Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2793

Steven paused when he heard this. "Perhaps that's the reason Senior Howard died so suddenly."

Lucas, Luna, and Gwen froze when they heard this.

A split second later, Luna furrowed her brow. "Are you saying that…"

"Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?" Steven narrowed his eyes. "Just as Thomas and Joshua are about to succeed, Senior Howard dies out of the blue. If Thomas succeeded in his conquest, the people who'd suffer the most dramatic losses are not Senior Howard at all but Tina and her son, Dan.

"Besides, they're the only people who were anywhere near Senior Howard last night. If Senior Howard dies, not only will it let Thomas and Joshua's efforts go to waste, but Thomas will even be accused as a murderer who shot his father…"

"You're right," a clear voice interrupted him.

Joshua stepped out of the elevator, staring at Steven with an impressed look. "The people who would benefit the most from Senior Howard's death are Tina and Dan. Not only that, but the timeline matches too. Most importantly, however—"

He handed Steven a folder and said, "Look at these people outside."

Steven furrowed his brow, took the folder from Joshua, and flipped through it.

His eyes widened in shock. "The people outside have nothing to do with Howard Group at all?"

If so, why did they claim to be employees and investors of Howard Group?

Steven knew that he was the perfect candidate to help Joshua.

He was a local and the wealthiest man in Saigen City, too. Everyone, even the police, would definitely place him as a priority.

He did not even need to say much—his mere presence was already enough.

Nonetheless, Steven was a little surprised by this. He was nothing but an acquaintance to Joshua, so why would Joshua hand over such an important task to him?

"You're not a stranger to me." Joshua smiled as though he could understand exactly what Steven was thinking. "You used to be my best friend."
