Chapter 2782


    Nigel froze when he saw this. He was a little surprised that Denise would make such a request.


    A split secondter, he curled his lips into a smile.


    [Nigel: I guess you‘re not as dumb as I thought.]


    He initially thought that this woman, who had been brainwashed by her family into liking Thomas


    against her true will, would not be the sharpest tool in the shed. Therefore, he was surprised to see that


    she still had some basic awareness.


    Denise furrowed her brow, feeling a little uneasy as she stared at the screen.


    The more she thought about the fact that a seven–year–old child had called her ‘dumb‘, the more


    outraged she got.


    She bit her lip and typed a response.


    [Denise: Didn‘t Joshua or Luna ever teach you manners?]


    [Nigel: I wasn‘t trying to be rude, I‘m just telling the truth.]


    Nigel turned on the webcam.


    The moment he did so, the screen of Denise‘sptop was filled with the image of a young boy that was


    almost identical to Joshua. To be specific, Nigel‘s features resembled Luna‘s more, but the air of


    arrogance on his face was unmistakable.


    The steely look in his eyes was as suffocating as his father‘s.


    Denise froze when she saw this.


    “Now do you trust me?” Nigel curled his lips into a smirk. “Do you need me to provide any more


    evidence?”


    Denise paused, then quickly shook her head.


    There was no need.


    Nigel‘s face and the look in his eyes were more than enough to prove himself. Gics could not lie.


    “Alright.” With that, Nigel turned off the camera and resumed talking to her through the chatbox


    [Nigel: My Uncle Thomas is already in Saigen City. He‘s staying at Aurora Suites; I‘ll send his room


    number to you in a while. Please bring Riley over as soon as you can.]


    With that, he proceeded to send her the address to the hotel, along with the room number and a long


    chain of numbers.


    Denise knew that this was thebination to unlock the hotel room door. She bit her lip and took a


    photo of the information, then replied.


    [Denise: I’ll try to bring Riley over before the day ends.]


    With that, she let out an exhale and was about to ask Nigel about the recordings he had


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    promised, but before she could do so, a string of audio files appeared in the chat. Denise put on her


    earphones and began listening. The information contained within the recordings was so shocking that


    her face gradually turned white. By the time she emerged from her room, looking deste, the Hughes


    family were already eating lunch. When they saw hering downstairs, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes


    exchanged a nce, then smiled at her. “What time did you sleepst night, Denise?” Mrs. Hughes


    said with a hint of gentle scolding.


    “Why did you wake up sote?” Mr. Hughes was a little upset by this. “It‘s already noon! I‘ve never


    seen any young socialitemit such ludicrosity!” Denise could not help sneering when she heard this.


    She was not a young socialite at all but a daughter from a poor family. However, despite thinking this,


    she still put on a brave front and pursed her lips rather defiantly. “It‘s just this one time.”


    Mr. Hughes scoffed and pretended to forgive her. “Alright. You‘re not to do this again! Come sit down


    and have lunch!” Denise trotted over to the dining table and sat down across from them. “Where‘s


    Steven? Isn‘t he home?”
