Chapter 2567
Ever since the day Thomas arrived in Merchant City, he had been targeting Luna and Joshua, resulting in Luna‘s hostility toward Thomas. It amazed her to find out Thomas was the father of the baby girl she wanted to adopt.
“Did Yannie tell you this?” asked Joshua when Luna did not answer his question. He furrowed his brow.
“Yes,” Luna answered faintly, “and I don‘t like Thomas.”
She did not think Thomas would treat Riley and Yannie kindly.
At this moment, Yannie was in a partnership with Thomas, and she was one of the celebrities under his agency. She was helping Thomas to earn income as well.
The news of Yannie‘s previous pregnancy was all over the city, yet Thomas did nothing. He did not even bother to take down the news after Yannie was that deep in trouble. If Luna did not think about letting Joshua take it down, who knew how this whole chaos would turn out?
If Thomas could not even guarantee to protect Yannie, who was earning income for him, how could Luna believe Thomas could provide a good environment and future for Riley?
Luna bit her lip while thinking. “Could we… Could we not let Thomas know his relationship with Riley?”
Rather than letting Riley know about her father, she preferred to let Riley live
Joshua‘s chuckle was heard on the other end of the line. It seemed as though he did not need to hide this anymore.
Thus, he shifted into a more comfortable position and, with a smile, gently spoke, “I know you‘re at odds with Thomas, but maybe the truth isn‘t what you had in mind.”
Joshua looked at the computer screen, typing to let Lucas handle Yannie‘s news as he explained to Luna, “Maybe Thomas knew Riley is her daughter from the moment he was here in the city. Maybe Riley is why he came.”
Luna held her breath. She could not believe what she heard.
Thomas…was in Merchant City because of Riley?
Joshua nodded as though having guessed what Luna had in mind. “You don‘t have to be surprised. He‘s really here for Riley. So, do you now know why Thomas wanted to take Malcolm in DfXc\$}M give him a new name, Lucifer Howard?”
Luna bit her lip, falling silent for a moment before she nodded vehemently.
She should have seen this coming. If there was no secret transaction, Thomas would never be so kind to take in Malcolm.
“So, Malcolm used Riley‘s information to make a trade with Thomas, and Thomas took Malcolm in and came here, right?”
Joshua nodded. “Unfortunately, Riley was sick in the ICU when Thomas came. I bet Malcolm must‘ve made false accusations about us to him. That, in turn, caused him to target you and me.”
Joshua smiled bitterly.
“Do you really think Thomas would attack us for no reason? Just because of our previous generation? My mother and his mother have been dead for many years now.”
Luna did not know what to say. She really did think…that Thomas was targeting her and Joshua because of the thing that happened between the past generations. She also thought Thomas was
inexplicable.
Everything he did, after all, was for Riley. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“The reason Thomas didn‘t take care of Yannie‘s problem is that he‘s probably in a mountain with no connection to the outside world. He has no idea what happened.” Joshua laughed. “Do you still think he‘s an inexplicable and irresponsible man?”
