Chapter 2583
Yannie felt her head buzzing as she stared at Thomas. How could that have happened? How was that
possible? She bit her lip and picked her phone up like a lunatic.
Sure enough, although the live stream had ended, the screenshots and comments about the live
stream were all over the place. The trending topics on social media were about her, Thomas, and
Wendy.
Everything she was seeing and reading felt like lightning that struck her, so much so that she was
petrified.
She thought that Wendy was only trying to set her up, defaming her for seducing Thomas, which was
why she was not that intimidated or scared for her life. She thought that as long as she went along with
Thomas‘ act, she would be able to expose Wendy for her setup.
Thomas paused for a while. After a while, he raised his eyebrow and looked at Yannie.
“What? Are you trying to investigate me? Have you fallen for me?” Then, he changed into a more
comfortable position, crossing his arms at his chest and leaning against the door. He looked at Yannie
fixedly with his deep gaze and smiled.
“If you promise right now that you‘d be Riley‘s mother, I can tell you how many women I have been
with.” No one knew that during that one fateful night abroad, it was Thomas‘ first time, too–not just for
the woman. Of course, he would not tell Yannie this before she agreed to become Riley‘s mother.
After all, he felt that if Yannie would not want to be his other half, telling her this would only give her
more leverage on him in the future. However, Yannie construed his words differently. She bit her lip
and, staring at the smiling Thomas, finally calmed down a little.
Was he trying to use a question, such as the number of women he has been with, as a bargaining chip
with her? She was only asking because she heard him say that Riley was his daughter. She never
thought that he would say such things. Yannie took a deep breath. She turned around and walked past
him, wanting to leave the bedroom.
“If you don‘t want to tell me, forget about it. I‘m not that interested, anyway.” Then, she left. Thomas
quickly grabbed her arm before she could walk past him. His brow furrowed as he was a little
displeased by her attitude.
“Why are you asking me this then if you‘re not interested?”
“I was just asking.” Yannie shrugged him off. She wanted to continue to head out when Thomas‘ voice
rang out once more, “Aren‘t you going to follow me to the hospital to see Riley?”
Yannie stopped in her tracks.
“I‘ll go see her myself.” All this while, she would visit Riley in the hospital when she had free time. She
liked Riley a lot, even if she was unsure what her feelings were toward Riley. Her child had died three
months ago, and Riley was coincidentally three months old. She often had the illusion that Riley was
her child. However, up until that day, she finally realized that her feelings toward Riley were just
because Riley was one of Thomas‘ children. Perhaps she felt that sense of fondness because Riley
Grl$“f&125;g her dead child had the same father.
“I‘ll advise you to come with me to visit Riley. I‘ll bring reporters along. The news of you and me visiting
Riley will be on the front–page news.” Yannie furrowed her brow upon hearing what Thomas said. “Are
you nuts?” When Thomas told Wendy that he had a child, was that not just to deal with her alone?
At that moment, if he were to visit Riley and bring reporters along, was he trying to tell his fans that he
actually had a child? For a celebrity like Thomas, announcing that he has a child would cost him almost
half of his fans. His career would be affected, too. Yannie thought that Thomas must have gone mad to
make such a decision. Looking at how serious she looked, Thomas could not help but massage his
glabella. “I blame myself for not telling you.
Just now, when Wendy was right in front of us, she had been live streaming the entire thing, whatever
we said and done previously, including…” Thomas measured up Yannie‘s slender figure.
“Including you in your underwear. It was live streamed on the internet.” His words felt like a bomb was
detonated, and Yannie was completely dumbfounded.
However, when she read the discussion on the internet about them, Yannie even wanted to die.
“Now‘s not the time to be sad.”
Seeing through her, Thomas smiled calmly and walked over to her. He reached his arm out and
hugged her shoulders.
“Previously in the live stream, I‘ve stated that Riley is our daughter, so now that everything has been
announced to the public, you should come with me to the hospital to visit Riley so that the reporters can
take some pictures. This is the only proper way to do it.” Yannie bit her lip upon hearing what Thomas
said. She clenched her fists tightly.
She hesitated upon hearing this.
Alas, she had to play along, seeing as Thomas did say those things to help her in the live stream a
moment ago.
She also suddenly understood why Thomas wanted her to wear the clothes he had prepared for Riley‘s
mother and why he wanted her to become Riley‘s mother.
It seemed that he had his own considerations too.
At that thought, Yannie‘s resentment instantly lowered. After a moment, she took a deep breath, walked
over to Thomas, and hugged his arm. “Let‘s go. “I have to address something, though; I hope that we
don‘t put on this act for too long.”
Thomas smiled at her. “No problem.”
Thus, they headed downstairs together.
Hugo, who saw them coming down linking arms, could not help but sigh. “Would‘ve been better if you
two did that from the start. I was so nervous about the live stream just now!”
Then, he turned to look at Thomas. “Wendy had exposed Ay&125;$,c&125;b invaded your privacy. Are you not
going to settle the score with her?”
Thomas smiled. “Someone else is on that for me.”
A black Kayenne slowly came to a halt in front of the police station in Merchant City. The driver opened
the door and respectfully bowed.
“Ms. Fann, please get out of the car.” Wendy was still delighted that she was served by Joshua‘s men.
She just did not expect to be dropped off at the police station instead. Alarm bells went off in her head.
“Isn‘t Joshua inviting me to his house to have a look?” “He changed his mind.” The driver smiled.
“He said that you‘ve invaded other people‘s privacy and even openly exposed it on the internet. Did
you think that you weren‘t breaking the law?”
