What Separates Me and You novel Chapter 538

Heavy rainfall came overnight. Lightning and thunder struck outside Styx Mansion as it rained intensely.

Lewis abruptly opened his eyes. The rain was so loud that it almost overshadowed the television's noise. He picked up the remote and turned up the volume.

Suddenly, Darren opened the front door and dragged someone inside. "Master Lewis, we caught this one behaving suspiciously outside. How should we deal with her?"

Lewis turned toward the person that got tossed over by Gabe. It was none other than Avery. Rain drenched her body.

Her short hair swayed as she shook her head before standing. "Who are you calling suspicious? I was passing by, but you guys captured me unjustly! Watch out. I might sue you for kidnapping!"

Lewis studied her before suddenly remarking, "So, you've recovered."

A snort came from Avery, who ignored him.

Gabe spoke up just then. "I've already seen you throwing rocks at the windows several times. How dare you deny being suspicious?"

Avery peered at him. "Do you have any proof?"

"I saw it myself."

"Didn't I see you entering a brothel?"

Gabe froze but refuted at once, "That's nonsense!"

"Hah, well, you started spewing nonsense first."

Avery couldn't care less about her drenched clothes. She sat opposite Lewis and crossed one leg over the other.

Avery continued, "I don't care. You guys wrongfully injured me, so you should pay up! I'm not leaving without getting at least 800 million to a billion!"

Gabe wanted to call her shameless, but Lewis' glare stopped him. He swallowed his words, then left the villa in silence.

As for Avery, she shot a sneer at Lewis. "Gosh, I heard the mighty Chairman Alvarez seldom returns home. So, why are you pretending to be a loving husband now?"

She had stalked Lewis daily and knew he would return home every night. With that in mind, she sized her chance to taunt him.

Lewis didn't take offense. He remained emotionless the entire time.

Avery glanced at the empty home around her. A wave of sorrow washed over her again.

"How does it feel to sit alone in this house? What's it like getting abandoned? Still, this isn't the end. You've got a long way to go."

She continued, "Josephine doesn't want you anymore. She has hidden herself, and you'll never find her in this lifetime again! You deserve this!"

There was finally a shift in Lewis' dull gaze. "Do you know where she is?"

Avery rolled her eyes as if the former was an idiot. "Would I be here if I knew where she has gone?"

That was when she recalled her reason for coming here. "Tell me the truth, Lewis. Is she still alive?"

"Yes, she is." It didn't seem like Lewis was answering her. Instead, it felt like he was saying it to himself.

Avery stiffened. She didn't know whether he told her the truth, but she didn't hesitate to trust him since she never believed Josephine had died.

"I knew it." Her confidence grew as she added, "I bet she hid herself in a place where I don't know. She must be watching you suffer."

Lewis shut his eyes, then grimly stated, "Get out before I blow up, Avery."
