Chapter 507 Marriage Is Absolutely Worthless
Nieve stared at Josiah thoughtfully. “Ms. Thorne’s friend?”
“Correct
“What’s your relationship with her friend that brought you here to find me personally?”
In his arms, Aurora was still wide–eyed, filled with curiosity about the world around her. Josiah shifted his. position to hold her more comfortably. He also pulled her tiny dress downward to straighten it out.
“She has nothing to do with me.” Josiah gestured toward Lysander with his chin. “However, she has helped Lysander a lot.”
Nieva shook her head, chuckling lightly. “Oh, returning a favor.”
“Yes, you could say that.”
Nieva became serious. “How much is needed?”
In a few brief words, Josiah explained the situation about Daphne’s family. “The company’s bank loan has been fully repaid, but as you are well aware, it takes some capital to make a comeback.”
Nieva scanned Josiah from head to toe with a peculiar gaze and said, “That’s odd. You could have easily handled this situation yourself. It would have been much more convenient than seeking my help. Is there something else going on here that I should know about?”
Josiah cradled Aurora in his arms, leaning gently against the backrest as he spoke. “I’ve transferred some money, but I suspect she has her reservations. She probably won’t use it.”
After hearing everything, Nieva did not immediately express her stance. Instead, she fell into silence for a
moment.
As Josiah was helping Daphne, Lysander chimed in, “My friend’s family business has always been stable. However, an elder in the family got ill and had to stay abroad temporarily, leading to this urgent situation. I understand that investing certainly carries risks, and I can’t guarantee that it will definitely be profitable and won’t incur losses. But what I can promise is that my friend will certainly do their best.”
“Ms. Thorne, you’re quite interesting” Nieva chuckled lightly. “This is the first time I’ve heard such an honest explanation.”
Josiah smiled helplessly. “She used to study medicine. She’s used to speaking plainly and doesn’t understand the intricacies of the business world. Everything she says is sincere.”
“I like honest people,” Nieva said, smacking her lips. “I am tired of all the smooth–talking and slick words. it is refreshing to hear something straightforward. But Ms. Thorne, I must remind you, the more the money, the more of a battlefield it becomes. To stand firm in such a place, you can’t have too high a moral standard, or it will drive you crazy just watching.”
Josiah frowned. “Don’t scare her. She’s just starting out Let her adapt gradually.”
“Mr. Guerra, I was having a conversation with Ms. Thome. Why are you interrupting?”
Nieva was joking. Naturally, Josiah didn’t take offense. He made a gesture and said, “Apologies, ladies.

Chapter 507 Marriage is Absolutely Worthless
Judging from Nieva’s demeanor, she didn’t seem to be particularly averse.
Lysander quickly added, “I am just getting started in this field and don’t understand many things. I am sorry if I made a fool of myself.”
“Not at all. I actually appreciate direct communication. Honestly, with Mr. Guerra’s backing. I have no concerns. Given the relationship between our families, even if your friend loses money, Mr. Guerra would cover it. I am just curious–since your friend is important to you and Mr. Guerra values you, why wouldn’t she use his money?”
Josiah sighed, looking a bit resigned. “it is a long story.”
Nieva seemed even more curions. “Is she at odds with you?”
Josiah recalled Daphne’s hostile attitude when he called her and answered honestly, “If she knew the investment was from me, she would probably be happier losing it all”
Nieva laughed again, enjoying his discomfort, but then grew serious. “I should give you this favor, but since most of the Lionhart family’s finances are under my husband’s control now, and given my current situation… You understand.”
Nieva rolled her eyes. “He got what he wanted, and I got what I wanted. We’ve both achieved our goals. Marriage is absolutely worthless.”
“No, you have good judgment. Elio is capable and ambitious. He will elevate the Lionhart family further.”
“Yes, but such a man is not suited to be a husband.” Sadness flashed across Nieva’s eyes. “At least, not my husband. To other women, he’s a perfect man.”
Josiah said, “But you are still a Lionhart. No matter how capable Elio is, he can’t replace the family name The company remains under your family.”

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....
