Chapter 2464

Some of them even got involved in the dirty trade that went on behind the curtains.

Snapshots of the news Yannie had seen about these various women crossed her mind.

In the past, she used to think that this was what they deserved for being greedy and vain, but now that
Thomas brought it up...

Yannie's hand began to shake.

"They...They were ostracized and shunned from the entertainment world...Everything that happened to
them...was your doing?"

Her words were barely audible.She was not willing to believe that Thomas could have done something
so malicious.

"You're clever."

Thomas chuckled.

"I'm a bit of a clean freak, and so I'm very picky when it comes to choosing my mate.If I ever start
dating someone in the future, I won't hide it from the world either, but if people were to ride on my head
and start false rumors behind my back...I won't hesitate to silence them."

A triumphant smile spread across Thomas' face when he felt the woman in his arms start to tremble in
fear.

"What's wrong? You scared? Didn't you just tell me that you wanted to get into the entertainment
industry by association with me?"



Yannie's heart leaped into her throat.

"I...I'm not interested in the entertainment world anymore," she spat in a hoarse voice, then writhed
herself out of Thomas' grasp.

"I apologize for accidentally bumping into you, Mr.Howard! I'm sorry, but I need to go now!"

Then, she circled past him and sprinted out of the hospital.

Thomas remained motionless, curling his lips into a small smile as he watched her leave.He could still
feel the lingering warmth of her body on his chest.

This girl...was far more interesting than he thought.

All of a sudden, Xander strode in through the doors.

Yannie was still spooked by her encounter with Thomas, so when she dashed out the door, she quickly
screeched to a halt when she realized she was about to bump into another man.

"I'm so—sorry!" she stammered, bowing in apology.

Then, she lifted her head to meet the man's gaze.

Upon doing so, she realized that the person she had narrowly missed was none other than the man
she had seen at the end of the hallway on Riley's floor! This was Xander, the assistant who had been
fired from Thomas' ensemble but had secretly been helping him do his dirty work all this while.

"Keep your eyes on the road," said Xander curtly before he strode into the hospital.

Yannie remained motionless and watched as Xander walked toward where Thomas had been
standing.She was certain of what she saw this time.



The person standing outside Riley's room had been Xander!

"Sir."

Xander handed Thomas a folder when he reached him.

"You and this woman, Ms.Yannie Flores, met last year."
