《The Lost Son's Return 》全部章節：第 31 章 - 第 40 章

Josh was surprised when Lilith showed up, ij handcuffs, Liam with two cops accompanying her. Lilith, surprised to see Josh at the police station had asked him a question earlier, and when he didn't respond to her, and just looked at her, and then down at the handcuffs she got annoyed and asked again. “I asked you a question, what are you doing here?” She was thinking that maybe one of her family members had brought him with, and she didn't like that. She despised Josh the moment Giovanni brought up the idea of her and him getting married.Josh, unfazed by Lilith's hostility, offered her a fleeting glance. While curiosity piqued his mind, urging him to inquire about why she was in handcuffs? What did she do? His indifference prevailed. He simply didn't care about the reason behind her handcuffs. At that precise moment, the reception officer's voice cut through the tense air, calling out to Josh. "Mr. De La Cruz, here is your staff," the officer announced.Turning to look at the office

As the standoff between Alessandra and Antonio intensified, the air crackled with anticipation. The room was filled with the scent of danger, and Josh could feel his heart pounding against his ribs. He knew that this was a confrontation that could end in tragedy, and he couldn't help but fear for his own safety.He was now regretting agreeing to come to this place. If he had known that things would get this intense, he wouldn't have agreed, he would have just stayed at home.Marco chimed in, his tone cold as he said. “I think it's time you leave Alessandra, your presence is not welcome here.” As he said that, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Alessandra. The room fell silent, the tense atmosphere at the moment filling the air. Josh held his breath, his eyes wide with anxiety and anticipation. He was worried that a single gunshot from either Marco or Alessandra's men could unleash a storm of gunfire throughout the entire room. And he didn't want that, he feared that he could get

Josh was stunned by Mario's remark. Son of a traitor? What did he mean by that? Why did he call him that, Josh wondered.He found himself feeling offended and confused at the same time. He didn't like being called the son of a traitor, but he also didn't know why he had been called that. Could it be that maybe his father, whom he had never met had done something, that made Mario say that? “What do you mean by that?” Josh asked, his tone showing his displeasure at the undeserved accusation.The table was filled with an intense atmosphere. Antonio had a surprised expression on his face, as he didn't expect Mario to address Josh like that, the same thing could be said about Giovanni, he was just as shocked as Antonio, not having had anticipated something like this.Mario stood up, a cold look in his eyes as he glared at Josh. “Oh, you don't know? Your father…” Mario was about to say something to Josh, but he didn't finish his sentence, as Giovanni cut him off. "Mario, enough. You will

Mario words hit Josh hard, like a tone of bricks. His offensive remarks cut deep, showing just how much he disliked Josh. It was even more clear to him now that Mario didn't like him, not even slightly, and the fact that he was in the family, didn't sit well with Mario. Josh stayed silent, choosing not to respond to Mario's harsh words. Well, it was not like he had a response for Mario anyways, he was at a loss of words. And honestly, a part of him agreed with Mario, he didn't belong in this family.Lost in his thoughts, he thought about the reality that not everyone in the family welcomed his presence with open arms. It became evident that navigating the dynamics within the family wouldn't be smooth, and Josh recognized the need to adapt and overcome the challenges that lay ahead.Mario eyed Josh, with a derogatory gaze, to him Josh was inferior to him, in every way. “Say something, cat got your tongue?” He asked, a smug smile playing on his lips, expecting Josh to say something aft

After he was done getting ready for the prom event, Josh was ready to leave. He let out a sigh as he grabbed his cellphone and key card and headed towards the door. Grabbing the door knob he was just about to open it, when he heard a knock on the door. Josh opened the door, and Sofia walked inside the room. Sofia was dressed in a stunning golden gown that accentuated her curvy body. The dress flowed effortlessly around her figure, making her look even more beautiful than she already was. Josh was stunned by her beauty when she walked in, but he quickly composed himself.As she walked in, her gaze fell on Josh, and for a moment, she seemed to lose her breath as she just stared at him. His handsomeness was undeniable, the suit made his natural good looks even more noticeable and gave him an air of sophistication she hadn't seen before. “Wow.” She said as she fixed her gaze on him, her eyes filled with admiration. “You look incredible.” She complimented. And she was spot on with that
