Lewis' eyes sparkled when he noticed the fear in Josephine's eyes.He then retracted his hand and drove back to Styx Mansion.Once they reached home, Lewis headed to his study while Josephine retreated to her bedroom. There, she hid under the covers while recalling everything she had seen in the mor
Black dots started swimming before Josephine's vision. Still, she managed to stretch her hands with great difficulty and latched her fingers around Daphne's locks, thanks to her survival instincts.She tugged on the locks forcefully, causing Daphne to shriek in pain and release her immediately.Now
Daphne was shell-shocked for a while before finally realizing the meaning behind Lewis' suggestion."You want me to leave the country?""Take your husband and son along with you on an overseas trip. That way, you won't drive yourself crazy with your paranoia," Lewis patiently advised while acting as
"What did I do to you?" He continued to bombard Josephine with questions without any regard for her condition. "Tell me, what did I do to you to make you fear me this much?"Josephine closed her eyes upon hearing Lewis' accusatory questions. She was so frightened of him that even her eyelashes kept
Meanwhile, Daphne rushed back to Alvarez Manor. Seth didn't go to the company today, much to her surprise.He was on a phone call in the bedroom while looking quite serious. Daphne halted in her tracks and paid attention to the conversation carefully. Then again, Seth didn't say much.He kept echoin
"How would you know that?" Daphne asked, still unsure.Seth just smiled lightly in response. "That's because Lewis will definitely help you out. You are his biological sister, after all. He won't let you get imprisoned.""But he told me to leave the country.""The outcome is still the same even if y
Josephine exited the study and followed Conrad downstairs for dinner.She sat at the dining table quietly while eating her dinner absent-mindedly. It was apparent that her eyes weren't focused on anything at all.When Conrad noticed her spacing out, he couldn't help but frown. It was torturous for a
She accepted the medicine and slid them into her mouth before swallowing them without a word.Lewis kept staring at Josephine unblinkingly. Sensing his gaze, she instinctively raised her head and locked eyes with him.A glimmer of confusion emanated from his eyes, perplexing her in return. All she d
"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
