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 the 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 Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
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 they 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.
