A red handprint immediately appeared on Yannie‘s swollen face. Yannie bit her lip and held her
swollen, painful cheek with one hand as she glanced at Thomas, who was pinned to the floor.
She opened her mouth, intending to say something, but could not help feeling that nothing she could
say would be right.
Finally, she bit her lip, slid her other hand into her pocket, and surreptitiously dialed her emergency
contact.
She had two emergency contacts; one was Thomas, and the other was her mother , Mrs. Flores. Since
she could not accurately dial Luna‘s number for help without looking at her phone, she had no choice
but to call Mrs. Flores instead.
Soon, her phone vibrated in her pocket, indicating that Mrs. Flores had picked up the call.
Yannie bit her lip and got onto both knees. “Senior Howard, Mrs. Howard, Thomas hadn‘t meant to do
any of this! When he brought me along to Howard Mansion, all he intended to do was to have a
civilized conversation as a family, but he never thought that Mrs. Howard would try to threaten us under
the pretense of inviting us over for a family lunch...
“We never meant to hurt Senior Howard. Please let Thomas go; he didn‘t mean to do this!”
Senior Howard furrowed his brow when he heard this. With his hand still on his abdomen, he glanced
dubiously at Thomas and Yannie, then at Tina. Finally, he said feebly, “What is going on?”
Could Tina have been the one who summoned Thomas and Yannie here to repair their broken
relationship?
“Don‘t listen to her!” Tina narrowed her eyes, shot Yannie a murderous glare, then glanced at the
guards.” Keep Thomas locked in the guest bedroom; we‘ll decide what to do with him as soon as
Senior Howard gets better!
Then, she gave Denise a meaningful look and added,” Keep an eye on them, Denise!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, the sound of sirens echoed from outside the house.
Tina and the servants quickly brought Senior Howard into the ambulance, and soon, the ambulance
departed toward the hospital.
The only people who remained in the room were Denise, Thomas, Yannie, and a few of the
bodyguards.
“Are you still going to defy me?” Denise crossed her arms in front of her chest, staring at Yannie, and
sneered. “Did you honestly think anyone would believe you? You‘re in Howard Mansion , for God‘s
sake, and to everyone else, Thomas’ future wife is me, not you, bitch!” Then, she waved dismissively at
the guards and ordered,” Send Thomas into my room.”
Both Thomas and Yannie widened their eyes in shock.” What are you going to do?”
“What do you think?” Denise sneered. “Did you think Godmom summoned me here just to watch? Well,
let me tell you something; I‘ve been preparing for this day for a long time.”
Then, she scoffed and gestured for the guards to follow her to her room.
“Denise Hughes, I have one piece of advice for you; you‘d better watch your step,” Thomas said
frostily, narrowing his eyes as the guards dragged him along.
The poison that had been spiked in the food was beginning to take effect, and he was starting to feel
very uncomfortable.
Despite this, he still tried to put on a strong front. “If you don‘t, I won‘t let you off the hook so easily
once I get out of here.”
“Don‘t worry; you wouldn‘t dare touch me as soon as I get pregnant with your child.” Denise chuckled.
“You started treating Yannie so nicely ever since she gave birth to your child, so you won‘t dare to lay a
finger on me once I do the same!”
