Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) novel Chapter 2867

Chapter 2867

Joshua had said it before-they hoped Gwen could pretend to be Steven’s girlfriend to distract Steven’s parents. Therefore, Gwen was not surprised when Joshua said that.

She pursed her lips and looked at Joshua with a pair of serious eyes. “Do I need to do it now?”

She thought there was time for her to prepare mentally.

“We don’t have much time left.” Joshua looked down at his watch to check the time and said, “It’s going to take roughly half a day for you and Steven to get ready and ask Steven’s parents out to the restaurant.

“And, since we don’t know the exact location where Denise and Sean are in the residence, we can’t guarantee Sean has an adequate food supply. Most importantly…”

He gave Gwen a serious look. “If we don’t distract Steven’s parents soon, I’m scared they might be cornered in desperation and sell Denise to someone else.”

Luna frowned as she heard that. “Are you saying…”

“Yes.” Joshua interrupted her indifferently to express affirmation of her assumption. “You should know Steven’s parents adopted Denise because of themselves. They wanted to lighten the sin they conducted and nearly ruin Denise’s life.

“All these years, they only treated Denise like their daughter, taking care of her, pampering her, and showering her with love because they hoped she would marry into a good family in exchange for more power and wealth. Since Denise is no longer a virgin, they had also lost hope of having her marry Thomas. The scariest part for them is Denise actually wants to be with a poor man and leave them for him…”

He raised his head and looked at Luna. “What do you think they’d do out of desperation?”

Luna bit her lip and took a step back unconsciously.

The answer was simple; they would do everything they could to maximize Denise’s value to them. If they thought Denise was a high-end luxury product in the past, the current Denise only had the value of a scrap car that belonged in the scrap yard.
