His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 697 Just Think Of It As Keeping Me Company 

Instantly, Lysander felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn’t help but think back fearfully to the last look Tiffany gave her before she left. 

The letter abruptly ended at the part where the university student met with an accident. The sender emphasized at the end that these were all messages the student had managed to send him before falling unconscious. As for the cell phone, it was destroyed in the accident on the same day, so he couldn’t provide any evidence, but he swore to heaven about its truth. 

Regarding the matter of the university student from the village, Carol had already arranged for someone to investigate upon Josiah’s instructions. They finally received some notable results. 

“Mr. and Mrs. Guerra, he began, “I’ve gathered some information. He was discovered shortly after the incident. The thugs who attacked him have turned themselves in. However, they all claim that they were stopped by him from harassing a girl, which they couldn’t swallow, hence the retaliation. The girl’s privacy is well–protected, no one knows the true identity of the girl involved. The police handling the case did everything by the book. However, those thugs were flat broke, they couldn’t afford to pay any damages. So, their only option was to serve time. As for the victim, a college student… his life, along with his entire family’s, is completely ruined.” 

Upon hearing the outcome, everyone in the room fell silent. 

In the end, it was Josiah who first voiced his stance. “Arrange for him to receive treatment at the best hospital. The expenses, just like the aid provided to the village, will be taken care of from my personal account. 

He had always been a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Before the official development of the project, all the money came from his personal account. 

Josiah never looked down on anyone just like he did in the past. However, that was simply because, aside from those close to him, he was indifferent to everyone else, 

It seemed that his hardships in the village were not in vain. He had witnessed the fickleness of human nature and gained a deep understanding of the helplessness and grievances of those at the bottom of the social ladder.

Josiah took a deep breath, suppressing the chill in his eyes I didn’t expect them to arrive so soon. It seems I’ve underestimated this Dillon 

Lysander had a subtle premonition. She had always assumed that at most, Tiffany was just a particularly meticulous gul, but that was only toward Josiah 

However, unexpectedly, she was also involved in Dillon’s scheme 

How much did she really know about what Dillon had done in the past? 

Holding the baby in his arms, Josiah wood up and said. “I need to meet with them. Do you want to come with me? 

Niton and Rhizone harbored a particular distaste for Dillon and Tiffany. Yet, for the sake of preserving their village, they were willing to meet with the Holsting

her younger brother’s hand, Nilou declared with a maturity beyond her years, “If they lie. I’ll stand up for our village!” 

“All right, but remember to look out for yourself,” he cautioned. “With me around, there’s no need for you to directly confront them.” 

Nilou nodded, her understanding seemingly tinged with confusion. 

With the baby in his arms, Josiah instinctively turned to Lysander. “Aren’t you coming?” 

Lysander asked, “Do you think I should go?” 

On a grander scale, it was a matter between Guerra Group and Riveron Corporation. On a more personal level, it was about Josiah and Tiffany. Her position was awkward. It wasn’t appropriate for her to get involved, yet it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay out of it either. 

“Just accompany me, okay? You were with me when we met them last night. Now, there are two more. No, actually three. But it’s all right, the more the merrier. After all, there’s strength in numbers.” 

Carol didn’t join in the fuss, instead she said, “Mr. Guerra, I’ll hang up now. 

“All right, you’ve worked hard.” 

Dillon was quite displeased with the conference room. He looked critically at the employee pouring him tea. “Does Mr. Guerra know you’ve arranged for us to meet here?” 

The secretary simply offered a smile, staying silent. After serving the tea, she left 

the room. 

After she left, Tiffany quietly reminded Dillon, “Dad, this is Guerra Group. Be careful with your words. Everyone here could be Josiah’s ears. Haven’t you noticed their attitude toward us has completely changed?” 

“Guerra Group has never been short of rooms. In the past, when you sought him out, you’d always be placed in the lounge of the office suite. But now? If I’m not mistaken, this is the most ordinary conference room, reserved for those they wish to dismiss quickly.”

more humble stance Josiah is currently suspicious of you, but he lacks solid proof. As long as you maintain a modest deineanor, he can’t do anything to you 

After pondering for a moment, Dillon nodded. “You’re right, as always. Tiff, I really owe you for all the help you’ve given me these past few years.” 

“It was only right for me to help you.” 

Tiffany appeared quiet and reserved. Yet, beneath this facade of an innocent little girl that no one would suspect, she had managed to uncover quite a few secrets. 

Dillon had always relied on his daughter. When he heard that there was a chance Josiah might not continue to collaborate with him, his expression instantly turned frantic. 

But in the next moment, Tiffany made a silencing gesture. 

Before Dillon could even compose his startled expression, the conference room door was pushed open from the outside. Then, his expression came into play. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Josiah was seen cradling an infant, not even a year old, in his arms. Accompanying him were two children, both around ten years of age. If Lysander hadn’t been there as well, the scene could have easily been mistaken for a daycare. 

Without knowing whether he was indifferent or genuinely unaware of any issue, Josiah directly pulled Lysander to sit down opposite them. 

Upon seeing their adversary who had once wronged their family, both Nilou and Rhizone cast aside their discomfort. The two quickly occupied the closest single- seater sofa. their eyes intensely fixed on Dillon and Tiffany. 

Dillon was momentarily taken aback, but he didn’t pay them any mind. Instead, he went straight into the opening remarks he had prepared in advance. 

“Mr. Guerra, about the matter you mentioned last night, I’ve thoroughly investigated it. Indeed, I am to blame. I failed to maintain strict control over my subordinates, focusing solely on pushing forward with the project and neglecting their behavior. If I had known earlier that these individuals had the audacity to intindate others. I definitely would not have employed them.”
