What Separates Me and You

Chapter 41 Love Is Truly a Mysterious Thing

At Magic Cube, Tyler was seated opposite Lewis. It was only the two of them today, but there was plenty of liquor on the table, and the large screen was playing a music video, albeit without sound. In contrast to the loud noises outside, the private room was incredibly solemn.

Tyler poured himself a shot, drinking it in one go, then followed it with a second. He drank a total of three shots.

With his legs crossed, Lewis leaned lazily on the sofa, playing with his lighter as he looked silently at Tyler. Perhaps it was because Tyler downed the three shots too quickly that he felt like coughing. He held it in with much difficulty, his face turning red. It was then only that Tyler looked at Lewis.

“Lewis, let’s talk.”

“About what?” Lewis replied casually.

“Avery.”

Lewis smiled ambiguously. “She’s your sister, I don’t think I’m the person you should be looking for.”

“No one else is here, so there is no need for all the secrecy. Avery has learned her lesson; she will definitely not butt into matters involving Josephine in the future. I’ll apologize for the things she’s done in the past on her behalf. I hope you won’t let the situation worsen.”

Lewis observed him quietly, that ambiguous smile still on his face. After a while, he answered, “Do you really think everything will come to an end if I stop?”

Tyler was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“Tyler, you’ve been in the industry for many years now. Haven’t you heard that a falling wall will be pushed down by everyone?”

Hearing that, Tyler’s expression changed. Obviously, he knew. He knew that friends. didn’t exist in the business world. Sometimes, one would be stabbed in the back by the very person they would call their brother. The strong ones were afraid to be caught up with, and the weak ones would pray for their downfall. That was why when someone was already on the ground, they would think of ways to trample them further, making a mockery out of them. It was like that between humans.

Lewis tilted his head and lit a cigarette, the flame illuminating his icy gaze. His voice was impassive, “All I did was start the fire, and it burned on its own. You’ve come to
