Thomas furrowed his brow and said nothing to Yannie's words.
Yannie, assuming that Thomas was considering her logic with his silence, slowly persuaded him, "Thomas, I know you don't like Joshua that much, but you can't just determine that he's terrible because his father was a scumbag and how naive he was when he was five years old."
No matter how Yannie was reluctant to believe Thomas, she could tell whether Joshua was a scumbag or not. All this time, she knew how Joshua's attitude was when treating her mother, Luna, his three children, and Riley.
Moreover... Thomas had been in Merchant City for more than a month. Ever since the first day he arrived, he went after Joshua and Luna, even using being the ambassador of Luna's jewelry company to threaten Luna.
Despite Thomas' challenges and provocation, Joshua did nothing but had Yannie gather Thomas' DNA specimens in exchange for payment. Joshua tolerated, understood, and took care of Thomas.
Yannie did not believe a man like Joshua was what Thomas said he was.
"So you're saying..." Thomas smirked and looked at
Yannie in disdain. "Even after I told you about my aunt, you still don't believe me and rather believe in Joshua. Is that correct?"
Yannie paused. Obviously, she felt Thomas was upset. She took a deep breath and wanted to explain to him." I don't mean that. I just think there's a misunderstanding between you and Mr. Lynch, so-" 1
"There's no misunderstanding," interjected Thomas curtly. "I guess I'm wrong."
Yannie was startled for a moment before joy filled her eyes. "So you admit?"
