Chapter 2403


    Because of this, Thomas had not been paying attention to what Nellie had been saying at all.He


    immediately snapped out of his thoughts, regained hisposure, and smiled as he nced at Nellie.


    ''''No problem at all.Let''s sign the contract right now."


    Then, he nced at Luna, who was still gaping at him.


    "Let''s sign the contract, Ms.Luna."


    Luna furrowed her brows and stared back at him in puzzlement.


    "I honestly have no idea what you''re trying to do."


    Thomas smiled and tossed the stack of documents onto the table in front of her.


    "After you sign this, we''ll officially be business partners.With all the time we''re going to be spending


    together, you''ll eventually find out what I''m trying to do."


    All of a sudden, Luna could not help feeling that the contract she was holding was like a ticking time


    bomb.If Joshua were here, he would have stopped her from signing this contract, but...


    Her breath caught in her throat when she lifted her head to nce at the image of Sean on the screen,


    who seemed to be increasingly lethargic by the minute.


    Even though Sean was not rted to her by blood, he was Jim''s brother and Joshua''s cousin.


    Not only that, but he was the newly adopted son of her parents.


    Therefore, she did not dare to put Sean''s well-being at risk for her dignity.


    What if...


    What if the person helping Thomas had indeed been Malcolm all this while? Malcolm had grown up in


    Merchant City, so he knew this ce like the back of his hand.


    What would happen if they could not find Sean anywhere in Merchant City, not even with thebined


    forces of Joshua, Jim, and Luke? Finally, Luna let out an exhale.


    She would do this—to salvage Sean''s hands, to find out whether the man that had been secretly


    helping Thomas was indeed Malcolm, and to jump start her career.She did not seem to have any other


    choice.She picked up the pen that Thomas had tossed onto the table and signed her name on the


    contract after checking it.


    As soon as she put down the pen, she stared coldly at Thomas said, "I hope you stick to your word,


    Mr.Howard."


    "Of course I will"'' Thomas leaned against the back of the sofa and ced his slender fingers against


    his temple.


    "It takes you about half an hour to reach home, and in half an hour, these two hostages will appear at


    the entrance to Central Hospital.Please retrieve them when the timees."

    Then, he stood up, his tall, slender frame towering over her like Joshua''s.He curled his lips into a smile


    and added, "We''re going to be seeing more of each other very soon, and here''s to doing business with


    you, Ms.Luna."


    Then, he strode out of the room.


    Unbeknownst to him, a group of men dressed in ck had surrounded the booth while they were


    talking.


    The moment Thomas slid the doors open, he came face-to-face with Joshua''s cold, prating eyes.


    "Mr.Lynch."


    After a moment of surprise, he smiled at Joshua and nced at the men behind him.


    "Why did you bring so many people here? Did you think I was going to hurt your wife and daughter?"


    Joshua narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at him but did not reply.


    Even though he remained silent, Joshua''s domineering aura was palpable, and Thomas narrowed his


    eyes when he sensed this.


    A split secondter, he chuckled.


    "I''m not someone who''d stoop so low as to hurt a woman and a child.


    "Ms.Luna and I are now business partners, and we''ll be working together very closely in the future."
