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
Josephine stared at Ellie and the man beside her.The man, dressed in a crimson tuxedo, had short wavy hair that framed his face, combining elements of masculinity and femininity. A faint smile played on his lips.However, it was safe to say he didn't look feminine. He was 6 feet 2 inches tall. With
It was already morning when Josephine woke up.She clambered up from bed in a daze. She felt an excruciating pain when her palm came in contact with the sheets.Josephine intuitively raised her hands before her eyes. Both were in bandages. Wounds were also all over her fingertips and had Band-Aids o
It was a red winter dress. It resembled a sweater dress—possibly modified—with a ring of white fur at the collar and cuffs. It looked childish.However, seeing Seth's steadfast stare, Josephine took the dress and entered the walk-in closet to change.After she changed, Seth pulled her to the mirror.
However, Lewis didn't allow Josephine time to think. He let go of her, got out from under the sheets, picked up the clothes Conrad brought him, and took off the hospital gown.He started changing right before Josephine.Josephine's gaze never left him. She saw the bandage around his chest after he t
Josephine was taken aback. She didn't understand a word of the content, but she could read the title of the agreement. It read, "Equity Transfer Agreement."Puzzled, she looked at Lewis inquiringly.Derek asked, "Lewis, what do you mean by that? Are you handing over Moss Corporation to a …"He didn'
"Congratulations," said Derek blandly with a faint hint of scorn.Lewis said, "Congratulations to you too. You can retire earlier and enjoy your life now."Derek's face changed. He glared at Lewis coldly and left.He had lost his wife and son, and now he lost his company too. How could Lewis say tha
Lewis stopped in his tracks before shooting Conrad a sideways glance."Seem?"Conrad looked a little surprised. "Um, that's what he said over the phone.""You should think before you speak, Conrad. Report back to me once you find out what actually happened."The assistant wiped the sweat off his bro
"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
