It was just a simple question, yet Samuel‘s expression changed instantly. He looked at Joshua quietly and nodded his head.
Joshua isn‘t a man devout to God, yet he asked me if he could pray at the statue the moment he came.’
In truth, Samuel knew Joshua‘s true intention. He looked at the tall, strong man walking slowly toward the statue, and he felt his heart softening when Joshua was about two meters away.
“Joshua,” Samuel called out to Joshua. “You can pray later. I have something to talk to you about.”
He took a deep breath and looked at Joshua. “It‘s about...giving all of the Quinn family‘s valuables to you.”
The living room plunged into an eerie silence with those two simple sentences. Luna thought she heard it wrongly, while Joshua furrowed his brow. Even Malcolm, who was hiding behind the statue, paled in shock.
“You‘re giving me all of the Quinns‘ resources?” Joshua was the first one to react. His eyebrows knitted together as he looked at Samuel. “Uncle Samuel, did you make a mistake?” Never had Joshua thought of acquiring the Quinns‘ resources nor asking Samuel to give them to him.
“No. I know what I‘m talking about.” Samuel took a deep breath. He weakly stood up and walked to stand in front of Joshua, patting his shoulder. “You know...there‘s actually no one left in this family anymore. My mother is still unconscious, and though she‘s still alive, there‘s not much time left for her. Hunter is in prison now and would only finish his sentence twenty more years from now. Malcolm has been exiled and is disallowed to come back here.” !
At this point, he could not help but look at the statue and sighed heavily. “I‘m the one taking charge of this family now, but you know I‘ve been a priest for more than twenty years and devoted my life to God. I‘m not capable of doing business nor do I have the intention to, so it‘s better to give everything to you instead of letting it wane in my hand. Besides...”
He kept quiet for a while and decided to speak the truth. “Most of the wealth was gained for creating the feud and misunderstanding between the Landry family and the Lynch family. You and Luna are coincidentally from the Landry family and the Lynch family...”
After another deep breath, he smiled at Joshua and Luna. “So, giving all of the Quinn family‘s resources to both of you is the best approach.” After that, he took out his phone and called the butler who was waiting outside, instructing him to fetch the Quinn Group‘s secretary and lawyer.
“Please wait for a while,” Samuel requested.
Once the secretary and lawyer listened to Samuel‘s wishes, albeit being shocked, they still processed with a professional attitude. “Mr. Quinn, we need time to draft the contract for the transfer of wealth. It can be done tomorrow...”
“No, not tomorrow.” Samuel squinted in the direction of the statue meaningfully. “Draft it here and now,” he instructed firmly. “I want to sign the agreement with Mr. Lynch now.

Luna was shocked by the sudden turn of events. She subconsciously turned to look at Joshua and then at Samuel, feeling that this was a fever dream. ‘But...we‘re here to ask about Malcolm.‘
Joshua said that Samuel had ordered a few people to monitor Malcolm at all times. If they wanted to know if the person with Thomas was Malcolm, it would be the easiest to ask Samuel.
Originally, they wanted to send Lucas to ask a few questions in their stead while they visited Sean and Kate in the hospital. However, Joshua felt that it was better for them to come personally, hence their
arrival.
All Luna thought of was asking questions. Who would have known that Joshua, who had never been one to pray, actually volunteered to pray at the statue? More shockingly, the priest himself stopped Joshua from praying and said he wanted to give all of the Quinn family‘s valuables to Joshua.
Was Samuel crazy, or was Joshua? Was she the crazy one instead? Why could not she understand anything that was happening before her eyes?
“You don‘t have to understand.” Joshua saw the confusion in Luna‘s eyes. He narrowed his eyes and whispered into her ear, his voice husky, “Just take a seat and drink some coffee. Once you see the shadow behind the statue in the glass window, you’ll understand everything.”
Luna glanced at her husband warily yet did what she was told. She sat on the couch and took a sip of the coffee. While she was drinking, she looked in the direction to see the reflection of the statue from the glass window. She nearly choked herself with the coffee in her mouth.
She saw it! The shadow of a man was reflected on the glass window behind the statue!
Although the reflection was quite blurry that she could not tell the face of the man, it was clear that the man was wearing a blue with white–striped worker uniform. The uniform was the same as the one she saw in the photo Anne posted on her social media account.
That man who looked like Malcolm wore the exact uniform!
A man wearing the same uniform Malcolm did was in the Quinn mansion, hiding behind the statue that Samuel treasured tremendously.
Luna instantly knew who it was.
Her fist tightened as it all clicked for her. From the moment Joshua entered the door, he had guessed that Malcolm was here in the mansion. He had guessed that Malcolm was hiding behind the statue, so he said he wanted to pray.
Samuel knew Joshua wanted to search for Malcolm, and to protect Malcolm, he stopped Joshua and even mentioned giving Joshua all of the Quinn family‘s valuables.
Luna bit her lip and looked at Samuel once again. ‘Is he going to use all of the wealth of the family in exchange for Joshua to let go of Malcolm once again?!
There was no better reason than this, Luna thought to herself.
She took a deep breath and stood up, standing next to Joshua. Then, she grabbed his hand silently while lowering her voice to speak in a volume only both of them could hear, “Are you going to accept the Quinn family‘s wealth?”
Luna did not understand why Joshua would agree with Samuel. Even though the Quinn family had a massive net worth, Joshua and the Landry family were not short of any money.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2413 by desirenovel
In comparison, it was better to apprehend Malcolm than to accept Samuel’s gifting. Malcolm was an unstable variant to them. He could use Riley or use the information he had about them to cause trouble anytime, anywhere.
For example, Thomas Howard. He could only have understood so much about her and Joshua from Malcolm. Malcolm must have played an important part to incite Thomas.
“I‘ll explain it to you later. It takes more than one or two sentences to sum it up,” murmured Joshua under his breath before he took out his phone and called Lucas. He said he was not feeling well and wanted Lucas to bring over some medicine for him.
Looking at how Joshua was talking on the phone with his back against her, Luna pursed her lips silently. This man had been acting very mysteriously ever since he stepped foot in the mansion. She looked at his angular face, wanting to say something, but she was cut off by the lawyer who was a considerable distance from her.
“Mr. Quinn, are you sure you want to transfer all of your wealth and possession to Mr. Lynch? You should know it includes this mansion that you are living in now. If you transfer everything to him, you‘ll have to find a new place to stay...” the lawyer said.”
With eyes closed, Samuel sat on the couch with his legs crossed, all while he gently thumbed the cross necklace on his neck. “I‘ve already found a new place to stay. Don‘t worry; give everything to him.”
At that very second, Luna clearly heard an audible gasp from behind the statue and squinted at the sound. ‘Looks like Malcolm doesn‘t agree with Samuel‘s decision. Other than troubling Joshua and me, he must‘ve returned to regain control over the family to be the head of the family! I bet he didn‘t expect to hear his father wanting to give all of Quinn‘s family assets to Joshua on the first day he came back to Merchant City in this living room.’
Regardless, Luna was impressed with Malcolm. She knew how much Malcolm cared about his family‘s net worth and how much he wanted to be the head of the Quinn family. In a situation to choose between exposing his location and looking at his father giving away everything the Quinns had, he chose the latter decision.
Malcolm wanted to stay in Merchant City, but to see the family‘s valuables given for free right in front of him... This had to hurt him more than killing him, Luna guessed.
Since Samuel was persistent with his decision, the secretary and lawyer of the Quinn group looked at each other. Sighing together, they drafted the contract, which took nearly an hour.
In the meantime, Lucas came to the mansion to send Joshua his medicine. Within this dreadful one hour, Luna constantly looked in the direction of the statue unconsciously. Other than the gasp that Malcolm accidentally let out, there was no other sound. She even thought that Malcolm might have fainted because of fury.
“Here you go, Mr. Lynch.” When the secretary and lawyer finished drafting the contract, Samuel opened his eyes. He passed the contract to Joshua with a smile. “If there‘s no discrepancy, you can sign it.”
After that, he smiled bitterly. “To be honest with you, I feel relieved and at ease to pass Quinn Group to you.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2414 by desirenovel
Luna could imagine the twisted look on Malcolm‘s face when he heard what Samuel said. She nearly burst out laughing at the image.
Soon, Samuel and Joshua started with the procedure. To retain the evidence, Samuel allowed Luna, the secretary, and the lawyer to record the process from the side.
When everything was done, Joshua passed the medicine Lucas had brought to Samuel with the document Samuel had authorized. “I noticed how unwell you looked when he first walked in. This is the medicine I had my assistant take from my mother–in–law. It‘s good for your health.”
Samuel, though momentarily stunned at this, accepted the medicine from Joshua and grabbed it tightly.” Thank you.”
“I should be the one thanking you.” Joshua looked at Samuel again before turning to grab Luna‘s hand.” It‘s getting late. We don‘t want to disturb you anymore.
“Let‘s go,” he said to Luna.
Luna bit her lip when she felt Joshua‘s large, warm hand holding hers. She subconsciously looked in the statue‘s direction again. “Are we...going to leave just like that?”
Joshua smiled and pulled her to his form. “Why? Are you going to ask Mr. Samuel to move out instantly?”
Samuel, who was at the side, laughed. “This mansion belongs to you now. If you want me to leave now, I can do that, too.”
Luna bit her lip. There was so much that she wanted to say, but once she looked at Samuel‘s carefree expression, she did not know what to say.
She took a deep breath and looked at Samuel for the last time. “Well, then... Please take good care of yourself, Uncle Samuel.”
Malcolm was just hiding behind the statue. He must be feeling furious to see Samuel transferring everything in the Quinn family to Joshua. Since she and Joshua were here, Malcolm did not dare do anything because he was afraid of showing himself to them. What would happen when they left?
Lune was terrified of whatever he could do to Samuel. However...she hesitated when she saw the smile on Samuel‘s face. It was like there was no more reason for her and Joshua to stay here anymore. Samuel had given Joshua everything in exchange for letting Malcolm go.
“I‘ll do just that.” Samuel smiled and waved at Luna when he heard her words.
“Let’s go.” Luna sighed and finally left the Quinn Mansion with Joshua.
Once they were out of the mansion, they got in the car immediately.
“Don‘t worry. Nothing will happen to him.”
Joshua leaned back on the seat tiredly while closing his eyes after the car door was closed. He languidly sat in the backseat. “I have left my people in the mansion. He‘ll be fine.”
Luna pursed her lips and immediately changed her posture. She looked at Joshua, who pretended to be Sleeping, seriously. “Why did you agree to Father Samuel‘s request? We don‘t need the money from Quinn Group! But Malcolm...”
“You think that it was unnecessary for me to accept Quinn Group and that I should just capture Malcolm, right?” said Joshua.
Luna nodded vehemently. That was exactly what she thought. Joshua should not have accepted Quinn Group from Samuel and should not choose to let go of Malcolm. If they did not apprehend Malcolm today, who knew if they could do so in the future?
Moreover, Malcolm always wanted to be in control of the Quinn family, and since Samuel gave everything to Joshua...that would just worsen the hatred Malcolm had for Samuel and Joshua! How was that not the same as making an enemy for himself? Luna did not understand it at all!
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2415 by desirenovel
Looking at how puzzled Luna was, Joshua closed his eyes and changed to a more comfortable posture to rest on the leather seat. "First of all, me agreeing to sign the contract with Uncle Samuel doesn't mean that I'll let Malcolm go. I have men stationed inside and outside of the mansion. Once Malcolm leaves the mansion, my people will capture him. Secondly, do you really think that Samuel was trying to help Malcolm by giving the Quinn family to me? You're wrong."
Luna was baffled at this. She furrowed her brow to look at Joshua while more questions popped out. " Why not?"
Samuel only stopped Joshua and told him his intention when Joshua wanted to get near to the statue. Was not that for Malcolm?
"He did want me to let go of Malcolm, but that's not the real reason." Joshua curled his lips. "Think about it: why would Malcolm rather give out his identity as the eldest young master of the Quinn family and be willing to work for Thomas?"
Luna paused. "He wants to come back to Merchant city to finish what he started: attacking you and me... and to regain control over the Quinn family?" That was all she could think of.
"Yes." Joshua curled up his lips. "Malcolm wants to attack you, me, and Uncle Samuel. Since Uncle Samuel transferred all of the Quinn family's assets to me, he's now without anything. Do you think Malcolm will continue troubling him?"
Luna was speechless. She had never thought of all this before. All this time, she thought Samuel went soft again, that he did not want Joshua taking Malcolm away and wanted to protect her son with the Quinn family's resources.
It never occurred to Luna that Samuel was afraid of the trouble. He was afraid that Malcolm would keep troubling him and would rather give Joshua everything to cut ties with Malcolm. This explained why Samuel insisted for the secretary and lawyer draft the contract today.
He wanted to let Malcolm witness it himself.
Luna's head buzzed with the revelation. "So...Uncle Malcolm has given up on his son now?"
"Something like that." Joshua smiled bitterly. "He is a person with a clear mind, E=ApNóXX he knows what is the consequence after Malcolm comes back this time, so he chose to give up everything to cut ties with Malcolm. The medicine box I gave him had an air ticket and a check inside, apart from the necessary medicine. It's enough for him to leave Merchant City to any place that he wants."
Luna nodded. "He has nothing left anymore... It's better to leave this city."
Back in Quinn Mansion.
The stench of blood permeated the air.
Malcolm had a knife at hand as he pushed Samuel down against the cough. "You old man! You did it on purpose, didn't you? How dare you give away the Quinn family to another person right in front of me? Do you know that I'm going to kill you now?!"
Samuel smiled and threw the medicine box Joshua gave him into the rubbish bin. He looked at Malcolm indifferently. "Kill me, then."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2416 by desirenovel
"Do you think I won't dare kill you, you old man?!" Malcolm pressed the knife against Samuel's neck, and the tip of the knife stabbed into Samuel's neck while blood oozed out from the wound.
However, Samuel did not feel anything, even though his neck was injured by the knife. He leaned back on the couch and looked at Malcolm with a smile. There was, however, a glint of disdain in his eyes as he sneered, "I never thought that you won't dare kill me. On the contrary, I '11 die in peace if I die by your hands. II
In his entire life, he had never done anything sinful. Even as a member of the notorious Quinn family, he could bravely and frankly say that he did not commit any sin. That was why he dared to become a priest; to help others overcome their sins as others referred to him as Father Samuel.
However, was that truly so? Had he never committed any sins? In fact, he did.
A year back when he was drunk, he had missed Lucy so badly that he treated Malcolm's mother as Lucy and bedded her. This was the most sinful thing Samuel had ever done.
He had been brooding about this incident ever since, thinking he could never compensate for the sin he committed. However, he forgot that he had a son, Malcolm.
If Malcolm was the one who killed him, it would be the best place for him to be in this life, right?
"You pathetic old man!" Malcolm gritted his teeth as his eyes burned with hatred, glaring daggers at
Samuel's face. "Do you think I'll go soft on you? All these years, you didn't even care for me—not even a day!
"I don't give two shits about you. If I want to kill you, I'll kill you!"
Samuel sneered and opened his eyes to look at Malcolm, his smirk laced with mockery. "Just kill me already, Malcolm Quinn, why must you run your mouth so uncouthly, still?"
He looked at Malcolm's hand, and the smile on his face grew bigger. "Why are your hands shaking? You want to be a bad guy, yet scared of killing your father?
II
"Do you think you deserve to be my father, Samuel Quinn?" Malcolm's hands trembled as he tightened his grip on the knife, hearing Samuel's taunts.
"Die!"
He raised the hA=—0I8PS with the knife and brought it down toward Samuel's neck—
Samuel closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
'Can I...finally be free? Is it time for me to go see Lucy and reunite with her?'
His lips slowly morphed into a smile as he loosened his muscles, prepared to finally breathe his last.
However...the pain he had anticipated did not come, even after seconds had passed. He furrowed his brow and opened his eyes.
Two men dressed in black he did not recognize restrained Malcolm on the floor. Meanwhile, a handsome man sat on the couch far away. The man was wearing a black suit with straight pants, revealing his ankles.
He lazily leaned back on the couch and looked at Samuel indifferently. He sneered, "As a priest, should you truly allow your son to murder you? Father Samuel, you should know that if Malcolm killed you back there, he will no longer be respected or treated equally in Merchant city or anywhere else."
Murdering his father would be a crime that could destroy Malcolm's life forever.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2417 by desirenovel
Samuel furrowed his brow and looked at the man before him with ice-cold eyes, "who are you?"
"Mr. Quinn, do you not recognize me?" Thomas felt like this was the best joke he heard so far. "My name is all over Merchant City today. How come you still don't know me? Maybe I didn’t work hard enough."
Samuel's eyebrows knitted together, "who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself." Thomas stood up and walked to stand in front of Samuel, lightly grabbing Samuel's hand. "My name is Thomas Howard—your son, Malcolm's future boss. He must've mentioned me to you."
Samuel was silent for a while before realizing what he meant.
This man, who did not look well over 30 years old, had to be the man Malcolm told him about. He was the one who gave Malcolm a new name, the one who gave him a new place to stay, and the one who sustained him to live.
Samuel squinted."You're just an actor, what makes you think you can go up against Joshua and Jim?"
Joshua was the newest and most talented young man in Merchant City for the last two years, while Jim was the son of the wealthiest family in Merchant City.
Thomas must have been very proud of himself to even initiate a war with Joshua and Jim.
"Although I'm an actor, it doesn't mean I'm one to be toppled over easily," remarked Thomas.
Joshua and Jim had put his two-month-old daughter through hell, and to that, he must do something in return.
Thomas looked at Malcolm, who was pressed against the floor by the two men in black. The corners of his mouth flashed with the taste of blood.
"I remember telling you that you shouldn't do anything you shouldn't do when you left Merchant City after seeking help from me. I also emphasized that you shouldn't wake a sleeping wolf. I don't care what relationship you had with these people in the past or future; to me, you're not related to this Quinn family. So..."
He smirked."It was bad-mannered and rude of you to come straight to the Quinn mansion after returning to Merchant city; you've tarnished my reputation.
"Don't forget you're now called Lucifer Howard—just my driver."
With that, the two muscular men each stepped on Malcolm's hF?_wL8XP, exerting full force, causing Malcolm to cry out in pain, his whimpers echoing throughout the mansion, when he finished shouting, he was in so much pain that he had cold sweats and a pale face.
Thomas glanced at him and waved his hand lightly, signaling the two men to take Malcolm away.
When Malcolm and the two muscular men were out of sight, Thomas shifted his attention back to Samuel, who was still in shock.
"Father Samuel, we meet again," said Thomas.
Samuel furrowed his brows slightly. "Have we met before?"
"Yes, of course." Thomas smiled. "A year ago, someone entrusted you to help out in a small town in Europa. That night, I was poisoned and needed a woman to help... You were the one who helped me. Do you remember?"
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2418 by desirenovel
Samuel lifted his head and looked at the man before him with a stupefied expression. After a while, he nodded vehemently. "I remember."
Perhaps he did not remember Thomas, but he could not forget the incident that happened on that particular night one year ago.
At that time, he was helping out a friend whom he had just known not long ago to replace his service at the outskirt village church, one that his friend used to take care of after his friend passed away not long ago. Coincidentally, a production team was filming a movie near the village.
That night, Samuel had just finished his work for the day, and Thomas' production team sent Thomas to the church. The leader of the villager said Thomas got bitten by a very poisonous snake, and he needed a woman to help him to treat the poison.
Samuel took a look at Thomas and instantly exposed the lie the leader told them. Thomas did not look like he was bitten by a poisonous snake but was more likely drugged! A person in the production team wanted to use the drug to force Thomas to give in to her, wanting to force Thomas to be with her!
The production team stayed silent after hearing the assumption from Samuel. After that, all of the women in the production team, including actresses and backstage staff, denied being responsible for drugging Thomas. These women who would fawn over Thomas any other day refused to help Thomas. According to them, if a person volunteered to help, it might indirectly mean that she was the one who drugged Thomas.
Thus, they kept on fighting until Thomas' situation got worse. Eventually, Thomas1 assistant kneeled and begged Samuel to think of a solution.
However, just as Samuel decided to use his less- professional medical skill to help suppress Thomas' condition, he heard a woman's voice coming from Thomas' room.
It was a girl who had followed Samuel to the village to pay respects to his friend.
The girl's mother was one of the devotees who used to go to the church where Samuel was servicing, and she had a close relationship with Thomas' friend. However, the girl's mother suffered from severe illness G:[jl2YU was unable to be there personally. Thus, Samuel brought the girl with him.
He never thought that the girL.would stumble into Thomas' room and unknowingly be ensnared by the drugged-up Thomas into sex.
At that moment, Samuel's face burned as he turned pink in the face. He heard the voices of the two young people and did not bear to open the door.
After that, the girl ran out of the room with tears on her face. Thomas' assistant wanted to give her some money but did not even manage to chase her. In the end, he gave the money to Samuel, hoping that Samuel could help them.
The days passed after that night, and Samuel was overridden with guilt.
He thought that he failed to protect the girl, and that was what caused the accident to happen. He had searched for that girl as much as he could, and eventually, the girl went back to look for Samuel, and she was pregnant.
Samuel sighed, thinking back at it. It was a deep scar in his heart that he could not forget. All he wanted to do was to bring the girl to pay her last respect to an old friend on her mother's behalf. It was never his intention to let that incident happen.
After that, he felt like he was very sorry and did not dare to face his old friend. Thus, he did not keep in contact with the girl and her mother.
Time has passed since then...
He raised his head and looked at Thomas solemnly as he recalled the memory. "So it was you."
"Yes, it was me." Thomas changed to a more comfortable posture to sit on the couch. His eyes focused on Samuel. "It'll save me a lot of trouble since you remember everything."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2419 by desirenovel
"I heard from my assistant and the people from the production team that you were the one who helped me find a girl that night. I presume that you know that girl, right?"
Thomas placed his hand on the armrest and supported his chin with one hand, looking at Samuel elegantly. "I want to find that girl now. Do you have any clue where she is?"
Samuel squinted. "First of all, that night was purely an accident; I have no idea what happened between both of you. Also, I wasn't the one who found her for you. Secondly..."
He took a deep breath, and his eyes gleamed coldly. " Everything that happened between you and her was a mistake and an accident. I don't know that girl, and I don't have her contact details. Mr. Howard, you've looked for the wrong person."
"Is that so?" Obviously, Samuel's answer was not what Thomas was looking for. He curled up his lip into a smile. "Father Samuel, do you think that just because I'm an actor, you don't have to tell me the truth? There was nothing I could do about it?"
He yawned lazily. "Father Samuel, please don't forget that your son, Malcolm, was taken away by my man under the watch of your people. It was also I who brought him back to Merchant City despite being heavily guarded by your people. Your men are no match for me, and neither are you."
He then stood up, his tall, straight body towering over Samuel, and his expression was ruthless. "I won't force you if you won't tell me, but once I find that girl on my own...I won't have any mercy."
Finally, he sneered and turned to leave.
Samuel sat on the couch as he watched Thomas walking away through narrowed eyes. Although he did not want to admit it, this man who called himself an actor had encompassed a strong vibe that suffocated him. 'This man is not just an actor, that's for sure.' 1
He took a deep breath while narrowing his eyes. "Mr. Howard, I have a question for you."
"You didn't answer my question, so you have no right to ask me any," sneered Thomas without looking back, though he stopped walking. "Unless you're willing to tell me where the girl is or any information regarding her, I won't be answering anything."
Samuel squinted D<]rl3VP sighed heavily. "I'll tell you whatever I know about her.
"Mr. Howard, my question is... why does it only occur to you to come to look for her now since it has been more than a year?"
Thomas could not help but laugh at Samuel's question. "All thanks to your son, Malcolm. If he didn't tell me that woman had given birth to my child and showed me the DNA paternity test between that kid and me... I wouldn't have remembered such an incident had happened last year."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2420 by desirenovel
Samuel's eyes widened instantly at Thomas1 answer. He knew that Yannie did give birth to Thomas' child at a hospital, but...he thought the child had died soon after.
Yannie's mother, Mrs. Flores had captured the moment Yannie wailed while cradling the infant in the hospital and posted it to her social media account. Samuel also remembered the caption Yannie's mother wrote.
[The child knew that he didn't belong in this world and left quietly.]
Under the comment section of that post, Yannie's mother even replied to her friend's comment by saying the child who passed away was a boy.
Samuel recalled how guilt-ridden he was when he first heard the news. He even took the time to pray for the child that died right after leaving his mother's womb.
'But why does it sound like the child had survived, according to what Thomas had said? How is that possible?' Samuel took a deep breath while thinking. He assumed that Malcolm must have lied to Thomas and explained nicely to him, "Mr. Howard, I'm sure you know it's easy to fake a DNA paternity test. Don't be fooled by Malcolm. He actually—"
"Fooled?" Thomas sneered. "I, too, thought he had falsified it. But..." He narrowed his eyes and slapped the latest DNA paternity test his assistant gave him onto Samuel's face. "My assistant went to do this paternity test today. It's still hot. Is Father Samuel going to say this is a fake report, too?"
He rolled his eyes and smiled. "So, a priest is capable of lying, too. You said you have no contact with that girl, but do you hear what you said? You knew the girl gave birth to my child, right?"
He looked at Samuel sharply, and it scared Samuel from making eye contact with him. "I...I don't," he coughed lightly.
Thomas sneered and stood up, looking down at the man from a condescending angle. "I've answered your question, what's the information you have about that girl?" 1
Samuel took another deep breath and lifted his head to make eye contact with Thomas, "what I wanted to tell you is...that it was an accident between you c< yjixu her a year ago. She thought there was a patient who needed treatment in the room, so she took some warm water and a towel into the room, purely wanting to help out. she didn't know it was you in the room who needed a girl to help neutralize the drug. That is why...you both slept together."
Thomas' hate and disdain were palpable when he mentioned the girl, so he had to explain everything on Yannie's behalf.
Yannie did not know the situation in the room back then. If she did, she would have never entered!
Thomas sneered at Samuel's explanation. "Did she tell you this? Just as I suspected; such a cunning person. She'd lie to anyone."
After that, he waved his hand as he turned around. "It seems like Father Samuel refuses to tell me her information. It's alright. When I find her, I'll ask her myself what her real intention was. Then, I'll bring her to you so you can hear it yourself."
With that, Thomas finally left with his men, leaving Samuel seated alone.
He watched as Thomas left, and his eyes narrowed.
Once he was certain Thomas and his men finally left the mansion, he sprung up from the couch to pick up the medicine box he threw away into the rubbish bin.
It was a flight ticket.
Samuel exhaled heavily at this. Joshua was asking him to leave.
