Chapter 2788

“I–I can handle Thomas on my own.” After hesitating for a moment, Yannie decided to reject Luna‘s
offer. “Don‘t worry; I‘ll take care of this. You guys should…take care of whatever you need to.

“I‘m sure that Mr. Lynch will be overwhelmed by work. Not only does he have to look after Howard
Group while Thomas is gone, but he needs to investigate Senior Howard‘s death and find Riley at the
same time. I‘m sure that he could use the help.”

Luna paused when she heard this.

“Alright,” Gwen piped up before Luna could even reply. “I trust that you can take care of things on
Thomas‘ side on your own. Luna and I shall head over to help Joshua now.”

She gave Yannie a finger–crossed gesture and added, “We‘ll await your good news.”

With that, she strode away, dragging Luna behind her.

Even after getting into the car, Luna still turned to glance in Yannie‘s direction with a concerned look.
“Are we leaving just like this? I‘m worried that she‘ll lose it again–”

“She won‘t,” Gwen interrupted her curtly. “She‘s not a child anymore, so how will she change her mind
just like that? Besides, didn‘t you notice that the look in her eyes changed as soon as she decided not
to pout and do something about the situation instead?”

Gwen sighed and turned to stare out the window.“Luna, you‘re such a softie. You were worried about
Aura back in Sea City and constantly treated her like a child, but in reality, Aura not only had a mind of
her own, but she even took matters into her own hands to seduce Joshua behind your back and trick
you.



“It‘s the same for Yannie. She‘s already in her twenties, and she even has a child. You should stop
treating her like a kid. Since she‘s decided she‘ll stop crying and instead help Thomas prove his
innocence, I‘m sure she‘ll stick to it. You shouldn‘t worry about her.” With that, Gwen turned to glance at
Luna. “Where shall we go now?”

Luna paused for a moment, then sighed and replied, “Let‘s go to Howard Group. I‘m sure we can help
Joshua in some way.”

Gwen nodded and ordered the driver to send them to Howard Group.

The driver started the car.

Luna watched in the rearview mirror as Yannie got into a taxi behind them.

Gwen was right; Yannie was a grown–up. She should not have assumed Yannie was still a child that
needed coddling just because she was younger than her. Even Thomas could not guarantee that he
would be able to protect Yannie forever, much less Luna. There were some things that Yannie needed
to learn to face on her own. The car soon arrived at Howard Group Tower. Luna had always expected
things to be a mess when they arrived…but not to this extent.

The entire building seemed to be clouded over by an ominous aura.

A crowd of people dressed in black and white–some were employees, whereas others were investors
of the company–surrounded the building, chanting.

It was only until they got out of the car that Luna and Gwen could hear what these people were saying;
they wanted Joshua to get out of the building and hand over all the company‘s shares because they did
not want a murderer as the CEO.



“These people are insane,” said Gwen, frowning as she covered her ears. “Thomas‘ case is still under
investigation, so how can they conclude that he‘s the murderer? “Besides, even if he did kill Senior
Howard, it still isn‘t up to them to make such ludicrous demands.”

Gwen‘s voice was raised as she said this so that Luna could hear her.

However, as soon as she finished her sentence, a middle–aged woman in front of her turned to stare at
her in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
