Chapter 154 Who Do You Want to Do These With?

Josephine’s heart clenched, and her breath caught as she looked at the person standing in the doorway. Unconsciously, her fingers tightened around Seth’s arm.

“Are you trying to squeeze me to death?” Seth whispered.

Snapping out of her daze, she swiftly flung his arm away and stepped to the side, putting distance between them.

Seth smiled angrily at this. “You’re such an idiot.” He then looked at Lewis, who was standing in the doorway, and said, “What a coincidence to see you here, President Alvarez.”

Lewis acted as though Josephine wasn’t there as he strode up to Seth and looked indifferently at him. “It’s not. I was waiting for you here.”

Seth laughed. “And what if I didn’t show up? Were you going to just abandon her?”

Lewis didn’t respond and merely stared coldly at Seth. However, his silence pierced Josephine’s heart, fuelling a torrent of questions. Had he been aware she was there all this time and what those men had intended for her? She studied his face intently, yearning for an explanation, yet his lips remained tightly sealed. 1.

The room was quiet for the longest time. “Take him away,” was all Lewis said before he turned and left without looking back. She stared after his cold figure and could feel her heart fall into a deep, dark abyss. Two bodyguards briskly entered, grabbed hold of Seth, and escorted him out after taking away his gun. Seth didn’t resist at all and allowed himself to be taken. They left in a flash, leaving Josephine alone in the private room, staring blankly at the doorway without any idea what to do.

She had come here full of worry in search of him, yet he had only used her as bait. She stood there doubting herself for the longest time. She questioned the veracity of the night’s events and wondered who was the man who had jumped off the cliff after her. Her thoughts were a mess, and she felt a faint, sharp pain in her head.

Josephine held her head and slowly squatted down amid the room’s disarray. He had discarded her here just like trash. She stayed on the floor for some time before the pain in her skull slowly ebbed. She placed her hand on the table and stood up with much effort before dragging her heavy legs towards the exit. Stepping outside of Magic Cube, a brisk gust of wind brushed against her, offering a cooling respite and a moment of mental clarity.
