Chapter 2663 With that, Yannie turned and sprinted in Lucas‘ direction.
Since Yannie‘s mother, Mrs. Flores, used to work as a nanny for Luna and Joshua, Yannie was naturally familiar with
Lucas.
Thomas remained motionless, his lips curving into a small smile as he watched Yannie sprint nimbly towards Lucas.
That was his girl; kind, soft, and adorable.
However, the next second
Thomas watched as Yannie arrived at Lucas‘ side and, while talking to him, reached out to wipe the sweat from
Lucas‘ forehead.
His smile immediately froze on his face.

Why was she helping Lucas wipe his sweat? Could he not do it on his own? Did he not have hands that were capable
of accomplishing this task? Lucas instinctively glanced in Thomas‘ direction when he felt a cold, steely gaze on him.
His heart leaped into his throat when he met Thomas‘ gaze. Lucas immediately took a small step back and glanced
sheepishly at Yannie. “Sir ordered me to pretend as though I had found this metal plate by accident.” With that, he
reached out to Yannie and said, “Give it to me, then.”
Thomas was still watching him, so he did not dare to continue chatting with Yannie at all.
Yannie furrowed her brow, puzzled as to why Lucas seemed so unwilling to talk to her.
She wanted to continue the conversation, not because she had anything to share with Lucas, but because if her
interaction with Lucas was too short and abrupt, it would arouse Gwen‘s suspicion.
However, this was not what Lucas thought. Instead, he did not want to spend any minute longer than necessary
with Yannie, considering the fact that Thomas was watching him like a hawk
Therefore, Yannie had no choice but to return to Gwen and Luna‘s side after surreptitiously handing the metal plate
to Lucas. “How did it go?” Luna asked, frowning. Yannie paused for a moment before replying, “Lucas said he‘d
bring some more men over to help. As of now, he hasn‘t found anything yet, but don‘t worry. Mr. Lynch has so
many people to help that eventually, they‘ll find it, even if it means turning the whole place inside out.” Laying
against Luna‘s shoulder, guilt seeped into Gwen‘s heart as she watched the men rummaging around the garbage
for her.
These people were Joshua‘s bodyguards and some of his other employees.
All of them possessed their own tasks and responsibilities, but because of her, they were forced to come here and
rummage through garbage for her. Gwen truly cherished Luke‘s gift for her, but the last thing she wanted was to
trouble so many people.

Truth be told, she knew deep down that since she had lost it, there was no way anyone could find the metal plate
again...
“Why not...” Gwen bit her lip, glanced at the men in the distance, and said softly, “Luna, why don‘t we let these men
—” Before she could even finish, a cry of victory erupted somewhere in the distance. Lucas approached them,
followed by an earnest–looking man. “We‘ve found it! Ma‘am, Ms. Larson, Yannie, we‘ve found it! We finally found
it!”
Gwen‘s entire face lit up when she heard this.
She immediately sprinted over to their side in excitement. “Where is it?” The man handed her a small metal plate,
grinning. “Here it is!”
Gwen took the metal plate from him, but as soon as it was in her hand, her smile froze on her face. This...was not
hers at all!
