Even though Thomas had at one point hated his father's guts, he was still his father at the end of the day.
Besides, even though Senior Howard had committed many mistakes in the past, he still displayed remorse and tried to make up for his mistakes after finding out that Tina and Dan had deceived him for so many years.
The truth was, this was more than enough.
Thomas believed that if Senior Howard had pulled through, he would continue finding ways to patch things up between them.
Sadly, fate had different plans. Senior Howard had passed away before he could do so and before he could even meet his own granddaughter.
At the thought of this, Thomas sighed and took Yannie's hand in his. "Let's go. We'll stop by to see Riley, then give my father a proper goodbye. After everything is settled, let's pay Joshua a visit to discuss what should happen from here on out."
Yannie nodded and curled her fingers around his.
According to Tina, Thomas was doing all this just to get his hands on the family fortune, but at this moment, she realized that Tina had been wrong.
The most important thing that mattered to Thomas was her and Riley, then his late father, and finally, the family business.
This was the biggest difference between Thomas and the mother-and-son duo, Tina and Dan.
Thomas placed the people in his life above all else, whereas Tina and Dan cared only about money. This was why Tina had been under the impression that Joshua was helping Thomas out of greed.
Thomas started the car and headed toward the hospital.
On the way, Yannie received a call from Luna, who was checking in on them.
"Don't worry; we've already left the police station." Yannie glanced at Thomas, who had his eyes on the road, and added, "But unfortunately, we still need you and Mr. Lynch to help us out at Howard Group for a little while longer. After what happened, we need to get things in order before returning to Howard Group."
Luna curled her lips into a smile at this sight. "Karma."
Joshua, too, smiled as he reached out to pull Luna into his arms. He gently stroked her head and said, "I'm sorry you had to go through this."
Luna paused and chuckled. "That's nothing."
After being with Joshua for so many years, she had gone through plenty of things, and being trapped by protestors…was just the tip of the iceberg.
However, there was one thing she was still confused about. "Why didn't you bring out the evidence sooner since you already had it with you?"
If Joshua had taken action sooner, the company would not have ended up in such chaos.
