Even though Thomas had at one point hated his father’s guts, he was still his father at the end of the
day.
Besides, even though Senior Howard had committed many mistakes in the past, he still
displayed remorse and tried to make up for his mistakes after finding out that Tina and Dan had
deceived him for so many years.
The truth was, this was more than enough.
Thomas believed that if Senior Howard had pulled through, he would continue finding ways to patch
things up between them.
Sadly, fate had different plans. Senior Howard had passed away before he could do so and before he
could even meet his own granddaughter.
At the thought of this, Thomas sighed and took Yannie’s hand in his. “Let’s go. We’ll stop by to see
Riley, then give my father a proper goodbye. After everything is settled, let’s pay Joshua a visit to
discuss what should happen from here on out.”
Yannie nodded and curled her fingers around his.
According to Tina, Thomas was doing all this just to get his hands on the family fortune, but at this
moment, she realized that Tina had been wrong.
The most important thing that mattered to Thomas was her and Riley, then his late father, and finally,
the family business.
This was the biggest difference between Thomas and the mother–and–son duo, Tina and Dan.
Thomas placed the people in his life above all else, whereas Tina and Dan cared only about money.
This was why Tina had been under the impression that Joshua was helping Thomas out of greed.
Thomas started the car and headed toward the hospital.
On the way, Yannie received a call from Luna, who was checking in on them.
“Don’t worry; we’ve already left the police station.” Yannie glanced at Thomas, who had his eyes on the
road, and added, “But unfortunately, we still need you and Mr. Lynch to help us out at Howard Group
for a little while longer. After what happened, we need to get things in order before returning to Howard
Group.”
Luna was reassured to hear this. “Alright. Don’t worry; Joshua and I will take good care of things.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
Behind her, Joshua stood in front of the glass windows, staring down at the streets as he held a cup of
coffee in his hand.
Luna paused, then tucked her phone away and joined him.
The scene below them was a little amusing; after the reveal of Senior Howard’s video online, everyone
finally saw Tina and Dan’s true colors. Because of this, the people on the streets erupted into chaos.
She bit her lip and closed her eyes. “I won’t ask stupid questions like this anymore.”
She knew the answer, but for some reason, whenever she thought about what Denise had said, she
could not help doubting herself.
“Let’s go visit Riley.” Thomas let go of her and sighed, staring intently at her. “While I was locked in the
holding cell, all I could think of was….whether I could see you and Riley if Joshua’s plan failed.”
He sighed. “That poor old geezer. He had trusted the wrong people, and even until his death, he never
managed to meet his granddaughter.”
