Chapter 426 Let Us Talk About Us
Ever since their engagement, Susan had been distant toward Lysanne, her demeanor cold. It was only due to Howard’s presence today that she held back her words, careful not to say anything too harsh.
Lysamie sought help from her father. “Dad, I don’t want to leave…
But this time, Howard was resolute. “You were abroad for many years, so your connections and friends are all there. I need to take care of your mother and can’t look after you anymore. I think it’s better for you to stay overseas.”
Lysanne immediately grew infuriated, pointing at Lysander. “You’re doing all this for her, aren’t you? You’re afraid she’ll be unhappy and refuse to acknowledge you guys, so you don’t want me to annoy her by being around. That’s why you’re chasing me far away–Ahh!”
Suddenly, a sharp, intense pain radiated from her wound.
Tears streaming down her face, Lysanne cried out, “What are you doing? It hurts so much!”
With an emotionless expression, Lysander was pouring disinfectant onto her wound. “It’s for disinfection. Bear with it for a moment.”
“How much longer?”
“I’ll stop when you stop talking
Lysanne pursed her lips but then said defiantly, “Neither of us ended up with Josiah in the end, so I don’t consider it a loss to you.”
“Excuse me! You were dumped, while Lysander chose to leave. There’s a fundamental difference, okay?” Daphne said mockingly, her arms crossed.
“Really? Then can she also willingly give up on the Thorne family’s wealth?”
Howard angrily rebuked, “Lyss!”
“Dad, if she’s truly virtuous, she shouldn’t be playing both sides! On one hand, she doesn’t want to acknowledge you, yet on the other, she wants the Thorne family’s wealth. She claims she won’t reconcile with Josiah, but she’s still entangled with him. Why does she get all the benefits and bask in all the glory? You want me to go abroad so I won’t cause trouble for your biological daughter, fine. But remember, I was legally adopted and brought home by you. According to the law, an adopted daughter has the same inheritance rights as a biological one! I’m entitled to half of the Thorne family’s wealth and the company’s
shares!”
Howard felt a deep sense of disappointment well within him. “We raised you and spoiled you like at princess. You can have a share of our wealth, but only after we’re gone. Are you implying that your mother and I should just die now?”
“There’s no need to split it now. You could draft a will first, agreeing to divide the Thorne family’s assets equally between Dr. Thorne and myself. Once both of you pass on in the distant future, Dr. Thorne and I
can handle the rest ourselves.”
“How do you plan to handle it?”
*If it can!

Howard’s face was etched with disappointment. “Fine, a will, is it? I’ll write it for you right now!”
Lysanne said. “The Thorne family’s assets are now jointly owned by you and Mom, so it requires both of your signatures to be valid. Can Mom write now?”
“If she can’t write, then I’ll just hold her hand and write for her! Would that be acceptable?” Howard, so furious his blood was boiling, asked, “Susan, do you have any paper and pen here?”
Secing the situation escalating. Susan had no choice but to play the peacemaker. “Don’t be rash. You and Molly are still young, so it’s not auspicious to be drafting wills now. Eleanor, did you leave some food aside. for Molly?”
“I did.”
“Pack it up and let Howard take it to the hospital for Molly later,” Susan instructed.
“Yes, Madam.”
Susan asked again. “Lysander, how does this wound look to you?”
By then, Lysander had already disinfected the wound and was now bandaging it with gauze. “It’s a bit deep, but the bleeding has stopped. Just to be on the safe side, she should still go to the hospital for a check–up.
“All right. I’ll call the driver and have him take Lyss to the hospital.”
Susan quickly arranged for a driver, and after ending the call, she said, “The driver is waiting downstairs. Lyss. I’ve already arranged everything with him. He will wait for you at the hospital entrance, and once your wounds are treated, he’ll take you straight home.”
Lysanne asked, “Dad, are you coming back to the hospital with me?”
“No.” Howard’s expression was stony, “I have other matters to attend to,”
“What about Mom?”
“Now you remember to care about your mother? Were you there when she had her surgery? Where were you when she needed someone by her side these past days?”
Lysanne didn’t respond.
“That’s enough, Howard said, “You’ve all grown up, and you have your own though W. From now on,
we’ll each go our separate ways. Whether you decide to go abroad or not, it’s up to you. Susan, make sure to rest well. Lysa and I will be leaving now.”
Susan nodded, a disappointed look on her face. “All right, just send me a message when you get to the hospital.”
“It was no trouble at all. I heard about the situation your family is in, but you saw Josiah’s attitude today. I’ll- try to mediate and see if I can do something about it. The bank will also give you some time to gather the funds for your loan, so don’t worry. Wait for my news.”
22:56 Mon, 3
Daphne was a straightforward woman with an impatient temperament. “Mr. Thorne, there are some people and things in life that just aren’t worth it. When it’s time to let go, you should let go. Indecision can end up hurting the people you care about the most.”
Howard glanced at Lysander, his eyes filled with guilt. “You’re right. We were trying to be fair to everyone, not wanting to fav
one over the other. That’s why Lysa had to endure so much. When her mother was hospitalized, she even had to abandon her career in Stounia and rush back home to be by her side. I was indeed too indecisive.”
Lysander said, “I have no objections.”
“Also, regarding the company shares and other movable assets, I’ll consult a lawyer to draft a contract and transfer everything to your name first. All these are the fruits of your mother and my lifetime of hard work, and they will be yours in the future. There’s no need to divide them. As for Lyss, your mother and I have never treated her unfairly over the years. Giving her some money would just be us extending our kindness to the utmost.

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....
