Chapter 2827
Denise was shocked to see how nervous Luna felt for her, and tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
She did not expect the person who cared for her the most at this time…was actually Luna.
After she discovered the Hughes family’s true colors, she thought that no one else would care or worry for her
anymore apart from her brother. Frankly speaking, she was prepared for the worst when she decided to come.
She knew better than anyone else what awaited her upon seeing Thomas and Yannie.
Nonetheless, she did not want to escape anymore. If Thomas could kill her, it would be the best ending for her. She
had helped Gwen to get what she wanted, and she believed Gwen would keep her promise and not bother Steven
anymore.
Therefore….all that was left to do was to give Riley back to Thomas and Yannie together with Sean. She desired
nothing else in life.
Her birth itself was a joke. She thought she was the princess of the Hughes family while all along, she was kept from
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe fact that she was adopted.
In the end, she was just a tool for her adoptive parents to atone for their sins when she was just a child. Once she
grew up, she became her adoptive parents‘ tool to fawn over the Howard family and Tina.
On the surface, Tina was her godmother. Denise thought Tina cared for her and wanted the best for her, but… Tina
merely wanted to use Denise because of her beauty. She wanted Denise to seduce and brainwash Thomas with
Denise’s virgin self to make Thomas their puppet.
Even if Denise already had sex with Thomas, her support had fallen. There was no meaning to her existence
anymore.
Thus, it surprised her that Luna would care about her when she had given up on herself and had caused so much
trouble to her.
She bit her lip and looked deep into Luna’s eyes before a feeble smile appeared on her face. “It’s not that I don’t
want to live anymore…but I know very well that there’s no place for me to hide.”
Even if she could hide, she could not possibly do so for the rest of her life. Thomas had great influence and power in
this city, especially when Senior Howard was dead and Tina and Dan were in jail. An insignificant person like her
would never be Thomas‘ match.
Hence, there was no place for her to hide. Since she had to face reality sooner or later, why not face it? At least
she would not have to live in fear anymore.
Luna was startled when she saw Denise’s despair–filled eyes and was speechless for a good while.
She sighed. “You’re right.”
“Where’s Riley?” Joshua asked Sean as he lifted his face and looked at Sean. He was sitting beside Luna.
Sean paused for a while before pointing at the room across from them. “Sleeping.” Luna’s eyes widened the
moment she heard Sean’s response. “Riley is with you?!” Sean smiled. “Yes. Nigel asked me and Ms. Hughes here
to go rescue her.”
He stood up and raised an eyebrow at Luna. “Do you want to go take a look at her?” Luna quickly got on her feet
and strode out of the room.
Just as Sean said, a plump lady was guarding carefully beside Riley when they entered the room opposite where
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthey were.
Luna felt like she had seen this lady before. She…looked like one of Denise’s socialite lackeys from when they were
at the ski resort a few days ago.
The lady smiled when she saw the astonished look on Luna’s face. “Mrs. Lynch, we meet again. Denise called me
over to help look after Riley.
“Don’t worry. Denise is my best friend, and I’ll make sure to complete the task she requested me to do. You can go
back to discuss the serious matter for now. Once you’re all finished, Riley should be awake by then.”
Luna was stunned. She curled up her lips into an awkward smile. “I thought…all of Denise’s friends are…”
“Snobs?” Denise curled her lips. “You’re right. Those socialites who knew about my matter refused to pick up my
call, but not Eva. She’s different.”
She looked at the lady in front of her fondly. “When Eva was in trouble, I was the one who helped her. Now that I’m
in trouble, she’s willing to come to lend me a hand.”
She wanted to say something else before another voice rang out.
“I’m here,” announced Thomas.
