Chapter 2867
Joshua had said it before-they hoped Gwen could pretend to be Steven’s girlfriend to distract Steven’s parents.
Therefore, Gwen was not surprised when Joshua said that.
She pursed her lips and looked at Joshua with a pair of serious eyes. “Do I need to do it now?”
She thought there was time for her to prepare mentally.
“We don’t have much time left.” Joshua looked down at his watch to check the time and said, “It’s going to take
roughly half a day for you and Steven to get ready and ask Steven’s parents out to the restaurant.
“And, since we don’t know the exact location where Denise and Sean are in the residence, we can’t guarantee Sean
has an adequate food supply. Most importantly…”

desperation and sell Denise to someone else.”
Luna frowned as she heard that. “Are you saying…”
“Yes.” Joshua interrupted her indifferently to express affirmation of her assumption. “You should know Steven’s
parents adopted Denise because of themselves. They wanted to lighten the sin they conducted and nearly ruin
Denise’s life.
“All these years, they only treated Denise like their daughter, taking care of her, pampering her, and showering her
with love because they hoped she would marry into a good family in exchange for more power and wealth. Since
Denise is no longer a virgin, they had also lost hope of having her marry Thomas. The scariest part for them is
Denise actually wants to be with a poor man and leave them for him…”
He raised his head and looked at Luna. “What do you think they’d do out of desperation?”
Luna bit her lip and took a step back unconsciously.
The answer was simple; they would do everything they could to maximize Denise’s value to them. If they thought
Denise was a high-end luxury product in the past, the current Denise only had the value of a scrap car that
belonged in the scrap yard.
They would never consider Denise’s feelings or thoughts. Their main purpose was to make sure they could gain
benefits and money from selling Denise.
Luna shivered when she thought of that.
“I’ll contact Steven now.”
Obviously, Gwen had the same thought in her mind. She frowned and took out her phone to call Steven. When the
call was connected, she told him her plan.
Steven stayed silent for a while before answering, “Alright, I’ll go pick you up from the hotel now.”

After that, he hung up the phone.
Gwen put away her phone and sat across from Joshua and Luna. She helped them to organize the messy
documents on the coffee table and asked Joshua about the subsequent planning with a frown.
Originally, she thought it would take Steven at least one hour to reach the hotel from his house. Nonetheless, her
phone rang 20 minutes later. Steven told her he had reached the hotel and was waiting for her downstairs.
Gwen was so stunned that she failed to say anything. After a while, she stuttered to answer.
She stood up and tidied up her stuff while furrowing her brow. “Why is he so fast?”
1/2
The distance from the Hughes family’s residence to the hotel was not short.
Joshua glanced at her and said, “Because he knows sooner or later you’ll need him, so he’s been waiting for you
downstairs. The reason why he only asked you to go down after twenty minutes was because he was afraid you
might feel awkward and thought you’d troubled him.”
