Chapter 2780

The sun rose into the sky from the east and woke up the earth. It was a brand new day. Denise woke
up and looked at the ceiling when she opened her eyes. Everything that happened yesterday appeared
right before her eyes like a movie. At that moment, someone knocked on her door.

Along with that came her mother‘s kind, tender votce. “Denise, are you awake? The first time we did
after we woke up was to get you brother to bring you home. He told us you came back last night. How
are you today?”

She had mixed feelings as she listened to her mother‘s soft and gentle voice. She could not help but
remember the recording she heard from Luna and Gwen‘s hotel room.

They literally said to let her die. They said she was no longer useful to the family and that she was a
disposable pawn. They even said they wanted to use her to beg for mercy with Joshua and Thomas
and begged them not to stop the cooperation.

It was at this moment that she felt the dam breaking inside of her. She covered her mouth to stifle her
sobs as tears formed.

Outside the door, her mother was still continuing to talk. Back in the past, she would often feel safe and
happy to hear that voice. However, it became so unfamiliar and so fake.

She bit her lips and closed her eyes. This time, she swore that she would not be soft–hearted and
would show no mercy. She wanted to seek justice for herself and do one last thing for her brother–the
right thing! “Denise?” Since there was no response from the room, Mrs. Hughes mumbled, “She hasn‘t
woken up? That can‘t be… Her biological clock has always been very routine since she was a child.”



As she mumbled to herself, Mrs. Hughes left the place. When she was sure her mother had left, she
pulled the blanket over her body and wept quietly.

For the 20 years living in the family, she had always thought she was the real young miss of the family
and she was proud of her identity. She always bragged to the others that she had a kind and
understanding mother, an upright father, and a gentle brother. All of them treated her like a princess
and loved her.

This ended yesterday. After the recording, she finally knew the only person who treated her as a family
was Steven. The others only thought of her as a pawn.

Suddenly, her laptop beeped. The turn–on sound stopped Denise from crying. She opened up the
blanket and looked at her monitor with amazement.

The laptop got turned on when no one else even touched it.

Not only was it turned on, but the mouse cursor was also moving. She got scared and nearly shrieked
out of fear.

After a while, she managed to calm down. She climbed on her bed toward the laptop.

Suddenly, a chatting application was opened and logged in to an account. Subsequently, a chat room
opened up.

Someone by the name of ‘Nigel‘ was messaging her.

[Nigel: Don‘t worry. I‘m not a bad person.]

[Nigel: Your phone is not with you, so this is the only way I can reach you.]

[Nigel: Let me introduce myself. I‘m the eldest son of Joshua Lynch and Luna, and my name is Nigel.]



Denise looked at the message in bewilderment. She walked over there carefully and replied to Nigel.

[Denise: You…]

[Denise: What do you want?]
