Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) novel Chapter 2823

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.
