CHAPTER 2404

Joshua narrowed his eyes and lifted his arm to block Thomas' way.He gave Thomas a once- over, and

a cold sneer crept across his face.

"Did Luna agree to become business partners with you?"

When Luna was on her way to Bamboo House, she had told him that she would not sign the contract if

she sensed that something fishy was going on.

Joshua, too, had realized that the signal from Luna's communication device had been blocked off as

soon as she stepped foot into Thomas' private booth.

This was why he had rushed over to the scene with his bodyguards.He knew that Luna must have

discovered that her signal was blocked, and knowing this, she would never agree to signa contract with

Thomas.

"Of course she did."

Thomas brandished the contract in his hand.

"Everything is written here in black and white.If you have any doubts, feel free to ask your wife,

Mr.Lynch."

Then, he put on his sunglasses and glanced at his assistant, who had been waiting outside the door,

trembling in fright, all this while.

"Let's go."

The assistant quickly approached him and draped a coat over his shoulders.

"Sir, we must rush to the studio where you're scheduled for a magazine shoot.We're already running

late..."

"Okay."

Thomas nodded at Joshua, smiling, then turned to leave.

However, after taking just a few steps, he paused and said, without even looking back, "Joshua Lynch, Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

you and your wife shouldn't be so hostile toward me.I'm not the enemy, after all."

He sneered and continued, "You have no reason to fear me at all— unless the two of you have done

something you shouldn't have."

Then, he turned and walked away.

Joshua furrowed his brows, and a vein popped in his forehead as he stared at Thomas' retreating

figure.Why was this man so secretive?

"Daddy!"

All of a sudden, Nellie sprinted out of the room and towards him with her arms outspread.

Joshua's heart immediately softened at this sight.He knelt, pulled his daughter into his arms, and

kissed her cheek.

"What happened just now? Were you scared?"

Thomas, who at this moment was in the elevator, just so happened to witness this heartwarming scene.

A glimmer of malice flashed through his eyes.

The elevator doors slid closed.

"Sir."

His assistant lowered his head when he noticed the dark expression on Thomas’ face and said

tentatively, "Is everything okay?"

"Of course."

Thomas rolled his eyes and leaned against the elevator wall lazily.

"I remember I sent you to the hospital to retrieve a sample of Riley's DNA and compare it to mine.Have

you done this?"

The assistant nodded and quickly handed him the DNA report he was holding.

"I went to three different DNA Diagnostic Centers, and all of them returned with this result...

"Riley is indeed your child."

Thomas glanced at the report, and another wave of hatred flashed through his eyes.

"The child is a little over two months old now, so this means that her mother is probably that woman I

slept with in Europa last year.

"She gave birth to Riley without my knowledge, and now that the child has gone missing, she must be

looking for her, too.

"Search the entire city for any woman currently searching for a lost daughter.Find her at all costs!"

The assistant fell silent for a moment, then finally sighed.

"Why are you even bothering to find her, Sir?”

"She's just a lowly worker who, by sheer dumb luck, slept with you that night you lost

consciousness.Not only that, but she even gave birth to your child without informing you..."
