What Separates Me and You

Chapter 202 Feeling Sad

Seth was already at the restaurant but did not enter the private room earlier because he wanted to see if Lewis would send someone to rescue Josephine. But in the end, no one came.

“Regret? You should ask yourself this question. Since you’ve picked your stand, you should perform well to prove your worth,” Lewis said with a laugh,

Seth sneered at the sound of his words. “I’m no match for Chairman Alvarez when it comes to playing dirty.”

“There is nothing a ruthless man cannot accomplish,” Seth thought to himself before solemnly adding, “Please send someone to clean up this mess.”

Lewis replied, “Great teamwork.”

Seth sneered and ended the call. He had been passive and stayed on the sidelines throughout their collaboration. Now that he had shown up here, he was fully exposed before Lewis. He could no longer be a mere spectator. If he decided not to do anything, Lewis would notice his betrayal and might not let him go. Lewis had orchestrated all these just to force Seth into working with him.

Seth suddenly remembered that he once thought Lewis was not evil enough, but this incident. clearly proved him wrong. When it came to ruthlessness, no one could match him.

It was pitiful that Josephine didn’t know anything. She believed that by coming here, she could acquire information about Mrs. Jinkins. Little did she know that her beloved Mrs. Jinkins had already turned to ashes.

He ran his fingers across Josephine’s cheek and touched the corner of her eye. Tears were flowing down. Seth wondered if she was feeling sad. Drunk people get sad easily.

Seth sat there for a while before carefully lifting the unconscious Josephine into his arms. He skilfully navigated around the pool of blood, stepping over Mr. Walter’s lifeless body. Walking towards the door, he exited the room. As the door closed behind him, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

He carried Josephine back to the house in the old neighborhood and placed her on the bed. In the dark, he gently caressed her soft and delicate cheek.

Not long after Seth had left, a massive fire erupted in the private room, and everyone in the restaurant fled. The fire rapidly spread, engulfing the second and third floors within twenty minutes. It took a few hours to put out the fire. After the fire was extinguished, Mr. Walter’s charred body was carried out. The extent of his burns had rendered him almost

unrecognizable.
