Josephine sobbed, and tears rolled down her cheeks.The wind from the window kept blowing into the room, giving her goosebumps.The two men held her down, and all her struggles were in vain.One of the men looked at her beautiful figure and gulped. Soon, madness took over the last trace of rationali
Quintin's eyes widened as he struggled to look toward where Lewis was sitting.The man sat arrogantly on the chair, gazing down at him with indifference, akin to a king passing judgment on a criminal.Lewis said, "Anyway, Mr. Quintin, I'll guarantee you receive better treatment than those guys did."
Chatters broke out in the room. It was chaotic.Lewis calmly smoked his cigarette and watched their performance as if observing acrobatic clowns.The conversation carried on for quite some time. After realizing that Lewis was silent, they gradually quieted down.Finally, all eyes turned to Lewis."W
Kiran said, "Robert's will has never been made public. It seems that the lawyer is already on Lewis' side. We can only start with him to obtain the latest will.""We can try," Seth said, playing with his phone, deep in thought.Kiran glanced at him and remarked, "I'm afraid you might switch sides su
Mrs. Larson happened to arrive with breakfast when Josephine came out of the bathroom.Knowing that Lewis was here, she brought two servings.The food she brought was bland. Josephine didn't like it, so she took only a few bites. After breakfast, she had to take a bunch of medicines.Josephine alway
Lewis played with the watch on his wrist. He stared at Warren, and they locked eyes for a moment.Then, he suddenly said, "I can't."Warren could barely hold back his anger, but Lewis quickly added, "But I can assure you it won't exceed three days."Suppressing his urge to explode, Warren swallowed
Taking a brief respite, Lewis let out a deep breath, and his face returned to its normal color. "I'm fine. What else do you want to try out?"Josephine scanned her surroundings and saw nothing that piqued her interest. She pointed somewhere else. "Let's take a look over there.""Sure."Their roles h
Perturbed, Conrad came to Josephine's ward. Josephine was sitting appropriately on the sofa, waiting for Lewis to return, only to see Conrad entering instead.She got up and trotted over to him, asking, "Where is Lewis?"Conrad sighed. "He's next door. What have you both been up to today?"Josephine
"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
