When Tina and Dan arrived at the police station, they bumped into Yannie and Thomas, who were on their way out.
The four of them crossed paths.
Yannie pursed her lips when she saw them and instinctively grasped Thomas' hand.
Just a few minutes ago, she had promised the cops that she would keep a stern eye on Thomas so he would not do anything rash after bailing him out. At this moment, when she caught sight of Tina and Dan, she instinctively tightened her grip on Thomas' to prevent him from acting rashly.
Thomas could sense her worry. He furrowed his brow slightly and curled his lips into a smile as he stared at Tina and Dan. "I'm assuming neither of you thought you'd end up here so soon, huh?"
Even though he had not known of Senior Howard's will and death before he was captured, the cops had enlightened him on the events that happened prior to his release.
Tina paused, clearly slightly surprised by Thomas' comment, then sneered. "You're right; I hadn't expected this at all. Who would've thought a dumbass like you could've found someone as smart as Joshua to help you out?"
She shot Thomas a disdainful look and added, "Don't you dare think that you've won—I lost to Joshua, but that doesn't mean I lost to you.
"If you hadn't sought out Joshua's help, this would never have happened. Your father was right; you're a useless fuck. If it weren't for Joshua, you'd still be in jail! You have nothing to be victorious about!"
The light in Thomas' eyes dimmed.
He narrowed his eyes, staring at Tina with a look so cold it was as though he wanted to murder her right on the spot.
When she saw this, Yannie quickly placed herself between them and stared at Tina, frowning. "I know you're just trying to provoke him so that he'd lose his cool and attack you. You're just doing this to drag him down with you, but I won't let you do that."
Thomas furrowed his brow upon hearing this. A glimmer of surprise and joy flashed through his eyes.
