Lewis' smile was so warm and friendly that even Phineas felt chills."I'll set you free," Lewis answered. "And we'll become business partners from now on. I'll also give you a higher cut of the profits than Kiran did."Draco frowned in confusion. Did Lewis need money that badly? Then again, he recal
Leah chimed in, "How are they minor issues? You have diabetes, stomach troubles, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis …"She rambled on about many other disease names. Josephine became baffled. It was her first time encountering someone with so many illnesses. Although those weren't fatal, Emma mus
Avery's eyes widened in surprise. She involuntarily glanced toward the exit. Fortunately, Kiran's subordinates didn't enter the room.Carefully, she fetched a toolbox from the side and tapped Kiran's shoulder. "Stay calm. I'll change your bandages."Kiran was now completely drained. He simply allowe
Draco desperately pounded on the door. Phineas heard the loud bang on the old iron door and looked back.Seemingly unfazed by the commotion, Lewis continued to walk out.Phineas had to stay behind to ensure that nothing went wrong. He would be doomed if he let Draco escape.Draco continued to bang o
It seemed like Seth had no plans to leave. They couldn't get rid of him.Leah's house only had two rooms. There was no space for another person to stay.She had considered asking her neighbor next door if they could stay there for a few days, but neither of the two men wanted to go.Lewis claimed he
Avery blinked. She sighed in resignation and put her hand on the ground.Knowing she was doomed, she didn't even have the will to struggle. Never did she expect she would get knocked out by an injured man.She looked at Kiran and said, "If you want to kill or torture me, go ahead. But since I saved
Avery ranted for a while. She was so angry that she almost threw the water in her hand on Kiran's face."I should just leave you to die here alone."She stormed into the car, dragged Kiran out of the vehicle, and dropped him by the side of the road.She couldn't be bothered with him.Kiran suddenly
Avery tasted the crabs she roasted. The crabs were low on meat, but fortunately, she caught a bunch of them.She offered some to Kiran, but he thought they were disgusting. Sitting beside him, Avery savored the food.A subtle sound caught her attention as she indulged in her food.Avery paused and t
"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
