What Separates Me and You

Chapter 137

Make Your Choice

Daphne gripped Lewis’ arm tightly. He did tell her that he would never abandon her, so she could only ask for his help now.

The latter looked down at her silently.

Tears glistened in Daphne’s eyes as she gazed back trustingly at him.

A moment later, Lewis averted his gaze and turned to look at Seth.

Both of them made eye contact with each other. An invisible battle broke out between the two men as they tried to dominate each other with their glares. The others might not know what was going on, but they could sense the change in the atmosphere.

“Drag them out of here for now,” Lewis ordered.

Soon, a few housekeepers came forward to drag the kidnappers away. After that, Lewis dismissed all the housekeepers.

Only four people remained in the living room after that.

When Nancy realized that the coast was clear, she finally spoke up. “Lewis, what should we do now?”

“What should we do?” Lewis stared at Seth before he chuckled all of a sudden. “Why don’t you ask Seth? He might have a better solution.”

The moment his words fell, Daphne turned around to look at Seth.

Seth’s eyes glinted before he smiled as well. “I don’t have a solution, Lewis. Daphne carried the plan out without my knowledge, after all. I only found out what happened just now.”

“Is that so? How did Derek track down those kidnappers, then? I’m quite curious about the reason.”

Seth’s brows furrowed as he pretended to speculate thoughtfully. “Well, I’m not sure about that. All Derek wants is to avenge his deceased wife and children. It’s completely normal for him to be able to track down those people.”

Lewis nodded in agreement. “That makes sense. Seth, now that your wife is about to get imprisoned, don’t you have anything to say about it?”

Seth paused for a moment, not knowing what to say all of a sudden.

It was a while before he finally replied, “To tell you the truth, I don’t know what to do either. I’d like to ask for your opinion, Lewis. After all, Daphne trusts you the most.”

They continued staring at each other, neither willing to relent. Daphne resembled a double- edged sword right now. If they could manipulate her properly, they would be able to take each
