Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)

Chapter 2841

Has Steven returned?

Gwen stormed out the door.

Steven was heading in her direction, and Gwen noticed that he was alone. She furrowed her brow and

stared at him. “Denise…”

“I couldn’t find her.” Steven frowned and sighed, his face full of despair and helplessness. “I’ve

dispatched my men to search the entire city, even the slums on the outskirts of town, but none of them

could find her. “When she last appeared in the surveillance tapes, she was with a strange man I had

never seen before. They walked out of view of the cameras, and we couldn’t find any trace of them

after that…” Steven’s voice was full of sorrow. “Perhaps…we’re already too late.”

Perhaps Denise had taken Thomas seriously and relented to sleeping with a strange man.

Steven felt his breath catch in his throat.

Denise had lost everything she had: Her parents hated her guts, Tina had been using her all this while,

and Thomas–the man she thought she loved–wanted nothing more than to see her dead.

Therefore, there was nothing else in this world for her to hold onto anymore.

Steven was terrified that he would soon receive the news that someone had discovered her dead body

somewhere.

“I’m sure we’ll be able to find her. You…” Gwen paused mid–sentence, unsure of how to console him.

A split second later, she let out a sigh. It seemed as though nothing she could say would effectively

ease Steven’s worries.

All of a sudden, the door swung open, and Thomas strode out of the room. “Is that Steven?”

He leaned against the doorframe, glancing coldly at Steven and Gwen. “Did you come back by

yourself?! guess you didn’t manage to find her after all.”

The disdain in Thomas‘ voice made Steven’s blood boil.

He could not believe that the culprit of his sister’s disappearance would dare to show his face, much

less be so rude to him!

Steven clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked. “Thomas Howard! I know Denise had

defenseless girl like her!”

“A defenseless girl?” Thomas raised his brows and curled his lips into a sneer. “Are you talking about

the same girl who drugged me and had sex with me without my consent, all the while forcing the

woman I love to listen to everything from outside the door?

“This defenseless girl you’re talking about ruined everything I had with Yannie!”

Steven’s entire body stiffened upon hearing this.

The truth was, he did not know what had truly happened between Denise and Thomas the day before.

All he knew was that Denise had done something wrong and crossed Thomas, but he never thought

that… Denise would do something like this.

Steven furrowed his brow. Even though he was starting to change his mind, he still could not help trying

to defend Denise. “Perhaps that wasn’t her plan at all.”

“That wasn’t her plan?” Thomas sneered. “Are you suggesting that as long as it wasn’t the person’s

original intention to do something, I should automatically forgive every mistake they’ve committed?

“Even though you hadn’t meant to steal Luke’s body for your own, it still happened anyway; does that

mean you’re automatically forgiven just because you had no intention of it happening?

Thomas fixated his cold gaze on Steven. “I can’t believe I underestimated you, Steven. Everyone from

the Hughes family is selfish and greedy, including you!”

With that, he strode over to Steven’s side, towering over him, and added, “Didn’t you say that you’d

unleash your wrath on me if you couldn’t find Denise within an hour?

“Well, I’m standing here right in front of you, so do whatever you want!”
