The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 220
Chapter 220 Three Men
Lysander, too, felt a bit awkward.
She hadn’t had much contact with Zachary for many years and really didn’t know if he could play pool.
Luckily, Adrian didn’t say much. He picked up the cue, walked to the edge of the table, and asked. “What do you want to play? Eight–ball or snooker?”
Zachary replied, “I can play both.”
“It seems like Mr. Powell can play quite well, ch?”
“I’m all right.”
Lysander didn’t know much about pool, so she could only stand by the side and watch.
She guessed they were playing eight–ball. She had once seen a famous player from Ecron on TV playing snooker, using all kinds of hidden ball techniques.
However, those two didn’t seem to have any intention of using hidden ball techniques; they were both desperately trying to pocket the balls as quickly as possible.
The last black eight–ball was potted by Zachary
Did Zachary actually win the game?
Lysander was somewhat shocked.
Zachary chuckled and remarked, “You let me win, Mr. Sutton.”
Adrian, on the other hand, wore a stern expression and replied earnestly, “I didn’t let you win, Mr. Powell. Your skills are indeed exceptional.”
“Shall we play another round?”
“Sure.”
It seemed the two had found worthy opponents in each other and started another round.
Just then, Daphne arrived to report the results.
“So, that girl is the granddaughter of the Stone family from East Harborbrook. She’s an Atharia–born Ecronian, raised abroad since childhood, and just turned twenty this year. She’s been studying fashion design in Atharia and just came back less than half a month ago. I was wondering how there could be someone in Harborbrook that I don’t know. Turns out, I’ve never met her!”
Lysander, not very familiar with the names in high society, asked, “What’s the Stone family like?”
“It depends on who you compare them with. Compared to the Guerra family and the Sutton family, they’re not as prominent, but they do surpass my family slightly. The Stone family has a long–standing presete in the clothing business; they’re reputed to be quite formidable.”
Chapter 220 Three Men
“Oh, let’s not delve into that. The Stone family has faced tragic losses. Initially, Old Mr. Stone had four sons, but then there was a plane crash, and three of them passed away, leaving only the third son behind. He later got married and had a daughter, the one in your photo, but not long after, he met with a car
Lysander frowned and asked, “So, did the Stone family not have any children after that?”
Fantastic! Yet another only daughter, and this one is truly precious. She might very well be groomed to take over the family business in the future. She was raised abroad under the attentive care of her family. She’s in her early twenties and relatively inexperienced with the world. All these make her quite easy to handle.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
