"The two groups are fighting." Winston observed the cars racing on the road outside. He then turned to look at Seth.Seth tilted his head and watched the cars with great interest. He casually remarked, "What a pity. Looks like we'll need to find a new business partner again."Hearing his indifferent
The subordinates Draco brought got wiped out. Even Draco retreated with a limp as his arm and leg had gotten shot. Even so, he pushed through the pain with his will to survive. It boosted his tolerance significantly as he dragged his injured leg down a long path.Still, his pursuers chased after him
"Got it. Keep driving." Darren nodded, then sped up to drive away from Dalton's territory. Now that Dalton's gang had lost their leader, they were likely experiencing internal chaos and wouldn't have the time to worry about Draco.After driving to the end of the narrow path, Darren reunited with Ph
Josephine hid beneath the windows while clenching her fists nervously. She waited for a long time before getting up to peer out the window.Because it was so noisy outside, she assumed Kiran had gotten into a fight with someone or was chased away. Little did she expect to see him approach her buildi
As for Leah, she had run a distance away and realized Kiran wasn't chasing her. So, she headed back to yell at Kiran from a distance away. "Hey!"Kiran whipped his head around in her direction.Leah raised her gun before pulling the trigger at him. Alas, she wasn't good at shooting. Leah failed to s
Kiran blinked to process those words. Then, a sharp whistle filled the air as several black cars raced over. Kiran's subordinates couldn't avoid the vehicles in time, so several got knocked over.Kiran turned to glower with murderous rage at Lewis. To everyone's surprise, he ignored the severe woun
"It doesn't matter if you're not the boss. I'm happy enough if you give me something to do," Leah insisted.Josephine couldn't make that decision. She couldn't let Leah stay by her side when she could barely keep herself safe. So, she changed the topic. "What did your mom do before moving here?""Sh
Silence filled the ward for some time. Birds chirped in a frenzy outside the window, and it annoyed Lewis. After a moment, he added, "Forget it. I don't need to go to a hospital. I know my body best."Josephine snapped out of her thoughts. Complicated emotions engulfed her as she looked at him. "So
"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
