What Separates Me and You

Chapter 261 She’s So Far Away

Lewis smoked quietly for a while before his lips curled into a smile. “That’s easy. You and your family can just move to another country. Problem solved.”

Derek’s eyes became as wide as saucers. He finally realized that it was Lewis’ actual goal.

Once he became the owner of Moss Corporation, he would then exile the Moss family to an overseas country, thus snuffling any possibilities of them making a grand return once and for

all

Now that everything finally clicked into place, Derek couldn’t help but laugh through gritted teeth. “I see. As expected of you, Lewis Alvarez.”

He stood up from the couch and furiously stomped out of the office.

Lewis ignored the furious man who just left the office. Instead, he tilted his head to glance at Seth, who had yet to go.

“You seem to have so much free time on your hands today, Mr. Fairchild. Have you started your holidays in advance?”

Seth shrugged casually while smiling at Lewis. “I’m here to receive Derek on your behalf, Chairman Alvarez. Or could it be that you’re hoping for someone else to receive him?”

The “someone else” that Seth was referring to could only mean one person.

Lewis replied, “I was hoping that he’d be the one receiving him.”

Seth raised an eyebrow in response, having immediately understood the underlying meaning

in Lewis’ reply.

If Kiran did end up working with Derek, the latter would transfer him his shares. Knowing Kiran, he would never merge Moss Corporation with Alvarez Corp. If he were to merge Moss Corporation with an international company that was based in an overseas country, the procedures he needed to go through would be more problematic and complicated unless Kiran decided to take over Moss Corporation as an individual. Once he did that, Lewis would have a

perfect reason to kick him out of Alvarez Corp.

Hence, all Kiran had been doing recently was stirring up trouble as much as he could. He wanted to prevent Derek from giving the shares to Lewis. Either that, or he could prevent Lewis from signing the contract.

Seth nodded in response. “Alright, then I’ll resume my work. I’ve already compiled the information you sent to me previously. When are we traveling to Hardington?”

“In three days.”

Seth hummed in response before shooting a meaningful look in Lewis’ direction. Even though

he was unable to discern anything based on the latter’s expression, he still stared at him for a couple of seconds before leaving the office.

That evening, Lewis returned to Styx Mansion.

It was his third time going home over the past half a month.
