Meanwhile, in Dark Sky Bar… Thomas was sitting on the bar and downed one glass after another. His
arrival was so abruptthat 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 allthe time.
Although his aunt was demented, she had been nothing but kind to him.
She gave him candy every day, played with him, and even taught him things.
She always told him that she had a son too, and her son was one year older than him.
She had never seen his son before, but she trusted her son to look just as cute as Thomas was.
To others, his aunt was a lunatic.
To Thomas, his aunt was the best playmate and friend he had.
She was never fierce with him nor had she ever harmed him.
On his fourth birthday, he had prepared the cake and everything else.
He waited for his aunt to come back to celebrate his birthday with him.
However, what came back was the bad news of his aunt passing away.
It must have been the bond only twins had, but after his aunt passed away, hismother’s physical state
deteriorated every day.
When his mother found out about his father’s affair, she died in anger.
After a week of his mother’s burial, his father brought home his mistress and his mistress’ child.
From then onward, he became a child that no one cared about.
If his grFo&125;!-»-elgfather did not leave a will stating the inheritance would only take effect after Thomas
was 18 years old, his father and mistress could have thrown him outof the house.
All these years, he was raised by servants while living away from his own house.
He did not have any family or friends.
He was always alone.
That was until Malcolm contacted him and told him he had a daughter, as well as Yanniein Merchant
City, the girl who radiated life regardless of how rough her life was.
He thought his life would change because of Riley and Yannie.
As it turned out…
Yannie could not stop defending Joshua for his aunt’s death.
To her, he was never better than Luna and Joshua, who had been kind and gracious to her.
Thomas could not stop drinking.
Even as his vision became blurry, he smiled bitterly.
In the end, he was still alone without anyone who understood him, cared for him, or worried about him.
He was still the same; all alone by himself and did not deserve anyone to care for him.
“What’s going on down there?” Joshua asked.
He was in a business meeting in a private room on the second floor when he heard thecommotion
happening downstairs.
Lucas went out to take a look before he returned, reporting, “Sir, people are all everywhere on the first
floor.
