Josephine nodded. Since she didn't have anything planned for the afternoon, she decided to visit Moss Corporation. She contacted Conrad to have him take her there. Conrad arrived outside Styx Mansion an hour later and brought her to the company. Along the way, he gave her a status update on Moss Co
Horace trembled and said, "At least 2 billion."That left Josephine speechless. She looked at the two and asked, "Don't tell me you expect me to convince Lewis to be an investor."Conrad chuckled. "Mrs. Alvarez, 2 billion is nothing to Chairman Alvarez. Forget about 2 billion—he'll give you 20 billi
"Do what on purpose?"Josephine sat down before huffing. "I don't want Moss Corporation anymore. Take it back.""The only way I can take it back is to formally acquire it. After all, we can't just transfer shares among us casually. Are you saying this because you intend to sell the company to me?""
Josephine choked on her herbal concoction. Quickly setting down the bowl, she covered her mouth and coughed uncontrollably.The pitch-black concoction spilled from her mouth and nose. It dripped onto the ground through her trembling fingers.Amidst her coughing fits, a hand gently patted her back.A
Josephine still didn't quite understand. "But Mr. Fowler could buy the shares from other shareholders too. Why would he buy them from me?""Yeah, but their company is just going downhill, not yet to the point of bankruptcy. There are still dividends to be collected. Shareholders holding over 10 perc
Josephine's movements paused, and she looked at Conrad in astonishment. "What did you say?"Conrad was somewhat surprised by her reaction. "You didn't know?""I didn't know." Josephine furrowed her brows. Lewis was still blabbering about official business and bargaining with her yesterday.Yet he in
She was desperate back then and hoped that he would come through. She had hoped he would come to save the child for old times' sake.After all, it was his own flesh and blood.However, he didn't come. He didn't ask about the baby.Past memories surged up, and the ingrained sorrow overwhelmed Josephi
"Hey there, beauty. Who are you looking for?"A male voice resonated above her. Josephine instinctively looked up to find a man in his thirties or forties, wearing a suit and tie. She wasn't sure whether it was because the man didn't shave properly, but he had a beard.He didn't look like a good guy
"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
