Chapter 2756
Upon hearing this, Luna first glanced at Gwen, frowning, then turned to gaze at Denise. “Ms. Hughes, when you say show your brother mercy, you mean...”
.
Denise closed her eyes and let out a sigh. Finally, she opened her eyes and fixated her gaze on Gwen. “I just hope that if I can help you avenge your boyfriend‘s death and punish those who fooled and disrespected him, Ms. Larson ...you‘ll forgive my brother for his wrongdoings .
“I‘ve always thought that my brother is just a victim in this. He had no idea what was going on and had done nothing wrong, but he still occupied your boyfriend‘s body, after all, so I hope that if I manage to help you get what you want, you‘ll choose to leave my brother alone. I don‘t even need you to help me beg for Thomas and Yannie‘s mercy; all I want is for my brother to be okay. He
–
Denise‘s breath caught in her throat. “He‘s the best brother anyone can ever have.‘‘ From the conversation between Steven, Gwen, and Luna, Denise realized that despite knowing since young that he and Denise were not true siblings, Steven had always treated her like his own sister.
Throughout their childhood, Steven would always be the first to stand up for her whenever something bad
happened to her. He would give her anything she wanted, and even when he received his first paycheck after graduating from college, he chose to spend it on a gift for her.
He was still the kind, supportive brother that would stand by her side no matter what. He was the only person she could not bear to leave behind.
“Think of it as a way of repaying my brother‘s love and support for me all these years.” Denise bit her lip. “Can you promise me that, Ms. Larson?”
Gwen was silent for a long time before finally closing her eyes and saying, “How long do you need? I‘ll try my best to buy you some time from Thomas and Yannie, and they won‘t lay a finger on you whilst you‘re helping me, but I don‘t wish to drag this on for too long.”
Gwen had already intended not to blame Steven for what happened to Luke, nor had she ever wanted Steven to return Luke‘s body to her, so Denise‘s request actually lined up perfectly for her. “I‘ll try my best.” Denise let out a bitter smile. “I won‘t cause you any trouble, but also...” She paused for a moment. “I want to know...what‘s happening with Thomas now.”
