"If I don't see her with Luna from now onward, and if I barely see her when I work with Luna in the future...
"I'd tell the whole world that you, Joshua Lynch, aren't a man of his word, having promised to give this girl a job but didn't," sneered Thomas.
Yannie's expression morphed at this moment. She bit her lip while she clenched her fists tightly. She knew Joshua did not offer her a job because she was mature, honest, and could see the bigger picture.
He did it because he wanted to provoke Thomas.
When Thomas insisted on seeing her during his cooperation with Luna or he would tell the world Joshua was a liar, he did not do it to help her. Thomas wanted to let Joshua know he would always be on the lookout to make trouble for Yannie in the future because of Joshua's decision.
Yannie gnawed on her bottom lip. She wanted to say something but did not know what to say. It was as if her courage left her right after she challenged Thomas. At this moment, she did not know how to reject Joshua's offer as Joshua simply decided her job for her without asking her permission.
"Alright. She'll listen to Mr. Lynch's arrangement." While Yannie was in distress, Mrs. Flores sighed and grabbed her hand lightly. Then, she lowered her voice to whisper into Yannie's ear, "Why were you suddenly so aggressive? You've always been so calm."
Frankly speaking, Yannie could just ignore Thomas when he pointed at her to ask her opinion. Thomas was just a guest in the house and did not have the right to request Yannie to answer his question.
At that time, Mrs. Flores thought her obedient, smart daughter would never react to Thomas' question, but she was wrong. Not only did Yannie answer his question, but she even went with the topic and disparaged him!
As such, Yannie and Mrs. Flores ended up being Thomas' enemies. Even if they had decided that Mrs. Flores was going to resign today and stayed clear from the Lynch family, they were forced to listen to Joshua’s arrangement at this point and be on the same side with the Lynch family.
Thomas was not about to forgive Yannie after how she disparaged him. If they could not seek refuge under the Lynch family, Thomas could easily make their lives a living hell!
With that said, they had no choice but to seek shelter from the Lynch family so that Thomas would think twice before attacking them.
"Mother..." Looking at Mrs. Flores' gaze =d*? TIU: behavior, Yannie bit her lip and sighed sheepishly.
She, too, did not know what had gotten into her. Her usual self would just leave the scene without saying anything in this kind of situation.
However, she found herself unable to keep her calm when Thomas singled her out.
Maybe it was because of her baby .or maybe she did not want her baby to see what an awful person his father was.
"Please look forward to it, Mr. Howard." Joshua curled up his lips and made eye contact with Thomas. "You can say anything you want if you don't see Yannie around Luna, but..."
He squinted. "If you dare to bully her, I won’t let it slide."
Thomas curled his lips and smiled, shooting Joshua a contemptuous look. " She's that important to you, is she? Could this girl, Yannie, be your mistress?"
