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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, she strode away, dragging Luna behind her.
Even after getting into the car, Luna still turned to glance 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 glance 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe entire building seemed to be clouded over by an ominous aura.
A crowd of people dressed in black and white–some were employees, whereas others were investors of the
company–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 the company‘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?”
