The color drained from Kate‘s face.
From the moment she caught sight of Joshua in her house, she knew that he was here because of
Luke and Steven. When she saw how pale her father looked, as well as Joshua‘s declaration, she
instinctively knew that Joshua must have found out about everything.
She curled her lips into a forced smile and said with a hint of helplessness.
“I never thought Mr. Lynch would be so swift.”
Joshua had only met Steven once that morning, and because of this, Kate thought she would at least
have one or two days to be in the clear.
To her surprise, Joshua had managed to piece everything together within 12 hours and even showed
up at her door to confront her.
She had always heard rumors about Joshua being a brilliant man, but she had never once witnessed
the extent of his intelligence and quick thinking.
This was the first time.
Joshua could not help smirking when he heard this.
“I should‘ve known. However…” He glanced coldly at Steven and sneered.
“It‘s not too late yet.” With that, he reached his hand out toward Steven.
“We meet again, Mr. Hughes.”
Steven had no idea what Joshua and Kate were talking about, but when he saw Joshua extending his
hand toward him, he shook it nonetheless.
“Nice to meet you again.”
After all, Joshua was Thomas‘ advisor, and as Thomas‘ business partner, Steven knew better than to
get on Joshua‘s bad side.
Joshua froze momentarily when he met Steven‘s clear gaze.
A split second later, he let go of Steven‘s hand and strode away.
“What was Mr. Lynch doing at your house?” Steven turned to shoot Kate a puzzled look as soon as
Joshua disappeared.
Kate had claimed that she did not know Joshua very well, but judging from their conversation, the two
of them seemed quite familiar with each other.
“Perhaps he just came for a catch–up.” Kate chuckled and snaked her arm around Steven‘s.
For some reason, she could not help feeling that she would lose him very soon. Therefore, she had to
cling to him as though her life depended on it.
“Father.” Kate strode toward her father, smiling as she held onto Steven‘s arm.
“What did Mr. Lynch talk to you about just now?” Mr. Miller was silent for a long time before finally
breaking into a sheepish smile.
“Nothing. Mr. Lynch was so kind as to help me analyze the financial data regarding Miller Group and
helped me predict the financial challenges that would come our way….”
Even though he was trying to be tactful, Kate quickly caught on.
Joshua had used Miller Group‘s future to threaten her father.
Steven, however, was oblivious to all this.
“That‘s extremely kind of Mr. Lynch, isn‘t it?”
He had grown up in a well–protected family, and on top of that, he had been in a coma for five years.
Therefore, even though he looked close to thirty, his mind was still that of a young man in his early
twenties.
Mr. Miller glanced first at Steven, then at Kate, and finally smiled.
“That‘s right. Mr. Lynch…is a very nice man.”
This was the vengeance between Luke and the Hughes family.
Not only that, but Luke had already ceased to exist, yet Joshua was still willing to threaten them over
this.
Mr. Miller knew full well that Joshua possessed the capability of bankrupting them all, but Miller Group
was a robust and well–endorsed company. Even if Joshua wanted to bankrupt them, it would cost him
a significant financial burden to do so.
However, he had not hesitated at all.
It was as though Joshua did not care about the price he had to pay to avenge Luke‘s death.
Mr. Miller could not help wondering–just how close had Joshua and Luke been before his death?
Gwen spent the entire afternoon relaxing in The Spring Resort.
