Josephine finally typed her reply after reading the chat history. "I'm not planning anything."Quintin sent another message. "Where are you right now?"The young woman raised her head to look in the direction of the school gates. Then, she looked down and sent the address to Quintin.Whenever the la
A while later, he looked at Amelia. "Didn't he tell you anything after he got home?""What?"Lewis explained, "He visited me once. I told him my condition. Unfortunately, he refused to accept it."Amelia asked hurriedly, "What's your condition, Mr. Alvarez?""Simple. I want all of the Moss family's
Derek's appearance caused the atmosphere in the meeting room to tense up again.Amelia stood up hastily and moved to tug at his sleeve. "How did you get here?"Her son glared at her angrily. He snarled out, "Why are you meeting him?""I'm pleading for your sake! I can't just sit around and watch you
Lewis just smiled while snuffing out his cigarette. Then, he stood up and approached Kiran.His slender hands shot up to tidy Kiran's collar for him while effectively showing his care for the latter as his superior-slash-older brother. At the same time, he commented airily, "You are very dedicated t
The loud screeching sound of the brakes being applied made Josephine's scalp go numb. Thankfully, the car narrowly brushed past her. Her knees went weak immediately before she collapsed to the ground.A moment later, the car door was opened before a man got out of the car and stomped toward Josephin
"Maybe she's an actual mute. That's why she's trying to weasel money out of people because she's unable to survive without a job.""She can always beg for money on the streets! Why must she drag us down with her?"Josephine's hands froze in mid-air as she stared at the disgusted expressions on every
"Sir, I'm really sorry! Please let me go!"Rufus was no fool; the Maybach parked at the roadside had a fancy license plate number. A man of that caliber wasn't someone he could offend.Meanwhile, Josephine remained seated on the ground, staring at Lewis dumbfoundedly. He looked so familiar that she
Meanwhile, Mrs. Larson remembered what Lewis had ordered her earlier, so she opened the door and got ready to help Josephine down the stairs.The latter stared at the older woman for a moment before gesturing, "I'm not 'madam.'"Mrs. Larson looked surprised, but she managed to squeeze out an awkward
"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
