Chapter 2759
Gwen could no longer hear anything Steven said after that.
She bit her lip, and despite her gaze remaining on the laptop screen, her thoughts had already drifted far, far
away.
These days, all her interactions and conversations with Steven flashed through her mind.
Then, a memory of Luke.
The two of them were lying on the roof at midnight, stargazing, with Luke’s arms around her.
He curled his lips into a smile and said, “Gwen, sometimes I really wish we could go back in time.
“If only I hadn’t gone into this business, and if only I had met you before I became a gangster.

background and education.
“If I were someone like that, no one would ever dare to bring up your past, and everyone would give us their
blessings.
“Gwen, I really hope that if we do meet again in our next
lives, we won’t have to deal with something like this again.”
Gwen bit her lip and wrung her hands when she recalled this.
When Luke had said this to her, she thought he was just spouting nonsense.
It was after a long time that she finally realized these were his deepest, most heartfelt thoughts.
He truly thought he was not good enough for her, and he blamed himself for the things that happened to her, which
was why he had chosen to sacrifice his life in exchange for hers.
However, by chance, he accidentally became Steven, the kind, handsome gentleman he spoke of.
Gwen closed her eyes.
Denise was right; she had misunderstood Steven.
When Steven first said he would return Luke’s body, she thought he was just trying to provoke her. This was why
she was so furious when she heard this.
However, at this moment, she could not help second guessing herself when she heard the recording.
She had slipped this recording device into his pocket without him noticing, so Steven could not have known they
were eavesdropping on him.
Therefore, all the things they overheard…were his true thoughts.

you’d leave my brother alone after all this is over?
“Your existence causes him tremendous guilt, and he truly wants to return everything to you and Luke.
“He’s a kind–hearted soul, and he’d rather sacrifice himself just to return what was rightfully yours and Luke’s. He’s
not the selfish person that you think he is.”
A twinge of pain shot through Gwen’s heart.
A split second later, she opened her eyes and turned to stare at Denise. “Don’t worry; I promise I will stay away
from Steven after all this is over.”
Steven would never force her and Luke to stay apart just for himself, so how could she let such a selfless person
give his life up for her?
She was the one who should not even exist.
