The Charming Ex–Wife
Chapter 533 Lysander Is My Bottom Line
“A few months ago…” Lysander felt a bit guilty. “Dad, I didn’t deliberately keep it from you. I was just worried that you and Mom might overthink things. So, I wanted to wait for a more suitable opportunity to discuss this matter.”
“How did they manage to find you?”
“Because of the red string in my hand.”
Maverick nodded, his voice tinged with guilt. “Your mother and I didn’t tell you because we didn’t want you to overthink it. Over the years, we’ve come to consider you as our own daughter.”
“I know, Dad… I know.”
“I was aware, you know, that secrets can’t be kept forever and that you would eventually find out. But then I thought you were all grown up now, and your biological parents hadn’t shown up. I thought perhaps they already had other plans in mind. Thinking that was the case, we decided not to burden you with all this messed up information to avoid distracting you from your work.”
A feeling of heaviness instantly enveloped Lysander’s heart when she heard those words.
The secret she had been cautiously hiding was not only exposed, but it happened amidst such chaotic circumstances.
Lysander’s temples were throbbing incessantly, her stress levels nearly doubled, and she faintly felt a wave of nausea coming on.
Maverick’s expression changed instantly when he noticed her pale complexion. “Are you feeling unwell? Did that guy do something to you?” he asked concernedly.
Lysander quickly began to explain, “Dad, I’ve just been under a bit of work–related stress lately, that’s all. I’ve already seen a doctor who assured me it’s nothing serious. As for what Lysanne said-”
“Let’s not dwell on that for now,” Maverick interjected, waving his hand dismissively. “I’m just glad you’re okay. It seems like she wasn’t well–liked at your hospital. Quite a few people knew her and didn’t have a high opinion of her. Eventually, a crowd gathered, and she was escorted out.”
“I’m just afraid you and Mom would be taken advantage of.”
“By that mistress? She’s incapable of doing that!” Maverick noticed his daughter’s complexion had improved, and he breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s head home first. You need to rest properly.”
A wave of warmth surged in Lysander’s heart.
In this world, she still had a place she could return to.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere surrounding Josiah was completely different from that of Lysander.
Maverick was in a fit of rage, having already taken Lysander away. Despite his best efforts to shake Dillon and Tiffany off, he still couldn’t catch up to Lysander and Maverick.
Moreover, there was a child in the house, so he had no choice but to return.

Having worried enough about Josiah, Tiffany finally stopped asking about his wound. Instead, she said, “Jose, the baby is crying so hard that it’s pitiful. She must be missing her mother. How about letting me hold her?”
Without even batting an eye, Josiah casually remarked, “No need. You’re too young to take care of a child properly.”
Excited, Tiffany suggested, “But I can learn, can’t I? After all, girls are naturally more attentive. You, being a big man, can’t possibly take care of a baby properly. Come on, little one! Look here!”
The baby showed no interest in her feigned enthusiasm. Her lips puckered, and her crying intensified.
Josiah wore a displeased expression, his face darkening.

Tiffany withdrew her hand, which had been reaching out to hold the child, and said, “I’m sorry. I was just trying to distract the baby. Jose, does she not like me?”
Josiah didn’t bother with pleasantries. He simply sidestepped her, carrying the baby over to the window to gaze at the nearby canyon.

Dillon chimed in from the side, “Indeed, Mr. Guerra. I was actually hoping to ask Ms. Thorne about her collaboration with Everhart Corporation.”
Listening to those familiar words from Tiffany, Josiah immediately knew what was going on.
With a scoff, Josiah glanced at Tiffany. “Lysander has been good to you before, Tiffany. Regardless of what you’re up to, let me make this clear. Don’t lay a finger on her, or it won’t just be you, but the entire Riveron Corporation will cease to exist.”
Tiffany’s face turned pale, and she forced a laugh. “What are you talking about, Jose? I don’t understand

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....
