Chapter 409 Private Jet
“Could you possibly relay a message to Mr. Gucira for me? The collaboration with Riveron Corporation is crucial for the Everhart family. Given the vast array of options available to Guerra Group, there’s no need for it to fixate on Riveron Corporation, is there?”
Lysander was left utterly bewildered. “What’s this about Riveron Corporation?”
Daphne was originally engrossed in her phone. Upon hearing those words, she became somewhat flustered, tossing aside the cutlery she was holding. “Dad, what are you saying? What’s all this about Riveron Corporation and mergers? Moreover, Lysander and Josiah are already divorced. They have no relationship with each other anymore. You know that!”
Rufus sighed. “Of course I know, but… Well, let me just be frank with you. The Everhart family has been in partnership with the Riveron Corporation for over a decade, and our relationship has always been solid. However, this year, Guerra Group unexpectedly extended an offer to Riveron Corporation, and they immediately signed a contract. A project that was about to break ground has now come to a halt due to issues with procuring building materials. As you know, every day on the construction site costs money!”
Lysander furrowed her brows slightly. “Mr. Everhart, I don’t really understand these business matters. Even when we were married, I never interfered with Josiah’s work. And now, we’ve already divorced… I’m afraid I may not be of any help with this.”
“I understand. This matter must put you in a difficult position. However, when you were trapped in a fire, I saw with my own eyes how Mr. Guerra risked his life to save you. There’s no doubt that you hold a special place in his heart. Lysander, I wouldn’t have come to you if I wasn’t out of options.”
Daphine hurriedly exclaimed, “Dad, are you losing your mind? Lysander already said she didn’t understand. Aren’t you deliberately making things difficult for her?”
“Harper, Lysander was married to Josiah for three years. I know you two are close, but have I ever asked. her for a favor? If it weren’t for this emergency, I wouldn’t have swallowed my pride…” Rufus rambled on. roughly explaining the situation.
At last, Lysander had finally understood what was going on.
The Everhart family was in the business of materials, dealing in everything from renovation materials to interior decoration supplies.
Their primary clientele consisted of major construction firms, which included Guerra Group. Guerra Group could be considered the Everhart family’s biggest client.
Riveron Corporation, meanwhile, was a small–scale supplier. The Everhart family would source raw materials from Riveron Corporation, process those materials, and then transform them into various construction materials needed by clients, earning the processing fees in between.
However, Guerra Group suddenly and directly worked with Riveron Corporation. The former had even invested in a factory for the latter. That essentially meant the two were bypassing the Everhart family to work together.
The capital that the Everhart family had initially invested was all borrowed from the bank. If they lost that business deal, they wouldn’t just be unable to repay the principal amount, but the already constructed factory might even be auctioned off by the bank.

there is no other choice.”
“Dad!” Daphne exclaimed, abruptly discarding her cutlery, “If it really comes down to it, just sell the apartment you bought for me and my car, too. Use the money to repay the bank.”
“Silly child, that’s not enough money! Even the interest alone is more than that!”
“Then-“Before Daphne could finish speaking, Rufus‘ phone began to ridg.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Rufus grimaced. “What happened?”
A moment later, he shouted, “What?! Call 911 first. I’ll be there immediately!”
Daphne noticed her father’s pale complexion and knew something was amiss. She quickly asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?
“Your grandmother’s condition has suddenly worsened. We need to rush to the hospital.”
Upon hearing that, Lysander also stood up and said, “Daphne, let me come with you. I did study medicine, after all. There’s a chance I might be able to help.
Daphne paled and was at her wit’s end. “All right, let’s go.”
Lysander told her parents, “You two eat first. I’ll go with them.”
Then, grabbing her coat, she quickly followed the Everhart family out.
When the trio rushed back to the Everhart residence, the ambulance had just arrived.
Delores was wheeled into the ambulance, and Lysander hopped in right after her.
“Dr. Thorne?” said someone.
Lysander glanced over, recognizing the individual speaking. “Dr. Ivan. The patient is an elder of my friend’s family. How are things?”
Ivan nodded. After assessing Dolores‘ condition, he shook his head slightly. “It doesn’t look too promising
Daphne’s eyes were red. “Didn’t the doctor say she was stable before? Why is this happening so suddenly?”
“Last time, her fall led to a fracture and a brain hemorrhage. After the surgery, her condition stabilized. However, her blood vessels are fragile, and there’s always a risk of another brain hemorrhage. Dr. Thorne, you should understand this.”
Ivan said, “At this point, I can only make a preliminary diagnosis. We need to get to the hospital for a cranial CT scan to confirm. If the bleeding is too severe, I’m afraid…
Lysander said “Let’s first take a look at the CT scan
Daphne quickly supported Rufus. “Dad, are you okay?”
Rufus‘ face was ashen. “Doctor, if we proceed with the craniotomy, is there a high probability of success?”
The doctor said. “The patient is quite elderly, and a craniotomy is a major surgery. The risks involved are significantly higher for them than for the average person. However, if we don’t proceed with the operation, the bleeding will continue to increase, leading ultimately to brain death.”
“Then do it!” Daphne gritted her teeth. “Doctor, please perform the surgery on my grandmother as soon as possible. At least with the surgery, there’s a glimmer of hope.”
The neurosurgeon glanced at Lysander with a hint of discomfort. “Our hospital’s Dr. Jenner, who is capable of performing craniotomies, happens to be in Apex City for a conference. Our hospital can’t perform the surgery at this moment!”

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....
