Ch. 2681..2690

Chapter 2681 Hearing Steven‘s deep, low voice from above her head, Gwen‘s arm around his waist loosened. That voice...was Luke‘s. However, the way he talked, his tone, and his habits were a far cry from him.

Luke would never speak to her in this way. Instead, he would use her finger to pinch her nose and say dotingly, “Silly, did you miss me? I know you can‘t leave me.”

To others, Luke was an apathetic man. To her, he was always a warm and caring man. The man that Gwen was hugging had a different tone, different way of speaking, and logic from Luke. Luke from the past would never address a woman so politely, even if he was speaking to outsiders.

Gwen took a deep breath and slowly loosened her arms around his waist. She cocked her head to look at the man in front of her.

His brow, eyes, nose, jaw, lips... Even the scar on his forehead and the scratch mark on his neck which was caused by Gwen... They were all identical to Luke‘s.

She bit her lip and looked at the man in front of her warily. “Luke, what happened to you?”

By then, Luna made her way toward them. The first thing she did was hold Gwen‘s shoulder and looked at the man in front of her. If she thought this man looked similar to Luke previously...she was certain this man in front of her was Luke now that she was up close.

Two people could not possibly look this identical. This man was Luke! “Miss.” Steven looked at Gwen helplessly, and then at the crowd around them.

He had tried to explain to Gwen when she was drunk that he was not Luke, yet Gwen was relentless. His explanation did not work, and he refused to reiterate or repeat himself to Gwen.

There were too many people around them with their phones out, and he was afraid they might have taken photos of what happened. Thus, he needed to explain it to Gwen in front of the crowd. He needed to make it clear that Gwen had mistaken him for someone else and that he did not betray Kate. He took a deep breath and said,” Miss, I know the Luke that you mentioned is an important person to you, but I‘m not the Luke you‘re looking for. You probably don‘t know me, so let me introduce myself.”

He took a step back and looked at Gwen solemnly. “My name is Steven Hughes. I‘m the young master of the Hughes family, no longer single. I have a fiancee named Kate Miller, the young miss of the Miller family.” After that, he took out his phone and showed Gwen the selfie he took with Kate with their faces pressed together. “This is me and my fiancee. We‘ve been together for more than five years and are deeply in love. Our engagement and wedding are well underway, so I‘m afraid you have the wrong person.” Gwen felt like she was struck by thunder, petrified as she stood still, her mind going blank ‘How could that be? I can accept he is not Luke...but why is he saying he is Kate‘s fiance! They‘ve been together for five years? Bullshit! Kate was chasing after Luke before this, telling him how much she loved him more than a month ago, yet all this while, she‘s been in love

with this man for five years?!‘ Gwen did not believe it. She could not believe what the man said.

She knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that the man she was looking at was Luke!

Chapter 2682 “Gwen.” Luna finally regained her senses after the shock she received when she first saw Steven up close. She bit her lip. Although she did not know why Luke had become Steven all of a sudden, this was not the time to discuss it.

After fighting her way through the onlookers, finally arriving where Gwen and Steven were, she furrowed her brow and spoke with a small voice, “Come, Gwen. Let‘s go.” Gwen, stunned to hear Luna‘s voice, quickly turned to look at Luna excitedly. “Luna, look! Luke! It‘s Luke!”

She had lost her mind at this point and did not care how others perceived her. “I found Luke, Lulu! Are you seeing this? I found Luke!

“Did you know he was supposed to be here? Is that why you brought me here?” Luna‘s heart throbbed as she faced her friend‘s rambles. She bit her lip and looked at Steven while apologizing to him. “Mr. Hughes, my friend here had experienced something bad not long ago. So...” She extended her hand out to grab Gwen‘s hand. “Gwen, why don‘t we leave?” she muttered under her breath. “There are too many people here.” She tugged at Gwen‘s hand, making her face the many onlookers encircling them. “You know it‘s not good for Luke to expose his identity to so many people. You‘re drawing too much attention by hugging him now. Let‘s go back to the hotel first. We could go look for Luke where he stays later. Is that okay?” Luna‘s words managed to draw Gwen‘s lost mind back to reality. She bit her lip and looked at Luna, then at Steven.

Finally, she extended her hand to grab Steven‘s hand and said, “Then...you have to call me when you are back at home. Okay?”

Her eyes were sparkling with sadness and worry as she looked at him. Steven‘s heart trembled lightly as he looked into Gwen‘s eyes.

‘That legendary Luke... How important was he to her?‘

This was not the first time he met this woman. Every time he did, she changed to another person when Luke‘s name was mentioned, which was what was happening at this moment. No matter how he explained to her that he was not Luke, the woman did not listen to anything he said.

It was only when her friend came to tell her that Luke‘s identity should not be known to the public did the woman mellow down. Not only did she let go of his hand, but she even told him that he must go look for her.

“Can you call me, please?” Gwen started to panic when she saw ‘Luke‘ did not answer her question. She bit her lip and looked at the man in front of her earnestly. “Luke, please come and find me. Please.”

Steven felt his heart skip a beat when he saw her clear, pure eyes. After a while, he nodded.“.

Okay.” He could not bear to reject the woman when he saw the look on her face.

Once Gwen heard his promise, she turned and left with Luna.

As the two women were out of his sight, he cocked his head and glared at the onlookers around him coldly. “I know you‘re all thinking it‘s a good chance for you to sell the story that I was hugging a woman, who‘s not my fiancee in public, to the media. However...”

He curled up his lips into a smile as a ruthless glint flashed through his eyes. “You should all know that woman had mistaken me for another person.”

Chapter 2683 “Those people who stood nearer to us should‘ve heard everyone. She was calling me Luke, but as you all know, I‘m Steven Hughes. That woman had just lost her loved one, so she‘s not of a sound mind. Understandably, she had mistaken me for her loved one, and I don‘t intend to seek compensation from her. But...”

Steven paused a while before continuing, “If anyone here escalated this issue to a different level that it affects my relationship with my fiancee, or–God forbid– the cooperation between the Miller family and my family... I think not only will I sue that person, but I‘ll also make sure they‘ll have a hard time living in this city.”

Coldness appeared in his eyes, the intensity matching his tone. “If any of you isn‘t afraid to offend me, my family, or the Miller family, you‘re free to post what happened to social media or sell it to the media.”

Instantly, no one dared to make a sound. The onlookers exchanged looks with each other, visibly intimidated by this ominous taunt.

As the onlookers dispersed, Steven had an incoming call. It was his assistant calling him. “Sir, did you go and pick up Dr. Liddell? Her plane has landed, and she‘s already at the airport. Where are you?” his assistant asked.

Steven smacked his forehead in realization; he came to pick up Dr. Liddell!

He quickly headed toward the arrival gate. Not far away, Luna embraced Gwen in her arms and lowered her voice, speaking, “Why don‘t we stay in Saigen City for now?”

“Okay.” Gwen sat on the chair and looked in the direction where Steven was with tears rolling down her face. At this moment, her emotions were quelled. She saw and heard what Steven did and said after Luna and her left. 1

‘But he is really Luke! What happened to him?‘

“Alright. I‘ll ask Lucas to cancel our tickets...” Luna thus sent a text to Lucas while continuing to monitor Gwen. She was afraid Gwen might act recklessly and do something absurd again.

Fortunately, Gwen had calmed down.

“Did he lose his memory?” Gwen squeezed her brow tightly as she looked at how anxious Steven was while searching for the person he was waiting for at the exit. “Neil, Bonnie, and Jim lost their memories before too... But even so, their personalities were the same. The way they talked and their tone was the same. But Luke...”

This man was far too removed from the Luke she knew. He no longer had the memory of being with her, and his characteristics were totally different from before to the extent that if his appearance and body were not the same as Luke‘s, Gwen would have thought they were two different people. ‘What happened? How did it come to this? What kind of things Luke had been through? And...‘ She put her hand on her chest to feel the heart that was still beating in her heart. ‘If Luke didn‘t die, whose heart is with me now?‘

Chapter 2684

As Gwen continued to stare in the direction where Steven was, a female voice rang out. calling. “Luna, Gwen!”

Gwen and Luna were baffled to hear their names and raised their heads simultaneously.

It was Rachel, standing before them and wearing a white business suit, looking proud and professional. She had luggage with her as she had just arrived in this city.

“I just got off the plane and Theo called me, telling me that you‘re both in Saigen City. I was going to get your contact number from him to meet up, but I didn‘t expect to see you both here at the airport.”

She then looked at the luggage Gwen was sitting on. “Are you guys...” “We were planning to leave, but we‘ve got unfinished business, so we‘re not leaving anymore, “Luna responded and smiled at Rachel. She took a look at Steven, who was still waiting for someone at the exit, and squinted. “Theo called me just now. He told me you‘re here to visit a patient.”

“Yes.” Rachel nodded and unconsciously looked at Gwen. “I‘m here...because of a special case.”

She would not have come to Saigen City, the city of cold wind, if the man in the photo was not a spitting image of Luke. The symptoms he described were similar to someone who had their brainwashed, too. Her lips curved upward as she looked at Luna. “Have you all seen my patient?” It was a weird question, but Luna understood Rachel‘s reasoning. Rachel was afraid Gwen had not seen Steven before. In addition, she did not know the connection between Steven and Luke yet. If she had spoken so rashly, it would make Gwen lose control of her emotions, hence why she asked that question. Furthermore, she had guessed Theo must have told Luna the reason she came to Saigen City today. Luna paused and looked at Gwen, who was sitting on the luggage. Only then did she look at Rachel and answer, “I saw him, but Gwen hadn‘t.”

Gwen furrowed her brow, not knowing what Luna and Rachel were talking about.

Just then, Rachel‘s phone rang, receiving a call from an unknown number. While Rachel‘s phone rang, Steven quickly looked around him. When he saw the ringtone coming from the woman who was standing with Luna and Gwen, the expression on his face froze.

Rachel did not know who was calling her and thus picked up the call. “Who is this?”

Steven saw Rachel picking up the phone and squeezed his brow tightly. ‘Is that Dr. Liddell? Why is she together with them?‘ Since there was no reply from the other side, Rachel furrowed her brow and repeated, “Who is this?”

“Dr. Liddell.” Steven lowered his voice. “I‘m Steven Hughes.”

“Mr. Hughes.” Rachel pursed her lips and looked at Gwen. “Where are you?”

“I‘m...not far from you,” replied Steven, followed by a sigh. Rachel shifted her gaze and looked ahead. Gwen did the same and looked in the same direction as Rachel

They both saw Steven talking on the phone. When Steven realized Rachel was looking at him, he waved and greeted Rachel.

Gwen was dumbfounded. ‘So...the one who called Rachel was Steven? The one who looks like Luke?‘ Gwen thought.

Chapter 2685 ‘But.. I thought Rachel specializes in the study of vegetative patients. Why did Steven reach out to Rachel?‘

With that thought in her mind, Gwen furrowed her brow. Just when she was about to sav something, Steven walked toward them.

“Dr. Liddell.” He smiled and extended his hand out to shake hands with Rachel. “I came to pick you up.”

Rachel offered a sheepish smile. “I just got off the plane and saw my friends...”

She took a deep breath and introduced her friends to Steven without any means of hiding them. “This is Luna, a talented jewelry designer. This here is Gwen, a woman talented in her own rights, too.”

Steven paused and looked at Luna. He was amazed to find out the woman he just met was Joshua‘s wife, Luna. He had repeatedly looked at Luna‘s information when he was investigating Joshua.

A piece of news from seven years ago reported Luna was dead. One year later, there was news saying Luna was about to marry Malcolm from the Quinn family in Merchant City. A few months afterward, there were reports that said Luna rekindled with Joshua when all of a sudden, rumors that she was with Thomas Howard popped up.

It was hard for Steven to not notice this woman who had such a legendary, mysterious life. At that moment, he looked at Luna with many thoughts running through his mind. He should have guessed it. This woman was so beautiful and outstanding. She must have an extraordinary identity.

However... Luna‘s friend, Gwen, was not as pretty as her. Her temperament was not as cool and proud as Luna‘s too. In spite of that, she gave people the desire to take care of her. Every time Steven saw her, whether in real life or through her photo, his heart would pain terribly. Even when she kept on bothering him when she lost her mind, he would feel bad and pitied her.

“Hi.” Since Rachel had introduced her to Steven, Luna had no choice but to greet Steven. “I‘m Luna.”

Gwen also got on her feet and extended her hand out to shake hands with Steven. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Hughes.” She looked calm and refrained, not the paranoid person who clung to Steven so desperately and was unhinged. Nonetheless, her eyes betrayed her. They looked red, and there were still some tears in her eyes. Steven was slightly stunned, but that did not stop him from extending his hand out to shake hands with Gwen. “I‘m Steven Hughes.” When they shook each other‘s hands, Gwen‘s heart skipped a beat. She was too familiar with Luke‘s body. This man had a rough palm just like Luke‘s. Steven Hughes was supposed to be a young master who had everything done for him, so he could not possibly have such a rough palm.

Gwen had closely monitored Joshua‘s, Theo‘s, and even Jim‘s palms before. They had clean palms without any calluses as Luke had. There was also no sign of wounds or marking from living in the bottom life. Only Luke had it.

She remembered how she failed to fall asleep in the middle of the night. Her sobs racked her form as she clung to Luke. She felt bad for his past and everything he had been through

How was it possible this man, who said he was the young master of the Hughes family, had a similar palm to Luke‘s?

Steven quickly drew his hand away as he noticed Gwen was looking at his hand while thinking deeply in her mind. He looked at Rachel. “Dr. Liddell, since you‘ve met your friends...are you planning to chat with them or follow me back now?”

Chapter 2686 Steven was being very obvious that he did not want to continue being around Luna and Gwen. Rachel furrowed her brow and looked at Luna and Gwen, as well as the luggage they had beside them. In the end, she smiled and passed her luggage to Luna. “Can you please keep my luggage where you‘re staying?” Luna nodded and understood what Rachel wanted to say. She took over the luggage Rachel passed to her and smiled. “Sure. Go ahead and carry on. Call us when you are done.” She then looked at Gwen. “Shall we?” Gwen was staring at Steven the whole time, and she finally regained her senses when she heard Luna asking her a question. To answer Luna, she nodded. “Okay.”

The closer she was to Steven, the more assured she was that the man in front of her was Luke. However, Steven denied that he was Luke, so she did not dare to do anything.

It was best to follow Luna back to the hotel. She could ask Rachel more about Luke‘s condition after Rachel gave him a thorough consultation. Rachel was a friend of Luke too, so Gwen believed Rachel would help her to get to the bottom of it. Gwen stood up and looked at Rachel eagerly. “Please contact us when you are finished.” Rachel smiled. “Of course.” She pointed at her luggage. “My luggage is with you and Luna. I‘ll look for you both afterward, for sure.”

Finally, Gwen was assured and nodded before she left with Luna and the luggage.

Steven stood still as he watched Gwen leave, and he exhaled deeply. ‘Wow... There are times when this woman is calm, I see. I thought she‘d bother me again.‘

“Let‘s go, Mr. Hughes.” When Luna and Gwen were finally out of their sight, Rachel took a deep breath. She looked at the man beside her with a smile. “Where should we go for your consultation?”

Steven did not say anything immediately. After a while, he answered with a small voice, “Let‘s go to my private estate.” Afraid Rachel might feel uncomfortable, he quickly added, “I have two assistants waiting for us there. You‘re in good hands.”

Rachel smiled, picked up her medical bag, and headed out. With her curled lips, she smiled.” You‘re a funny person, Mr. Hughes. Over so many years, I was never in any danger while consulting patients in their houses. Do you want to know why?” Steven furrowed his brow and quickly followed Rachel. “Why?” “Because if someone tries to hurt me, I won‘t be the injured party in the end,” Rachel answered.

Steven was startled by the answer and did not know how to respond.

“When did you start having those symptoms?” asked Rachel, seeing as Steven did not react to what she said.

After being silent for a while, Steven muttered, “About two weeks ago.”

He had woken up from his coma less than two months ago, and the symptoms had tortured him for two weeks. He would not seek help from doctors if it was intolerable and painful. “The Miller family didn‘t help you?” Rachel furrowed her brow and stopped walking. “You mentioned you‘ve been seeking help from different doctors before you found me.”

Steven‘s girlfriend was the eldest young miss of the Miller family. Over the past five years, the Miller family had been buying and sponsoring many different medical organizations. Rachel was aware of it.

Chapter 2687

In fact, the Miller family contacted Rachel, too. At that time, Rachel was too proud of herself that when the Miller family wanted to sponsor her, they were giving her an expression that they were doing her a favor. Thus, she rejected them.

Over time, the Miller family finally knew they had crossed Rachel unintentionally. Thus, they went to look for her personally in hopes she could help to save Steven. Alas, Rachel had already had a bad impression of the Miller family and declined.

The reason she was willing to come to Saigen City to treat Steven this time was because she saw Steven’s profile and thought he looked identical to Luke. As Gwen’s friend, she felt compelled to come and observe the situation first–hand. Hence, she decided to fly in immediately.

“The doctors from my fiancee’s family had consulted me once,” Steven answered while bringing Rachel to the car park. He smiled. “They said I was under a lot of stress, so they gave me some medicines to release my stress. That’s all.”

They reached Steven’s car at this point. He unlocked the car and opened the door for Rachel to get in. “I just think there should be a reason why I keep having the same nightmares. Since the Millers can’t help me, I can only seek help from someone else.”

Rachel squinted. “I recalled that bit from your email. You said the Miller family was the one who rescued you.”

“Yes.” Steven nodded. “I’ve been unconscious for five years, and during those five years, my fiancee remained steadfast in all things. She tried to find all sorts of ways to wake me up. I’m grateful to her, as well as the medical team behind her family.”

This time, Rachel looked at him with many thoughts running in her mind. She was near to figuring out what could have triggered the symptoms Steven had. The Miller family was very reputable in the medical profession. A long time ago, Rachel once heard the Miller family had been funding many medical organizations that were researching and studying the restructuring of the human brain.

This man in front of her…could be one of their works.

With that thought in her mind, she got into the car. “Let’s go. I can give you a standard checkup when we reach your private estate.”

“Sure.” Steven nodded and walked to the other side of the car to get into the car.

Meanwhile, at the Millers’ estate…

Kate was sitting in front of the window in her room. She was sunbathing, eating fruits, and picking out her wedding dress from a tablet.

Steven’s mother had informed her that they had picked a date for the wedding, which was two weeks from now. The date was a good day to get married. Nevertheless, they had not asked Steven for his permission. Once Steven agreed with it, they could get started with the preparation.

Thus, Kate started by picking out her wedding dress. It was one of the most important events in her life, so she wanted it to be perfect.

Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. “Kate, it‘s me.” Kate was stunned and quickly got on her feet to dash to the door to open the door. “Just in time, Mom! I‘m picking out my wedding dress. They‘re too many choices, and I don‘t know which to choose. Can you help me with it?”

Mrs. Miller had a terrible look on her face when she heard her daughter was choosing her wedding dress. “Why are you choosing your wedding dress? Didn‘t you see the news on the internet? Steven was hugging another woman at the airport!”

She took out her phone and clicked open the photo to show it to Kate. “Look at your fiance! I told you before: once a mobster, always a mobster! Even if you transfer Steven‘s brain to that man, he‘ll never get rid of some of his old habits!

“Look at him now; it‘s just like I‘ve said. This low–rank man who fights to survive doesn‘t deserve to be Steven!”

Chapter 2688

Kate furrowed her brow at what her mother was saying. She snatched the phone from Mrs. Miller and glared at her. “Mom, why are you saying such things again? I told you, didn‘t I? I spent one year beside the man, and I know he‘s not a bad person. If the Hughes family didn‘t abandon him, he wouldn‘t have ended up the way he did. If he was some sort of crazy man, I‘d never agree to let him replace Steven. I...” Suddenly, Kate did not remember what she was going to say when she saw the photo on the phone.

After all, the people on the phone were Steven and Gwen. The woman Steven was hugging was Gwen!

It seemed like the photo was taken at the airport.

Gwen was in Steven‘s arms with tears on her face. She was closely attached to him, and her hands were around Steven‘s waist. Steven was looking down at her with a frown with a visibly troubled expression.

The photo had Kate‘s blood pressure skyrocketing. No matter how Kate avoided it, Steven and Gwen still met! Luna and Gwen were supposed to be leaving today, so how…

Her sources told her Luna and Gwen were flying off this afternoon. She was afraid Steven would accidentally bump into Gwen and Luna, so she called Steven to check his location and made subsequent arrangements.

Steven told her he was resting at home. He claimed to be tired from studying and was having headaches. Thus, he had no plan to go out.

What happened when this photo was taken?

“You see it now, huh?” Mrs. Miller did not know the connection between Luke and Gwen. She thought Gwen was just a beautiful, pure woman.

She sneered, “That old Steven will never hug any woman he saw on the street. Why don‘t you admit that some people just can‘t change their old habits? I already told you that you and your dad‘s plan won‘t work.

“I already suggested that you should look for another man five years ago, yet you insisted on being with Steven and even figured out such a plan. You can‘t keep the new Steven by your side, and the old Steven is dead too! You‘ll have nothing; no man and no money!”

After that, Mrs. Miller went into Kate‘s room and dumped all of the wedding magazines near the window into the rubbish bin. “Why don‘t you consider Mr. Chester that I‘ve told you previously? I know he‘s not as handsome as Steven and his family isn‘t as wealthy as the Hughes family, but he‘d only have you in his heart and would care only for you!

“I‘m going to the Hughes family to cancel the wedding now. I‘m not letting you marry that scumbag!”

“He...is not a scumbag.” Kate stood there with a stupefied look on her face. She looked at her mother as tears rolled down her eyes. “Mom, he‘s not a scumbag. He also didn‘t just hug any woman he saw on the street... He...”

“What?” scoffed Mrs. Miller, furrowing her brow as she looked at Kate.

“Nothing.” Kate took a deep breath and did not continue what she wanted to say. In fact…

Chapter 2689 Kate was the only one in this building who knew Luke had a girlfriend. When Luke sought medical help from the Miller family, he told them Gwen was his sister to show how determined he was to save Gwen‘s life. Everyone knew Luke was actually a Hughes, and his sister was Denise. Alas, no one pointed it out. They thought Gwen was the daughter of Luke‘s foster parents. Later, Kate found out about the real relationship between Luke and Gwen when she was living with Luke. Thus, those who knew Luke replaced Steven thought Luke was doing it all for his foster sister. Only Kate knew the truth.

They only cared if Luke‘s body was suitable to be Steven‘s replacement. No one cared about Gwen. Thus, they did not know Gwen was actually Luke‘s partner.

Currently...

Kate looked at the photo on the phone, and it felt as though a large hand clutched her heart in an iron grip. ‘In the end, I still failed to keep him by my side, huh? Even after Luke‘s memory was erased from his brain, he still can‘t forget Gwen when he saw her?‘ She bit her lip and looked at Mrs. Miller. “Mom, don‘t cancel the wedding arrangement with the Hughes family.” Mrs. Miller furrowed her brow. “Kate! Are you put under a spell or something? Look at this! Are you really going to marry him?” “He‘s not a scumbag.” Kate took a deep breath and showed the phone to Mrs. Miller. “This woman is his sister.”

Mrs. Miller stopped throwing the magazine.

Her hands trembled as she cocked her head and looked at the photo. “Are you saying...this woman is his sister? The one who took Steven‘s heart?”

“Yes.” Kate nodded. “And if you look properly, his sister was the one who hugged him. Steven didn‘t have a choice; he did nothing wrong. He‘s still my Steven, my fiance, so if you dare to cancel the wedding with the Hughes family, I‘ll hate you forever.”

Kate turned and left after she said her words.

Mrs. Miller furrowed her brow and looked at her daughter leaving. She felt helpless. “I can‘t figure it out, Kate. Do you like Steven...or Luke, whose mind and memory got taken away?”

Kate stopped walking. After a while, she curled her lips into a smile. “Can‘t I like both?”

Steven‘s private estate was situated in the countryside of Saigen City. His assistants were guarding outside the door while listening to the sound in the room.

After undergoing a round of checking on Steven, Rachel had finally gotten to understand more between Steven and Luke. She patted Luke‘s arm and woke him up from his dream. “We‘re done.”

Gradually, Steven opened his eyes. “Do you feel there‘s anything different between you from five years ago and now?” Rachel asked.

Steven remained silent for a while. Then, he showed both of his hands to Rachel.

“I don‘t understand. I‘ve been lying in bed for five years...so why are there calluses on my hands? And my heart ached for no reason other than having dreams and headaches.” He raised his head to look at Rachel. “Doctor. Can you please tell me what happened to me?”

Chapter 2690

Rachel furrowed her brow after hearing what Steven had to say. She narrowed her eyes and looked at this man who had clear and pure eyes.

She frowned.

The old Luke she knew was a gangster leader. He had an extraordinary identity, and his method of solving problems was different from regular folks. He had the skill and ability to trick all of the people in Sea City and Merchant City. He had vicious, cold eyes; ones that looked beyond and further than everyone else.

However, this man who went by the name of Steven Hughes had clear, bright eyes, much like the eyes of a kid who had not known the evil in the world.

Rachel hesitated when she saw the look in Steven’s eyes. She furrowed her brow and looked into his eyes. “Do you really want to know what happened?”

She was a doctor. She understood once Steven knew the truth, his future would never be peaceful anymore. Thus, she had to remind Steven of all of the pros and cons before telling him the truth.

Steven nodded as an ominous feeling rose in his chest. “My past…”

He paused and did not finish his sentence. He cocked up his head. “Does that woman, Gwen, have anything to do with my past?”

Just as Steven finished talking, a sharp female voice came from below.

“Where’s Steven? I want to see him! Get him to come downstairs!”

It was Kate’s voice. Followingly, they heard Steven’s assistant’s voice, “Ms. Miller, Mr. Hughes is very busy now. Can you please wait for a while?”

“Very busy?” Kate raised her volume and pitch. “Is he busy rekindling with that shameless woman?”

After leaving her house, Kate finally received word from her people.

They found out Steven went to the airport behind her back. In addition, there was a woman in his car when he left the airport, and he brought her to his private estate.

Once Kate got to know of this, she was furious that Steven lied to her and went to the airport.

The Hughes Group did not have any overseas partners nor relatives living outside of Saigen City! Why did Steven go to the airport? Was it because he wanted to stop Luna and Gwen from leaving?

Combined with the photo from before, Kate suspected the woman Steven brought to the private estate was Gwen.

She knew it. Luna and Gwen, those two conniving bitches, would not leave Saigen City without a fight! Although they looked like they were not after anything, they had contacted Steven secretly!

Frankly speaking, Kate blamed herself. She thought she had total control over Steven, that they were in the clear.

She underestimated Gwen and Luna. She should have known that since Joshua had seen Steven, Gwen and Luna would never lay low.

Her anger spiked when she thought about Steven spending time alone with Gwen upstairs in the room. She bit her lip and pushed away the two assistants that were blocking her way to rush upstairs.

“Steven! Come out now! Don‘t listen to them!”

Kate dashed upstairs in one breath and kicked open the bedroom door.

At that moment, Rachel was sitting on the chair, drinking coffee in the bedroom. Steven furrowed his brow while standing beside the door as if he was about to open the door. His face blanched as Kate kicked open the door.
