Yannie's answer did not surprise Thomas. It was only expected that she would side with Joshua and Luna, since she was the daughter of the maid who worked in their home. Despite that, he could not control himself from sneering, "I thought you'd speak for me since you ogled at me so blatantly. I guess no matter how goodlooking I am and how you admired me for it, it wasn't enough for you to betray the loyalty you have for them. Right?"
Thomas thus squinted and scoffed, "As I expected, all the dogs Joshua bred are loyal.
Loyal, just like those who followed him to track Samuel and Mrs. Flores in the beginning. They soon went after his men at the later part. His men wanted to eavesdrop on Samuel and Mrs. Flores’ conversation and failed to hear anything due to Joshua's men interfering with them.
If Joshua's men were so good at their job, Thomas would not have to come here early in the morning to look for Joshua and Luna while also settling Mrs. Flores.
Thinking of this, Thomas opened his eyes and glanced at Yannie coldly before sneering again, "What else do you have to say?"
Yannie narrowed her eyes, zoning into the handsome man sitting on the couch. She felt like her heart had sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
After a while, she stepped forward once and looked at Thomas with a remote expression. "Mr. Howard, I have a lot to say.
"First of all, I don't work here. Even if they paid me, it doesn't mean I'm their dog. As a superstar, do you think it's appropriate of you to say such a thing after witnessing so many experiences in your life? If I'm the Lynch family's dog, what about your assistant, your manager, your driver, and your bodyguard to you? Are they dogs, too?"
Thomas opened his eyes to look at Yannie coldly.
He thought that Yannie would continue to speak for Joshua and Luna to show her loyalty. After all, he had seen one too many people of that sort, surrendering their ego as long as their employers were happy.
To his amazement, this girl—dressed in simple white-washed jeans ;f&=TLS= a t-shirt—stood before him and declared she was not Joshua and Luna's dog. She even used his people to make an example.
A sense of approval flashed across his eyes, but he remained seated on the couch as he shot her a steely gaze.
"Well, they are my dogs. If they admit to being my dogs, are you willing to admit that you are Joshua and Luna's dog?" retaliated Thomas.
He could not explain it, but this woman had piqued his interest, and he suddenly had the desire to make fun of her. He wanted to snuff out her zealous bravery.
To him, she was a dog that would do anything as long as the master paid her the money. What, then, made her think she could show up at his face in such a manner?
"I refuse to listen to your sick words." Yannie balled her fists so tightly that her fingernails were slowly stabbing into her palms.
She never had thought...that this bright, famous guy would say such a disgusting comment! How could he consider someone a dog just because they spoke for their friends or employers?
She admitted that she was so naive and stubborn that she once liked this man because of his appearance.
This man did not deserve her adoration, let alone for her to deliver his baby to the world!
