Denise was furious because of what Kate said. “It‘s not a surprise. People who are friends with that
wretch are wretched themselves!”
She remembered the time she saw Yannie at the ski resort. A woman ran to Yannie and protected her.
Furthermore, she even took out the same fabricated military knife as her brother‘s to threaten her.
Denise furrowed her brow and looked at Kate. “That woman who seduced my brother… Is she the one
who came with Joshua Lynch‘s wife, Luna?”
“That‘s her, alright.” Kate was thrilled that Denise was smart to mention Gwen with her guidance. Even
so, she pretended to look upset. She sighed and looked at Denise with a helpless face like her heart
was broken and nothing could describe her feelings. After a while, she grabbed Denise‘s hand.
“Denise, I‘m sure you‘re aware that woman is very close with Joshua Lynch‘s wife, Luna. They came
together. You know what Joshua Lynch is capable, too. Furthermore, he‘s really close to Thomas now,
and your dream to be Mrs. Howard is now… “We can‘t afford to offend them.”
She wiped off the tears from her eyes and looked at Denise tearily. “Denise, I know you feel bad for
me. You‘ve treated me as a family for the past five years, but this… Just forget about it. Don‘t be
reckless and go find her. Okay?”
Denise felt downcast upon seeing how heartbroken Kate seemed. She did not know the actual story of
how her brother managed to wake up and did not know Gwen was Luke‘s loved one. She only knew
that a friend of Luna and Yannie tried to seduce her brother, and she successfully wooed him, so much
so that her brother wanted to break up with her sister–in–law she had acknowledged since five years
ago.
Her anger spiked. She bit her lip and held Kate‘s hand tightly. “Don‘t worry, Kate. I won‘t let my brother
break up with you. No matter how powerful those people are, how powerful Joshua Lynch is, it isn‘t the
reason for their friend to snatch somebody else‘s boyfriend!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. ‘Who gives these women the nerve to do it?
Does she think none would dare mess with her just because her best friend is Joshua Lynch‘s wife? Is
that reason why she could snatch somebody else‘s boyfriend without thinking about the
consequences?‘ she scoffed internally. Yannie took Thomas from him, and at this moment, another
woman was trying to take away her brother! She had no say in Thomas and could not let him change
his mind. Nonetheless, she was not about to back down and let her brother break up with Kate!
She looked at Kate. “Don‘t worry, Kate. My parents and I will talk some sense into my brother. He has
always been a good kid since he was young. He‘ll listen to us once we talk to him and change his
mind!” Mrs. Hughes looked at her husband when she heard what Denise said. Both of them exchanged
looks with each other.
Mrs. Hughes smiled and looked at Kate. “Denise is right. I think Steven is just blinded by that b*tch.
Eventually, he‘ll realize he made a mistake. Don’t fret; we‘ll never let the both of you break up and
cancel the wedding between the two families.”
Kate wiped her tears away. Her head was lowered so no one saw the smirk on her face. She then said
with a pitiful tone, “Thank you, Mrs. Hughes. However, I don‘t want to force him if he doesn‘t have any
feelings for me anymore. There‘s no need to force him if he won‘t listen to all of you. I‘ll forget all the
effort and time I had invested in him over the last five years. It‘s alright…”
