Lysander sat in the chair, gripping the armrests on either side of her. After she escaped the confines of the ropes,
this was the only thing she could hold onto.
If the people outside were there for her, she would immediately find a way to make a commotion.
It was clear that the ten million was out of reach. Upon realizing this, the thugs were likely to revert back to
Tiffany's side, putting her in danger once again.
When he heard someone was approaching, the leader's first instinct was to flee. However, the thought of the
money he hadn't yet secured kept him from panicking entirely. Composing himself, he turned to his subordinates
and instructed, “Take this woman along!”
As soon as he said that, Lysander stood up, picked up the chair, and hurled it toward him.
The leader hadn't expected that this cooperative hostage would suddenly fight back. He was caught off guard
and knocked to the ground on the spot.
Lysander turned and ran, heading straight for the staircase furthest from the thugs.
After the thug responsible for keeping watch had left, there was no one left upstairs.
From her observations, she noticed that there was another staircase on the second floor leading outside.
The thugs were completely taken aback by this sudden turn of events. Sof them scrambled to help their
leader, while others, a bit more astute, knew that if Lysander managed to escape, none of them would get away.
They quickly chased after her.
In the midst of the chaos, the warehouse door was abruptly kicked open from the outside.
Upon discovering that the lock hanging on the door was not tightly fastened, merely loosely latched, Josiah knew
he was on the right track. When he heard the chaotic noise emanating from within, he couldn’t even be bothered
to wait for the tit would take to pick the lock and open the door. He simply barged in with brute force.
In an instant, the sunlight from outside illuminated the dimly lit warehouse.
Having already escaped to the second floor, Lysander merely lowered her head and unexpectedly cface to
face with Josiah. The sudden encounter caused both their hearts to tighten, as they hadn't anticipated meeting
in such a tense moment.
When the leader had taken on this job from Tiffany, he had seen a picture of Josiah. Inmediately, he cried out,
“He’s Josiah Guerra. If he gets out alive, we're all finished!”
The thugs thought about the money they had just received. They didn’t want to earn money only to die without
spending it. So, for the moment, they didn’t care about the possible danger. They quickly shifted their focus and
rushed toward Josiah, surrounding him.
From her vantage point, Lysander clearly saw his state at that moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosiah was in a state of complete disarray. His coat was nowhere to be found, and his light-colored shirt was
erly unkempt. The collar of his shirt, liberated from the constraint of a tie, was flipped up on one side. Upon
closer inspection, there were traces of blood on it. It was the blood fro

As for the wound that was wrapped in gauze, it had already split open during his relentless running, continuously
seeping blood.
The urgent care provided by the family doctor had seffect on controlling the wound, but it couldn't stop him
from seeing finding Lysander as the most important thing at that moment. If it weren't for the stitches done in
advance, he might have worsened his injury by now.
Lysander’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears, expressing both worry and guilt as she asked, “Are you alone?”
“Yeah, | didn’t have tto wait for others, so | chere by myself first.”
Lysander anxiously said, “But there are so many of them. What can you possibly do by yourself?”
Are you marching to your doom all alone?
Josiah remained stoic. “I'm here to take you home.”
He scrutinized her meticulously, noting that aside from the dust she had rubbed onto herself, she was unharmed.
Only then did he shift his icy gaze toward the approaching thugs.
Perhaps it was due to her underestimation of Lysander that Tiffany had only arranged for a group of average
thugs to guard her. However, they did have the advantage in numbers. If he wanted to take Lysander away
without a single hair on her head harmed, it would likely still require seffort.
“I'm offering you two choices. Take the money you already have and leave. | won't hold past grudges.
Alternatively, you can take a risk and try your luck. But remember, as long as I'm still here, you won't stand a
chance.”
As Josiah spoke, he casually lifted his gaze toward the group of thugs. Despite his severe injuries and his pale
complexion, the aura of authority he carried was still intimidating.
Meanwhile, while their attention was all focused on Josiah, Lysander seized the opportunity to silently rush up to
the second floor. She managed to escape outside, using the staircase built on the side of the outer wall.
Although Josiah didn’t say it outright, she understood everything when their eyes met.
He had arrived in haste, but she anticipated that others would be there soon as well. Instead of waiting
helplessly inside, she decided it would be better to quickly venture out and seek assistance.
Lysander hadn't rested for a full day and night, not even taking a moment to eat or drink. She was physically
drained, running purely on fumes. It was her unwavering determination to save Josiah that kept her going,
driving her
h the outside of the warehouse.
If she ventured a bit further, she might just encounter the person who cwith Josiah.
Lysander gritted her teeth, persevering. Upon hearing footfall echoing from around the corner, she quickly called
out for help, “I'm here! Hurry up and save Josiah... He's in the warehouse ahead...”
Her voice was hoarse, her throat dry as if she had swallowed a burning coal, but she still managed to muster all
her strength to raise her voice to its highest.
Upon hearing the sound, the person quickened their pace and walked over.

Hope ignited in Lysander’s heart. She believed they were on the brink of rescue. However, her expression froze
the moment she got a clear look at the newcomer’s face.
The person who appeared before her eyes was none other than Tiffany.
It was a rare sight to see Tiffany not dolled up to the nines. After she had dropped the pretense, she seemed
somewhat eerie. Strangely enough, her makeup was meticulously applied, with the color of her lipstick being
exceptionally vivid.
She was a far cry from her usual image of being a docile and adorable doll.

Lysander listened to her chilling tone, feigning anger as she retorted, “Even without me, Josiah can never have a
child with you. Your womb is congenitally underdeveloped. With the current medical technology, it’s simply
untreatable!”
This was the painful secret that Tiffa
ad always wanted to hide.
If she showed her anger here, the people who had csearching with Josiah would surely notice.
A wild glint flashed in Tiffany's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and asked, “Are you trying to pick a
fight with me, deliberately stalling for twhile waiting for backup?”
Lysander’s provocation strategy had failed.
Tiffany laughed confidently and said, “Do you think I'm as naive and foolish as Lyss? If | were in her shoes, |
certainly wouldn't have ended up like her. She is ridiculously stupid.”
