Chapter 2875
Mrs. Hughes glowered at the woman standing before her. “What the hell do you want now?”
She had already said what she wanted to, so this woman must have been out of her mind to think she would sit with
them and have a meal together!
“Mrs. Hughes.” Gwen smiled at her. “Steven and I have already ordered, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave just
like that, would it? And besides…”
She curled her lips into a smirk and tucked her hair behind her ear. “You claim that you’d never approve of our
relationship and seem as though you care a lot about Steven’s wellbeing…but you don’t seem to be concerned
about him at all.
“Don’t you think it’s a little absurd to want him to obey your commands, considering neither of you showed him any

and caring parents?”
Both Mr. and Mrs. Hughes furrowed their brows upon hearing this.
Mr. Hughes paused for a moment, then reached out to tug on his wife’s sleeve. “She…she’s right.”
They had been so preoccupied with their personal lives that they neglected Steven, which led to this woman having
the opportunity to pounce on him.
If they had placed all their attention on Steven, he would not have acted out in this way at all.
“What do you mean, she’s right?” Mrs. Hughes scowled at this. “Didn’t you notice that she seems to be desperate
to stall us?”
If this woman truly wanted to be with Steven, she would be overjoyed at their mistreatment toward him, which
would push him right into her arms.
Instead, she was blocking their way and demanding that they did not care about Steven and insisted they start
showing their concern towards him more.
It was clear she was trying to buy time!
Mrs. Hughes frowned at this thought.
What would she be trying to buy time for?
She stared at Gwen for a long time before finally being hit with realization.
Gwen had admitted that she knew of Denise and Sean’s whereabouts!
Not only was she aware that Denise had been sold to Mr. Hoffman, but she even knew that Sean was being
imprisoned somewhere.
She was trying to keep them here…
Mrs. Hughes picked up her phone and dialed the butler’s number. “Go to the jail cell at the furthermost corner of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe dungeon and see if that Sean fellow is still there!”
As she said this, she grabbed hold of her husband’s hand and stormed past Gwen.
She had just taken two steps when she froze and turned to glance at Gwen, who had turned pale with fear. “You
were trying to provoke me so that I’d stay here to argue with you, and your friends would have time to rescue
them, weren’t you? Well, you’re a smart woman, but sadly, your plan isn’t foolproof!”
With that, she shot Gwen a disdainful look and added, “You’re far too young to be competing with me,

honey.”
With that, she turned and stormed out of the room, dragging Mr. Hughes behind her, and headed back to the hotel
where they had left Denise and Mr. Hoffman.
She wanted to make sure whether Denise had been taken.
Sean did not matter as much. Denise was the most important pawn at this moment, and they could not
lose her!
