Quintin's knuckles whitened instantly. His grip on his phone was so strong that one would have thought he would break his phone on the spot.Jack wasn't just his friend; he was his younger brother as well. Quintin became friends with Jack when the latter was only ten years old, so naturally, he view
Lewis remained seated on a chair with his legs crossed while smoking impassively. A dozen well-built bodyguards fanned around him, and they were all staring at Jack without any expressions.Ellie, the person in charge, stood on Jack's left. She was in her late 50s with a head full of gray hair. Tear
The bodyguard immediately snapped out of his trance and nodded again. Then, he aimed it at Jack's middle finger and attempted to slice it off."Stop it!"Quintin's hysterical voice boomed from the entrance. He rushed into the warehouse, almost tripping over his own feet as he ran. At the same time,
Lewis chuckled in response. "Are you negotiating with me?"Stunned, Quintin didn't know what to say.It was true that he didn't have the right to negotiate with Lewis at a time like this.He bowed his head to look at Jack, who was dying in his arms. At the same time, his fingers tightened around his
The bodyguard was stunned upon hearing the order.Quintin was the same, but he started howling with laughter soon enough, making him look like a lunatic. "I hit the nail on the head, didn't I? You must be humiliated and angry now, right? You deserve that, Lewis Alvarez! Hahahahaha!"All Lewis had to
Instead, he could feel warm liquid dripping on his forehead. He felt a drop, which soon became two drops and more. The man's eyes flew open instantly. He was surprised to see Josephine kneeling in front of him while gripping the bodyguard's blade with all her might.She gritted her teeth quietly wh
The frost on Lewis' expression was evident, and his eyes were as icy as glaciers."N-No …" As Josephine panted, a syllable stumbled out from her lips.Quintin's eyes widened as he stared at Josephine in surprise.She actually spoke!Just as Quintin was about to dismiss that as him being delusional i
Lewis had regained his composure. He looked aloofly at Damian and said, "It's nothing more than a game between your son and me. What's with all these people you brought, Mr. Fowler?"Damian would be mad to believe him. If he hadn't led the police here, Lewis could have gotten rid of him and Quintin
"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
