Chapter 2787 Yannie bit her lip upon hearing this. She lifted her head to stare at Gwen, her gaze gradually
becoming more resolute.
When she recalled what Gwen had gone through...she could not help realizing that what she was going through at
the moment was nothing compared to Gwen‘s past.
At this thought, Yannie sniffed and lifted her head to meet Luna and Gwen‘s gaze. “What... should I do now? Is there
any news from Mr. Lynch? Does he have any way to help Thomas prove his innocence?”
When Luna saw just how worried Yannie was, she could not bring herself to bring Yannie bad news, but at the same

She grasped Yannie‘s hand in comfort as she continued, “What you have to do now is help Thomas get his emotions

The color drained from Yannie‘s face when she heard this. She shot Mrs. Flores a look of disbelief. “How can you
say something like that?”
With that, she stood up and disappeared into the bathroom to freshen up.
Yannie could not help letting out a bitter chuckle as she stared at her red, puffy face in the mirror.
She instinctively glanced in Luna and Gwen‘s direction out of the corner of her eye. Her mother said that she was

crying, when it came to dealing with obstacles.
At this thought, Yannie sniffed and stared at herself in the mirror, her gaze becoming more and more resolute.
Thomas had been helping her from the moment they met. It was time for her to stick up for him with his current
predicament.
Gwen was right; crying was never the answer!
Yannie wiped her face with a clean towel and changed into a fresh set of clothes. Then, she emerged from the
bathroom and put on her coat. “Let’s go, Luna, Gwen.”
Luna paused when she saw Yannie’s newfound resolution, then smiled. “Alright, let’s go. Are we going to visit
Thomas at the holding cell?”
