Chapter 2788


    “I–I can handle Thomas on my own.” After hesitating for a moment, Yannie decided to reject Luna‘s


    offer. “Don‘t worry; I‘ll take care of this. You guys should…take care of whatever you need to.


    “I‘m sure that Mr. Lynch will be overwhelmed by work. Not only does he have to look after Howard


    Group while Thomas is gone, but he needs to investigate Senior Howard‘s death and find Riley at the


    same time. I‘m sure that he could use the help.”

    Luna paused when she heard this.


    “Alright,” Gwen piped up before Luna could even reply. “I trust that you can take care of things on


    Thomas‘ side on your own. Luna and I shall head over to help Joshua now.”


    She gave Yannie a finger–crossed gesture and added, “We‘ll await your good news.”


    With that, she strode away, dragging Luna behind her.


    Even after getting into the car, Luna still turned to nce in Yannie‘s direction with a concerned look.


    “Are we leaving just like this? I‘m worried that she‘ll lose it again–”


    “She won‘t,” Gwen interrupted her curtly. “She‘s not a child anymore, so how will she change her mind


    just like that? Besides, didn‘t you notice that the look in her eyes changed as soon as she decided not


    to pout and do something about the situation instead?”


    Gwen sighed and turned to stare out the window.“Luna, you‘re such a softie. You were worried about


    Aura back in Sea City and constantly treated her like a child, but in reality, Aura not only had a mind of


    her own, but she even took matters into her own hands to seduce Joshua behind your back and trick


    you.


    “It‘s the same for Yannie. She‘s already in her twenties, and she even has a child. You should stop


    treating her like a kid. Since she‘s decided she‘ll stop crying and instead help Thomas prove his


    innocence, I‘m sure she‘ll stick to it. You shouldn‘t worry about her.” With that, Gwen turned to nce at


    Luna. “Where shall we go now?”


    Luna paused for a moment, then sighed and replied, “Let‘s go to Howard Group. I‘m sure we can help


    Joshua in some way.”


    Gwen nodded and ordered the driver to send them to Howard Group.


    The driver started the car.


    Luna watched in the rearview mirror as Yannie got into a taxi behind them.


    Gwen was right; Yannie was a grown–up. She should not have assumed Yannie was still a child that


    needed coddling just because she was younger than her. Even Thomas could not guarantee that he


    would be able to protect Yannie forever, much less Luna. There were some things that Yannie needed


    to learn to face on her own. The car soon arrived at Howard Group Tower. Luna had always expected


    things to be a mess when they arrived…but not to this extent.


    The entire building seemed to be clouded over by an ominous aura.


    A crowd of people dressed in ck and white–some were employees, whereas others were investors


    of thepany–surrounded the building, chanting.


    It was only until they got out of the car that Luna and Gwen could hear what these people were saying;


    they wanted Joshua to get out of the building and hand over all thepany‘s shares because they did


    not want a murderer as the CEO.


    “These people are insane,” said Gwen, frowning as she covered her ears. “Thomas‘ case is still under


    investigation, so how can they conclude that he‘s the murderer? “Besides, even if he did kill Senior


    Howard, it still isn‘t up to them to make such ludicrous demands.”


    Gwen‘s voice was raised as she said this so that Luna could hear her.


    However, as soon as she finished her sentence, a middle–aged woman in front of her turned to stare at


    her in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
