What Separates Me and You

Chapter 233 Forked Tongue

Derek’s gaze flickered as he looked deeply at Seth.

Was he intentionally trying to guide him, or did he have ulterior motives?

Seth was a mystery, not only in terms of his identity but also his actions. Derek hadn’t noticed it before, but now he felt that Seth was waiting to stir up trouble.

Seth smiled and said, “Alright, Derek. I’ll take my leave. There’s still a lot of work to do at the

office.”

After speaking, he walked towards the parking lot without looking back. Once Seth was inside the car, a thought flashed across his mind, and he drove to the secluded old neighborhood. However, when he opened the door, the place was empty.

Looking at the vacant room, he smirked and let out a low chuckle. “That man speaks with a forked tongue.”

Naturally, he meant Lewis.

At that moment, Lewis was sitting in his office, watching the surveillance footage, which captured almost every corner of the mansion.

Josephine was squatting in the living room, feeding the dogs..

These two dogs seemed disloyal and would follow anyone away. When Phineas finished setting up the surveillance and left with his team, the two dogs followed along.

Josephine had to chase after them to bring them back.

When Conrad entered, he saw Lewis casually leaning back in his chair and staring blankly at the computer screen. He paused briefly and knocked on the door a few more times. Only then did Lewis glance up at him.

Conrad quickly approached him and said, “Chairman Alvarez, Xavier’s matter has been resolved. He’s asking when we can discuss the collaboration.”

Conrad proceeded to provide a brief account of the situation.

It turned out that Xavier had assumed the responsibility and addressed the media, providing clarification regarding the situation. He declared that all the images circulating online were fake. He confirmed that his cousin had died in a restaurant fire, and after a thorough investigation, the restaurant was found to be fully responsible. Furthermore, Xavier made a firm commitment to hold the individuals who had spread the false images and rumors legally

accountable for their actions.

Additionally, Conrad employed some manipulative tactics on Mr. Walter’s family, especially his wife. He presented her with the live-streaming app and the recorded evidence, using them
