Chapter 2662
Joshua‘s hand stiffened at the mention of Steven. He was silent for a moment before finally asking,
“Gwen… Have you all met Kate‘s boyfriend yet?”
“No, not yet. Why?”
“Nothing.” Joshua rubbed his glabella in frustration. “I couldn‘t help noticing that Kate‘s new boyfriend
looks a lot like Luke, so I don‘t think you should let Gwen see him.”
Luna nodded, “You‘re right. Don‘t worry; I‘ll try my best to protect Gwen.”
Even though she had yet to meet Kate‘s new boyfriend in real life, she had seen photos of him and
Kate together on the internet. Therefore, even before Joshua brought it up, she already knew that this
man looked eerily similar to Luke.
At this point, Gwen would go insane at any mention of Luke at all, so if Kate‘s boyfriend were indeed so
similar to Luke, she would have to stop Gwen from seeing him in person at any cost.
“We’ll talk about this more when we meet,” Joshua said before frowning and hanging up.
“What‘s wrong?” Thomas asked, seeing how troubled Joshua looked. “We have to split up.” Joshua
glanced at him before adding, “You go retrieve the new pendant while Lucas will bring some of the men
over to the dump station.” “What about you?”
Joshua paused for a moment. “I‘ll go talk to Kate.”
Thomas was a little puzzled by this. “Does this have something to do with Kate?” “I sincerely hope not.”
Joshua lifted his head to stare coldly in the direction in front of him.” Otherwise, I‘ll never let her off the
hook that easily again.”
He was doing this not only for Gwen but also for Luke.
Thomas could sense the hostility in Joshua‘s demeanor. He pursed his lips slightly, seemingly wanting
to say something, but in the end chose to keep his silence.
By the time Thomas arrived at the dump station with the newly minted pendant, Lucas and his men had
already cleared out two gigantic piles of garbage.
Gwen sat in a corner, her skin flushed red due to the cold. Despite that, she was huddled in a parka,
her gaze fixated on the garbage pile like a hawk.
It was as though, in her mind, staring intently at the garbage pile would prevent her from missing out on
the pendant should it appear. Luna and Yannie stood by her side, clutching her dirty hands in comfort.
Thomas could feel his chest tighten at this sight. What was so good about Luke that made a woman
like Gwen go crazy for hirn?
“Mr. Howard.” Yannie was the first to notice Thomas climbing out of the car. She trotted toward him
and, under the pretense of striking up a conversation with him, secretly reached
out her hand toward him. Thomas quickly dropped the metal plate into her open palm and asked,
frowning, “Do you honestly think this‘ll work?”
Joshua was right. If Gwen truly treasured this metal plate more than anything, she would be more than
familiar with every single scratch and defect on it. She would immediately notice that this one was a
fake.
“It‘s worth a try.” Yannie bit her lip and instinctively glanced in Gwen‘s direction.
Gwen was still staring intently at the garbage pile. When Lucas and his men arrived, Luna and Yannie
had to pry Gwen away from the garbage pile in order to make her give up on her quest. Since Thomas
had successfully forged a new one, she had to try. What if it turned out that the pendant Gwen had lost
was nothing but an ordinary metal plate without any scratches or marks? At the thought of this, Yannie
grinned at Thomas and said, “Well, for what it‘s worth, thank you for helping!”
