When Tina and Dan arrived at the police station, they bumped into Yannie and Thomas, who were on
their way out.
The four of them crossed paths.
Yannie pursed her lips when she saw them and instinctively grasped Thomas‘ hand.
Just a few minutes ago, she had promised the cops that she would keep a stern eye on Thomas so he
would not do anything rash after bailing him out. At this moment, when she caught sight of Tina and
Dan, she instinctively tightened her grip on Thomas‘ to prevent him from acting rashly.
Thomas could sense her worry. He furrowed his brow slightly and curled his lips into a smile as he
stared at Tina and Dan. “I’m assuming neither of you thought you’d end up here so soon, huh?”
Even though he had not known of Senior Howard’s will and death before he was captured, the cops
had enlightened him on the events that happened prior to his release.
Tina paused, clearly slightly surprised by Thomas‘ comment, then sneered. “You’re right; I hadn’t
expected this at all. Who would’ve thought a dumbass like you could’ve found someone as smart as
Joshua to help you out?”
She shot Thomas a disdainful look and added, “Don’t you dare think that you’ve won–I lost to Joshua,
but that doesn’t mean I lost to you.
“If you hadn’t sought out Joshua’s help, this would never have happened. Your father was right; you’re
a useless fuck. If it weren’t for Joshua, you’d still be in jail! You have nothing to be victorious about!”
The light in Thomas‘ eyes dimmed.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at Tina with a look so cold it was as though he wanted to murder her
right on the spot.
When she saw this, Yannie quickly placed herself between them and stared at Tina, frowning. ” I know
you’re just trying to provoke him so that he’d lose his cool and attack you. You’re just doing this to drag
him down with you, but I won’t let you do that.”
Thomas furrowed his brow upon hearing this. A glimmer of surprise and joy flashed through his eyes.
His precious Yannie…had grown up.
She was trying to protect him.
Tina furrowed her brow upon hearing this.
She was so close to winning, so close!
If Yannie had not stopped him, Thomas would have held her in a headlock, and if that had happened,
he would wind up back in jail alongside her and Dan!
She would do anything to drag Thomas down with her!
At this thought, Tina closed her eyes in despair.
A split second later, she opened her eyes and stared at Thomas coldly. “You’re a lucky man.”
Not only was her plan foiled by Joshua, but Yannie had even seen right through her.
Why was Thomas so lucky to have found people like them to help him?
“There’s one thing I still don’t understand.” She let out an exhale and glanced at Thomas. ” Why is
Joshua helping you so much?”
Joshua and Thomas should never have known each other in the first place. Was it because Joshua
had taken care of Thomas‘ daughter, Riley, at one point?
However, according to her spies, Joshua and Thomas were enemies in Merchant City, and at one
point, Thomas had even transpired to destroy Joshua over Riley, so why did Joshua suddenly have a
change of heart? Why did he suddenly decide to hand the child back to Thomas and even fly all the
way to Saigen City to help him?
Thomas curled his lips into a smile. “What do you think?”
