Lewis sneered, "No one? No one sent you? Then why did you target her as soon as she got off the plane?"The two men's faces fell.Lewis continued, "Stop hiding. Come out."After he spoke, the alley remained empty and silent. "What are you babbling about, kid?"Lewis calmly looked at them. "Didn't y
"Get out." Lewis' tone was unfriendly, and he sounded somewhat weak.Sensing this, Sierra nervously grabbed his arm. "Lewis, what's wrong? Are you hurt?"Lewis turned his gaze towards her, his eyes icy. Sierra felt her scalp tingle."I told you to get out of the car."Feeling slightly aggrieved, Si
If it wasn't for the fact that Lewis had ditched Josephine in order to save Sierra, she wouldn't have gone missing.Lewis had to be the one taking responsibility for this incident.Then again, her disappearance didn't matter.Josephine was just a mute who didn't have anyone to turn to. Even if she w
Taking a seat beside him, she observed silently. After he smoked three cigarettes in a row, Sierra decided it was time to speak up. "Lewis, you should rest for a while. You didn't sleep at all last night."However, Lewis continued to ignore her."Josephine's an adult, you know. It's impossible for h
Seth trampled on the grass as he headed toward the mansion slowly.The moment he pushed the rusted iron gates open, they let out a loud creak.It was easy for him to wade through the tall weeds.There wasn't any trace of a smile on Seth's face when he stopped in front of the mansion. If Lewis had be
The man let out a light chuckle. "If you didn't know what this place is, then how did you get here in the first place?"Josephine gestured, "I don't know."Her companion stared at her fingers silently for a long time before he murmured under his breath, "You don't know."That phrase sounded extremel
Seth closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath as he attempted to calm himself down. After a moment, he nodded slightly. "Yes. It's me."Immediately after, he added, "Have you been staying here all these years?"Paul nodded in response, a hint of excitement now present on his distorted face. "Yes! I'
"How could that be?" Paul found it difficult to believe Seth's claims. "The Vance and the Alvarez families shared such a close relationship! Master Edward and Master Alan had been best friends for so many years, not to mention Master Alan even took a bullet for Master Edward! There's no way the Alva
"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
