“Don‘t you dare!” When she heard this, Luna immediately took out her phone, dialed the emergency
number, and glared at the people around her. “This is against the law! I–”
Before she could even finish, the leader lunged forward and swiped her phone out of her hand.
She brought Luna‘s phone up to her ear and said into the receiver, “Nothing, I misdialed.”
with that, she was about to toss the phone away but, upon noticing how expensive Luna‘s phone
looked, tucked it into her pocket instead. Finally, she shot Luna a triumphant glance and said, “How are
you supposed to call the police now?”
“Don‘t worry.” Gwen immediately turned around and shielded Luna behind her. She lifted her head to
stare at the crowd before her. “I was the one who had said the stuff about Thomas, so if anything, you
should target me instead, but no matter how mad you are, I won‘t change my mind!
“Thomas is just a suspect, and no one has yet found any evidence to convict him of murder. It should
be up to the judiciary system to decide whether he‘s guilty of murder or not, not any of you.
“Besides, even if he truly murdered his father, it‘s not up to either of you to demand him to hand over
his shares!”
The look in her eyes was so cold that the men surrounding them immediately shrunk backward out of
fear.
The crowd fell silent.
Finally, murmurs spread throughout the crowd.
“She‘s right; the police haven‘t even said anything about Thomas Howard‘s capture yet...” “I heard that
Senior Howard was admitted to the hospital after Thomas shot him yesterday, and he passed away at
midnight... Who else could it be if not Thomas?” “But we can‘t possibly protest anything if there‘s no
concrete evidence yet...”
The leader of the party overheard this and immediately flew into a rage. “Do you honestly believe
everything she says? If we don‘t chase Joshua Lynch out and demand Thomas Howard to hand over
his shares, are we supposed to wait until they‘ve evacuated the money and nothing is left?
“Have you forgotten what Mrs. Howard said? She promised us that she‘d split one–third of Howard
Group‘s shares among us if we successfully chased Joshua Lynch out! Do you know just how much
that is? That‘s tens of thousands of dollars! Are you going to give up on that money just because of
what this woman said?”
The people immediately changed their minds upon hearing this.
They surrounded Luna and Gwen again, tugging at their shirts while pointing their cameras at them.
They wanted to get their hands on the money Tina promised.
Gwen narrowed her eyes when she heard this. It turned out that Tina was the one who had sent these
people over. No wonder these people were acting like maniacs–they had been brainwashed by Tina!
Tina must have known that Joshua would never hand over Howard Group‘s shares despite the
people‘s protests. Otherwise, she would not have made such an outrageous promise.
She was using the false promise of money to lure these people into doing her dirty work and preventing
Joshua from investigating Senior Howard‘s death. The truth was, these people would not get anything
out of this at all.
However, they would not think of blaming Tina at all. Instead, they would direct their blame on Joshua.
Tina was a cruel but cunning woman.
All of a sudden, someone grabbed hold of Gwen‘s parka.
Rip–! The sound of a blade slicing through fabric, and the next moment, down feathers poured out of
the jacket.
However, this was not the end. Without her jacket, the people easily caught hold of Gwen‘s shirt, and
as they tugged with all their might, her buttons were about to pop off
“Stop!”
