As Luna grasped the phone tightly in her hand, her eyebrows were pressed into a firm line. She had
assumed that Thomas would come find her because of Yannie but never expected it to be so soon.
It had been less than 24 hours after the incident happened, and she had been busy dealing with
Denise and her family. There was no time for her to think about how to explain it to
Thomas if he asked.
The moment was here, yet she could only bite her lip and made it up as it went. “Why do you think so?
Yannie… Is there anything wrong with her?” Thomas furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing Luna
hesitating. He grasped his phone tighter and replied in a deep voice, “Something‘s wrong with her.
Luna, I know you and Yannie are best friends. The only one she trusted other than her mother is you.
So, I‘d like to ask what‘s going on. Previously…”
He closed his eyes and thought back to the time when Tina and Denise had drugged him when they
were at Howard Mansion. “Was it…” He hesitated and said the thing he was unwilling to accept, “Was it
Denise who helped me detoxify the substance, and not Yannie?”
It shocked Luna to see how sensitive and clear Thomas‘ mind was. Her jaw hung open widely, yet not a
sound came out of her even though she thought of saying something.
Perhaps she had underestimated Thomas. He was Joshua‘s cousin, so he must have the same
alertness and sensitivity as Joshua did. He could presume the problem based on Yannie‘s attitude and
her words.
“I‘m right, aren‘t I?” Thomas took a deep breath after not getting any response from Luna.
With his hoarse voice, he said, “I slept with Denise. Yannie wants me to remain calm and not be upset.
She wants to be in the best condition to handle the issue between my family and the Hughes family, so
she pretends that nothing happened.
“That‘s not all. She even pretended to be the person who helped me and told me she was by my side
all the time. Am I right?”
As Luna listened to Thomas‘ affirmative tone, she paused. After a moment of silence, she answered,
“Yes.”
She knew it was impossible to hide it from Thomas, and with him guessing right, it was useless for her
to continue lying. The smart man was never going to believe her just because she made up a story.
Thus, she tried to calm Thomas‘ emotions after a deep breath. “Joshua said your father‘s condition is
quite severe. Before you are completely in control of the Howard Group and your family‘s wealth, you
shouldn’t be sidetracked on this issue, so-”
“So all of you asked Yannie to endure and asked her to admit that she was with me all the time? “he cut
her off coldly. “Is this Joshua and your idea?”
Luna was at loss for words. After a while, she answered, “You can say that. We-”
“Do you really think of Yannie as your friend? As part of the family?” Thomas furrowed his brow as his
voice raised. “Yannie cares a great deal about this! You know it tortured her, but you had her pretending
that it didn‘t. You even asked her to pretend she was the one who slept with me! “Have you ever
thought how sad Yannie would be? Luna, I never thought that you‘d be such a cruel person.” He closed
his eyes. “If this happened to Joshua, would you have done the same as Yannie did?”
