When Thomas and Yannie arrived at Hughes Residence, the whole place seemed to be in chaos.
Mr. and Mrs. Hughes could not seem to get in touch with Steven at all, nor could they find Denise anywhere. The two of them were absolutely sick with worry.
At this moment, Kate was sitting elegantly on the sofa, consoling Mrs. Hughes as best as she could while ordering her men to go in search of the missing siblings. "Mrs. Hughes, please don't overthink this. Steven and Denise are grown-ups now, so I'm sure they're fine.
"Perhaps they've found a private place to catch up as brother and sister."

She took out her phone and showed Kate the video that was taken at the entrance of Howard Group. "Look at this! Steven was at Howard Group this morning, and he even stood up for that bitch, Gwen!
"Since Denise didn't leave the house with him, they're probably not together at this moment!"
The more she thought about this, the more upset Mrs. Hughes became. "Steven must be with that bitch right now. We must find them immediately and bring Steven home as soon as possible!"
"She's right." Mr. Hughes sighed. "Steven is a kind soul, and that Gwen certainly is a looker. If Steven can't resist her deceit and end up agreeing to help her recover Luke's memories…that would be a disaster."
Mrs. Hughes burst into tears when she heard this. "That's right. That body belongs to Luke, but we forcefully erased all his memories and consciousness to replace them with Steven's. If they somehow find a way to recover Luke's consciousness…all our efforts would've been for nothing!"
With that, she turned to stare at Kate longingly as though seeking an answer from her. "Katie, tell me, will it be hard for them to find a way to retrieve Luke's memories?"
"Yes, it will." Kate nodded when she saw the concern in Mrs. Hughes' eyes. "Don't worry. We've spent a lot of time and effort erasing Luke's memories in the first place, so it definitely won't be easy trying to retrieve it. However…"
