Chapter 2791 A hand grabbed hold of the arm that was tugging on Gwen‘s shirt. “Is this the culture that Howard
Group propagates–a culture of tugging on innocent women‘s clothes to expose her in the cold?”
This voice...
Gwen froze, then instinctively lifted her head.
The person who had come to save her was none other than Luke!
Her entire face seemed to light up, and tears welled in her eyes as she bit her lip. “You...”
“Are you okay?” The man turned to smile at her.
Gwen‘s face fell when she realized that it was Steven. She bit her lip but could not seem to hide the disappointment
on her face. “I‘m fine, Steven.”

The reason she had seemed so happy to see him...was because she had mistaken him for Luke. After realizing he
was not Luke but Steven, however, she became visibly disappointed.
Even when he was rescuing her, she was still hoping it was someone else.
The light seemed to disappear from Steven‘s face at this realization, but the sadness only lasted a moment.
He let out an exhale, stepped in front of Luna and Gwen, and then lifted his head to stare at the people before him.
“I‘ve already called the cops. It‘s absolutely disgusting of you to treat these women like this.” “What business is it of
yours?” The leader did not seem to be bothered by Steven‘s appearance. She sneered and said, “We‘re in the
middle of resolving internal conflict! This woman is Joshua Lynch‘s wife! How is it wrong of us to treat her like this? If
anything, it‘s all Joshua Lynch‘s fault!”
With that, she brandished her arm and added, “Everyone, if we don‘t lure Joshua out of the building, all our waiting
would‘ve been for nothing. It‘s been difficult waiting out here in the freezing cold, so let‘s not let our efforts go to
waste. Don‘t be intimidated by this man!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd surged forward in Steven‘s direction.
Gwen bit her lip and instinctively reached out to grab Steven‘s arm.
If the person standing in front of her were Luke, she would not have been worried at all, but he was not Luke.
Steven was gentle and would not even hurt a fly. “Don‘t worry.” Steven narrowed his eyes and shot the crowd a
disdainful glance. Then, he took off his jacket, handed it to Gwen, and pulled his sleeves up. “If you intend to lay a
finger on her, you‘ll have to go through me first.”
With that, he lunged towards the crowd.

The color drained from Gwen‘s face as she bit her lip.
“Gwen,” all of a sudden, Luna‘s voice rang out next to her. “Why is Steven so...gifted at fighting? It kind of reminds
me of Luke.”
Luna had witnessed Luke in combat before.
Luke and Joshua had once gone to rescue her when she was kidnapped back in Sea City, and at that time, Luke had
left a significant impression on her.
Appearance–wise, Luke looked gentle and even a little weak, but this man was surprisingly agile and quick in mortal
combat. As she watched Steven fight against the crowd of protestors... it brought back memories of Luke in
combat. Gwen immediately lifted her head upon hearing this. Her heart lurched as she stared at the man in the
distance.
Tears slid down her cheeks.
Luna was right.
Steven‘s every punch and blow...even the way he swiped his hair out of his face in between strokes...was identical
to Luke‘s. Was this just a shared trait between identical twins, or was Luke gradually returning?
