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
In a dimly lit room, the door was pushed open, and two individuals entered.The figure sitting in the corner moved slightly. The sound of chains clinking rang out in the room.His face was hidden in the darkness. Only a few rays of sunlight streamed in from the window fell upon his shoulders. It cas
Josephine walked out of the hospital in a daze. The brisk wind outside blew across her face."So, did I lie to you?"She raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She then saw Seth standing at the intersection. Leaning against his car with arms folded, he had a half-smile.She tried
"Seth pointed it out to me. I can't make heads or tails of all this." Josephine sighed. It was her first day at the company, and she already felt drained.Conrad chuckled. "You'll get used to it. It takes time."Then, he changed the topic. "But Seth might be useful here. You might progress more quic
Josephine's lips twitched. She couldn't find a way to respond to Seth's statement. She was torn between relief at entrusting these documents to him and anger at his remark about Lewis not returning. She wondered if she should kick him out of the office.The two of them locked eyes. The bright white
Surprisingly, he used his sleeve, not his muddy hands.Daphne was overwhelmed by a wave of emotion. She flashed him a bittersweet smile, but her tears kept falling."I'm sorry."She hugged Baron tightly and sobbed. "I'm sorry, Bambam. It's all Mommy's fault. Mommy's useless. I'm sorry for what happe
The three drunken men were momentarily stunned. Intoxicated, one of them had initially considered confronting the situation. But he immediately backed off upon noticing that the light was coming from a Porsche. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't mistaken and quickly ran back to the others.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
