Josephine rushed out. She stared at the big crowd before her but couldn't find that figure again.Avery caught up with her. "Why are you running?"Josephine gazed blankly ahead. After some time, she retracted her gaze in disappointment. "I seem to have seen Phineas.""Isn't he in the hospital?"Jose
Alfie took a look at the picture. Donning a black suit, the man in the picture had his hands in his pockets. He had a smirk on his face as if he were mocking everyone present.Alfie felt somewhat offended by the photo.Nevertheless, the man in the photo was undeniably handsome. Feeling a bit insecur
Conrad also breathed a sigh of relief. "I see. Thanks a lot, Mr. Jones."Alfie waved it off with a smile. But then he noticed something amiss. "Wait, did you just say he's an employee of your company?"Conrad pretended to laugh. "Well, yes. I didn't expect him to be so capable."Alfie's mind started
However, the person ahead didn't turn back. Instead, a middle-aged man beside him glanced back at Josephine.He followed Josephine's gaze and noticed she was staring at Lewis."Do you know her?"Lewis paused but still didn't turn around. "No, I don't.""Well, I thought so. She even got your name wro
Josephine pushed open the door to the private room, only to find it empty.She glanced back at Conrad. "Are we in the wrong room?""No, this is the right room." Conrad double-checked on his phone. "Could he be running late?""Let's go in first." Josephine entered the room. The table was set with fru
Zachary realized he made a slip of the tongue. He quickly chuckled. "I'm not sure about the specifics. I'm just an ordinary employee."He even pinched his pinky finger and gestured to emphasize his point.Josephine smiled. "I got it. So, are you saying they are even more powerful than Kingdom Corpor
Zachary promised to bring Josephine to the funeral. When the day arrived, Josephine called him before the sky lit up.He lived alone, not far from her. He had purchased a house in the vicinity just to secure the deal with Jovance Corporation. The cost of the house was several times the value of the
Zachary pulled her aside and said, "You're on your own now. Be careful, okay?"Josephine nodded. "Got it, thanks."Zachary sighed. He wanted to advise her not to wander around. She might get into trouble due to the language barrier.But it seemed like his advice wouldn't sway her. He could only look
"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
