Daphne brought Baron back to Alvarez Manor but got stopped at the main gates before she could even enter. Her brows furrowed at the two security guards. She snapped, "What's the meaning of this? Do you not recognize me anymore?"She didn't know the security guards since she seldom paid attention to
"See? Your son's still alive and well. That proves I'm kinder than you. Besides, he's your son, not mine. I have no obligation to raise him. What right do you have to criticize my actions?"The two's status had flipped. If this had happened three years ago, Sierra wouldn't have dared to say such thi
Would a cruel person like Seth help Daphne? Why didn't he care about Baron these past few years if he were willing to help? Daphne couldn't convince herself that Seth was the one helping her. She believed Lewis was more likely to do it.At that thought, the man said, "Mr. Alvarez asked me to come.
Avery answered, "Why worry about that? We'll just go wherever you want to go. Once you tire of traveling and don't want to explore the world anymore, we can head back to my home. "Or, we could settle down in a nice countryside. We can go anywhere as long as we have money."Josephine took in Avery's
Avery shot Quintin an annoyed glance. "What's the use of saying this now? Can you stop chattering and figure out a way to get back?" Quintin shut up and dared not say anything again. The wind blowing through the rugged terrain made all three of them shiver."How about walking back?" suggested Quint
Upon hearing this, Lewis jolted up from the couch. "What did you say?" Phineas stuttered as he repeated, "Mrs. Alvarez and the others ... They're gone."Furrowing his brows, Lewis stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He gazed at the night scene outside and pondered.Soon, he arrived
Seth sneered. "Are you sure he's the one you want to kill? Looks like you dream big. Are you perhaps thinking of a double kill?""How could that be? Does Josephine mean so much to you?""It seems like I've really done a good deed."Seth hung up the phone. A cold smile crept onto his lips. No doubt,
Soon, the night turned dark. Avery sneakily checked the situation outside the door. She ran back and forth several times. Josephine sat on the ground and watched her nervously. She was afraid that Avery would rush out. Avery sighed and tip-toed back before sitting down beside Josephine."These peop
"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
