Chapter 2641

“Why are you so early today?” Kate gently asked, looking feminine and demure in front of Steven.
Steven smiled and took a sip of the milk given to him. “I wanted to head to the office to do some
reading. There‘s a meeting with the Howards today.” Then, he looked up at Kate. “Have you heard?
The illegitimate son of the Howards, Thomas Howard, is back. I heard that he even brought over great
help from Merchant City. His name is Joshua Lynch.”

Upon hearing Joshua‘s name, Kate‘s hands shuddered a little.

She had heard about Thomas returning from Merchant City. She also knew that Gwen and Luna were
on a vacation in Saigen City. However, this was the first time hearing that Joshua was here, too.

Upon hearing that name, Kate‘s heart constricted tightly. She found it hard to breathe.

She was not afraid of Thomas and Yannie settling down in Saigen City. After all, she and Thomas did
not have any conflict of interest, and Thomas was not a person that liked to meddle in other people‘s
affairs when he could barely cope with his own. He could not possibly care about hers.

She was also not worried that Luna and Gwen were here, knowing that they came only for a vacation
and would not be staying long. As long as she looked after Steven properly, not letting Gwen and
Steven meet, this issue would pass smoothly. However, Joshua…

Kate held her utensils tightly. This man was not easy to deal with. He was Luke‘s best friend. He was
extremely cold, calm, and smart. She could stop Luna and Gwen from meeting Steven, but she could
not stop Joshua from meeting Steven. 1,



If Joshua and Steven met, he would surely suspect Steven‘s identity.

Also, if he were to tell Gwen about it…




From Joshua‘s and Gwen‘s relationship with Luke, by then, no matter whether Steven was the real
Luke or not, they would surely pester him.

What if…

What if Steven chose their side? What would happen to her? What would happen to the Hughes
family?

What would be the Hughes and the Miller families‘ future?

Seeing Kate holding her spoon in a daze, Steven furrowed his brows and asked concernedly,” Why do
you look so terrible?”

“Nothing.” Kate came to her senses and smiled awkwardly at Steven. Her voice sounded rather
sheepish. “Maybe I woke up too early. I don‘t have much appetite.” Then, she put her spoon down. “I‘m
done eating. You…”

Kate paused for a while. “If you‘re done eating, you can head off to your office early. “Be careful of
Joshua Lynch, though. He is not to be reckoned with. He‘d deliberately try to get close to you by saying
how much you look like his friend, then after gaining your trust, he‘ll betray you. When I was in
Merchant City, I had heard of his rumors before, so be careful. He is a very fake person.” Steven
furrowed his brow in bewilderment. Back then, did Kate not go to Merchant City simply to ask for
medical help? Why did she get involved with a business giant like Joshua Lynch? However, he nodded.
“Alright, I‘ll keep that in mind.” Meanwhile, at the hotel.

Luna shot up, waking up from a nightmare. She immediately rushed to Gwen‘s room, only to find her
room empty. She immediately took her phone to dial Gwen, but Gwen‘s phone rang in the room. She
realized that she did not bring her phone with her. Luna panicked and anxiously dialed Joshua‘s
number. “Joshua, Gwen is missing!”
