Chapter 2838
“Did anything happen to Denise?” said Gwen hurriedly, expressing her concern with a frown as soon as Steven
hung up the phone.
True, both she and Luna hated Denise because of what she did to Yannie, but her opinion toward Denise changed
after they eavesdropped on the Hughes family’s conversation and the things Denise did yesterday. She found
herself thinking, from then on, that Denise was not entirely a terrible person. After all, she did receive help from
Denise.
If it were not for Denise, she would not have gotten the evidence of how the Hughes family and the Miller family
colluded to trick Luke, not even if she had help from Joshua or Thomas.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTherefore, she expressed concern after hearing Denise was in trouble from the phone call Steven was on.
Steven closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. “She knew what she did was wrong. I thought she’d still be
I stubborn like before, but she probably knew an apology won’t be enough to redeem herself. When Thomas
requested a very absurd request for her to atone for her sin, she agreed to it right away.”
His heart ached as he recalled the things Eva said with a broken heart.
To others, Denise might seem to be a bad person; a despicable woman who would do anything to achieve her
purpose and to get Thomas. Nonetheless, that was not the Denise Steven thought. He grew up with her and knew
her truest heart.
He also knew… how his parents slowly brainwashed Denise from a kind young girl with her own thoughts into a girl
who listened to their parents; becoming solely a tool for them to use for an arranged marriage.
Before the accident that rendered him comatose, he reminded Denise that she should live for herself and not the
way their parents wanted them to. It was not wrong to be selfish. At that time, she was proud like a peacock but
said the most self–abasement comment.
“Our parents are the ones who gave me my life. Without them, I won’t be the person I am today. I’ll like anything
that they want me to, and I’ll do anything that they ask.”
Of course, Denise had not gone that crazy because of Thomas at that moment. Regardless of that, she still spoke
such an unbelievable comment. Steven thought she was being unreasonable and had tried to avoid and ignore her.
Even so, he saw Denise rushing over to the accident scene as soon as she found out he was in an accident. She
held him in her arms and wailed for the onlookers to get help. It was then he realized Denise did not change as he
thought she did.
She was just too stubborn and obedient, listening to their parents‘ every whim and had lost herself in the process.
Five years later, when Steven finally awoke from his coma, he could not bear to dislike Denise, even when she

He knew she was a projection of their parent’s true personality. The crueler she was, the more it proved just how
wicked and twisted their parents were.
He had tried to make it up to her and to look after her so she could find herself back, but…
He had a hard time breathing the moment he imagined Denise going to the slums to atone for her mistake
desperately, all on her own.
He looked at Gwen and asked, “Are you willing to help me to rescue Denise?”
Gwen nodded instantly. “Yes.”
It was not because Denise had helped her before, that she did so because they had a deal.
She was simply not a person who would stand by the side and do nothing.
“Tell me, what can I do for her?” Gwen asked.
