Even Steven was surprised by how agile and strong he suddenly became. He did not feel like himself
anymore.
He had never been an advocate of violence before, but for some reason, he could not help feeling
pleasure while in combat.
He was surprisingly enjoying this feeling The thought of being able to protect Gwen, and the thought of
these people bullying Gwen... Every punch of his landed at the right spot, and he easily tackled every
person that came his way.
After he had tackled the burly men in front, neither of the protestors dared to approach him, not even a
single step. Even the leader of the group seemed surprised by this. Who would have thought this
gentle, scholarly–looking man would turn out to be such a good fighter? “Steven.” Gwen lunged forward
to grab hold of his arm. “Are you okay?” “I‘m okay.” Steven turned around and gently pinched Gwen‘s
nose.
The blood in her body ran cold, and her muscles immediately grew taut.
This was what Luke used to do to her every time.
Gwen lifted her head to stare at the man before her, unsure whether she was looking at Luke or
Steven.
“What‘s wrong?” Steven curled his lips into a smile when he saw Gwen staring at him, then reached out
to pinch her nose playfully once more. Finally, he turned to stare coldly at the people before him. “If you
guys have anything against Joshua, you should take matters up tead of bullying innocent women like
this.”
With that, he grabbed hold of Gwen‘s arm and turned to glance at Luna. “Come on.”
Luna was so shocked that she could not utter a single word.
The way he had threatened the people...
Was this not Luke?
“Luna,” Gwen‘s voice rang out.
Luna immediately broke out of her stupor and chased after them.
This time, with Steven escorting them, no one dared to touch Luna and Gwen again.
The three of them entered the lobby. Lucas, who had been waiting at the entrance, let out a sigh of
relief when he saw them. He patted his chest and said, “Ma‘am, Ms. Larson, thank god you‘ve finally
come. Sir was just about to brave the crowd to save you. Thankfully, I managed to stop him before he
could do so.
Then he circled Luna, giving her a once–over, and sighed in relief after making sure she was
unscathed. “Thank God.”
Luna knew that Lucas was worried about her safety because of Joshua. She curled her lips into a smile
and said, “Don‘t worry, I‘m fine, but...”
She glanced in the direction of the elevator. “How‘s Joshua doing now? And what about Howard
Group...” “Don‘t bring that up.” Lucas sighed. “Now that Thomas has been arrested as a murder
suspect, and Senior Howard didn‘t set up a will in time before his death... Tina and Dan are at work
trying to convince the investors to split Thomas‘ shares while taking Senior Howard‘s inheritance for
themselves.”
Lucas appeared visibly outraged when he said this. “The reason we followed Mr. Thomas here to
Saigen City was to help him take back what was rightfully his, but none of us saw this coming. Senior
Howard‘s death has set everything back to square one!”
