What Separates Me and You

Chapter 96 You Won’t Achieve Anything

“Why?” asked the person on the other end. “Lewis has no reason to do it. He’s the only son and heir to the Alvarez family. Alvarez Corp will eventually become his, so why would he sabotage the investment project?”

“Only son?” Seth snorted, “You’ve got some nerve saying that to me, the son-in-law of the Alvarez family. I bet Lewis knows I’m up to something.”

A sigh came from the

person.

“Whatever. I’m hanging up as I’ve got other things to deal with now,” Seth said before ending the call and strolling ahead. As he walked, he noticed Lewis’ car was parked by the road with its lights on. It seemed like Lewis had intentionally waited for him. Thus, Seth approached and saw Lewis was indeed inside. The latter rested one arm against the car window while holding a cigarette between two fingers. Even Lewis’ tie had gotten loosened up compared to before. Seth forced a smile while he asked, “Were you waiting for me, Lewis?”

While turning to stare intensely at the former, Lewis exhaled a puff of smoke. Tension filled the air as he hid his malice while speaking. “How can my intelligent brother-in-law make such a foolish mistake?”

Seth turned to face the former. “I had suspicions and wanted to test the waters with you earlier, but it seems no longer necessary. What’s the use of asking when you and I know the truth? Pray tell, Lewis-why were you waiting for me?”

Lewis shook off the excess ash from his cigarette, then drilled his dark gaze into Seth. “Where is he?”
