What Separates Me and You

Chapter 245 So Stupid of Him

Nancy sneered, “What do I want? I want you to marry someone who’s well-matched with you instead of you wasting your time on women like that mute or Sierra Woods. You’re now the chairman of the Alvarez Corp. Why are you still messing around with those two women? Can’t you see how embarrassing this is?”

Pausing for a moment, Nancy added, “Lewis, as long as you get married, I guarantee that the mute will still be in one piece. But if you were to go against me, don’t you dare think you can see that mute ever again.”

Hearing that, Lewis laughed. “Is that so?”

Nancy grew angrier when she saw him laughing. “I’ve said all I needed to say. It all depends on what you do now.”

“Looks like you’re not that worried about Daphne, seeing how you waste so much energy on a mute. Do you think you’d be able to control me after you caught Josephine?”

Nancy’s face turned sour. “What are you talking about?”

“It means exactly what it is. Since you don’t want to release her, then don’t. You can get rid of her whenever you want. As for the matter of making me marry someone, it will never happen.”

Lewis expressed his stance mercilessly.

Nancy could sense that he was doing this to her on purpose. He just simply refused to do what she requested of him-even if she threatened to kill Josephine.

Nancy, who initially thought she had the upper hand, felt like she was on the losing side again. She thought she almost had Lewis wrapped around her fingers, but his words had pulled the distance between them further apart.

The feeling of not being able to be in control made her feel dissatisfied, angry, and scared as

well.

Gritting her teeth, Nancy said, “I heard you. Since you don’t care about that mute, I won’t hold myself back.”

Lewis leaned back casually on the couch. “Do whatever you want.”

Words stuck in Nancy’s mouth suddenly. She couldn’t say anything in response to that.

She found it difficult to believe as she stared intently at Lewis, hoping to see any signs of a lie on his face. But she was let down.

There was no expression on his face at all.
