What Separates Me and You

Chapter 123 Some People Are That Stupid

Unfortunately, Lewis no longer believed her.

He pinched her chin and spoke in a low voice. “Let me tell you this. Even when I’m no longer the president of Alvarez Corp, you can never escape from my grasp. Josephine, even if you die, you will die here.”

His words struck the crown of her head like a thunderbolt, leaving her utterly shaken.

Josephine’s entire body tensed. Instinctively, she thought about taking a step back, but her rationality suppressed that instinct.

Lewis touched the tip of her ears and grazed them softly with his fingers. It felt ticklish, the sensation making her flinch.

He removed the earphone from her ears and pocketed them again.

“Stay at home and be good. Lock the doors, don’t go out, or else I’ll really break your leg this

time.”

His gentlest tone delivered the cruelest words.

Josephine gripped the couch, suppressing the fear in her heart, and nodded slightly.

Lewis stood and went upstairs to change his clothes. When he emerged again, he left in a

brown coat.

Josephine watched him leave and ran over to shut the door.

When that was done, she pressed herself against the door, her chest heaving.

The words she’d heard from the earphone earlier reverberated in her mind repeatedly. Lewis was about to leave the Alvarez family. He was about to become nothing.

Josephine closed her eyes, breathing heavily as she forced herself to calm down.

She thought to herself, “No, what he said just now was not true. His expression had been off!”

If he truly was going to be kicked out of the Alvarez family, it was impossible for him to be this collected. This man had to have some kind of backup plan-an even bigger trump card.

Or, he had never cared much about Alvarez Corp anyway. Maybe he had greater cards to play.

There were only these two possibilities.

At the end of the day, he was still testing her, just like how he’d repeatedly asked her if she

wanted children.

No matter how many times he’d asked, she’d always believed him-she’d always fallen for it.
