After snapping out of her momentary daze, Josephine stretched her lips into a light curl without responding to Quintin's promise.Another voice vaguely sounded in her mind at that moment."I'll take care of you forever."That voice started to overlap with Quintin's voice slowly. Just the memory of t
Quintin's expression was a mixture of sincerity and guilt he harbored for Josephine.Marriage had always been one's most important life event. Not only did he marry Josephine behind his family's back, but he also asked Josephine to leave the city with him, which was probably very distressing for her
"Got it! You two should get into the car quickly!"Quintin was still holding Josephine's hand. Just as they were about to get into Jack's car, an ear-piercing shriek suddenly blared.A black Bentley had sped down the road earlier before screeching to a halt at the roadside. As a result, filthy water
Surprised, Josephine just stared at Lewis in astonishment.Who the hell did that man think he was to be ordering her to divorce Quintin?At that moment, the young woman could feel anger starting to flood her senses. She gestured, "Why should I get a divorce?""You're not going to do it, huh?" Lewis
Quintin shoved the man away from him before straightening himself. His eyes grew cold as he stated, "That's impossible. I will never divorce Josephine. If you want to target the Fowler family, go ahead by all means. I don't have anything to do with those people anymore.""Is that so?"As Quintin sta
The first thing Conrad witnessed upon arriving at the City Hall was the sight of Lewis' wretched state.He didn't even have time to grab an umbrella. The moment he opened the car door, he rushed toward Lewis and quickly supported him. "Chairman Alvarez, are you alright?"Clearly, that was a stupid q
He was still impressed by Quintin's audacity. After all, that man did snatch someone else's ex-wife, infuriating him to the point of coughing out blood.Jack decided not to continue the topic once Josephine exited the room in her new clothes.Quintin turned around to look at her. She was currently d
Lewis leaned against the headboard, and his pale lips curled into a cold smirk."I'd like to gift them something, of course."Conrad could feel chills traveling up his spine when he noticed the smirk. What was Lewis up to this time?He had no idea what the so-called gift meant. Could it be that Lewi
"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
