At the dump station in the outskirts of Saigen City.Once the driver stopped the car, Gwen dashed out of the car and headed straight into the dump station, swiftly followed by Yannie and Luna, who paid the driver the taxi fare before disembarking.When Luna got out of the taxi, she was stunned to see the mountains of rubbish in front of her. For a moment, she did not know what to say.'Oh my god! How are we going to look for that tiny metal plate in these heaps of rubbish? It's as hard as looking for a needle in the ocean!'Nonetheless, Gwen could not care about anything and rushed toward these heaps like a madwoman. She did not care that she had just enjoyed her time at the hot spring or the smell or how dirty the rubbish was. She just rushed into the rubbish with her white-colored clothes.The temperature in Saigen City was very low. Soon, her hands got frostbitten, but she still continued on searching for the metal plate Luke gave her with her bare hands.Luna felt heartbroken
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
Joshua's hand stiffened at the mention of Steven. He was silent for a moment before finally asking, "Gwen… Have you all met Kate's boyfriend yet?""No, not yet. Why?""Nothing." Joshua rubbed his glabella in frustration. "I couldn't help noticing that Kate's new boyfriend looks a lot like Luke, so I don't think you should let Gwen see him."Luna nodded. "You're right. Don't worry; I'll try my best to protect Gwen."Even though she had yet to meet Kate's new boyfriend in real life, she had seen photos of him and Kate together on the internet. Therefore, even before Joshua brought it up, she already knew that this man looked eerily similar to Luke.At this point, Gwen would go insane at any mention of Luke at all, so if Kate's boyfriend were indeed so similar to Luke, she would have to stop Gwen from seeing him in person at any cost."We'll talk about this more when we meet," Joshua said before frowning and hanging up."What's wrong?" Thomas asked, seeing how troubled Joshua looke
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
"What's wrong? Isn't this the one you lost?" Luna caught sight of the look in Gwen's eyes and quickly grabbed hold of her hand. "It's okay if it's not yours; we can always continue searching."Gwen bit her lip and glanced first at the people standing before her, then at the dark sky that looked like it was about to hail soon. Finally, she nodded and said, "That's right. This is the one I lost."She sniffed, carefully tucked the dirty metal plate into her pocket, and then forced a smile for everyone watching. "Thank you all for helping me find my lost item."Finally, she glanced at Lucas, biting her lip nervously. "Are these all Joshua's men?"Lucas nodded."I have a little over ten thousand dollars in here," Gwen said, smiling, as she took out a card from her bag and handed it to Lucas. "Please use it to pay for a nice dinner for everyone who helped out. If there's any money left over, feel free to divide it among yourselves as a reward for all your hard work."Lucas took the car
"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
Joshua finally tucked his phone away as he turned to glance coldly at Mr. Miller. "Continue."If whatever you tell me doesn't match up with my investigation…"Joshua curled his lips into a smirk. "I can't guarantee that Miller Group will even still be standing tomorrow."Joshua never tried to target the Miller family all because of Luke.Even though Kate had almost killed Bonnie, and Jim therefore developed a hatred toward her, Joshua never chose to get revenge on the Miller family, but it was not because he did not possess the power to do so.Truth be told, even though the Miller family was one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Saigen City, they were still no match for Joshua at all. The only reason he let them off the hook was that the Miller family had given Luke hope during his loneliest days.If the Miller family had not told Luke about the potential cure for Gwen's disease, Luke would have taken his life to be with Gwen.Therefore, before they arrived in S
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
