That was why Thomas’ subordinates had never heard of Malcolm Quinn.
They only knew that he was Lucifer Howard.
“He hasn’t returned in a long time.”
The driver sitting at the driver’s seat drove while furrowing his brow.
“Didn’t you instruct us not to care about him anymore? He was initially living with us, but a month or so ago, he accepted a call, and he suddenly becamerich.
He treated us to a meal and said that he was going to do great things, so he left our team.”
Then, the driver could nothelp but lament, “Later on, I heard that he was working for a rich man, but he screwed up.
Not only did they ask for his money back, but they also even beat him up.
I think he has broken a leg or a hand.
It’s terrible.”
Then, the driver looked at Thomas from the rearview mirror.
“Why did you suddenly bring him up? Should we get people to look for him?” “Yes.”
“He hasn’t returned in a long time.”

Then, the driver looked at Thomas from the rearview mirror.
“Why did you suddenly bring him up? Should we get people to look for him?” “Yes.”
Thomas fiddled with his phone.
His gaze darkened.
“Look for him.”
He did have some things he needed to settle with Malcolm.
In the evening, Bethan received Thomas’ phone call.
“Are you free?” “No.”
When talking to Thomas, Bethan was irritated as usual.
“Just spit it out.”
If she could, she did not want to deal with this man, even if hehad a good reason.
There were many things that, if he just checked properly, he would be able to find outthe truth.
Bethan did not believe that Thomas’ men were not capable of that.
Thomas did not investigate properly at all and was not willing to understand.
He only pinned crimes on her and Brettley just by his perception of Brettley.
He thought that they were all bad people.
Was he a good person, then? If he was truly kindhearted, why had he never tried to compensate Yannie after what happened more thana year ago? He only came to Merchant City after hearing from Malcolm that he had a child.
If Malcolm really took the responsibility for Yannie, would Yannie Fn%}fus? Riley end up like their currentsituation? At that thought, Bethan was furious.
If he was not her company’s spokesperson and they still had a contract worth millions, she would not want to talk to him at all.
“Even after you know that I’m Riley’s father, are you still going to treat me with this attitude?”
Thomas sighed and said seriously, “I want to properly talk to you.””About what?”
Bethan asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
She switched off her computer in her office while packing up.
“I plan on taking Riley and Yannie back to Saigen City.”
Thomas’ tone was low and calm.
“Well leave tomorrow.”
Bethan suddenly paused what she was doing.
“Who allowed it?”
Riley was still her and Brettley’s adopted daughter.
Without her permission, how dare Thomas just take Riley and Yannie like that? “Brettley,”
Thomas calmly replied.
Bethan stopped breathing the moment she heard Thomas say those words.
After a while, she took a deep breath. “Impossible.”
She did not believe that Brettley would not discuss with her letting Riley leave with Thomas.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself,” said Thomas, his voice sounding as though he was smiling, “I just came out from Brettley’s office.”
Bethan could not help but furrow her brow. She stopped her work and leaned back in her chair.”
What are you trying to do? Fine, even if you’re Riley’s father and you use your right as her father to take her away, why are you taking Yannie away?”
“Because…”
Thomas was silent for a while. “Because of yesterday’s incident. She’s now rumored to be my girlfriend, so we have to play the part.”
Then, he paused for a while. “Actually, it’s fine if you don’t see me. I just wanted to apologize to you in person.”
Bethan’s eyes widened. She was in a daze. Did she mishear him? Was Thomas Howard apologizing to her?
Perhaps he could guess her reaction that Thomas, on the other end of the line, chuckled. “You don’t have to be so surprised. I’ll admit that I didn’t investigate before harboring negative thoughts about you and Brettley. But, after all, Malcolin Quinn was close to you previously, I never would’ve thought….”
Thomas did not need to finish his sentence, but Bethan had guessed what he was going to say.
She bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Back then…
When she saw Malcolm next to Thomas, she had a bad impression of him. At this moment, with how Thomas admitted that he was lied to by Malcolm, she had a strange feeling in her heart
She held onto her phone in silence for a long time before slowly saying, “Where are we meeting?”
Her reply seemed to have stunned Thomas.
After a while, he said, “I thought you didn’t want to meet.”
Bethan massaged her glabella and looked at the express mail she received on her desk that day.”
I have a friend who’s a plastic surgeon. She thinks your face is so perfect that no human could make it. She likes you a lot.”
Thomas did not understand what she was trying to say. “So…”
