"What if something goes wrong, Lewis?""You'll still have me, won't you?" he replied. "Do you think I'd let you walk into the lion's den on your own? Besides, our top priority is to stop the mess Seth started. Our father won't be able to make any arrangements if we can. In fact, the best way would b
Lewis opened the box, revealing the exquisite diamond bracelet nestled inside.Josephine frowned. She didn't know if she should be disappointed or relieved.He took out the bracelet and put it on her wrist. "I forgot to get you a birthday present, so I'm making up for it with this."He buckled the b
Josephine had received the same phone call as well. The caretaker had told her Mrs. Jinkins wasn't going to make it. She wanted to ask what the situation was, but she couldn't speak and could only helplessly worry. Mrs. Jinkins was still fine when she left yesterday!"How do I refund the money to yo
"I've already complied with your demands, so why…didn't you spare her? I just happened to realize after I regained consciousness that I was in the same hospital as Mrs. Jinkins yesterday, hence why I paid her a visit. It wasn't as though I intentionally went out of my way to see her."He suddenly re
Lewis said without looking up, "Of course, we have to transfer it. Otherwise, we can't continue with the plan."The man was baffled but quickly nodded. "I understand. I will send someone to transfer the money later.""Okay," Lewis replied.After Daphne left, she gave Seth a call. Seth had not return
The call was placed to Lewis. The phone rang for a full minute, teetering on the brink of being disconnected, until finally, it got picked up. "What's up, Seth?" Lewis sounded normal, as if nothing had happened.Seth chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Daphne came to see me earlier and told me someth
"You're awake?" Lewis held her, and he let her rest her head on his shoulder.With her gaze fixed momentarily on his chin, Josephine's attention then shifted to the doctor, who remained on the ground. Her throat felt dry and scratchy from all the tears she shed earlier. She parted her mouth slightly
Josephine stared at Lewis' stormy eyes and grimaced as weariness overwhelmed her. With a resigned gesture, Josephine let her arms fall to her sides, surrendering to her fate. Powerlessly, she closed her eyes, as if accepting her impending slaughter.The way she looked made Lewis feel frustrated and
"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
