don't have to continue hiding anything from me; I know everything." Thomas sighed and gently clasped her hand. "After we were separated yesterday, I called Luna, and she told me the truth."He sighed and continued, "I know…I know that Denise and I did unspeakable things during the period of time my memory blanked out. Is that right?"Yannie bit her lip
Yannie's entire body stiffened upon hearing this. She lifted her head to stare at him, intending to say something, but no words came out.If this happened to her in the past, she would have begged Thomas to show Denise some mercy, but at this moment, she felt that Denise deserved to be punished.She recalled what happened at Howard Mansion the day before.At that time, after Tina and Senior Howard left for the hospital, Yannie begged Denise for mercy as her men dragged Thomas into the room. She even got on both knees to beg her. "Please don't do this. When Thomas finds out about this, he won't stop at anything to get revenge."However, Denise merely stared at her triumphantly and said, "Is that so? Do you think you know Thomas better than I do? You're right; if he finds out I slept with him without his permission, he'll be irate. Though…"She squatted so she would be at eye level with Yannie and lifted her chin, forcing Yannie to stare right into her cold gaze. "It'll be an entire
Even though Thomas had at one point hated his father's guts, he was still his father at the end of the day.Besides, even though Senior Howard had committed many mistakes in the past, he still displayed remorse and tried to make up for his mistakes after finding out that Tina and Dan had deceived him for so many years.The truth was, this was more than enough.Thomas believed that if Senior Howard had pulled through, he would continue finding ways to patch things up between them.Sadly, fate had different plans. Senior Howard had passed away before he could do so and before he could even meet his own granddaughter.At the thought of this, Thomas sighed and took Yannie's hand in his. "Let's go. We'll stop by to see Riley, then give my father a proper goodbye. After everything is settled, let's pay Joshua a visit to discuss what should happen from here on out."Yannie nodded and curled her fingers around his.According to Tina, Thomas was doing all this just to get his hands on th
"That's because I promised Senior Howard I'd do anything to protect his lawyer." Joshua sighed and turned to glance at the streets below him with a look of helplessness. "I wasn't the one who had filmed Senior Howard's will—it was Mr. Zink."After I received the recording, Senior Howard had called me himself to ask me to protect Mr. Zink. This was why I sent Steven and Gwen to rescue him before I posted the video online."Luna was surprised by this.Joshua was right. If he had released the video prior to ensuring Mr. Zink's safety, Tina and Dan would find a way to exterminate Mr. Zink before they got arrested. Therefore, Joshua had taken great care to ensure Mr. Zink was safe before going after Tina and Dan.At this thought, Luna sighed and said, "You're such a detail-oriented person; nothing ever seems to faze you or disturb your plans."No matter what happened, Joshua never failed to remain calm somehow and be the most reliable person among them in the face of adversity."Do yo
"Riley is missing?" Luna was astounded by this. "Yannie, calm down and tell me what happened.""Well, this is all I know—" Yannie was gasping for breath as she explained, "Tina and Dan have been arrested because of Mr. Lynch's help. After Thomas and I came out from the police station, he wanted to visit her, so I came with him to the hospital…"She sniffed and continued, "But when we arrived here, we discovered that all the guards that had been assigned to look after Riley disappeared."We couldn't help thinking something was wrong, and when we got out of the elevator, we ran into Riley's doctor. When we tried to ask him what was going on, however, he immediately ran away as though he had seen a ghost."Thomas and I immediately knew something bad had happened, so we ran all the way to Riley's room. When we got there, we realized that Riley was missing, and there was another baby girl in there."Yannie sobbed as she said, "Luna, we're in the security room right now, but the person
Sean?Luna's brow furrowed in confusion. "What's he doing here in Saigen City?"Luna and Joshua had flown all the way to Saigen City for other people; Luna had come to join Gwen on her trip whereas Joshua was here to help Thomas settle his business.However, Sean did not possess any friends or family in Saigen City, so what was he doing here?"He's here to experience the world-renowned Saigen City winter, of course." Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, gently clutched Luna's wrist, and pulled her into his arms. "Let's all meet for dinner tonight. We should invite Thomas and Yannie too."Luna stared at him in puzzlement, her brow still scrunched. "What on earth are you talking about?"Why was he suggesting inviting Thomas and Yannie to dinner with Sean?The three of them did not know each other well, and even if they were friends…Thomas and Yannie would probably be worried sick about Riley, so how could they want to attend a gathering with Sean?At the thought of this, Luna sig
Yannie bit her lip when she laid eyes on the screen before her.This was a surveillance tape from a few days before, just before Riley had gone missing.Since someone had wiped all the security cameras on the day of Riley's disappearance, Thomas had no choice but to attempt to find clues from previous surveillance footage.To his surprise, he managed to find something.Yannie clenched her fists as she stared at the image of Tina and Denise on the screen, smiling and chatting.She, like Thomas, had thought Tina and Denise would not dare lay a finger on Riley since their primary target was Thomas, but to their surprise…These people did not know where to draw the line at all!Riley was not even six months old, so how could they do this to a small, innocent child?"I'm going to Hughes Residence right now." Thomas caught sight of Yannie's rage and immediately pulled her into his arms, frowning. "We'll confront Denise in person about this."The familiar warmth of his embrace surged
When Thomas and Yannie arrived at Hughes Residence, the whole place seemed to be in chaos.Mr. and Mrs. Hughes could not seem to get in touch with Steven at all, nor could they find Denise anywhere. The two of them were absolutely sick with worry.At this moment, Kate was sitting elegantly on the sofa, consoling Mrs. Hughes as best as she could while ordering her men to go in search of the missing siblings. "Mrs. Hughes, please don't overthink this. Steven and Denise are grown-ups now, so I'm sure they're fine."Perhaps they've found a private place to catch up as brother and sister.""Catch up?" Mrs. Hughes furrowed her brow. "What do they have to catch up on when they see each other every day? Besides—"She took out her phone and showed Kate the video that was taken at the entrance of Howard Group. "Look at this! Steven was at Howard Group this morning, and he even stood up for that bitch, Gwen!"Since Denise didn't leave the house with him, they're probably not together at thi
