Chapter 458 Josiah Gave Too Much
“What is this?”
“Nothing-
She swiftly grabbed it before they could stop her.
Maverick brushed it off. I’ve said it before, it’s nothing!
As he spoke, he casually folded the paper over and over again, then slipped it into his own pocket.
However, Lysander had read it in time.
“Where did you guys borrow it from?”

“A friend of mine. Maverick said impatiently. “I told you not to interfere with this matter, so just stay out
of it.”
Lysander’s tone turned harsh. “Which friend of yours can casually lend you two million? What did you promise them?”
“I said we’re just friends, and that’s all there is to it! Don’t meddle in adult affairs. Just focus on your work and live your life. I’m the head of this household and what I say goes.”
“Dad, tell me the truth,” Lysander said.
“I’m telling the truth! If you don’t believe me, so be it,” Maverick said, frustration turning into anger. He then turned and headed to his bedroom. “I’m tired, I’m going to bed.”
Laura took her hand, gently persuading in a warm voice, “Your dad’s just like that. Try not to take it to
heart.
Lysander was also quite frustrated. “I obviously know what kind of temper my dad has, but two million isn’t a small amount. Mom, you have to tell me.”
Laura gazed at her daughter, caught between the desire to speak and the hesitation to do so,
In the end, Laura quietly led her into the kitchen, shutting the door before she dared to speak. “The man should be trustworthy. He was all suited up, even wore glasses, seemed like an educated person, and more importantly, he’s a friend of Zach. Even if we don’t trust him, we always trust Zach, don’t we?”
Upon hearing this, alarm bells started ringing in Lysander’s heart. “Zachary said it was his friend?”
“Exactly, he’s a credit officer at the bank, specializing in approving loans, and he can offer us a slightly lower interest rate. Don’t worry, we’ve asked around. That young man’s job is specifically to find people to lend money to, earning interest for the bank and getting a commission in return. So, not only is Zach doing us a favor, he’s also helping his friend meet his performance targets. It’s quite a good arrangement.”
“What’s the interest rate?”
“It seems it was ten percent,” Laura said, “The young man was quite nice, he only charged us eight percent.”

“No, no, it was zero point eight percent,” Laura explained. “Your father and I even went to the bank to inquire. If we were to borrow this much money from the bank, the interest rate would at least be five percent. Borrowing from him, the interest was significantly less.”
Lysander was still uneasy. “I need to take a close look at that loan agreement.”
Saying this, she walked over and knocked on the door. “Dad, could you please open the door?”
No one responded.
Lysander’s temper flared. “Dad, I know you’re not asleep yet. Let me take a look at that contract agreement. If there’s no issue, I won’t object.”
Still, there was no response.
Afraid that a father–daughter argument might break out, Laura quickly interjected, “Lysa, it seems there’s also an electronic version of the loan agreement. They said it was sent to Mich’s email.”
Upon hearing this, Lysander immediately made a trip to her sister’s room.
She knocked on the door but received no response. So, she pushed it open.
Startled, Michelle sat in front of her computer and exclaimed, “Lysander, when did you get back?”
Laura was somewhat puzzled. “Didn’t you say you were going to sleep?”
Michelle awkwardly scratched her head. “…”
Lysander glanced at her computer screen. The document was entirely in Stounian.
Michelle said, “I’m helping my senior translate her thesis. I can earn a little for my efforts.
Laura said, “Then why did you hide it from me and your dad…”
The thesis was quite challenging, so I had to translate until late into the night. I was worried that you all might be concerned.”
At the very least, her younger sister was engaged in proper affairs, which brought Lysander a slight sense of relief.
“Mich, could you pull up Dad’s loan agreement from the email for me to take a look?”
“Ah, okay.”
Michelle obediently did as told.
The loan agreement was extensive, spanning over eighty pages in total.
Michelle gave up her seat. “Lysander, you sit down.
Michelle was quite innocent. “I honestly didn’t reach out to Zachary again. He came by himself, said the company had some cookies and he brought some for Mom and Dad”
Zachary was now a man who had been dismissed, how could he possibly have cookies from the office?
In his words, younger folks might not necessarily enjoy these offerings. It would be better to give them cash, allowing them to buy whatever they fancied.
Moreover, the most significant point was Josiah had given too much.

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....
