Chapter 428 Is She Also Your Woman
“I’ve already told you, please stop pestering Zachary so much,” Lysander chided her sister.
“But Zachary himself mentioned that he had some free time today and had to run a few errands in that part of town anyway. It actually works out perfectly, being right on his way,” Michelle countered.
Lysander’s response was tinged with urgency. “I’ve repeatedly told you not to get involved with him….. Michelle, can you please just listen to me?”
“Did things end that badly with Zachary? Why do you seem so eager to avoid him?”
“Just stop questioning me.” Lysander insisted. “Do what you’re told, okay? I’m going to pick up Mom this afternoon. Stay at home and behave yourself, all right?”
“All right, I get it.”
It was only after she had ended the call that Zachary let out a chuckle. “Are you really that frightened of
me?”
Lysander did not offer him a welcoming look. “If you’ve finished what you had to say, then please leave.”
“I’m on my way out, but you might want to consider trying a little harder. After all, Josiah is a man who once had genuine feelings for you. If things get desperate… you might have to make some sacrifices. You know, with most men, as long as their physical needs are met, all other matters can usually be negotiated…”
Lysander glared at him furiously. “You must really have been born the wrong gender. If you were a woman, I imagine you’d be using your body to barter for all kinds of favors.”
“You should count yourself fortunate,” he retorted. “If Josiah wasn’t straight, I might actually find him quite appealing.”
Lysander responded with scorn, “Well then, I wish you bright future.”
With a dismissive gesture, she turned her back, neatly sidestepped him, and strode away with determination.
Zachary’s voice followed her retreat, resonating through the air, “I’ll be eagerly awaiting your good news.”
Later that afternoon, Lysander caught a taxi and journeyed to the bus station to collect her mother, Laura.
When Laura appeared, it was evident she was far from fine; the redness in her eyes was a silent testament to tears recently shed, likely a result of her less–than–ideal visit back to her hometown.
Laura confessed, “Your eldest uncle is planning on constructing a home but finds himself short of the necessary funds; your second uncle’s daughter is preparing for marriage, needing a sizable dowry, leaving him strapped for cash too. And your aunt, she’s not faring well either, so I found it too difficult to broach the subject with her.”
Embracing her mother warmly, Lysander consoled her, “Let’s not lose heart, we’ll tackle these issue’s one at a time. We still have a few days left; I’ll figure something out.”
Laura asked, “By the way, Lysa, you’re close to Daphne, aren’t you? Maybe you could inquire if she could…”

Chapter 428 Is She Also Your Woman
myriad problems, the Everharts were not in a position to assist.
“I’ll look into it, but let me take you home first,” Lysander reassured her, feeling the weight of the numerous complications that seemed to converge upon her return to her homeland.
After ensuring her mother was settled at home and sternly advising them against contacting Zachary, Lysander made her way directly to Guerra Group’s towering office building.
Zachary’s earlier words rang true–being marked by someone of his character was a recipe for ceaseless trouble. Zachary had made it clear he was not one to relent until his goals were achieved.
Upon her arrival at the Guerra Group building, Lysander was met with the news from a receptionist that Josiah was not present.
Has he gone shopping with his new girlfriend again?
Without Tiffany’s contact details, Lysander had no option but to turn to Zane for assistance.
The atmosphere around Zane was distinctly chaotic; the faint sound of billiard balls clashing was audible in the background.
“Sounds like you’re at a billiard lounge?” Lysander guessed.
Zane responded with a nonchalant hum, “Seems like Josiah has reignited his interest in pool. He was here just the other day, and now he’s back.”
“Still hanging out with the usual crowd?” Lysander probed.
Zane exhaled sharply.
“What’s wrong?
“It’s complicated,” he replied cryptically, “You’ll see what I mean when you get here.”
Hearing this, Lysander surmised the situation’must’ve been complicated..
Despite being somewhat prepared, Lysander was still surprised upon her arrival at the billiard lounge.
Among them, ‘Lysander immediately recognized one–a woman with vibrant red lips and luxuriantly wavy hair, whom she had seen with Josiah in Skywatch under the moonlight. She sat casually next to Josiah, holding his blazer and a cigarette with practiced ease, the smoke swirling around her.
Zane ran his fingers through his hair, his expression perplexed. “I’m not sure what Josiah’s plan is, but it seems these women aren’t bothered by each other’s presence. It’s not our place to comment, really.”
Zane chuckled, “What can Lysanne do? She just has to put up with whatever Josiah decides. As for Tiffany…” He trailed off as he felt a piercing gaze on him.
“Did you call me, Josiah?” Zane hurried over to him after shooting Lysander a look. “What’s wrong?”
Josiah glanced at Lysander and frowned. “Why is she here again?”

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....
