Chapter 2823
Yannie bit her lip when she laid eyes on the screen before her.
This was a surveillance tape from a few days before, just before Riley had gone missing.
Since someone had wiped all the security cameras on the day of Riley's disappearance, Thomas had no choice but to attempt to find clues from previous surveillance footage.
To his surprise, he managed to find something.
Yannie clenched her fists as she stared at the image of Tina and Denise on the screen, smiling and chatting.
She, like Thomas, had thought Tina and Denise would not dare lay a finger on Riley since their primary target was Thomas, but to their surprise...
These people did not know where to draw the line at all!
Riley was not even six months old, so how could they do this to a small, innocent child?
"I'm going to Hughes Residence right now." Thomas caught sight of Yannie's rage and immediately pulled her into his arms, frowning. "We'll confront Denise in person about this."
The familiar warmth of his embrace surged through Yannie, and for a split second, she did not want to pull away.
However, the image of what happened at Howard Mansion the day before appeared in her mind, and she instinctively removed herself from Thomas' grasp, turning her head away so as not to meet his
gaze. "Let's go then."
Thomas felt his heart sink at this.
He could not help feeling like an invisible hand was squeezing his heart as he watched Yannie turn and walk toward the exit.
His only intentions of hugging her were simply to comfort and reassure her.
He knew she was worried sick about Riley, but he never thought that after what happened the day before, even a gesture of reassurance from him would elicit such a hostile response.
A deep feeling of dread seeped into his heart, and he curled his lips into a bitter smile.
He could not help feeling that Yannie would one day leave him.
Perhaps she would do so as soon as they found Riley.
Even though he, too, was a victim of the events that transpired, he did not seem to have the right to ask her to stay.
However, he could not entirely blame Tina and Denise for this either.
It was his arrogance and lack of consideration that led to this tragedy. He should have known that someone as cunning as Tina would cease at nothing to drag him down, even stooping so low as to poison him!
He should not have believed a single word of hers...
"Thomas."
Yannie did not hear Thomas's footsteps behind her after she left the surveillance room, so she turned to glance in his direction.
At this moment, Thomas was staring blankly back at her, but his thoughts seemed to have wandered elsewhere.

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
