Chapter 111 Please Spare Me

The call was placed to Lewis. The phone rang for a full minute, teetering on the brink of being disconnected, until finally, it got picked up.

“What’s up, Seth?” Lewis sounded normal, as if nothing had happened.

Seth chuckled and said, “It’s nothing. Daphne came to see me earlier and told me something, so I want to thank you, Lewis.”

“Oh? Thank me for what?”

“Thank you for being willing to help me, Lewis. Although you did it because of Daphne, I still felt compelled to thank you myself after giving it some thought,” Seth said shrewdly. He was testing Lewis’ honesty, deliberately attempting to deceive him and extract the truth.

Lewis remained silent on the other end of the line for some time before asking, “What did she tell you?”

“Nothing much. I know you did not want me to feel burdened and instructed her not to tell me anything, but this silly girl let it slip.”

“Is that so?” Lewis chuckled.

“Yes, I called just to say thank you, Lewis.”

Lewis muttered, “You’re welcome. It’s my duty as a brother. If there’s nothing else, you should get back to work.”

“Okay.” After Seth said that, both of them hung up. Lewis narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the contract on the passenger seat.

He suddenly drove the car out. Instead of returning to the company, Lewis went straight to the villa. He headed upstairs and opened the door to the study. He pushed the door, but it would not budge. He pushed harder and finally managed to open it. Only then did he see what was blocking the door. It was Josephine. She was lying on the ground with her body curled up, and it was unclear whether she had fallen asleep or fainted.
