What Separates Me and You

Chapter 242 Live Well With Josephine

Josephine’s eyes blinked as she stared at Nancy, wanting Nancy to tell her what she did wrong.

But Nancy only said, “I wanted to get rid of you. But seeing how pitiful you are, I’ll leave you here to reflect on yourself. I’ll let you out when Lewis finally gets married.”

Josephine’s eyes widened as emotions flashed through them. She understood every word from Nancy, but she couldn’t comprehend what she was saying once combined.

What did she mean by … until Lewis got married?

Fury rose in Nancy’s chest when she saw Josephine’s face. “Can you stop acting so pitiful, you freaking mute? Seeing those eyes of yours, I wish I could dig them out right here!”

Scared, Josephine quickly lowered her gaze, not daring to look at Nancy anymore.

But Nancy got even angrier. She was so furious that she began to cackle. She told the maid. standing beside her, “Look at this slut. She must have been luring Lewis by acting like that!

“As if I’ve wronged her. Tell me, do you think I’d have locked you up if you hadn’t been sticking by Lewis’ side all this while?

“This is all your fault, Josephine. Don’t blame me for this.”

Eyes on her own toes, Josephine’s head hung low. She didn’t respond.

Noticing how she was still gripping the metal bars with no sign of giving up, an evil smile. appeared on Nancy’s face. She stood up suddenly. “Block this door from the outside.”

Josephine jerked her head up. She looked at Nancy as if she was begging and shook her head profusely.

But Nancy pretended to see nothing. The more she begged like this with her eyes, the more Nancy wanted to see her become hopeless as if it would soothe the fury in her chest.

“Do it!”

Josephine’s eyes turned bloodshot. She shook the metal bar hard, wishing to break it and

escape.

But she couldn’t.

She could only watch as the bodyguard brought over a wooden plank, blocking out the last stream of light before her eyes.

The plank was set between rocks and was pushed closely onto the metal bars. The bodyguard even kicked the plank a few times. Josephine’s fingers were stuck in between the bars and the plank. It was so painful that she almost blacked out.

The bodyguard found a wooden pole to hold against the outside of the plank so that no matter how hard Josephine pushed from the inside, she wouldn’t be able to move the plank.

Anyone standing outside could see clearly how the plank was shaking. It was Josephine who was pushing the plank from the inside.
