What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 The Wrong Woman 

Lewis was reading something on his phone, so Sierra went closer to look at it. When she saw what was on the screen, her face froze. 

Contrary to her initial expectations, he wasn’t engrossed in something unrelated. Instead, he was merely scrolling through Instagram, the app nearly crashing due to the drama unfolding between the three of them. 

Johan was pretty popular, having more than twenty million followers. His followers went mad, thinking that it was Sierra who tried to hit on Johan. 

Because of that, they even commented on Lewis’ posts to talk bad about her, hoping Lewis would see her true, slutty side. 

The statement which he just released made thousands of people green with envy too. 

In their eyes, she was just a woman with a penchant for pursuing multiple men. They believed that her involvement in the entertainment industry was solely due to the resources provided by Lewis, as she lacked any significant social status or background. It struck them as absurd that he continued to defend her, even in the face of her infidelity. 

It was a common saying that when someone possessed exceptional strength beyond that of everyone else, it would only elicit feelings of jealousy among the others. However, when someone was only slightly superior to others, it tended to evoke a sense of resentment in 

everyone. 

Sierra fell into the latter category. She seemed to lack any notable skills or abilities other than her good looks, yet she managed to get Lewis to fall for her. That left everyone wondering why Sierra Woods, when they themselves could be just as deserving of his attention. 

“Why are you looking at this?” 

Hearing that, Lewis put away his phone. Glancing at Sierra, he asked, “Found what you want?” 

Sierra grunted in response. She wasn’t really in the mood to shop anymore. “Yeah.” 

Lewis reached for his card from his pocket and passed it to the shop assistant. 

The shop assistant accepted the card and swiped it. She also packed up Sierra’s wet clothes and returned them to her. 

She could only watch Sierra with envy. 

The hotel incident garnered significant attention. Anyone who had access to the Internet would know about this, so naturally, the shop assistants knew too. Seeing Lewis and Sierra with their own eyes was much different from reading about them online. 

Lewis got up and said, “Since you’re done, let’s head back.” 

Sierra quickly asked, “Aren’t you going to follow me back home?” 

Lewis caught sight of a paparazzi camera flashing somewhere out of the corner of his eyes. So, he didn’t turn her down right then. 

Sierra didn’t cover up herself for today’s shopping either. She wanted the paparazzi to 

photograph her and see how her relationship with Lewis was not affected by that incident at 

all. 

By doing so, the gossip surrounding her and Johan would eventually fade away as time passed. Moreover, this incident could serve as a well-timed publicity stunt for the upcoming TV series. 

There were always stunts like this right before the premier of a movie or TV series. These deliberation actions would attract more attention to the series, increasing viewership and ratings. 

Tugging his elbow, Sierra whispered, “The paparazzi are photographing this. If you don’t come along with me, they’ll surely write unfavorable articles about us.” 

After thinking for a while, Lewis placed his arm on Sierra’s waist with a smile. No one could. tell what was on his mind. “Let’s go. I’ll send you home.” 

Sierra was overwhelmed with joy, and she embraced him even tighter, causing their bodies to press closely against each other. 

Just like that, the two allowed the paparazzi to take tons of pictures of them openly. 

As Lewis drove Sierra back home, he noticed several cars tailing them. A smug smirk formed on his lips as he observed them through the rearview mirror, opting not to take any action. Pretending not to notice their presence, he maintained his composure and continued driving. 

The night rain became heavier, and heavy raindrops dinged furiously off the tin roof. 

Josephine was woken up by the sound of heavy rain. Instinctively, she reached out to her side. but could feel no one there. 

She opened her eyes and found that the bed was empty and cold. Her eyes dimmed as she stared at the unoccupied pillow. 

Since she threw up too much before bed, she became hungry again. Her stomach churned and growled in protest. 

She left the bed and went downstairs. Both Mrs. Larson and Mrs. White had gone to bed already. At that moment, the mansion seemed emptier than ever. 

For the past two days, they had diligently cleaned up the mansion. Every nook and cranny had been attended to, and even the white drapes had been taken down, restoring the mansion to its original appearance. 

Josephine felt the familiarity of the mansion and the loneliness of being in it. 

She poured herself a glass of water and was about to turn on the TV as she sat on the couch when she heard someone knocking on the door from outside. 

Stunned, she checked the time on the wall. It was already two in the morning. Who could be here at this hour? 

Her 

grip on the glass tightened. She didn’t dare to open the door. 

But the knocking didn’t stop. The sound of heavy rain added to the unsettling ambiance, creating an eerie and mysterious atmosphere that sent chills down Josephine’s spine. 

Unable to suppress her unease, Josephine swallowed nervously, quickly downing the whole glass of water before darting upstairs. She dashed into the bedroom and hid under the covers. 

The strange knocking sound finally couldn’t be heard anymore. 

Josephine clutched her chest, feeling her heart racing, unable to fall asleep. She could only stare at that empty pillow at her side until the break of dawn. She was so afraid. But Lewis never came back. 

In the end, Josephine had to endure the whole night all by herself. 

As the first rays of dawn illuminated the sky, the soft light filtered into the bedroom, casting a gentle glow. Exhaustion weighed heavily on Josephine, and her eyelids drooped with weariness. Unable to resist any longer, she surrendered to sleep. 

At the Alvarez Group. 

Seth was sitting in the office with a teacup in his hand. He was peacefully sipping his tea. Sitting across him was none other than Lewis. 

It was difficult to fathom how just a month ago, these two men had been at odds; their relationship strained and fraught with tension. Yet, here they were, sitting together in a surprising display of peace and harmony, enjoying their tea in tranquil coexistence.

Eyes still on the tea in his cup, Seth said with a smile, “I have to say that Derek is quite a timid man. After half a day of work, he only created a small drama out of it.” 

The gossip was what he was referring to. 

Although the gossip surrounding Sierra and Johan was spreading like nobody’s business, it didn’t affect the Alvarez Group at all. 

On the contrary, it catalyzed a spike in the Alvarez Corp’s shares. They could imagine how 

furious Derek must be at his home.
