Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)

Chapter 2753 Luna and Gwen fell silent upon hearing this. The entire room was quiet except for the sound of Denise's slow breathing.

Luna was a little caught off guard by this.

The audio clip continued to play out an argument between Steven and his parents.

"How can you say this, Father? She's my sister!"

"Steven, you know very well that your mother and I had adopted Denise. If it weren't for us, she would've been in a far worse place than she is now. The only reason we had adopted her-provided her with a comfortable life and took care of her like she was our own-was that we wanted her to contribute to this family.

"The only thing we asked of her in return was to marry Thomas so our family can become even more powerful and aid your career in the future.

"However, after so many years, not only did she fail in this, but she even allowed Thomas to bring home another woman and even a baby...

"She's lost all her value to our family, whereas we've done all we can to help her. If Joshua wants her to get out of Saigen City, then we have no choice but to follow."

Steven was shocked to hear this. "Father! How can you say that? Didn't we choose to adopt Denise because we love her? Besides, I never thought this was what you and Mother truly thought, considering how well you've treated Denise over the years!"

Mr. Hughes sneered. "You're right. We had adopted her because we love her, but she's still not our child, after all. Now that she's

gotten herself into trouble, how do you expect us to put our

livelihood at risk to save her-a daughter who can't even get her job done?

"Steven, you have to remember to always think about yourself first. It's only after ensuring our individual livelihood that we have the capability to help others and gain a good reputation in return. Otherwise, it'll all be for naught!"

Steven was rendered speechless by this. After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "How about you, Mother? Denise is your favorite, and you love her more than anything. Do-"

"I agree with your father, Mrs. Hughes cut him off curtly before he could even finish."Steven, you've been in a coma for five years, so we don't blame you for the fact that your thoughts remain in a state of the past, but even considering this, you can't continue to be blind to reality."

"Blind to reality, you say?" Steven let out a bitter chuckle and said with a hint of helplessness, "Does everything you do have to be measured by the degree of contribution to this family?" "Why would you think otherwise?" Mr. Hughes continued frostily, "Steven, your mother is right: Your thoughts remain in a state of the past, but you can't choose to be blind to the truth. You have to grow up now and leave those naive thoughts behind.

"Denise has nothing to do with this family anymore, and I'll let Joshua know that he can choose to do anything he wants to Denise; we will no longer care. "At the same time, he'll have to promise us that he won't cut off business with Hughes Group."
