Gwen pursed her lips upon hearing this but did not reply.
After a long time, she finally sighed and said, "Alright. I promise."
In the past, she had failed to consider that Steven, too, was someone with loved ones and family.
Since Steven and Denise were both willing to pay the price of what had happened…she did not have the right to continue depriving Steven of the right to his life and freedom, and he was not at all obliged to do anything on behalf of Luke.
This was the best outcome any of them could ever hope for.
"Thank you." Denise let out a sigh and got off the bed, then sat down in Luna's chair. She stared at the audio files on the laptop screen and asked, "These are all the recordings of the conversation between Steven and Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, correct?"
Gwen fell silent for a moment, secretly a little annoyed by the fact that Denise had sat down in Luna's chair and looked at her laptop without permission. On second thought, after what Denise just said, Gwen decided not to be so cynical about this.
After all, there was nothing else on Luna's laptop besides these recordings since Luna had already delegated her work before coming to Saigen City.
Seeing that Gwen did not stop her, Denise went ahead and clicked on another audio file.
It was a conversation between Steven and another person.
"Hi, I'd like to inquire about a question I've been having. If someone's mind and consciousness have been replaced…is there a way to regain everything?"
Gwen's entire body stiffened when she heard this.
Denise, too, was shocked to hear this. A split second later, she smiled wryly and said, "Ms. Larson, you heard my brother—he, too, wants to make things up to you in the best way he can.
"He has no idea that you even planted the recording device on him, so he's not just saying these for your sake."
