Josephine sent out her message but only received another red exclamation mark in response. She huffed and couldn't help the bitter smile that appeared on her face—Lewis still had her blocked.The disappearance of the text made her start to doubt if she had fabricated it or dreamed about it. Mrs. Jin
"Your health isn't in any major danger, but refrain from running out on your own next time. It's too dangerous."Josephine suddenly remembered that she had left the house to visit Mrs. Jinkins. Retrieving her phone from the headboard, she typed out her question. "How did you find me?"Dr. Halliday s
There was a long silence in the room. Lewis eventually put down his arm and made way for her to leave. He said, "Don't simply enter this room without my permission next time."Josephine squeezed her fingers and nodded lightly. She then turned sideways and walked past him, leaving the office room. As
Josephine shook her head. She gestured, "I remember, but Mrs. Jinkins is missing. Do you know where she went?""What does that have to do with me? Josephine, you chose this path. Since you showed great backbone, why don't you look for her yourself?" Lewis replied.Josephine was taken aback. As she w
Josephine followed the address on her phone, leading her to the restaurant's second floor, where she discovered a private room. With a closed door before her, she stood outside and stared at the door's number plate for two minutes before finally summoning the courage to knock.A man's voice came fro
Mr. Walter's anger dissipated, and he chuckled. "That's more like it. Wine is good stuff. Nobody talks about business without drinking wine."Josephine looked displeased. The wine tasted horrible to her. After she emptied her glass, Mr. Walter grabbed the decanter and filled her glass again. He said
Struggling to keep her eyes open, Josephine succumbed to powerlessness as she closed them once more. Her head was spinning, and she was woozy. She had lost track of time and did not even feel it when Mr. Walter patted her cheeks. The only thought consuming Josephine's mind was how terrible the wine
Anonymous user 0458: "Fuck! Can't you just remove all her clothes?"Mr. Walter lifted the camera and featured Josephine, showing them the details of her delicate and soft skin. Mr. Walter was amazed. Although she was skinny, she had a curvy body.Josephine remained unconscious, but her eyelashes sud
"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.

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

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
