Chapter 459 Dishonorable Since Day One
It wasn’t eight in a thousand. It was eight percent.
Because of the full–width input period added at the end, it looked like an extra zero was included, making it barely distinguishable from a comma separator. It was hard to tell the difference without careful scrutiny, especially since Maverick had over two hundred degrees of presbyopia.
I knew it. How could Zachary possibly be that kind–hearted?
He had essentially dug a pit for her family.
Lysander’s heart had sunk to the lowest point.
Based on this interest rate, the annual interest alone would amount to one hundred and sixty thousand.
However, as she continued to look further, she felt as if all the blood in her body was rushing to her head.
The interest rate stated in the document was not written as “per annum“, but rather, it was indicated as “per month.”
Every month, a whopping interest of a hundred sixty thousand had to be repaid.
How could her family afford it?
If they couldn’t pay back the money, the interest would be compounded with the principal. In no time, the amount would skyrocket to astronomical figures.
Lysander felt a chill run through her entire body as she read.
Luckily, she had returned home that day and had chanced upon that contract.
If her parents continued to hide this form her, it would eventually become a bottomless pit. In the end, Lysander’s parents might be left with no other choice but to jump off a building.
Zachary Powell…
Lysander was so infuriated that she felt like skinning him alive..
“Lysander…” Michelle was worried sick. “Are you all right?”
Lysander composed herself and said, “I’m going to the balcony to make a phone call.”
“Is it to Zachary? It’s quite late. He’s probably asleep by now.”
“He had to get up, even if he was asleep!”
Lysander went to the balcony, found Zachary’s number, and dialed it.
The response on the other end came swiftly, foregoing any formalities. The first words out of his mouth were, “Still not back together with Josiah?”
Lysander struggled to keep her voice down, fearing that any loud noise might worry her family. She managed to choke out, “Are you trying to drive us all to our graves?”

Chapter 459 Dishonorable Since Day One
“Lysander, I gave you a deadline, and you’ve exceeded it
“Can you leave my family out of our disputes?”
“I was just trying to help you out here. Remember when you wanted to negotiate terms with Josiah but couldn’t find a plausible excuse? He wouldn’t see you and you were left helpless. But look at this, the interest rate is so high, so you can’t possibly repay it on your own. This could be a perfect opportunity for you to ask Josiah for a loan. Isn’t that a valid reason to meet him? Then, you can take things from there, rekindle your old flame, and everything else should naturally fall into place, right?”
“You’re despicable.”
“You’ve known about my unscrupulous nature for quite some time now. If you ever decide to remarry Josiah, don’t forget to send me a thank–you gift, hahaha.”
“Do you really think I would beg Josiah for help?”
“Whether you choose to plead or not is up to you. I’m just waiting for the outcome.”
Lysander found herself at a loss for words.
“Go ahead, Lysander. With an interest of a hundred sixty thousand a month, that’s… about five thousand a day. I bet your dad’s pension isn’t even that high, right?”
“Zachary!”
“Hahahaha!”
Zachary’s arrogant laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Livid, Lysander hung up the call.
The Everhart family was also short on funds at the moment. She had just recently received over ten million from Howard. Asking for more now would not only be inappropriate, but it might even cause liquidity issues for Thorne Constructions and Energies.
Zachary had planned it perfectly, leaving her with no choice but to seek out Josiah.
Her fingers hovered over the name “Josiah” in her contact list for quite some time. After taking a deep breath, she finally dialed Josiah’s phone number.
Beep-
The call went through.
Beep beep-
However, he didn’t pick up.
After the call was automatically ended, Lysander let out a long sigh of relief before dialing again.
Still, no one answered.
She sent a message to Josiah on WhatsApp: Apologies for the intrusion, but there’s something I need to ask of you.” Could you please give me a call when you see this?
2/4
But after sending the message on WhatsApp for nearly half an hour, there was still no response.
After waiting for what seemed like forever, Lysander finally gave up completely.
“Okay,” Lysander said, “Give me an address, and I’ll have an errand runner deliver it to you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Adrian’s voice took on a serious tone. “Did something really happen?”

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....
