What Separates Me and You

Chapter 135 He Would Never Let It Go

Lewis frowned in response, having heard something that displeased him. He even shot Sierra a warning look as well.

The latter didn’t seem to have noticed the look. She pouted before whining, “Alright, we should hurry up and head over there already. You promised to dedicate these few days to me and that you won’t be doing anything else.”

Lewis pocketed his phone without a word. Then, he walked over to the designated spot with

Sierra.

Naturally, Seth received word of Lewis going on a business trip with Sierra.

Daphne was miffed when she heard about it. She complained in frustration, “I can’t believe he’s in the mood to accompany his lover at a time like this! Seriously, how the hell is he this relaxed?”

Seth just smiled quietly. “Why else would he do that? He’s washing his hands off this incident, “he thought.

“Seth, this incident is starting to blow up.” Daphine walked over to Seth’s side with a tablet before passing it to him.

Both of them had moved out of Alvarez Manor yesterday. Right now, the family of three was currently living in another mansion. Daphne was clearly in a better mood as well.

The guilt she harbored for Lily’s death had completely dissipated by now.

Seth glanced at the tablet before returning it to Daphne. “That’s normal. This isn’t a small deal, after all. Now that Derek lost both of his children in the fire, he won’t let this matter go.”

Derek’s efforts to keep Lily and the children’s tragedy in the public eye through the mass media yielded results. The entire city became consumed by the incident, and Alvarez Corp’s shares bore the brunt of the fallout, steadily declining over time.

“How are things with Dad?”

“It’s pretty difficult to determine what’s going to happen. When Lily went to the mansion, did she call Dad on the phone?”

Daphne thought for a moment. She recalled that Lily had indeed called Robert on the morning the tragedy broke out.

“Yes.”

“Then that settles it. Numerous housekeepers were eyewitnesses to the phone call. Besides, Dad displayed his anxiety and eagerness to have the shares transferred to himself that day. Right now, he’s the primary suspect. If the authorities still can’t locate the people who

kidnapped Lily, there’s a chance that he’ll-”

As Daphne delved into her recollection, the tragic events of that day became clearer. Lily’s tearful countenance mirrored her distress as she dialed a number, her voice echoing loudly with a sense of desperation. She pleaded with the person on the other end not to sign the contract, with numerous individuals in close proximity bearing witness to the emotionally charged conversation.
