His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 724 Making An Example Given his position, he would definitely not dare to cause a scene outside of Josiah's office, unless he had someone backing him up. Holding Josiah's handwritten letter, Lysander covered the date with her palm and approached the door to open it.

"Wait a moment!" Carol and Peter quickly positioned themselves in front of her, fearing that she might get hurt by the outsiders.

"No worries, they wouldn't dare." After Lysander had a narrow escape from death, she had becquite familiar with the tactics of these kinds of people. They were just all bark and no bite.

The office door had barely swung open when the person wielding the safety hammer, ready to break it down, froze in their tracks. Then, in the blink of an eye, they retreated behind the project manager, Henry Fowler, whom Lysander had met once.

Henry was taken aback to find Lysander unexpectedly in the office, his eyes widening in surprise. "When did you cin?" Lysander lowered her eyes slightly, paying him no attention.

Carol immediately responded, "Mr. Fowler, please be mindful of your words." Henry wanted to accuse Carol of riding on someone else's coattails, but seeing Lysander nearby, he had to consider the latter's status and reluctantly corrected himself. "Mrs. Guerra, I'm truly sorry. I hadn't noticed you before. This is a misunderstanding." Lysander then said in a soft voice, "It's okay, I just arrived myself. I took Josiah's private elevator." The reason Henry took the risk of causing trouble, despite the looming threat of future repercussions, was to figure out a way to transfer the money.

Although the personal seal was nowhere to be seen, Carol was around.

Regardless of whether it was through intimidation or temptation, as long as Carol was willing to "unofficially" pull sstrings at the finance department, he was more than happy to share sof the benefits with her. After all, they could both prosper together.

Once the money was sent out, it would be too late to change anything. Even if Riveron Corporation found themselves powerless to reverse the situation, they wouldn't miss out on their kickback.

Now that Lysander had suddenly shown up, it was no longer possible to persuade Carol to switch sides.

All colors drained from Henry's face. As the situation got out of hand, he was about to lead the others away, planning to cback another day with a new strategy. However, Lysander called him out and stopped him.

"Since Mr. Fowler is here, there's no need to rush off. I happen to have something to discuss." Henry was visibly annoyed. "What can I do for you, Mrs. Guerra?" "You've been fired." These words hit like a bolt from the blue.

Henry turned around, pointing at Lysander incredulously. "Mrs. Guerra, I'm addressing you this way out of respect for Mr. Guerra. Don't think that just because you were once married to him you can do whatever you please. Everyone knows that he's " His words abruptly cto a halt, upon noticing the appointment letter in Lysander's hand.

Everyone in the entire company recognized Josiah's handwriting and seal.

Henry's face sank. He even dared to sneak a peek through the slightly ajar office door, afraid that Josiah might actually be inside.

Could this so-called disappearance be a mere setup? Lysander was both firm and gentle, maintaining a calm demeanor as she asked, "Are you taking the severance package and leave on your own, or should I call the police and have you investigated?" Undeniably, there was something off about Henry. However, she wasn't Josiah, and she couldn't control the ambitious individuals within the company. For now, the only option was to send them away with a severance package.

Henry's rank wasn't particularly high, but the compensation he received was already quite substantial. Assessing the situation, he left without uttering a word. Half a day later, the news of Lysander making an example of someone had spread throughout the company.

Carol seized the moment and announced Lysander's temporary replacement for Josiah's position on the company's intranet. The news caused an immediate uproar within Guerra Group, with ordinary employees eagerly gossiping about the situation. As for the directors who had dealings with Riveron Corporation and had always been restless, they were itching to make a move.

While Lysander was struggling to hold up the mantle of Guerra Group, she also had to divert her attention to take care of Nieva's baby. She was as busy as a spinning top, no longer having the tto ponder about Josiah's whereabouts.

Thankfully, Nilou and Rhizone were quite sensible. After Molly and Howard found a school for them, they were taken care of by Eleanor and the driver from Guerra Group. They obediently began attending school, making remarkable progress in no time.

The addition of these two lively and adorable children seemed to have lifted Susan's spirits at home.

Life had to go on, after all. Besides, if the outcwas indeed predestined, then no news was the best news for them.

That evening, after putting Aurora to sleep as usual, Lysander began to handle her work. Although she had the assistance of Carol and Monica, she had been supporting the rural areas for so long. Trying to understand the current situation was still quite draining.

After experiencing a kidnapping, Aurora had beceven more sensitive and fragile than before. Normally, she could still play for a while with Nilou and Eleanor. However, when she was tired and needed to sleep, she absolutely wouldn't allow anyone other than Lysander to hold her.

Lysander had no other choice but to look after Aurora every night. "Mmm..." Aurora had a restless sleep, whimpering from the rocking cradle on one side.

Upon spotting a series of crucial figures, Lysander immediately said without a second thought, "Josiah, could you please look after her for a while?" As her words fell into silence, there was no response. The only sound that echoed was Aurora's crying.

As if roused from a dream, Lysander suddenly remembered that Josiah had been missing for over a week. He could no longer help with taking care of the baby, as he did when they first returned to the old house. When he was around, she never had to worry about these things. Even if he chlate from work, he always made sure to check on Aurora before going to sleep.

Lysander gently picked up the baby, softly patting her back in comfort. She paced around the bedroomm several times before her cries finally subsided. However, just as she was about to carefully place her back into the crib, the child began to squirm restlessly again. "Sweetheart, don't worry. I'll always be by your side." Lysander understood where the baby's unease was coming from. Such a young child hadn't even started forming memories yet, but it didn't mean she was oblivious to what was happening around her.

First, it was her mother, then Josiah, who had taken meticulous care of her, both of them successively vanished from her life. This made her develop a strong attachment to the only person left by her side, her caregiver.

Lysander felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She had been soothing the baby to sleep before she could return to her work. By the end, she was so exhausted that she didn't even have the energy to move to a different sleeping spot. She simply collapsed onto her desk. The following morning, she was awakened by Aurora's crying.

Lysander showed no signs of impatience, methodically changing diapers and feeding formula. Only when the baby was happily playing, did she hurriedly eat a few bites of bread, considering it as her breakfast. Upon seeing her finish her tasks and about to leave, Laura hurriedly handed her a cup of milk. "Don't rush. Take your tto eat. You woke up so early today. There's no need to worry about not getting everything done." "Right, I know," Lysander hastily agreed, taking a quick sip. She dared not waste even half a minute more, as she was rushing to attend a meeting at Guerra Group.

Susan knew that she was working herself to the bone to keep Guerra Group stable. So, wheneve Lysander not at home, she would do her was ve best to play with Aurora for longer periods, so Lysander could rest more when she returned in the evening.

Meanwhile, a few shareholders of Guerra Group were already discussing plans to intimidate Lysander.

"If it was truly a decision made by Mr. Guerra, we would accept slosses. But with Mr. Guerra absent and no reliable information available, who can tell if this so-called temporary replacement is legitimate or not?" "She was able to fire a manager the day before yesterday, and today she could easily let our people go under the guise of temporary management." "Sure, Mr. Guerra has the final say at the company, given his superior capabilities. But she has never been involved in any related work. She's a complete novice. Why should she be in charge? Just sideline her..." "Back then, it might have been possible. But now, with her holding onto Mr. Guerra's personal seal, how could she be sidelined?"
