Chapter 2755 Denise's eyes were glossed with tears as she stared at them.

Gwen froze for a moment, then immediately glanced at Luna. "She..."

Luna rubbed her brow in exasperation. "I thought she was sleeping, so I removed the towel from her mouth so she wouldn't choke."

Neither of them had expected Denise to wake up in the middle of their conversation.

"I heard everything." Denise sighed when she noticed Luna's confusion and said solemnly, "I never ...thought things would turn out this way. Denise had always been a good actress.

Ever since she was a child, she had to learn ways of feigning obedience to steer attention away from her brother, so she picked up the skill of pretending to fall asleep whenever the adults wanted her to. Not only that, but she was even able to wake up 'on demand' to appease the adults.

Even though the adults gradually saw through her as she grew older, she could still fool unsuspecting people, including Luna and Gwen.

She had not been asleep this whole time at all. Instead, she had overheard everything Steven said about her, including Steven and Gwen's argument.

It turned out that Luna and Gwen had not been lying after all.

The reason Steven had woken up from his coma...was because he had stolen someone else's body. Gwen had not intruded into Kate and Steven's relationship at all. On the contrary, Kate had been the outsider all along.

Denise had already been shocked to learn all this, but she never thought that she would overhear her own parents choosing to abandon her. After living with the Hughes family for more than two decades, she was more than familiar with their voices and could recognize in an instant that the recording was real.

At the thought of this, Denise could not stop her tears from falling.

She never thought that the two people who loved and spoiled her would turn out to be such deceitful traitors. In their eyes, they never considered her as family, and she never mattered to them at all. One would not even abandon a pet so easily, much less a living, breathing human like her. Denise lifted her head to stare at Gwen and sniffed." Weren't you hoping for someone to help you collect

evidence of the Hughes and Miller families' wrongdoings? Since my brother refuses to help you, I can step in.

"Even though my parents have chosen to leave me for dead, they'll still pretend to welcome me home should you release me now. They won't suspect a thing, and even if their guards are up, it'll be far easier for me to spy on them than for you to do so.

Luna and Gwen exchanged a glance when they heard this. Finally, Luna turned to stare at Denise, frowning. "What do you want?

"You overheard our conversation, so you know very well that we can't forgive you for what you did to Thomas and Yannie. Therefore, even if you help us, we won't show you mercy in return.”

Denise curled her lips into a bitter smile. “I know that, but ...the reason I'm choosing to do this now is because I'm utterly disappointed.

"My parents-no, I mean, the Hughes family-had convinced me that I'll be able to marry Thomas if I got myself pregnant with his child, so I obeyed their wishes and did as they pleased. "However, not only did they choose to let me bear the consequences on my own, they even left me for dead the moment I screwed up..."

She lifted her head to meet Gwen's gaze. "I don't ask for anything in return for helping you, but I do have one wish. "I want you to show my brother mercy."
