Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2846

Joshua was silent for a moment.

Even though he, too, did not want to hurt Luke's ego…

"I guess you don't have to say anything anymore." Luke raised his hand to touch his forehead in a defeated manner. "I can't believe it—my reputation's all gone."

To everyone else, Luke had always been the ruthless and invincible gangster, one whose dignity would never be challenged. Even his death was a chosen one—he willingly sacrificed himself for the woman he loved, as opposed to dying due to illness or combat.

However, he never thought that after his death, his subordinates would eventually find out he had been tricked out of his life…

The reputation he had so carefully built up over these years was destroyed.

Luke was so humiliated that he could not help willing for the ground beneath him to open up and swallow him whole right that instant.

"Not only did they find out, but they were even determined to come over to Saigen City and take revenge on the Miller and Hughes families," Thomas could not help adding. "They couldn't bear seeing their leader being tricked like this, so they were determined to make the culprits pay the price.

"Unfortunately, Saigen City is too far away from both Sea City and Merchant City. Even if your subordinates had come, they wouldn't be able to adapt to the weather conditions here anyway, but most importantly, Saigen City belongs to the Miller and Hughes families. No matter how many of them come, they won't stand a chance against the gangsters here.

"Therefore, Joshua and I managed to persuade them to give up on their plans. Instead, they agreed to send Jim's brother, Sean, over here to check on Steven and see whether you were doing well."

Luke furrowed his brow when he heard this. He turned to glance at Thomas as though he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he heaved a sigh and decided to stay quiet instead.

"Don't worry." Joshua patted his shoulder reassuringly. "Your subordinates never once laughed at your demise. Instead, they were so outraged by this that they wanted to avenge your death.
