What Separates Me and You

Chapter 191 What Had She Done Wrong

An irate tone crept into Lewis’ voice. “Which part of that did you not understand?”

“Leave it.”

Without saying anything else, Kiran left the documents on the table and left.

Lewis watched him leave with narrowed eyes. Suddenly, he doused the cigarette he was holding.

It seemed like he had decided not to care about Josephine.

Josephine looked sweet and gentle, but she was really an obstinate person. She refused to open the door despite Dr. Halliday’s persuasion.

It went on until noon the next day.

Dr. Halliday was squatting before Josephine’s door, feeling sleepy, when he heard a torrent of footsteps. He jerked awake and saw Lewis walking toward him with several bodyguards.

He quickly stood and greeted, “Mr. Alvarez.”

Indifferent, Lewis shot him an expressionless glance. “Is she still inside?”

Dr. Halliday bobbed his head up and down at high speed. “That’s right. It’s been two days. I’ve
