"Arrik and his men are on their way to find him. We should have news soon.""Conrad," Lewis suddenly called out."Yes?""We had a necklace that resembled a bell among the items the crematorium staff brought here. Where is it now?"Conrad scratched his head and thought for a moment. "I believe you di
The surroundings were in shambles. Conrad and Lewis were in a mess, too.Both of them sat amidst the clutter, their clothes disheveled and dirtied. Conrad picked up a phone from the ground. The screen flickered intermittently.In this eerie place, the flashing light from the damaged phone added to t
Mrs. Larson followed her and said, "Mr. Alvarez has left.""Left? Where did he go?""I don't know exactly, but he left two days ago. I don't think he's in Elysium anymore.""What?" Sierra was shocked. She thought Lewis went somewhere. She hadn't expected him to leave Elysium."Did he say when he'll
"The stocks of Alvarez Corp hit a new low this month. The stock has declined since Sierra became chairman in December last year. Various industries under Alvarez Corp have started to go downhill. As of now, several industries of Alvarez Corp are stagnating ..."The television was reporting the lates
Josephine clenched her fist and smiled. "Of course."Two years had passed, and she believed she could continue to move forward. She had already let go of her feelings for Lewis. She wouldn't turn back now."Alright, don't stay up too late. Get some rest," Seth said after giving her the things and l
Lewis asserted, "Kiran is abroad most of the time. He doesn't have much influence domestically. He wouldn't stay in the country for so long, let alone train these assassins. If it's not Seth, who else could it be?"Other than these two guys, they couldn't think of any other suspects who would attemp
However, after traveling for not even two days, it started snowing again. Once again, they were forced to halt their journey.This start-stop journey continued until April. Even in April, there was still occasional snowfall, but they didn't last long. Most of the snow had melted, and only scattered
Josephine arrived in town. She stopped and glanced back.She didn't recognize the two dogs chasing her. She wasn't sure why they were after her, but they were gone now.She didn't dwell on it. Leading her horse with her, she headed to the express delivery station.She hadn't picked up her parcels fo
"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
