Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2783

"Steven? Where else do you think he'd be?" Mrs. Hughes chuckled. "He went out to find Kate, of course. Your brother and Kate are growing closer and closer."

She glanced surreptitiously at Denise and added, "By the way, how are you and Thomas doing now?

"This morning, your Aunt Tina told me she'd been trying to set you and Thomas up; how did everything go?"

Denise's heart turned cold when she heard this.

After listening to the audio recordings that Nigel had sent her, Denise finally knew the truth.

The reason Tina had so willingly treated her like a tool against Thomas was all because of Mrs. Hughes, her 'mother.'

Mrs. Hughes had once promised Tina that her daughter would listen to her every command. Not only that, but Mrs. Hughes was the one who had given Tina the idea to use Denise to seduce Thomas.

"She came from a poor family, and if she hadn't caught my eye when she was a child because of her looks, she might've been sold by her family and be working as a prostitute by now. It's her blessing to be able to live such a comfortable life.

"Sleeping with Thomas once isn't going to do her any harm. If she's lucky and gets herself pregnant with Thomas' child, she'll be able to live the rest of her life worry-free.

"The best thing you can do is use this against Thomas to keep him tied to your side, but you can't overdo it either. If Thomas isn't willing to marry Denise, you shouldn't try to argue with him—think of it as Denise's loss.

"After all, with such modern technology nowadays, we can always reconstruct her hymen, and she'll be able to sleep with other rich men again…"

Mrs. Hughes and Tina's voices rang in her ear over and over.

Denise never thought that Mrs. Hughes, the woman who had treated her like her own daughter for so many years, turned out to be using her all along.

She never cared about Denise's thoughts or feelings. In her eyes, she was nothing more than a pretty girl who had managed to catch their attention.
