"I carried you for ten months only to give birth to a monster! I deserved it!" Mrs. Jinkins said, tears falling down her face.She continued. "Look at the house you're staying in, the clothes you're wearing, and the car you're driving. Every single item was bought with the money you sucked dry from
Josephine gripped her phone tighter. Lewis didn't return the night before, and she had already changed her phone. Why could he still track her?Josephine was comforting herself, thinking that perhaps it was all just a coincidence. She decided to ignore the message and looked at Sam.Sam was still t
Patrick was furious. He already could not get the money, yet he had to install a security camera at home. Of course, he wouldn't agree to it.Sam said, "Sure, if you don't want to install one. Let's go to court, then. No matter what, this has to be resolved today.""You—" Patrick was so furious he w
Josephine shuddered uncontrollably in the car, perhaps because the radiator was not turned on.Sam noticed. He closed the windows of his car and turned on the radiator. "I'm sorry, I don't quite like the smell, so I forgot to turn it on."Josephine shook her head, saying that it was fine.When they
Josephine got up and looked intensely at Lewis, who had just entered.Lewis strode over to Josephine. He took off his coat and casually threw it on the sofa.He raised his fingers, hinting at the bodyguards by the door to leave. He calmly looked at Josephine's face. It had the feeling of calm before
Seeing Sophia give her an indifferent look, Sierra almost went mad.She was a domineering figure in the company; even Conrad had to show some respect toward her. However, Sophia did not give a damn about Sierra, so the woman was now classified as Sierra's number one rival, along with Josephine.Soph
Josephine widened her eyes and stared at the figure, sizing him up.It was Seth, and he was wearing a faint smile on his face.Josephine never would have guessed that the person who tied her up was him. She continued to struggle but to no avail. The ropes bound her hands and feet, leaving her with n
Conrad sighed and shook his head. "Nothing. What about on your end?"Tyler had a rather ugly expression. He shook his head with a darkened expression. "These two girls sure can run." He had contacted almost everyone he knew, yet he still couldn't find any leads on their whereabouts. They might not e
"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
