Denise looked at Joshua as her eyes widened. “No! That can‘t be!”
She bit her lip and shook her head vehemently. She did not dare to look at the information on the floor.
“That‘s not true! How am I not my parent‘s biological daughter? They‘ve treated me so nicely ever since
I was young. They‘d never do the things you said and would never use me!”
As she talked, she glared at Joshua evilly. “I won‘t believe a thing you said; not a word! You‘re all
Gwen‘s friends. Every word that you said is helping Gwen, the whore who wrecked other people‘s
relationships! You people will never fool me!” Gwen sneered at what Denise said. She could not be
bothered to argue with Denise about who the other woman was in this case. She reckoned Denise was
a stubborn woman that would never listen to anyone else.
‘If she is a smart person, she‘d never do such a thing to Thomas and Yannie in the mansion after
Thomas‘s father got shot and was sent to the hospital!‘
She squinted, and unlike the gentle and indifferent person she was before, she glared at Denise‘s face
coldly. “Say it again. What am I?”
Denise sneered and answered loudly, “You‘re a whore!”
Slap! Gwen’s powerful slap landed on Denise‘s cheek. “Again. What am I?”
Denise‘s face was swollen with a handprint on it. In spite of that, she was not about to give in. “You‘re a
whore! No matter how many times you slap me, you’re still a whore!”
Slap! Gwen did not relent. She mustered every bit of strength she could in her attacks, so much so that
Denise tasted blood in her mouth. Regardless of that, she widened her eyes and glared at Gwen as
she did not give up.
“Whore!”
Slap!
“Whore–“Slap!
“Who— ” Slap!
This lasted for several rounds. Gwen‘s wrist hurt as a reason for the continuous slapping. Regardless,
Denise was in a worse situation than Gwen. Bloodstains were present at the corner of her lips.
She massaged her sore wrist, glanced at Denise, and challengingly asked, “Again. What am I?”
Denise pursed her lips and looked at Gwen. Then, she looked at Joshua and Luna who were standing
by the side, amused at the sight. Finally, she caved in. “You are...my sister–in-law.” Everyone was
shocked to hear that. The living room became quiet.
Luna tried hard to hold it in, but alas, she failed. “Gwen, that‘s enough. She‘s already calling you her
sister–in–law.”
Gwen did not think Denise would change her mind and called her sister–in–law after being slapped
multiple times. She was stunned.
“Even though Gwen doesn‘t like Steven and never thought about being together with Steve, Luke was
their son too.
There‘s nothing wrong with Denise calling Gwen her sister–in –law.” Joshua curled up his lips and
smiled. Then, he looked at the message on his phone. “That‘s enough. It‘s not good for us to stay too
long here. It‘s Thomas‘ father‘s mansion.”
He got on his feet and said, “Bring Denise back to the hotel with you. I‘ll inform the Hughes family to
redeem her.” Luna nodded and stood up.
“What about you?”
“I‘m going to the hospital.” Joshua massaged his glabella.
“I need to go check on Thomas. If he‘s doing fine, I need to go see what‘s the situation like with
Thomas‘ father. His safety is important to the next step in our plan.” He looked at Gwen indifferently.
“There‘s a high chance that they will send Steven to redeem their daughter. Can both of you...handle
him?”
