Chapter 2791 A hand grabbed hold of the arm that was tugging on Gwen‘s shirt. “Is this the culture that Howard Group propagates–a culture of tugging on innocent women‘s clothes to expose her in the cold?”
This voice...
Gwen froze, then instinctively lifted her head.
The person who had come to save her was none other than Luke!
Her entire face seemed to light up, and tears welled in her eyes as she bit her lip. “You...”
“Are you okay?” The man turned to smile at her.
Gwen‘s face fell when she realized that it was Steven. She bit her lip but could not seem to hide the disappointment on her face. “I‘m fine, Steven.”
Steven‘s heart sank
The reason she had seemed so happy to see him...was because she had mistaken him for Luke. After realizing he was not Luke but Steven, however, she became visibly disappointed.
Even when he was rescuing her, she was still hoping it was someone else.
The light seemed to disappear from Steven‘s face at this realization, but the sadness only lasted a moment.
He let out an exhale, stepped in front of Luna and Gwen, and then lifted his head to stare at the people before him. “I‘ve already called the cops. It‘s absolutely disgusting of you to treat these women like this.” “What business is it of yours?” The leader did not seem to be bothered by Steven‘s appearance. She sneered and said, “We‘re in the middle of resolving internal conflict! This woman is Joshua Lynch‘s wife! How is it wrong of us to treat her like this? If anything, it‘s all Joshua Lynch‘s fault!”
With that, she brandished her arm and added, “Everyone, if we don‘t lure Joshua out of the building, all our waiting would‘ve been for nothing. It‘s been difficult waiting out here in the freezing cold, so let‘s not let our efforts go to waste. Don‘t be intimidated by this man!”
Gwen bit her lip and instinctively reached out to grab Steven‘s arm.
Steven was gentle and would not even hurt a fly. “Don‘t worry.” Steven narrowed his eyes and shot the crowd a disdainful glance. Then, he took off his jacket, handed it to Gwen, and pulled his sleeves up. “If you intend to lay a finger on her, you‘ll have to go through me first.”
