Chapter 2525
Yannie immediately nodded. “That‘s right! Ms. Luna, you have to believe me!
“I met with Mr. Lynch because…because we had some business to talk about!”
Luna replied in a whisper, “Yannie, I trust that both you and Joshua are innocent, but even if you are, you have to tell me the truth–what were you and Joshua talking about that day? “Unless you tell me the truth right now…I won‘t be able to believe you fully.” Yannie curled her fingers tightly around the phone. Truth be told, she wanted nothing more than to tell Luna that she and Joshua were just business partners–Joshua had promised her money, and her task was to get close and spy on Thomas!
However, she could not tell Luna this.
According to Joshua, she was forbidden to talk about their deal to a third person without his permission, and if she violated this, she would have to pay double in retribution.
This meant that if she told Luna the truth, not only would she fail to receive the money Joshua promised, but she would even have to fork out a million dollars to him.
Therefore, Yannie bit her lip and replied, “Ms. Luna, all you have to know is that nothing is going on between Mr. Lynch and me, and as for what we were talking about…
She sniffed. “You‘ll have to ask Mr. Lynch himself; I promised him I‘d never tell another soul, and I have to stick to my word.”
Luna rubbed her brow in frustration. “I don‘t know.” With that, she sighed and decided to call Nigel for help.
“Don‘t worry, Mommy. I‘ll get to the bottom of this,” Nigel declared confidently. “I‘ll get back to you in half an hour about the source of the news.”
Luna hung up the phone, feeling much more reassured. 30 minutes later, Nigel‘s call came. “Mommy, I‘ve confirmed that this news was leaked from someone living inside Mr. Thomas Howard‘s house.”
Meanwhile, in the hallway of Joshua‘s house. Yannie, who was helping Mrs. Flores bring Nigel a glass of milk, overheard this as soon as she stepped foot on the landing. She bit her lip nervously. This was all Thomas‘ doing!
