As Luna grasped the phone tightly in her hand, her eyebrows were pressed into a firm line. She had assumed that Thomas would come find her because of Yannie but never expected it to be so soon.
It had been less than 24 hours after the incident happened, and she had been busy dealing with Denise and her family. There was no time for her to think about how to explain it to Thomas if he asked.
The moment was here, yet she could only bite her lip and made it up as it went. "Why do you think so? Yannie… Is there anything wrong with her?"
Thomas furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing Luna hesitating. He grasped his phone tighter and replied in a deep voice, "Something's wrong with her. Luna, I know you and Yannie are best friends. The only one she trusted other than her mother is you. So, I'd like to ask what's going on. Previously…"
He closed his eyes and thought back to the time when Tina and Denise had drugged him when they were at Howard Mansion. "Was it…"
He hesitated and said the thing he was unwilling to accept, "Was it Denise who helped me detoxify the substance, and not Yannie?"
It shocked Luna to see how sensitive and clear Thomas' mind was. Her jaw hung open widely, yet not a sound came out of her even though she thought of saying something.
Perhaps she had underestimated Thomas. He was Joshua's cousin, so he must have the same alertness and sensitivity as Joshua did. He could presume the problem based on Yannie's attitude and her words.
"I'm right, aren't I?" Thomas took a deep breath after not getting any response from Luna.
With his hoarse voice, he said, "I slept with Denise. Yannie wants me to remain calm and not be upset. She wants to be in the best condition to handle the issue between my family and the Hughes family, so she pretends that nothing happened.
