The ward was quiet. There was no one except for Quintin. A tube connected an intravenous bag to the back of his hand. More than half of the liquid was still in it; someone must have just changed it."Do you want to go check on him?" Lewis' voice rang out abruptly behind her.Shocked, Josephine shudd
It was Conrad. He paused when he saw Josephine. He didn't think she would be here. Could these two have made peace with each other?He dared not ask too much and quickly went to Lewis. "Yes, sir?"Lewis glanced at him. "Assign her a job."Conrad looked back at Josephine and restrained the questions
Owen's suggestion sat well with Josephine.The photography team comprised not one but eight smaller teams.Two of the more popular content creators under the company had more than ten million followers. They each had a specific photography team assigned to them.The remaining six teams were in charg
Yona folded her arms and leaned against the door. She looked at them calmly. "No reason. I just don't like her."Josephine frowned. They had just met for the first time. Why was Yona so hostile toward her?She had no idea how Yona's mind worked.Yet, Yona had already deemed Josephine a threat—not ju
Yona froze in the middle of opening the car door when she saw Lewis coming down from the Maybach. Her pupils constricted.He was …The man she saw was clad in a suit. He had a slender build and chiseled features. He stood quite near to where she was, and it was Yona's first time looking at him up cl
Yona shot her a glance. Suddenly, she pretended to be wronged and dabbed her sleeve at her eyes. She said, "I know you've always disliked me. You've always felt I'm not worthy of the scripts you wrote. But we're all in a team. We should always have each other's back. That's how we will make progres
Lewis was deep in thought. Suddenly, he looked at Yona. "What was it that you just said?"Yona was stunned. Then, she hurriedly repeated what she said. She ended her speech by dabbing at her eyes woefully. "The company can always terminate my contract if I'm no longer needed. Such an unfair treatmen
Lewis stroked his watch and looked contemplative as he stared into the distance.He asked out of nowhere, "Conrad, how long do you think she will stay in Elysium?"His abrupt question caught Conrad off guard. He followed Lewis' line of sight and realized he was talking about Josephine.Josephine and
"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
