What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 498

The phone rang for a while before Lewis answered. Josephine hurriedly asked, "Are you still with Henry?"

"No, I'm just taking care of some matters. Go to bed early."

Lewis's reply was brief, and he hung up. Josephine stared at her phone, her brows furrowing.

Meanwhile, Yona trembled as she stared at the man before her. Feeling helpless, she clenched her sleeves.

Lewis casually dropped his phone on the table and looked at Yona.

Shivering, she lowered her head even further, her hands fidgeting.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

Nervously, Yona shook her head. "No, I don't. Is there something you need at this late hour, Chairman Alvarez?"

Standing beside them, Phineas reprimanded, "Stop playing innocent. You nearly got Mrs. Alvarez into trouble. Why are you playing dumb?"

Startled, Yona lifted her head. She looked at Lewis in disbelief. "M-Mrs. Alvarez?"

Lewis stared at her expressionlessly. "Do you get it now?"

Yona felt her heart almost leaped from her chest when she heard Lewis' response. A chill ran down her spine.

She stammered. "J-Josephine ... is your wife?"

Lewis didn't answer her question. His patience was wearing thin. "Tell me, what's your relationship with Henry?"

Yona hastily explained, "Mr. Lewis, I've only had a few drinks with Mr. Brown. Nothing else happened between us."

"What about Josephine?"

"She ..." Yona hesitated and stuttered. She was on the verge of tears.

She had fantasized about getting close to Lewis for so long. Now that she was facing him, she realized his presence was even more powerful than she had imagined when they first met.

She felt suffocated under his presence.

Of course, it might be due to her feeling guilty.

"Sally, you only have one chance. Make the most of it."

Yona's pupils contracted as fear gripped her. She blurted out, "I confess. I lured Josephine there."

"I wanted to teach her a lesson. She had been making a fool out of me. I wanted to give her a taste of her own medicine. I knew that Mr. Brown would be visiting Elysium these few days and that he liked beautiful women. So I ..."

For the past few days, she had pretended to mend her way. She wanted Josephine to lower her guard and lure her to that place.

Yona also knew what Henry and others were up to in there. If Josephine had barged in and discovered their secrets, she would definitely get into trouble.

Who could have imagined that this Josephine was actually Lewis' wife?

She wouldn't even dare to dream about it!

She had never heard of Lewis getting married. How could he suddenly have a wife?

No matter the situation, Yona was terrified beyond words. Her legs trembled uncontrollably.

"That's downright malicious," Phineas said through gritted teeth.

Yona fell to her knees in fear. Her voice trembled as she said, "Chairman Alvarez, I was wrong. I really didn't know she was your wife. I wouldn't dare to do such a thing if I knew."

"How did you know Mr. Garcia from Quaddew Production?"

"He ... He contacted me after watching my videos. He said he'll bring me to his company and make me a star after my contract ends."

"When was this?"

"Just about a week ago. I'm so sorry, Chairman Alvarez. I will never do it again. Please forgive me."

Lewis gently massaged his temples. He didn't look at Yona, nor did he say anything.

His silence made Yona feel like she was awaiting trial, and her tears welled up in fear.

After what felt like an eternity, Lewis waved his hand dismissively. "Take her away."
