Chapter 2751 The door swung open at the same time Luna put down her phone.
A few bodyguards entered the rooin, and the leader shot Luna a respectful glance. “Yes, Ma‘am.”
Then, he glanced coldly at Steven and said, “Let‘s go, Mr. Hughes.”
Steven furrowed his brow upon hearing this. “Is there no room for further discussion, Mrs. Lynch?”
He knew how much his parents adored Denise. If he were to go home without her, they would grow concerned and
would not
cease to find her. This was why he had rushed over as soon as he received Joshua‘s call without a single regard for
his injury.
Despite this, he knew he could not simply agree to help Luna and Gwen plot against the Hughes and Miller families.

was he willing to betray his family. “No,” Luna said curtly as she handed Gwen a glass of water.” You‘ve used up all
your chances.” She glanced at the guards and ordered, “Send Mr. Hughes out!” Seeing how adamant Luna was, the
guards had no choice but to approach Steven once more. “Mr. Hughes, please don‘t make this any more difficult
than it has to be.”

Steven stared at Luna, frowning.
Finally, he sighed and stood up from his seat. As he did so, he glanced meaningfully at Luna, then at Gwen.
Finally, he bowed at Gwen and said, “Ms. Larson, I’ve never
known you or Luke personally before this, so I had no idea that bringing up Luke would be so emotionally
traumatizing for you. I‘m so sorry if I caused you any pain.
“I will do my best to make things up to you, but at the same time... if you intend to sue the Hughes and Miller
families for this, I will not cease to stop you.”
Then, he turned and strode out of the room.
Gwen lifted her head to stare at his retreating figure.
Even though this man was not Luke, the way he walked and the way he swung his arms were identical to Luke. A
twinge of pain shot through her heart once more.
Gwen bit her lip as she tried to suppress the urge to hug him. Finally, after Steven‘s silhouette disappeared from
view, she finally slumped against Luna‘s shoulder and sobbed, “Luna... I can‘t face him. I thought I could, but I had
overestimated myself.
“Sometimes, I long for him to admit that he is Luke pretending to be someone else...but at other times, I know full
well that this man isn‘t Luke, and I have the urge to kill him for taking everything away from Luke. “However, I know

that I can‘t do either of those. This body belongs to Steven now, and I have no right to take someone‘s life away,
but I’m just so, so heartbroken...” When she heard Gwen‘s hoarse, sobbing voice and felt the tears dripping onto
her shoulder, Luna suddenly did not know how to comfort her best friend. Instead, she gently patted Gwen‘s back
for comfort. After a long time, Luna‘s phone rang.
It was Neil.

“Mommy, have you tried using the listening device that Nigel prepared for you? We’ve begun to receive some
signals and voices from our end now. Do you need Nigel to connect you to this frequency?
“I overheard some…strange conversations between that man and his parents, but neither Nigel, Nellie, nor I could
figure out what was going on.“
