What Separates Me and You

Chapter 275 Kill Him

The bodyguard was stunned upon hearing the order.

Quintin was the same, but he started howling with laughter soon enough, making him look like a lunatic. “I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I? You must be humiliated and angry now, right? You deserve that, Lewis Alvarez! Hahahahaha!”

All Lewis had to do was shoot a look at the bodyguard, resulting in him quickly covering Quintin’s mouth.

Quintin continued to unleash a stream of curses at Lewis, refusing to back down. However, his words devolved into unintelligible mumblings.

The bodyguard picked up the blood-stained dagger. Soon, he would cut off Quintin’s tongue.

Lewis had just turned around when he felt someone tugging at the corner of his shirt.

He turned back to see Josephine.

She clutched the corner of his shirt while staring up at him with tearful eyes. Unfamiliarity wasn’t the only emotion swimming in her eyes right now; there was also a strong hint of fear.

Lewis gripped her wrist before pulling her into his arms. Then, he used his other hand to lift her chin forcibly, murmuring, “Are you afraid of me?”

A small smile bloomed on Lewis’ face as he caressed Josephine’s chin with his thumb. His voice sounded unbelievably flirtatious and ambiguous as he said, “It’s alright. You won’t remember any of this tomorrow, anyway.”

Josephine’s eyes went wide once again as tears rolled down her cheeks. She responded by shaking her head wildly.

Lewis ignored her silent pleas as he glanced at the bodyguard sideways, noting the latter’s dazed look. He gave the next order in an airy tone. “Do it.”

Josephine gripped Lewis’ sleeve tightly with wide eyes, her knuckles already paling from the force, while she sobbed quietly.

Upon realizing that the man would always be unmoved, she pushed him away before rushing to put herself between Quintin and the bodyguard. Then, she gripped the bodyguard’s arm while looking at him pleadingly.

The latter looked conflicted for a moment. He turned his head to look at his boss, seemingly waiting for his next order.

By then, Lewis had already returned to the chair and sat back down. He kept staring at Josephine and Quintin coldly the whole time.

Josephine stared at Lewis as well with watery eyes. She raised her hands to gesture, “Please let

him go. It’s all my fault. I was the one who wanted to marry him. I was also the one who suggested leaving this city. This has nothing to do with him.”

Upon reading the gestures, Quintin roared with reddened eyes, “Don’t plead to him, Josephine! I’d rather die than have him toy around with me!”
