What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 526

Lewis frostily looked at the phone. It turned out to be a text from an unknown number that read, "The snow was beautiful, Chairman Alvarez. Thank you for treating us to such a sight.

"To thank you, why don't I help with Josephine's funeral? After all, you wouldn't go through with it. You'd spend your days gazing sorrowfully at a corpse."

Darkness shrouded Lewis' face as he grabbed the phone and dialed the number. The first call got cut halfway due to poor cell coverage, so he tried again while walking out the door. At the same time, he instructed, "Find out who this person is!"

He tried calling several times, but the calls never went through.

Soon, Conrad approached to say, "Chairman Alvarez, that was a fake number. You can't reach it."

Lewis stood in the yard. He exuded an air of hostility colder than the cold temperatures around him. His eyes remained on Conrad's phone as he took out his phone to call Yannis. As expected, Yannis' phone was switched off. Lewis whipped his head toward Mrs. Larson, who stood aside and trembled in fear.

Mrs. Larson shivered while shrinking her head into the collar of her top. She tried hard to make her presence less noticeable.

Upon seeing that, Conrad approached to ask, "What on earth happened, Mrs. Larson?"

"Yannis told me Mrs. Alvarez wouldn't wake up ever again and insisted that I flee at once," Mrs. Larson answered.

"What happened next?"

"I told him not to run because I know we can't escape. However, before he asked me one last time whether I wanted to flee, he had received a phone call. He assured me we could get away, but I refused. That was when he went upstairs, and—well, you know the rest …"

After listening to her account, Conrad analyzed the situation. He deduced, "Kiran must have contacted Yannis and asked the latter to kidnap Mrs. Alvarez. He probably helped Yannis escape from the outside."

Lewis chimed in, "Find out where they are first. There's no way they can leave Elysium with Josephine."

Conrad nodded before rushing off to make the arrangements. He had deployed all their forces and connections for the search. Everyone had nearly flipped Elysium over just to locate Yannis and Josephine.

Several hours later, Conrad returned to Styx Mansion and informed Lewis, "We found them, Chairman Alvarez. They took Mrs. Alvarez to—"

Lewis sat with his back straight on the couch. When he heard the former stop talking, he turned to look and ask, "Where did they take her?"

Conrad's meek voice rang out. "The crematory."

That made Lewis shoot to his feet. He fixated on Conrad, who cowered.

Conrad felt like Lewis had mistaken him for Kiran and wanted to choke him to death then and there.

Before the two headed to the crematory, Lewis' phone dinged with a text from Kiran. "I've sent Josephine to the crematory on your behalf, Chairman Alvarez. I suggest you don't do anything reckless. Otherwise, all it takes is one text from me to turn her into ashes. Why don't you and I make a deal?"

Lewis dialed the number at once. This time, the call connected as Kiran answered the phone.

"What do you want, Kiran?"

A chuckle came from Kiran, who replied, "That's a funny question. Will you give me anything I want?"

"Why don't you tell me and find out?"

"I want you to have Sophia quit TOPSUN now," Kiran's demanded.

"Okay."

"And arrange for a helicopter to send my mom to the location I'm about to text you."

"Alright." Lewis didn't even hesitate to accept the former's requests.

Kiran couldn't help chuckling. "You're being very generous, Chairman Alvarez. Why did you have to take the hard way back then if you were going to end up like this now?"

"Spit out whatever conditions you have, Kiran. However, I'll make you and your mother die painful deaths if you dare touch a strand of hair on Josephine."

Kiran blandly stated, "Transfer Alvarez Corp's shares to my mom's name."
