His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 735 Returning The Favor Lysander was aware of the specifics, but she was not able to share what Nieva had told her about Josiah with anyone else, not even Daphne. With a concerned tone, she asked, "Was Etargeting you?" "No." Daphne shared the good news with her.

"Although the loan I secured was less than initially expected, it was still enough to rejuvenate Everhart Corporation's cash flow. I also took over Riveron Corporation's orders, effectively reviving the company. By the tmy father returns, I'll have something positive to report." For someone who was handling a company for the first time, these results were already quite remarkable.

Lysander truly had no interest in doing business. The only reason she had stepped in to help previously was out of necessity, not choice. Seeing Daphne find her life's purpose in it now, she genuinely felt happy for her.

However, for such a large contract, there were many potential partners that Guerra Group could choose from.

The decision to entrust Daphne was likely because of her.

Lysander chuckled softly. "Now, you can finally set aside your worries. Mr. Everhart can rest easy too." When Lysander was previously staying at a resort to learn the ropes of business, Dillon had once used the pretext of wanting to collaborate with Everhart Corporation and asked her to get in touch with Daphne.

This was about a substantial order initially set to be produced by Riveron Corporation. She pondered over it, fearing both that Daphne would be taken advantage of, and that Everhart Corporation might not be able to hold on if they couldn't find customers after the controversy. In the end, she simply handed the decision-making power over to Daphne.

Looking back now, it seems that Dillon's actions at the twere likely influenced by Tiffany.

Lysander was recalling the last look Tiffany had toward the fire scene, it gave her the creeps. She explained the situation to Daphne, "I'm worried that the so-called clients of Riveron Corporation might be in cahoots with them. Be extra careful with everything." Whenever Daphne reflected on her encounters with Tiffany, it felt as though she had lived through a terrifying dream. She found herself nodding repeatedly, as though stuck in a trance.

"The payment has been settled, but not with Riveron Corporation, rather with the client who had originally entrusted them with the goods. Thanks to your warning, I was extra cautious. Otherwise, I would have definitely been duped last time." "It was only right that I warned you. After all, they went through such lengths, havingact as a go-between to reach out to you. They must've had ulterior motives." Even now, Lysander's heart still held lingering fear.

Daphne wore a puzzled expression. "Go-between? Didn't you directly sendan email last time? The one you sent when you were at Thorne Constructions and Energies." "Email?" "Yeah." However, as soon as the words were spoken, both individuals sensed that something was amiss.

She had Daphne's phone number and WhatsApp, so why on earth would she go out of her way to use email? "Is that...?" Daphne sneakily glanced at Josiah, who was not far away. "Did he send it to me?" "It should be." She hadn't expected that not only had he helped manage Thorne Constructions and Energies for a while after she had left, but he had also taken Daphne's matter to heart.

Daphne's pupils quivered in an instant, she was so incredulous that she found herself at a loss for words. Lysander saw the look of disbelief in her eyes and shrugged helplessly. "I had just lost my father and was falling apart back then. I couldn't have thought of something so profound and detailed." Reflecting on those past events, she felt as if she had been shattered into pieces and then painstakingly put back together again.

Just as Daphne was about to ask further, voices echoed from the living room. It was the arrival of Howard and Molly, and accompanying them was Michelle.

After the burial of Maverick, Michelle had to part ways with Laura to return hand prepare for her final exams as she needed to continue her studies.

And Lysander, not wanting her to worry, always shared the good news and kept the bad to herself, never mentioning the events that had transpired around her recently.

Unexpectedly, Howard and Molly really did as they said, treating Michelle as if she were their own daughter. Thinking of the family gathering that evening, they went out of their way to pick her up.

"Lysander!" With tears brimming in her eyes, Michelle rushed over and gave Lysander a solid, heartfelt hug. Lysander quickly embraced her. "Why are you crying out of the blue? It's okay, stop crying. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?" On the road, Michelle had clarified the situation with Howard and Molly. Upon hearing the comforting words from her sister, who had narrowly escaped death, her crying intensified.

Upon seeing the situation, Lysander was somewhat at a loss. She and her sister, Michelle, had grown up together since childhood, and it was rare for Michelle to cry so intensely.

Upon seeing the situation, Daphne immediately understood what was going on and shook her head, saying, "You always keep things from her Now that she knows, wouldn't she be scared? You'realways so focused on treating those around you well, but have you ever considered that they feel the sway about you? When you're in danger, it's even more distressing for us than when we're in danger ourselves!" These words struck a chord with Lysander, it was as if a light bulb suddenly went off in her head. In a soft voice, she said to Michelle, "I'm sorry, Michelle. I will definitely take better care of myself from now on." Michelle took a deep breath, finally managing to exchange her tears for a smile and stopped crying.

That night, the dining table at the Guerra family's old house buzzed with activity after a long while. Howard, Molly, Susan, and Laura were engrossed in delightful conversations. Michelle also took a liking to Nilou and Rhizone. They chatted about everything but serious matters, parting reluctantly only when it was late into the night.

Upon seeing Josiah returning after meeting with Howard and Molly, Lysander seemed to regain sof her vitality. She didn't say much, but internally, she felt relieved.

"We live so close to each other. Once you're feeling better, why don't you take Josiah over for a visit? I owe him a huge favor and I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in this lifetime." He looked at Lysander, clearly wanting to get closer to his daughter, yet he could only mention it under the guise of talking about Josiah.

Compared to the Thorne family next door, it was Guerra family that felt more familiar to Lysander. Lysander still had a bit of unease lingering in her heart. Instead, she engaged in a conversation with him and Molly about sknowledge related to a patient's recovery period before bidding them goodbye.

As for whether or not to frequently visit, neither a refusal nor an agreement was given.

Josiah observed everything, waiting patiently. Once Michelle left to converse with Laura, and when it was tfor Lysander to soothe Aurora, he finally took the opportunity to sit by her side and gently started the conversation. "I'm sorry, I seemed to have overstepped my boundaries tonight," he said. He wished Lysander could have two more relatives, after all, blood is thicker than water.

"You don't need to say things like that." Lysander gently looked down at Aurora's tender face. "It's not that I don't want to see them, they've helpeda lot." Josiah sighed. "In family, there's no need for the word 'help'. It's only natural that we support each other."

The tthat had slipped away could never be retrieved, leaving a complex mix of emotions in Lysander's heart. Ultimately, all she could do was let out a sigh. Josiah rarely had this much free time. Initially, the plan was to use this period of convalescence to foster their relationship. Unexpectedly, it backfired.

Fortunately, Lysander showed no sign of displeasure, she simply raised another matter.

"You were the one who suggested Daphne to directly approach Riveron Corporation's clients, weren't you? I never thought there would cla day when you'd send an email using E my name. I should thank her on your behalt for this. If she hadn't promptly reached out to them, we might have been played by Riveron Corporation. Right, and about Michelle, you asked someone to look out for her at school, didn't you?"

With the evidence provided by Josiah, it was impossible for Dillon, who was detained, to be released on bail. His future held nothing but a long stint in jail. As for Tiffany, who was still on the fun, she was now a wanted fugitive. Unless she never returned, she would be arrested the moment she showed up. Waiting for the outcof Riveron Corporation's situation was undeniably like waiting for the inevitable seizure. The companies that were still in collaboration with them could do nothing but swallow the bitter pill of loss. Josiah was taken aback, his gaze wavering for a moment. Touching the tip of his nose uneasily, he said, "It's only fair to return a favor. You've already alertedto issues with Riveron Corporation. Of course, I couldn't stand by and watch your friend walk into a trap." Lysander's gaze softened slightly, then asked, "Why didn't you tellwhat you've done? If I hadn't brought it up, I might have remained in the dark." "Because I fear your gratitude," Josiah said, gazing deeply into her eyes, wishing he could freeze tat this very moment.

"I want you to live a happy and fulfilling life, not constantly putting others before yourself and forgetting about your own needs."
