Chapter 2790 “Don‘t you dare!” When she heard this, Luna immediately took out her phone, dialed the emergency number, and glared at the people around her. “This is against the law! I–”
Before she could even finish, the leader lunged forward and swiped her phone out of her hand.
She brought Luna‘s phone up to her ear and said into the receiver, “Nothing, I misdialed.”
with that, she was about to toss the phone away but, upon noticing how expensive Luna‘s phone looked, tucked it into her pocket instead. Finally, she shot Luna a triumphant glance and said, “How are you supposed to call the police now?”
“Don‘t worry.” Gwen immediately turned around and shielded Luna behind her. She lifted her head to stare at the crowd before her. “I was the one who had said the stuff about Thomas, so if anything, you should target me instead, but no matter how mad you are, I won‘t change my mind!
“Thomas is just a suspect, and no one has yet found any evidence to convict him of murder. It should be up to the judiciary system to decide whether he‘s guilty of murder or not, not any of you.
“Besides, even if he truly murdered his father, it‘s not up to either of you to demand him to hand over his shares!”
The look in her eyes was so cold that the men surrounding them immediately shrunk backward out of fear.
The crowd fell silent.
Finally, murmurs spread throughout the crowd.
“She‘s right; the police haven‘t even said anything about Thomas Howard‘s capture yet...” “I heard that Senior Howard was admitted to the hospital after Thomas shot him yesterday, and he passed away at midnight... Who else could it be if not Thomas?” “But we can‘t possibly protest anything if there‘s no concrete evidence yet...”
The leader of the party overheard this and immediately flew into a rage. “Do you honestly believe everything she says? If we don‘t chase Joshua Lynch out and demand Thomas Howard to hand over his shares, are we supposed to wait until they‘ve evacuated the money and nothing is left?
“Have you forgotten what Mrs. Howard said? She promised us that she‘d split one–third of Howard Group‘s shares among us if we successfully chased Joshua Lynch out! Do you know just how much that is? That‘s tens of thousands of dollars! Are you going to give up on that money just because of what this woman said?”
