"Why are you so early today?" Kate gently asked, looking feminine and demure in front of Steven.
Steven smiled and took a sip of the milk given to him. "I wanted to head to the office to do some reading. There's a meeting with the Howards today."
Then, he looked up at Kate. "Have you heard? The illegitimate son of the Howards, Thomas Howard, is back. I heard that he even brought over great help from Merchant City. His name is Joshua Lynch."
Upon hearing Joshua's name, Kate's hands shuddered a little.
She had heard about Thomas returning from Merchant City. She also knew that Gwen and Luna were on a vacation in Saigen City. However, this was the first time hearing that Joshua was here, too.
Upon hearing that name, Kate's heart constricted tightly. She found it hard to breathe.
She was not afraid of Thomas and Yannie settling down in Saigen City. After all, she and Thomas did not have any conflict of interest, and Thomas was not a person that liked to meddle in other people's affairs when he could barely cope with his own. He could not possibly care about hers.
She was also not worried that Luna and Gwen were here, knowing that they came only for a vacation and would not be staying long. As long as she looked after Steven properly, not letting Gwen and Steven meet, this issue would pass smoothly.
However, Joshua...
Kate held her utensils tightly. This man was not easy to deal with. He was Luke's best friend. He was extremely cold, calm, and smart. She could stop Luna and Gwen from meeting Steven, but she could not stop Joshua from meeting Steven.
If Joshua and Steven met, he would surely suspect Steven's identity.
Also, if he were to tell Gwen about it...
From Joshua's and Gwen's relationship with Luke, by then, no matter whether Steven was the real Luke or not, they would surely pester him.
What if...
