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 that she
had been brainwashed. I must insist, however, that she‘s not a villain.”
He sighed. There was not much that he could justify for Denise, even though he was her brother.
After a while, he cocked up his head and looked at Gwen with a serious face. “But, if you decide to not
forgive her,
Joshua wouldn‘t have asked me to come here. Thus, I want to know what I can do to let you release
Denise.
“Also…what should my family do to reimburse and compensate Ms. Yannie and Mr. Howard?”
Finally, they were back to the discussion and negotiation.
Luna furrowed her brow and looked at the text message Joshua sent.
She said, “It‘s easy. First of all, Denise needs to pay the price for what she did today, and that‘s…to
receive our blows. Then, she has to leave Saigen City forever, never to return.”
She looked at Steven. “It‘s our decision to let Denise leave Saigen City, not Thomas‘. After all, if
Thomas wants to look into this matter, it won‘t vent his anger even if he kills her.
“As his relative and friend, we don‘t wish to see him kill someone. Thus, getting Denise to leave Saigen
City is the best solution. However, after she leaves Saigen City, your family mustn‘t help her in any way,
including giving her money. She has to survive on her own.”
Steven pursed his lips silently. He believed neither he nor Denise nor his parents could accept this.
Denise had always lived together with them, after all. Although she was not their biological daughter,
she was their little princess. If she was forced to leave the city and never to return, and if they were
disallowed from being able to help her financially and in other ways…it was really a little too much.
Nevertheless, once Steven thought about what Denise did to Thomas, this was the best ending for her.
He gritted his teeth. “Alright, I promise you. I‘ll work on my parents.”
Neither Joshua nor Thomas could take the time out to constantly monitor Denise or his family. At least
Denise suffered for the first two months. Once Joshua and Thomas loosened a little, they would not
find out her status, even if his family sent help to Denise.
“Secondly,” Luna continued speaking her terms after Steven agreed with the first one, “your family has
to cooperate with Gwen to sue the Miller and the Hughes families.”
“Sue?” Steven was stunned. He looked at Gwen with disbelief. “Why do you want to sue us?”
Gwen sneered, “Since you now know your body belongs to Luke, you should know your brain had been
transplanted, too. Why are you acting so shocked? Don‘t you know Luke never agreed to let Kate turn
him into you?
“Your family and the Miller family didn‘t obtain permission from me nor Luke and made the decision to
turn Luke‘s body into another person. Why can‘t I sue all of you for that?”
