Chapter 2832

The room was dead silent. Yannie looked to the side. She wanted to say how cruel it was, but her heart refused to when she remembered all the terrible things Denise did to her. Yes, Thomas had gone overboard with this 'punishment', but…Yannie did not sympathize with Denise. Sean furrowed his brow. "What a cruel person you are, Mr. Howard." Thomas laughed. "So-so. Maybe you'll understand my decision after you experience what I've gone through in the future." After that, he looked at Denise coldly. "Do you think I'm cruel?" Denise did not answer the question immediately. It was a minute later when she shook her head. "I don't think so." She stood up and lowered her head to look at the time. "Tonight. Ten men, right? I'll take photos to prove it." She turned around and left. Sean furrowed his brow and gave Thomas a final glare before he hurriedly left to catch up with Denise. "Hey, don't do it!" Sean and Denise's footsteps grew distant not long after. Over in the opposite room, the lady Denise found to care for Riley shivered in fear after hearing what Thomas said. Eventually, she passed Riley over to Luna and fled for her life. Although she never did anything that she should not do, she was Denise's follower for a long time. If Thomas decided to look deeper, he would surely find she was involved in bullying Yannie before. Luna sighed when she looked at Denise's friend leaving, but she carried Riley back into the room where the others were. "Riley!" Yannie was over the moon to see Luna carrying Riley into the room. She strode over to Luna and carried the little girl into her arms. "Thank goodness you're alright!" Luna was touched to see how excited and thrilled Yannie was. It had been hard for Riley. She was taken away by the Quinn family under Malcolm's order when she was born into the world. During that time, she had it rough under Heather and Malcolm's care before she and Joshua finally took her under their wing. It took a long time, and many hardships before she was finally reunited with her parents, Thomas and Yannie. Riley's life was rough, but she was just as tough. Luna could not help but wonder…if her daughter, the one who was born on the same day as Riley had such good luck, too. If her daughter could reunite with them safely after going through so many bad things… Thomas finally let go of his frown as he looked at Yannie carrying Riley in her arms. He said in a low voice to Luna and Joshua, "Thank you. Without you two, maybe we won't have Riley back with us." "You should be grateful to those two who walked away angrily." Joshua curled up his lips while taking a sip of his drink. "Luna and I have done nothing to help rescue Riley." Thomas' eyes shrunk the moment he heard it. After a while, he looked in the direction where Denise and Sean left. "I was just saying that to know how Denise would respond." He thought she would reject him. It never occurred to him that she would accept her penalty so easily, not even giving him the chance to forgive her. He lowered his head to take a sip of his drink. "Oh, well. Since she has no home to go back to anymore and is sincere with her apology, I won't trouble her anymore even if she doesn't complete what I asked." He extended his hand out to play with Riley. "Think of it as doing a good deed. For Riley."
