Steven Daused when he heard this. “Perhaps that‘s the reason Senior Howard died so suddenly
Lucas, Luna, and Gwen froze when they heard this.
A split second later, Luna furrowed her brow.“Are you saying that...”
“Don‘t you think it‘s too much of a coincidence?” Steven narrowed his eyes. “Just as Thomas and
Joshua are about to succeed, Senior Howard dies out of the blue. If Thomas succeeded in his
conquest, the people who‘d suffer the most dramatic losses are not Senior Howard at all but Tina and
her son, Dan.
“Besides, they‘re the only people who were anywhere near Senior Howard last night. If Senior Howard
dies, not only will it let Thomas and Joshua‘s efforts go to waste, but Thomas will even be accused as a
murderer who shot his father...”
“You‘re right,” a clear voice interrupted him.
Joshua stepped out of the elevator, staring at Steven with an impressed look. “The people who would
benefit the most from Senior Howard‘s death are Tina and Dan. Not only that, but the timeline matches
too. Most importantly, however —”
He handed Steven a folder and said, “Look at these people outside.”
Steven furrowed his brow, took the folder from Joshua, and flipped through it. His eyes widened in
shock. “The people outside have nothing to do with Howard Group at all?”
If so, why did they claim to be employees and investors of Howard Group?
“That‘s because someone bribed them.” Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared out at the crowd outside
the window. “Tina‘s true intentions aren‘t to force me to give up my share in Howard Group. All she
wants is for me to be stuck here so that I won‘t be able to investigate Senior Howard‘s death myself
and bail Thomas out of jail.”
He curled his lips into a smirk. “Even though she‘s kept me here, I still have ways of investigating this
through the internet. Of course, it doesn‘t make things any easier.
“Not only that, but if I don‘t show up in person to bail Thomas out of jail, people will think it doesn‘t
matter that much to me at all, and I‘ll eventually run into many obstacles.”
Luna frowned when she heard this. “Do you need me to help you?”
“No, you shouldn‘t.” Joshua reached out to stroke Luna‘s hair lovingly. “You‘re not from here, and not
many people here in Saigen City know that you‘re my wife, so sending you in my place won‘t help
much at all.”
With that, he shifted his gaze to Steven, who was staring out the window at the crowd outside.
When he felt Joshua‘s yaze on him, Steven turned to meet his eye. “Joshua, are you saying that ...I
should yo in your place?”
Steven knew that he was the perfect candidate to help Joshua,
He was a local and the wealthiest man in Saigen City, too. Everyone, even the police, would
definitely place him as a priority. He did not even need to say much–his mere presence was already
enough. Nonetheless, Steven was a little surprised by this. He was nothing but an acquaintance to
Joshua, so why would Joshua hand over such an important task to him? “You‘re not a stranger to me.”
Joshua smiled as though he could understand exactly what Steven was thinking.
“You used to be my best friend.”
