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
sign a contract with Thomas.

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, 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 standing 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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe 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...”
