"Why did you rush back so early in the morning?" Avery dusted herself off before helping Josephine up.Lewis glanced at the both of them before stopping his gaze at Josephine's face. He ignored Avery and asked, "Where are you going?""What does it have to do with you? Her legs are hers, she can go a
The news made Josephine’s blood curdle as chills ran up her spine, freezing her to the core. She stared at the television in a daze, Lewis' words filling her mind. "She won't have a chance."Josephine kept worrying about what Lewis would do to Avery. It turned out he had made Avery do something inst
Tyler was still the one who saw the bigger picture. If they insisted on arguing that the car was tampered with and fought with Lewis to the end, they would only lose out in the end. After all, Avery was the one behind the wheel, and Lewis played the cards. Talking to Lewis and asking him for forgive
At Magic Cube, Tyler was seated opposite Lewis. It was only the two of them today, but there was plenty of liquor on the table, and the large screen was playing a music video, albeit without sound. In contrast to the loud noises outside, the private room was incredibly solemn. Tyler poured himself
“That wouldn’t be a problem.” Tyler said as he nodded, “Is that all?”Lewis smirked, “Get this done first before anything.”As Tyler noticed his smirk, he felt nervous. It seemed like the problem wasn’t as simple as a restriction order. Something else must be going on.“You didn’t ship anything ille
Because the lights were on, Lewis saw her wince, and he paused. He grabbed her wrist and pulled up her sleeves. Her elbows were grazed, and he could see a big bruise forming. He then pulled on her collar, her shoulders revealing a patch of green.Lewis looked at Josephine, who had her eyes shut tigh
She knocked on the door. “Dad.”Mr. Green looked up at her, his appearance betraying his exhaustion, as well as his disappointment in her. “Why are you looking for me? You should be staying in your room.” “I’ll submit to a marriage of convenience,” she said. Mr. Green was taken aback. He looked a
Nobody knew how Seth and Daphne met. They had gotten married two years ago and Seth moved into the Alvarez Manor afterward. Josephine was slightly afraid of him. She took a step back and gestured, "Is anything wrong?"Seth smiled faintly. "I’m not sure. After you, Josephine." Even though he held o
"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
