Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 2841

Chapter 2841

Has Steven returned?

Gwen stormed out the door.

Steven was heading in her direction, and Gwen noticed that he was alone. She furrowed her brow and stared at him. “Denise…”

“I couldn’t find her.” Steven frowned and sighed, his face full of despair and helplessness. “I’ve dispatched my men to search the entire city, even the slums on the outskirts of town, but none of them could find her. “When she last appeared in the surveillance tapes, she was with a strange man I had never seen before. They walked out of view of the cameras, and we couldn’t find any trace of them after that…” Steven’s voice was full of sorrow. “Perhaps…we’re already too late.”

Perhaps Denise had taken Thomas seriously and relented to sleeping with a strange man.

Steven felt his breath catch in his throat.

Denise had lost everything she had: Her parents hated her guts, Tina had been using her all this while, and Thomas–the man she thought she loved–wanted nothing more than to see her dead.

Therefore, there was nothing else in this world for her to hold onto anymore.

Steven was terrified that he would soon receive the news that someone had discovered her dead body somewhere.

“I’m sure we’ll be able to find her. You…” Gwen paused mid–sentence, unsure of how to console him.

A split second later, she let out a sigh. It seemed as though nothing she could say would effectively ease Steven’s worries.

All of a sudden, the door swung open, and Thomas strode out of the room. “Is that Steven?”

Steven furrowed his brow. Even though he was starting to change his mind, he still could not help trying to defend Denise. “Perhaps that wasn’t her plan at all.”

“That wasn’t her plan?” Thomas sneered. “Are you suggesting that as long as it wasn’t the person’s original intention to do something, I should automatically forgive every mistake they’ve committed?

“Even though you hadn’t meant to steal Luke’s body for your own, it still happened anyway; does that mean you’re automatically forgiven just because you had no intention of it happening?

Thomas fixated his cold gaze on Steven. “I can’t believe I underestimated you, Steven. Everyone from the Hughes family is selfish and greedy, including you!”

With that, he strode over to Steven’s side, towering over him, and added, “Didn’t you say that you’d unleash your wrath on me if you couldn’t find Denise within an hour?

“Well, I’m standing here right in front of you, so do whatever you want!”
