What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 441

Lewis calmly responded, "Do you have any other options right now? Release Josephine, and we part ways peacefully. But there will be no escape for you if you harm her."

Michael's heart wavered when he heard Lewis' words. He began hesitating.

Lewis remained patient. He stood still and waited for Michael to make a choice.

The car's headlights behind him were glaring. It cast shadows on both sides of him. Although he blocked most of the light, it still made it difficult for Josephine to open her eyes.

She couldn't see Lewis' expression clearly.

Yet Lewis could see both her and Michael.

Michael asked again, "Are you really going to let me go?"

"I don't want to repeat myself. Have you made your decision?"

Michael was still hesitant. As he was still unsure of what to do, one of his masked companions leaned close and whispered in his ear.

"Don't trust him. Lewis is a ruthless, vengeful, and unforgiving person. Once you release the hostage, we'll all end up dead here."

Michael's face fell, and he looked sharply at Lewis.

"Are you trying to deceive me?"

Lewis narrowed his eyes. His gaze shifted towards the masked individual.

"So, I guess there's nothing left to talk about."

Michael sneered, "I don't believe you unless you bring fifty million in cash right now!"

"Michael, are you really going to keep making the wrong choices?"

"Enough talk. Bring the money, or there's nothing to discuss."

He grabbed Josephine and said, "Let's go. Get in the car."

Michael pushed Josephine back into the car. He vigilantly stared at Lewis before getting into the car himself.

"Lewis, you better come alone with the money. Anyway, I'm dead either way. I wouldn't mind taking your wife down with me!"

Once everybody was in the car, the driver started the engine. Soon, the Volkswagen disappeared from Lewis' view.

Conrad rushed forward and asked worriedly, "Chairman Alvarez, what do we do now?"

Lewis stared straight ahead until the car's taillights disappeared. Only then did he retract his gaze.

"Get the money."

"What?" Conrad was conflicted. "Chairman Alvarez, if we give them the money, they'll likely use Mrs. Alvarez as a hostage to escape. What will we do then?"

What if Michael changed his mind and killed Josephine once he was out of danger?

"I said, get the money." Lewis turned to look at Conrad. His cold gaze startled him.

Conrad rubbed his nose. He dared not get another word out and quickly called for someone to bring the money here.

Lewis entered his car and lit a cigarette in frustration.

After about fifteen minutes, Conrad returned and said, "I've given the order. It should take about forty minutes for Phineas to bring the money."

"Also, Quintin and Avery fell into the river under the overpass. The news reached the Fowler family and the Green family. They've been calling me to ask what happened."

Lewis extended his finger out of the window and flicked the cigarette ash. "Are they dead?"

Conrad wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. "I guess not."

He analyzed and said, "When they got thrown off, Michael's car was also driving at high speed, so the impact might not have been too severe. But I'm not sure about the height they fell from ..."

Conrad estimated the height they fell from. He wondered if the two would get smashed to pieces after falling from such a height.

Lewis remained silent. He was lost in his thoughts.
