"What should I do then, Mr. Fairchild?""Don't forget she's still Quintin's wife. If word of this spreads, the few of you will be in trouble."Lewis' lips curved into a smile as he stared meaningfully at Seth. Lewis replied slowly, "I knew you were excellent in your job, but I didn't know you'd show
Lewis watched her impassively and witnessed her tear off another page.Conrad stole a glimpse at Lewis. Wasn't he going to stop her?When Josephine took yet another document, Conrad could finally take it no more and lunged forward to hold onto it. His voice trembled as he said, "Y-You can't tear thi
Damian carefully answered the phone as he plastered on a smile, "Mr. Berg, how can I help you?"Conrad replied, "I'm just wondering whether your son has signed the divorce agreement, and is it convenient for me to send someone to get it from you now?"Damian didn't look too well. He hemmed and hawed
Nancy thought about it and acknowledged that Lewis had a valid point. It was common for Robert to stay out for days on end in the past, but not to the extent of ignoring her calls and texts. He would also inform her of where he went. However, he left without a word and vanished into thin air this ti
Josephine didn't know how she ended up in bed with a dizzy spell. Her eyelids grew heavier as she looked at the figure on top of her.This game wasn't fun at all.Lewis was whispering to her, but she couldn't hear him clearly. He sounded distant and indistinct, like he was speaking to her from the h
Lewis still acted calmly. "Let's find him first."Nancy said hesitantly, "Why do I have the feeling that he has eloped with that woman?"Robert was a scumbag, but he never spoke ill of Layla after all these years and still had photos of them together in his study. He explained that he found it troub
"Besides, you don't like children anyway, do you? You said so last year," said Daphne.Lewis abruptly laughed. "You people are just amazing," said Lewis in a neutral tone. He mercilessly hung up and left.Daphne's heart almost stopped beating as she stared after his silhouette. "Lewis …"Lewis left
Nancy's shoulders trembled as she turned stiffly. Upon laying eyes on the grisly sight in the bag, her breathing stifled, and her eyes rolled upward as she fainted.Lewis hurled the watch back in and checked the other bag. He asked, "That's too few. It's not complete, is it?""Yes, we only found som
"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
