Chapter 470 A Resounding Rebuff
Lysander asked, “What’s so urgent?”
Following Josiah’s instructions, Carol explained, “It’s the invitation to next week’s summit. The invitation for Thorne Constructions and Energies has always been sent to Mr. Guerra. This year is the same, so I sent it to you to avoid any delays.”
“Okay, thank you,” Lysander said. “Where did you send it?”
“To the address where you’re currently living”
Lysander hesitated. “But I’m not at home right now, and I won’t be returning soon.”
Garol quickly asked, “Where are you now?”
“Central Hospital.”
Carol breathed a sigh of relief. “No problem, there’s still time to change it. I’ll take care of it now.”
About half an hour later, the summit invitation was delivered to Lysander. She opened it to find a single, elegantly folded card.
The design was indeed tasteful–pristine hard paper with gold–embossed calligraphy in both Ecronese and Stounian.
It was formal and of high quality.
Seeing she clearly wanted to go, Howard encouraged her, “Don’t worry about the hospital. I and the caregivers will take good care of your mom. You have nothing to worry about.”
“Sure.”
Howard reassured her, “Your mom and I both believe in you.”
Lysander called home.
Laura said that the house situation was settled, and Michelle was excitedly shopping for her upcoming overseas summer camp. Her father had gone out drinking with his old friends, and she herself was at Camila’s house.
Laura said, “Zach is busy with work, and I have some free time, so I came to accompany her. We’ve been friends for so many years, we should take care of each other.”
Laura didn’t have many friends, and Camila was her best friend.
Lysander didn’t want her mother to become a full–time housewife only revolving around her husband and children.
As one aged, finding close friends became increasingly difficult.
While Camila herself was fine, she had a son with a heart of stone,
Now, with Michelle going abroad and the house situation resolved, he probably wouldn’t cause trouble for

With everything ready, Lysander could start preparing for her business trip.
She bought the cheapest ticket in advance, then dug out her old suitcase from her time in Stounia and carefully packed what she would need in Apex City.
Daphne’s call came swiftly.
got my grandmal I really have to thank Madam Susan for this time. She’s so kind, gentle, and amiable. I don’t understand how she could have a son like Josiah…”
“How’s Grandma Elisa doing?”
“She’s doing well. She was just urging me to get married… I’m really overwhelmed. I want her to be healthy, but when she is, she nags me all the time.”
Lysander chuckled, “That’s how the older generation shows love. Besides, Grandma Elisa is getting older. Cherish the time she nags you, so you don’t regret it later.”
Daphne understood the implication in Lysander’s words.
“I know. I’m not opposing her now. I just say ‘yes, yes, yes‘ to everything she says to keep her happy.”
“You’ve matured.”
“We’ve all grown up,” Daphne reflected philosophically. “But growing up comes with a price…”
A gust of wind blew in, and Lysander coughed into the phone.
Daphne had the habit of calling Lysander periodically to update her. Hearing her nasal voice, Daphne asked with concern, “The temperature dropped drastically recently. Are you catching a cold?”
“Maybe a little.”
But it wasn’t due to the drop in temperature.
It was from that night when the thief caused trouble.
Daphne was worried. “Can you still travel?”

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....
