Chapter 230 When The Husband Fails
The next morning, she set off just after five o’clock, taking a taxi to the hotel.
Priscilla was doing fine. She was just so excited she couldn’t sleep the night before after hearing Lysander’s plans.
Lysander ordered takeout for her, comforted her for a while, and then took a taxi to the hospital.
After returning from making her rounds, she saw Daphne’s message: Josiah does work speedily.
Below the message was a link to a news article: Lora Barron, the heiress of Seamus Corporation, returns to the country to take over the position of business department director.
When Lysander called Daphne, the latter seemed to have been waiting. The first sentence she said when she picked up was, “You’re finally done with work!”
“Uh huh, I just got back from making rounds this morning. I’ve seen the news.”
“Hahahaha. I can’t believe how fast Josiah acts. He might not be a good husband, but his work efficiency is indeed commendable.”
Lysander asked, “This Lora, have you seen her before? Will she be recognized by the others?”
“You can rest assured that the boss of Seamus Corporation has a daughter, but she is an illegitimate one and was hidden very well. Previously, hardly anyone knew of her, and no one has seen what she looks like. In other words, no one is even sure whether her name is Lora or not.”
Lysander nodded.
Daphne chuckled. “The day you told me about this plan and asked me to see Josiah, I wondered if the celebrities and elites of Harborbrook were basically in the same social circle. Everyone saw each other frequently, so how could there possibly be an extraordinary daughter that no one has ever seen before? Moreover, Harry is not a fool, if there is even a slight hint of deception, he will not fall for it. So, Josiah is really impressive to be able to find someone with a suitable capacity this quickly.”
Lysander didn’t know much about their circle, so she simply inquired further, “That girl is an illegitimate daughter. Does that mean there are other heirs to Seamus Corporation?”
“Yes, there are. The boss of Seamus Corporation does have an elder daughter. However, she is a good wife and mother who doesn’t fight for anything. She got married and had children at a young age. Her husband isn’t really capable either. Their family is quite down–to–earth and doesn’t have any grand ambitions. Therefore, there are often rumors that, in the future, Seamus Corporation might be handed over to the younger daughter who is overseas.”
Lysander quickly understood the situation. “Who’s the candidate? Who are we looking for?”
Daphne replied, “I also want to know, so why don’t you come with me to the cocktail party tonight? Let’s go and enjoy the drama!”
According to Daphne, Seamus Corporation was hosting a cocktail party that evening to welcome the returning Lora and many people were invited.
“What, does he also have a mistress now?”
“So why are you suddenly cooling down on him? That childhood friend of yours seems to have a good temperament. Oh. I just remembered the other day that we even participated in a speech competition together when he was in school.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
