Josephine opened the document folder. Her breath hitched when she saw the capitalized words "Asset Verification Agreement" on the first page. It was an asset verification and not a transfer of assets. That meant those assets had always belonged to her.With trembling fingers, she flipped to the nex
So, it would be better if fewer people knew about Lewis' disappearance. That way, Conrad could prevent internal chaos in the company.Otherwise, those associated with the company may start unnecessary trouble if they knew Josephine was now in charge.Josephine realized how severe the matter was afte
Lewis would've retorted if he were here. Nobody responded to Josephine, so silence ensued after she said that. She approached the crib to pick up the baby. After so long, most of the baby's folds had smoothed out. The baby now had flawless and plump skin, coupled with drool leaking from its lips.
The child held Daphne's hand tightly while following her every step.Josephine and Avery's stares were so intense that Daphne could feel them on her and turned to look at them. Daphne paled once she saw Josephine. In a panic, Daphne tried to hide Baron behind her. She had done so many terrible thin
The two fell silent and didn't know what to say.It took a while before Daphne piped up, "I'll be on my way if there's nothing else you wish to discuss."Josephine nodded.Daphne bent over to pick Baron up before racing out of their sight.Avery watched as Daphne walked away. Then, she smacked her l
Josephine pursed her lips before picking up the fried chicken. Seeing the greasy chicken made her lose her appetite. "Well? Why aren't you eating?" Avery questioned.After a brief silence, Josephine forced herself to eat a bite. Little did she expect the greasy sensation to turn her stomach at once
Josephine looked up at the night sky outside. She was still reeling from the dream and felt confused. She couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. She turned to look at the laptop screen, which had darkened for a long time. It turned out that she had fallen asleep at some point. The time i
With a chuckle, he strolled out of the office without a care in the world.Conrad entered the office and hesitantly said, "We'll be in trouble if he joins another company and targets us. "Not to mention, he knows about Master Lewis' disappearance. Things will be bad if he leaks that information to
"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
