Lewis was an extremely efficient person. After Sierra mentioned that she was interested in the filming of the promotional video, he gave his assistant a call and got him to arrange it for her.However, they had already finalized their plans over at Playtime, so when they received the call from Lewis
Avery's smile faded. She gaped and grabbed Josephine's hands in hers. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to get you to come here. I didn't mean to block you. But since you're here, this means that you value me more than that asshole, right?" Josephine pressed her lips into a thin line as she stared at Avery
Avery pulled Josephine to sit down beside her. She crossed one leg over another and said, "Think about it. If thirty million isn't enough, I'll pay more."This was the first time Mr. Colson felt that it was a pain for someone to send money his way."Fine, I'll pay however much she's paying. Hah! You
Avery was so angry that she laughed. Staring at Mr. Colson, she said, "Why else do you think I'm wasting my time fighting with Sierra for a lousy promotional video, Mr. Colson? Do you think I have nothing better to do with my time?"Beads of perspiration formed on Mr. Colson's forehead as it slowly
"Come here, Josephine," Lewis called out to her.Avery immediately snapped back to look at Josephine, scowling at her. "Don't go."Josephine simply stood there helplessly. She slowly trudged over to him when she saw the cold glint in his eyes.But Avery reached out and held her back. "Why are you st
Mr. Casio sighed. His heart ached for the young lady in front of him. Pushing the food to her, he urged, "Go on, tuck in. We don't want the food to get cold."Josephine wiped her tears away and forced a smile.She picked up a fork and ate hastily, stuffing her mouth.From Mr. Casio's point of view,
Mr. and Mrs. Casio was very pleased with her work, and they even felt bad for not paying her any wages.Contrary to what Lewis believed, Josephine did not go back because she was suffering. In fact, she actually enjoyed it there.Mr. and Mrs. Casio treated her very well. They had their meals and wen
The tall, slender figure stood at the entrance with his back facing the sun, so Josephine could not see his face clearly. Her grip on the plate in her hands tightened subconsciously.She did not know why he would suddenly come looking for her. Shouldn't he be enjoying his time with Sierra now?"Are
"Daddy …" Serena murmured the two syllables. Then, she beamed brilliantly and repeated the word with more conviction. "Daddy!""Dada!" Elliot called out, too.Lewis smiled and reached out to pet Serena's head. "That's my little girl. Are you upset that I haven't come home all this time?"Serena shoo
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lewis asked.Josephine snapped out of her daze and shook her head. "I didn't think—""Didn't think what? Your parents are my parents. It's only fair that I give a proper gesture to my parents. What's so shocking about that?"Josephine had never heard him say su
"Well, we should visit your parents first—show them their grandkids. Plus, I don't think we need to return to Elysium anymore. We'll bring Serena over once we settle down. Let's stay here for a while," Lewis answered.Josephine nodded. She agreed that it was unnecessary to go back there since the co
Seth shot the former the side eye like he was looking at an idiot.Daxtor felt offended at once. His face darkened to his usual sternness. "Why? Are you unwilling to accept your actual identity?"Seth replied, "I hear the Leigh family is in trouble. I don't want to join a sinking ship.""About that.
Daxtor stopped reminiscing and cut to the chase. "Your mother was my first love. I'm probably hers, too."The two had dated when they were in school. They had deep feelings for each other, but their social statuses were too different. Daxtor had tried retaliating against his family and convincing h
Seth came in secret. Some things were easier to do here than in their home country. Still, doing so came with some risks. He said, "You two can forget about having a peaceful life if I hadn't come here. How do you plan to repay me, Lewis?"Lewis responded, "You can go home. We don't need you here."
Lewis fell silent. "Not so soon."Josephine didn't understand. "Do you have any matters left to resolve? Or ..."Or did he want to stay here? It seemed like they didn't have a place to return to.They didn't have a house in Hardington. Apart from the villa in Styx Mansion, nothing else belonged to t
The sudden blast created a disturbance, making the image tremble as static sounds disrupted the audio.The next moment, the signal was interrupted, and the TV screen went black.Although the screen had turned dark, Josephine had keenly noticed that something had exploded in the court.Blood scattere
Josephine didn't have much to do these days. Lewis was rarely home. Alone, she felt bored. Avery didn't want to visit her either.Avery wasn't on good terms with Lewis. So she tried to avoid running into him.Josephine didn't know what Lewis was up to. Avery seemed to have no acquaintances here but
