The bodyguards lowered their heads. None of them dared to move. Silence engulfed the room, and they only heard the cremation chamber's crackling fire sounds.With a blank look on his face, Lewis froze on the spot. He shut his eyes, then stumbled two steps back.Conrad instantly stepped up to support
Lewis was in the hospital when he awoke. He opened his eyes and realized many people had crowded his ward."He's awake!" Conrad cried out with relief before rushing to get the doctor.In less than a minute, a doctor arrived and examined every part of Lewis' body in detail."How is he?" Conrad asked.
The man got so shocked that he teared up and stuttered, "I-I had no clue what was happening! I just prepared everything as told when I got the body! Before I could even start anything, someone knocked me unconscious. When I awoke, the person had taken all of my clothes! I almost thought a ghost did
Mrs. Larson ran to the store room and saw Lewis rummaging around the room. He seemed to be searching for something."Mr. Alvarez, what are you looking for? Let me help you find it."Mrs. Larson offered, but Lewis didn't respond. He continued searching on his own.After ferreting around a pile of ass
"I've already promised to release her. What else does she want?" He closed the notebook and lifted the urn. She's clearly punishing me."Mrs. Larson didn't know how to respond. Her lips twitched.Holding the urn, Lewis got up and went upstairs to the bedroom.He placed the urn on the bedside cabinet
Lewis was stunned for a second. He then turned his gaze to the television and chuckled softly.Mrs. Larson glanced at him hesitantly and left.Lewis had spent the night on the sofa, but by morning, he had returned to his normal self. He went to the dining room for breakfast and took the medication M
Conrad was stunned by her unexpected response.Sophia couldn't keep her composure anymore. She hastily exclaimed, "Why are you so sure before even doing a paternity test? Are you trying to deny me?"Hannah sighed and patiently replied, "Ms. Woods, I am really not your biological mother. If you still
Lewis' lips curled into a cold, scornful smile. "Now I know why he chose to support Kiran and remove me from Alvarez Corp."Nancy's expression stiffened. They both knew who Lewis meant.Nancy forced a smile. "You're overthinking things again. Who gave you this? It must be someone with ill intentions
"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.

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

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
