Even Steven was surprised by how agile and strong he suddenly became. He did not feel like himself anymore.He had never been an advocate of violence before, but for some reason, he could not help feeling pleasure while in combat.He was surprisingly enjoying this feeling.The thought of being able to protect Gwen, and the thought of these people bullying Gwen…Every punch of his landed at the right spot, and he easily tackled every person that came his way.After he had tackled the burly men in front, neither of the protestors dared to approach him, not even a single step.Even the leader of the group seemed surprised by this.Who would have thought this gentle, scholarly-looking man would turn out to be such a good fighter?"Steven." Gwen lunged forward to grab hold of his arm. "Are you okay?""I'm okay." Steven turned around and gently pinched Gwen's nose.The blood in her body ran cold, and her muscles immediately grew taut.This was what Luke used to do to her every tim

Steven's entire body stiffened upon hearing this.He knew that Joshua was talking about Luke.A split second later, he curled his lips into a bitter smile. "You're confused, Mr. Lynch. I'm Steven, not Luke.""I know." Joshua narrowed his eyes, fixating his stare on Steven's face. "But I still know that you'll help me."Steven was silent for a moment, then finally sniffed and chuckled. "You're right; I'm willing to help you, but it has nothing to do with Luke at all. I'm just…"He glanced first at Gwen and Luke, then at Joshua. "I just like helping people in need."Then, he shot Joshua a glance and asked, "What do you need me to do?"Joshua had seen this coming. He curled his lips into a smile. "Follow me."With that, he turned and led Steven into the elevator.Gwen instinctively followed.However, Luna caught her just in time, and as soon as the elevator doors closed, she pulled Gwen aside and whispered, "Remember, he isn't Luke."She was worried that Gwen would be swept awa

Dan's outburst did not faze Joshua at all. Instead, he smiled naturally. "Well, well. I don't know if Mr. Dan Howard is the right person to make such a comment. Compared to you, I'm not as shameful as you are."The reply had pushed Dan to his limits. "What are you saying?!""You conspired with your mother to kill your own father. How could you not understand what I'm saying?" Joshua's tone became colder as he held his phone to his ear, his voice so remote and indifferent that the temperature felt like the cold wintertime. "Do you truly think no one knows what you and your mother did? Sooner or later, the truth about you and your mother killing Senior Howard and how you wronged Thomas will be out. By then, everyone in this city will know the most shameless and vicious people you both are!"There was no reply from Dan, and the conversation became dead quiet.After a while, he screamed out hysterically, "That's a false allegation, Joshua Lynch! My mother and I did nothing to the old g

Looking at the handsome man with dark skin and a rather 'unruly' personality, Denise frowned. "So you're Nigel's uncle?"Nigel's uncle had to be either related to Joshua or Luna…but this man's temperament was far different from them both!"Yes." Sean curled up his lips and smiled. He pointed at the seat in front of him and hinted to Denise to sit.Once Denise sat down, he waved his hand at a waiter to order a beverage for Denise. After the beverage was served, he looked up and took a good look at Denise before talking, "Nigel asked me to come to go look for Riley with you. Where is she now?"Denise picked up the hot beverage and felt the warmth radiating from the glass. "She's in my brother's mansion in the countryside now. I think my brother has gone to help Joshua and is not in the mansion now, but…"She looked at Sean. "There are people guarding the mansion. Do you…"After taking a good look at Sean's thin figure, she frowned. "Don't you have any helper? If you are alone… I do

Not long after, their car arrived at Steven's mansion in the countryside.Everything was as Denise said: Steven was not in the mansion, but the guards in the mansion were not to be underestimated. There were many muscular men standing guard everywhere.Upon parking the car at a corner, Denise pointed at the mansion not far away from them and asked, "Are you sure you can go in and bring the kid out?"Before they arrived, she had already felt Sean could not accomplish the mission. Once they arrived, she was certain of her judgment. The mansion was guarded heavily, and it would be a miracle a thin, fragile man like Sean could succeed.Sean squinted and looked at the mansion. He said with a smile, "Let's make a bet. If I can bring Riley out, you'll have to treat me to beer tonight."Denise snorted. "If you can accomplish the mission, it doesn't matter if I treat you to beer for the whole month.""Forget about it." Sean rubbed his knuckles. "I need to take care of Riley starting tomor
