Chapter 139 I’ve Seen It All

Meanwhile, Seth had also opened his eyes and was grinning broadly at her.

Josephine was lying on the ground, her appearance disheveled. She pursed her lips and silently retreated before sitting down obediently by Seth’s side.

Seth continued staring at her for a while, smiled, and closed his

eyes.

Josephine sat silently beside him, her gaze fixed upon the rope encircling her ankles. The rope was noticeably thin, scarcely thicker than a shoelace.

Try as she might, she couldn’t undo the knot that held the rope together.

Despite her relentless efforts, Josephine couldn’t make any headway after struggling for hours. Drained and weary, she leaned weakly against the tree trunk.

She soon gave up trying and eventually fell asleep.

Upon waking up, she realized she was already inside the car. Lifting her head, she caught sight of Seth by her side. He was still clad in his tuxedo, with tousled hair obscuring half of his face. Josephine couldn’t discern his expression from where she sat.

She sat up and looked out the window.

It was raining heavily again. The outside world became a hazy blur as the rain relentlessly pounded against the car window. Josephine anxiously bit her lip-she no longer knew where they were.

Without making a sound, she looked away.

Meanwhile, Lewis went to visit Daphne.

“Lewis!” Daphne cried out to him with great excitement upon catching sight of him. She was eager to run to him, but he stopped her.

Lewis gestured for her to sit. Having calmed herself down slightly, Daphne proceeded to sit across from him.

Daphne’s face was visibly haggard, her eyes dull and vacant, but there was still a glimmer of hope within them as she spoke.

“Lewis, Seth-”

“He’s gone,” Lewis replied calmly.

Daphne’s shoulders slumped in a moment’s weakness. “He’s…gone?”

“Yes.”

Her already pallid face paled even further. “What…What about Bambam?”

“He’s still at the Alvarez residence.”

Daphne’s tears trickled down her cheeks, but she hurriedly wiped them away. Even though
