Chapter 2669


    The Hughes and Miller families could have allowed Luke to return to his family after donating Steven‘s


    organs to Gwen. As Luke‘s friend, Joshua knew that apart from being a skilled fighter, Luke was also a


    smart man that could easily pick up running a business. Even if the Miller and Hughes families did not


    want to choose this option, they could have helped Luke find alternative solutions to cure Gwen so that


    they would not need to sacrifice Steven at all!


    However, they chose not to.


    They had nned to take Luke‘s life and render him a container for Steven‘s mind since the start.


    This was why they had sent Kate to Merchant City to keep an eye on Luke. This was why Kate‘s


    feelings toward Luke had always appeared fleeting and ambiguous.


    Sometimes, she would appear to be head over heels for Luke, but other times, Joshua could not help


    thinking that she was cold and indifferent toward him.


    This was because Kate had never loved Luke at all; the only thing she loved about him was his face.


    The face that was identical to Steven‘s.


    At the thought of this, Joshua narrowed his eyes and turned to stare at Mr. Miller. “What if I want to turn


    Steven back into Luke?”


    Mr. Miller lowered his head.


    “That‘s not possible, Mr. Lynch. I know you miss your friend and long for him to return, but…”


    He sighed. “There‘s no way we can do that, just as there‘s no way to retrieve something that has been


    washed away by the ocean.


    “We’ve already reced everything that belonged to Luke with Steven‘s, and it‘s as though his entire


    brain has be Steven‘s brain, now.


    “Even if we removed all of Steven‘s memories and cognition from his mind, it‘ll only render him an


    empty husk of a human being, but never be Luke again.” With that, Mr. Miller lifted his head to


    nce sheepishly at Joshua.


    “Besides the fact that his body is still very much alive, everything about Luke is already dead now.


    “Luke had nned to donate his heart to Gwen so she can live, and we’ve done the same, just with


    Steven‘s heart instead.


    “Since we‘ve fulfilled Luke‘s dying wish, you should all treat this as though Luke has truly died instead


    of trying to trouble us even further, isn‘t it?”


    Joshua‘s expression turned dark upon hearing this. He stomped over to Mr. Miller and lifted him by his


    cor. “Since you‘re capable of recing Luke‘s mind with Steven‘s thoughts, you‘ll surely be able to do


    the opposite.


    “I‘m going to give you two weeks‘ time, and by the end of two weeks, I want to see Luke return. If you


    fail…”


    He narrowed his eyes.


    “I‘ll make it my mission to bankrupt both the Hughes and Miller families. Not only that, but I will expose


    all your wrongdoings and sue you in court.


    “I want everyone to find out what a horrible crime you‘vemitted!”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    With that, he let go of Mr. Miller, wiped the blood on his white shirt, and stormed toward the door.


    However, the moment he reached the entrance, the door creaked open from outside.


    Kate strode into the house, clinging onto Steven with one hand while holding some shopping bags in


    the other.


    Both of them froze in shock when they came face–to–face with Joshua. Kate furrowed her brow as a


    bad feeling sunk into her heart.


    “What‘re you doing here, Joshua? “


    “What do you think?” Joshua nced first at Steven, then at Kate.


    “I have to admit that I underestimated you, Ms. Miller.”
