What Separates Me and You

Chapter 95 More Complicated

“Shouldn’t you lock the door, Lewis?” Seth casually asked.

Only silence filled the air as Lewis stared at the former.

“You should worry about yourself,” he replied after a brief pause. Then, he turned to enter the car outside his house.

Seth chuckled faintly but still joined Lewis inside the vehicle.

As for Josephine, who hid behind the door, she waited until the car drove further away before cautiously coming out of the room. It was undoubted that Seth had traumatized her to the point where his face alone could scare her senseless.

Sometime later, Lewis and Seth returned to the Alvarez family’s residence. His sister and mother, Daphne and Nancy, sat anxiously in the living room. Once the two men arrived, Nancy rushed up to grab Lewis’ arm and greet him, “Lewis.”

A nod came from Lewis, who then asked, “Where’s Dad?”

“He’s in the study. Behave while you’re in there, okay? He’s still very much upset with you.’

Lewis hummed lightly, then strolled toward the study as though unbothered by the situation. He knocked, entered the room, and saw Robert standing before the window.

Robert’s back faced the former. He was over 60 years old and had a head full of white hair. Still, his body was in good shape. He stood with his back straight and chin high.

Lewis stood behind Robert and said, “Dad.”

Spinning on his heels, Robert examined Lewis, a stern look radiated from behind his spectacles. He then raised a stack of documents and slammed them onto the latter’s chest. ” Look at what you’ve done! Are you happy now?”

Loud whooshes sounded as paper scattered all over the floors.

Not once did Lewis flinch. Instead, he bent down to pick up one of the papers before looking at the words. “Seth is in charge of overseeing this project.”

At once, Robert snarled, “Seth says you signed the papers, but you’re telling me he’s in charge of the project? Are you two playing me for a fool? Who the hell should I hold accountable for this issue, then? Both of you have somehow run the company down to this wretched state! What’s the use of keeping you around?”
