What Separates Me and You

Chapter 158 Dog-Eat-Dog

Sierra tightened her grip on her bag. It would be a lie to say she didn’t want to leave, but the memory of Lewis’ ruthless behavior ran through her head, dissuading her from the idea. Despite this, she was unable to let go. Love was definitely a scary thing. Sierra smiled bitterly, understanding she would be trapped in his grasp for the rest of her life.

After Lewis left the residential area, he drove hurriedly to the hillside mansion instead of Styx Mansion. Normally, just the caretakers would be present in this mansion, but there were multiple guards on duty today.

The guards at the entry spotted his car and opened the gate respectfully, watching his car drive into the mansion before closing the gate again. Lewis pulled up in front of the mansion, and Phineas ran over to help him open the car door. He then greeted, “President Alvarez.”

“Where is he?”

“He’s inside.” Phineas swiftly led the way. They circled around the mansion to reach the backyard instead.

The dogs were kept in the backyard. They were let out in the evening to roam freely within the fenced area before being locked up for the day. Seth was inside at the time. Phineas wanted to scare him, so he abandoned him with the dogs and an empty cage. He expected Seth to be startled by the dogs and hide in the cage. This was a scheme to humiliate Seth.

When Lewis and Phineas arrived at the backyard, they did not find Seth trembling in the cage as Phineas had anticipated, but he was using the dogs as makeshift cushions. Having a few dogs as cushions provided a lot of warmth on such a cold day. Seth appeared to be either meditating or peacefully asleep, with his hands resting behind his head.

Phineas’ demeanor changed when he saw this situation, and he intuitively glanced at Lewis beside him. “President Alvarez, this…”

These dogs were surprisingly useless!

“They’re just some useless animals. Get rid of them,” Lewis said nonchalantly. He then walked in through the fence gate.

As the dogs caught a whiff of his scent, several of them perked up, raising their heads to look his way. The dogs, who had been acting as cushions for Seth, also stood up in response. Seth nearly fell to the ground after losing the dogs’ support, but he swiftly braced himself with his hands.

Seeing Lewis’ arrival, Seth sneered, “I wondered who it was. It turned out to be you, Lewis.”

The dogs around Lewis avoided him as he walked toward Seth, clearing a route for him. He stood in front of Seth and looked down at him, saying, “Only you are capable of laughing in the face of death.”

Seth laughed nonchalantly and replied, “Really? Then why haven’t you killed me? Let me guess. Is it because of Josephine? It seems that you have discovered her true identity. What should I do?”
