Phineas stood rooted to the ground for a while. A thought flashed across his mind, and he started running.But not long after, Josephine's voice rang out. "Phineas!"Phineas was stunned. He was torn between escaping and staying. He gritted his teeth, and before he could make a decision, Josephine sp
Phineas looked somewhat embarrassed. "I ... I was trying to find a way to get close to Devin, the second son of the Leighs."But after all this time, he still hadn't found a way to approach him. He wanted to seek help several times, but recalling Lewis' instructions, he gave up.Besides, he secretly
Conrad said, "Forget about him. Master Alvarez is our priority. The fact that he won't even see Phineas indicates that he must be suffering in the Leighs. I'm sure there are other people besides Devin who are looking for him.""Yeah." Josephine lifted her head and watched the raindrops fall on the r
Conrad and Josephine had the same thought. Of course, it was just their speculation. Only Phineas knew Lewis' plan.Josephine said, "Go find Phineas. Provide him with funds if he needs it. Now that Vixon's stock market is declining rapidly, it's the best opportunity to collect scattered stocks.""Go
They might have investigated her while looking into Lewis. But she was just an insignificant figure without power or influence. They were probably unaware that she was the owner of Jovance Corporation.Hence, she posed no threat to them. Moreover, her approaching Lewis could help them test if he gen
The housekeeper looked a bit embarrassed. "It's okay. Just contact the management if you have any issues next time. You can take these fruits back."Josephine stared at the housekeeper. It seemed like gaining entry to the villa would pose quite a challenge. She smiled. "I guess it's not convenient f
An intense pain shot up Josephine's body. She struggled to balance herself, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.Lewis said, "Why do you keep popping up everywhere?"Josephine was stunned. She might have been upset hearing this last time. But now, she felt like she could see through the man's
The old lady looked up and stared blankly at Josephine.After a brief silence, she raised her hand to grab Jewel's hand. "Jewel, don't be angry. I'll clean up right away."Calming down after the outburst, Jewel stared straight at her.She bent down to help her mother up and spoke in a softer tone, "
"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
