Chapter 2744

After a short while, Steven arrived on his own, as he had promised Joshua.

He was under the assumption that he would have to deal with Joshua and Thomas. To his surprise,
Gwen was the one who opened the door after he knocked. There was no sighting of Joshua and
Thomas in the room either. He only saw Luna and Gwen.

The moment he saw Gwen, he furrowed his brow slightly and felt rather caught off–guard. Before
entering the room, he managed his emotions.

“Is it just the two of you?”

“Why? Do you think we can‘t deal with you?” Luna folded her arms as she sat on the sofa indifferently.
She picked up her glass and took a sip.

“Mr. Hughes, do you know why Joshua had you come over here?”

Steven paused and nodded. “I‘m here to bring Denise back.”

As he finished talking, he glanced around the room. “Where is she?”

“At a very safe place. You don‘t have to worry.” Luna placed down the glass.

“Do you know what your sister did today?”

This disconcerted Steven. When he received a call from Joshua, he wanted to ask what Denise did to
deserve them detaining her.

Nevertheless, it seemed like Joshua was busy on the other side. He only told Steven that everything
would be clear once he reached the hotel, and he hung up soon after. Therefore, Steven did not know



what Denise did nor did he know why Joshua would detain her and had him come for her. Regardless,
he had a feeling that Denise must have done something outrageous for Joshua to detain her while
being in the Hughes family territory.

He hid away his emotions and looked at Luna.

“Ms. Luna, please enlighten me. What did my sister do that all of you had to arrest her, so to speak?”

Gwen pursed her lips and sat on the other side of the sofa.” She‘s your sister. I‘m sure you know what
kind of person she is.”

She cocked her head and looked at Steven; the face that she missed and yearned for.

She composed herself as she replied as plainly as she possibly could, “Long story short, your sister
teamed up with her godmother, Tina, to put on a show. They drugged Thomas, and your sister wanted
to sleep with Thomas to bear his child. She thought Thomas will treat her like how he treated Yannie
and no longer turn her away, thinking she’d become Thomas‘ wife, Mrs. Howard.”

Steven‘s face contorted upon hearing this. He knew it! Denise never had been up to anything good
when she spent time with that old woman from the Howard family! How could she do such a thing?!‘

He clenched his fist tightly and hesitated, “Then, did....they succeed?” Gwen squinted. “If they did, then
we‘d lock up Denise. She‘d be in the police station by now.”

At that moment, Gwen could see Steven felt relieved.

“Regardless.” Gwen paused for a while and continued, “She didn‘t fail entirely. After Thomas got
drugged, he accidentally hurt Senior Howard. Your sister took the opportunity when they sent Senior
Howard to the hospital, tied Thomas’ girlfriend outside the door, then forced Thomas to sleep with her.
Thomas‘ girlfriend heard everything.”



As she talked, she monitored Steven‘s face.

“Your family has quite a modern and open upbringing.”
