Chapter 697 Just Think Of It As Keeping Me Company
Instantly, Lysander felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn’t help but think back fearfully to the last look Tiffany gave her before she left.
The letter abruptly ended at the part where the university student met with an accident. The sender emphasized at the end that these were all messages the student had managed to send him before falling unconscious. As for the cell phone, it was destroyed in the accident on the same day, so he couldn’t provide any evidence, but he swore to heaven about its truth.
Regarding the matter of the university student from the village, Carol had already arranged for someone to investigate upon Josiah’s instructions. They finally received some notable results.
“Mr. and Mrs. Guerra, he began, “I’ve gathered some information. He was discovered shortly after the incident. The thugs who attacked him have turned themselves in. However, they all claim that they were stopped by him from harassing a girl, which they couldn’t swallow, hence the retaliation. The girl’s privacy is well–protected, no one knows the true identity of the girl involved. The police handling the case did everything by the book. However, those thugs were flat broke, they couldn’t afford to pay any damages. So, their only option was to serve time. As for the victim, a college student… his life, along with his entire family’s, is completely ruined.”
Upon hearing the outcome, everyone in the room fell silent.
In the end, it was Josiah who first voiced his stance. “Arrange for him to receive treatment at the best hospital. The expenses, just like the aid provided to the village, will be taken care of from my personal account.
He had always been a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Before the official development of the project, all the money came from his personal account.
Josiah never looked down on anyone just like he did in the past. However, that was simply because, aside from those close to him, he was indifferent to everyone else,
It seemed that his hardships in the village were not in vain. He had witnessed the fickleness of human nature and gained a deep understanding of the helplessness and grievances of those at the bottom of the social ladder.

Josiah took a deep breath, suppressing the chill in his eyes I didn’t expect them to arrive so soon. It seems I’ve underestimated this Dillon
Lysander had a subtle premonition. She had always assumed that at most, Tiffany was just a particularly meticulous gul, but that was only toward Josiah
However, unexpectedly, she was also involved in Dillon’s scheme
How much did she really know about what Dillon had done in the past?
Holding the baby in his arms, Josiah wood up and said. “I need to meet with them. Do you want to come with me?
Niton and Rhizone harbored a particular distaste for Dillon and Tiffany. Yet, for the sake of preserving their village, they were willing to meet with the Holsting

her younger brother’s hand, Nilou declared with a maturity beyond her years, “If they lie. I’ll stand up for our village!”
“All right, but remember to look out for yourself,” he cautioned. “With me around, there’s no need for you to directly confront them.”
Nilou nodded, her understanding seemingly tinged with confusion.
With the baby in his arms, Josiah instinctively turned to Lysander. “Aren’t you coming?”
Lysander asked, “Do you think I should go?”
On a grander scale, it was a matter between Guerra Group and Riveron Corporation. On a more personal level, it was about Josiah and Tiffany. Her position was awkward. It wasn’t appropriate for her to get involved, yet it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay out of it either.
“Just accompany me, okay? You were with me when we met them last night. Now, there are two more. No, actually three. But it’s all right, the more the merrier. After all, there’s strength in numbers.”
Carol didn’t join in the fuss, instead she said, “Mr. Guerra, I’ll hang up now.
“All right, you’ve worked hard.”
Dillon was quite displeased with the conference room. He looked critically at the employee pouring him tea. “Does Mr. Guerra know you’ve arranged for us to meet here?”
The secretary simply offered a smile, staying silent. After serving the tea, she left
the room.
After she left, Tiffany quietly reminded Dillon, “Dad, this is Guerra Group. Be careful with your words. Everyone here could be Josiah’s ears. Haven’t you noticed their attitude toward us has completely changed?”
“Guerra Group has never been short of rooms. In the past, when you sought him out, you’d always be placed in the lounge of the office suite. But now? If I’m not mistaken, this is the most ordinary conference room, reserved for those they wish to dismiss quickly.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
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....
