What Separates Me and You

Chapter 259 He Acts Like Him, but He’s Not Him

“Sir, I’m really sorry! Please let me go!”

Rufus was no fool; the Maybach parked at the roadside had a fancy license plate number. A man of that caliber wasn’t someone he could offend.

Meanwhile, Josephine remained seated on the ground, staring at Lewis dumbfoundedly. He looked so familiar that she couldn’t help but space out.

“You’re the one conning me here, yet you’re begging for me to let you go. Where did the bravery you had when you accused her of conning you go?”

Lewis was referring to the time when Rufus berated Josephine earlier. The latter was already on the verge of breaking down, so he could only beg for his life. “I’m the one who’s at fault. here. It’s my fault for misunderstanding the pretty lady without knowing what exactly happened. I’m to be blamed, so please let me go and forget everything about me.”

When Rufus was done talking, he turned to look at Josephine after realizing that Lewis was completely unmoved by his words.

“Miss, it was all my fault! You seem like a kind person, so can you let me go? I’m sorry, alright? I’m really sorry that I mistook you for a con artist without hearing your side of the story!”

Josephine just stared at Rufus pointedly. She needed some time to register what he had just said to her. After that, she looked up at Lewis.

Well, she was the one at fault first.

She shouldn’t have run away from her spot and crossed the road without paying attention to her surroundings.

Rufus was pleased when he noticed a look of pity on Josephine’s face. He then raised his head. to look at Lewis eagerly.

The latter ripped his gaze from Josephine’s face before glancing at Rufus. Finally, he retracted his foot from the latter’s leg and moved away from his hand. “Get lost.”

“O-Okay!” Rufus quickly scrambled up to his feet and fled into his car before driving away

from the area.

There were still many onlookers surrounding the scene. None of them expected a plot twist to happen; it turned out that the woman wasn’t trying to con the driver at all, not to mention she seemed to have a powerful background.

Some of the onlookers recognized Lewis right away. After all, the scandals concerning him and Sierra had gone viral recently.

The Elysians, especially those of the younger generation, were especially familiar with Lewis. The fact that the incident happened right outside the university, where the majority of the population happened to be students, made Lewis stand out like a sore thumb even more.

Someone whipped out their phone and started taking pictures of the man. It was their first time seeing Lewis in the flesh, which was why they needed to commemorate this moment. Meanwhile, Lewis approached Josephine before crouching down to stare at her properly.

The latter pursed her lips, still reluctant to look at him.

Lewis raised a cool finger to tap on Josephine’s cheek lightly, soon realizing that she didn’t attempt to dodge him this time.
