What Separates Me and You

Chapter 107 Men Were Always Fickle

The man had a point. She truly didn’t trust strangers easily when it came to dealings involving large figures. She had nowhere to turn to should the other party be unable to deliver as promised after signing the contract.

“Then, get this done as quickly as you can.” Daphne sighed in resignation. She didn’t have the energy to think too deeply about this right now as she still had to discuss with Lewis what to do about the ransom money later.

“Will do, Ms. Alvarez. We will get this done within three days, don’t worry. I’ll be off then.” The man kept away all the documents and bid them farewell.

She waited until he had left before asking Lewis, “Such an amount isn’t enough at all, Lewis. What am I going to do?”

Lewis stopped scrolling on his phone and looked up at her. “Do you care that much about Seth?

“I’m willing to sell my shares for him, so what do you think?” she said flippantly.

“Is it worth it?”

“Of course! I’d do anything for him!” She sounded resolute. One could only wonder what kind of nonsensical ideas Seth had implanted in her mind to make her so fiercely devoted to him.

Lewis nodded his head and absentmindedly tapped his finger against the table. “Understood. I know of another way, but I’m just worried you aren’t brave enough to risk it,” he said casually.

“What is it? I’m already ready to sell off my shares. What else is there that I wouldn’t dare to do? Hurry up and tell me. What other way is there? How else will I be able to get the money?” Daphne pressed.

Lewis smirked and suddenly leaned forward. Looking her in the eyes, he lowered his voice and said, “You can’t, but Dad can.”

Her eyes widened. “W-What do you mean by that?”

“Aren’t Dad’s shares worth even more?”
