"I won't go see him," Josephine replied, her voice still somewhat weak. She had no intention of seeing Lewis again, and if possible, she didn't want to see Seth either. She didn't want to see any of them."It's best that you don't. If I find out you have any contact with Lewis ..." Seth began, but
Sierra, who had lost hope in life, was now filled with a blazing sense of hope. She began to envision how she would look like in the future. Despite her severe burns, she believed she could undergo cosmetic surgery to restore her appearance with enough money.Nancy felt anxious but was willing to g
Lewis remained indifferent throughout."Is that all?"Sierra was stunned. Upon hearing his cold tone, she felt her heart fall."Lewis, don't you think it's a good idea?" Sierra had learned to read his face after being with him for so long. She could sense something from his reaction.Lewis chuckled.
Heavy rainfall came overnight. Lightning and thunder struck outside Styx Mansion as it rained intensely.Lewis abruptly opened his eyes. The rain was so loud that it almost overshadowed the television's noise. He picked up the remote and turned up the volume. Suddenly, Darren opened the front door
When Tyler found Avery, the latter had knelt on the ground while trembling. Avery covered her ears and shut her eyes tightly. The videos were a lethal blow to Avery, who had experienced a car crash before. She was already traumatized by it, so watching the videos for one hour was enough to undo he
Lewis retracted his gaze, then walked to the window with a blank mind. He gazed at the ground outside while taking out a notebook. His fingers grazed over the cracks on its cover, where he had glued every piece together. "We've wasted too much time."Upon seeing that notebook, Conrad sighed. He kne
In truth, she felt it was time to give Sierra an identity. Soon enough, she contacted several major media outlets and planned to have the conference three days later.Conrad reported that to Lewis, who knelt and fed his dogs. Lewis didn't bother reacting when he heard about the press conference. He
Nancy paled at once. It turned out that everyone had shown up, and there were more reporters than she imagined. Nancy never planned to reveal Lewis' identity. While it would negatively affect Lewis, she would still suffer the most. How could she maintain her reputation if others learned she had us
"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
