Yannie paused for a moment before taking out her phone and dialing Thomas' number."Can you do me a favor? I need your help forging a metal plate," she said in a low voice.Luna furrowed her brow when she heard this.It turned out she had misunderstood Yannie. Yannie…had wanted Thomas to help her forge a new metal plate.Luna had to admit that this was a good idea.All of a sudden, Luna's phone rang. It was a call from Joshua.At this moment, Joshua and Thomas were together, and when he caught sight of the photo of the metal plate which Yannie had sent to Thomas' phone, he immediately put two and two together.This was why he had called Luna immediately."Something happened to Gwen." Luna exhaled and continued in a low voice that was barely a whisper, "Gwen accidentally lost her pendant, and even though we managed to find it in the end, the metal plate attached to it had gone missing."You know that Luke was the one who gave it to her, so…"Anyway, she's suspecting that the m

With that, Yannie turned and sprinted in Lucas' direction.Since Yannie's mother, Mrs. Flores, used to work as a nanny for Luna and Joshua, Yannie was naturally familiar with Lucas.Thomas remained motionless, his lips curving into a small smile as he watched Yannie sprint nimbly towards Lucas.That was his girl; kind, soft, and adorable.However, the next second—Thomas watched as Yannie arrived at Lucas' side and, while talking to him, reached out to wipe the sweat from Lucas' forehead.His smile immediately froze on his face.Yannie never treated him that kindly before!Why was she helping Lucas wipe his sweat? Could he not do it on his own? Did he not have hands that were capable of accomplishing this task?Lucas instinctively glanced in Thomas' direction when he felt a cold, steely gaze on him. His heart leaped into his throat when he met Thomas' gaze.Lucas immediately took a small step back and glanced sheepishly at Yannie. "Sir ordered me to pretend as though I had fo

"Does Joshua think that Kate lied to us?"After all, Kate had claimed that the metal plate was already missing when she found Gwen's pendant."That's right." Thomas nodded. "Kate…is an exceptional crook."…The Miller family mansion.Kate's father, Mr. Miller, stared at Joshua with a look of displeasure. "Mr. Lynch, I've already told you many times that Kate isn't home at the moment, so why is it that you're so insistent on meeting her?"Joshua took a sip from his cup elegantly, lowered his head to glance at the Miller family's stocks, and chuckled. "Mr. Miller, have you not heard a single word that I just said?"I've already told you that for every ten minutes that Kate doesn't show up, I'll make Miller Group's stock price go one point lower. Now, it's already dropped by three points."As he said this, Joshua gracefully put down his cup and added, "Let me calculate just how much longer it'll take before Miller Group goes bankrupt."Well, according to my calculations, exactly

It was their superstitious beliefs that led them to abandon Luke as a baby!"Five years ago, Steven Hughes got involved in an accident and wound up in a coma, and because of this, the Hughes family requested our help tracking down their lost child," Mr. Miller continued. "Of course, Mr. Lynch, you know that Miller Group has substantial resources in the medical field, but not only that, both our families had a marriage agreement since a long time ago as well."Therefore, the Hughes family agreed that if we helped Steven wake up from his coma, they'd let their son marry our precious Kate."Joshua narrowed his eyes and tapped his slender fingers lightly against the coffee table. "So this was how you found Luke?"Mr. Miller nodded. "That's right. About a year ago, Luke came to seek our help, and just the first glance at him shocked us all to our cores. He and Steven were like carbon copies of each other!"We've been searching for him for five years, and we never thought that he'd appe

The Hughes and Miller families could have allowed Luke to return to his family after donating Steven's organs to Gwen.As Luke's friend, Joshua knew that apart from being a skilled fighter, Luke was also a smart man that could easily pick up running a business.Even if the Miller and Hughes families did not want to choose this option, they could have helped Luke find alternative solutions to cure Gwen so that they would not need to sacrifice Steven at all!However, they chose not to.They had planned to take Luke's life and render him a container for Steven's mind since the start.This was why they had sent Kate to Merchant City to keep an eye on Luke. This was why Kate's feelings toward Luke had always appeared fleeting and ambiguous.Sometimes, she would appear to be head over heels for Luke, but other times, Joshua could not help thinking that she was cold and indifferent toward him.This was because Kate had never loved Luke at all; the only thing she loved about him was his
