polier uniform? Faking a police uniform is against the law!”
“Exactly, and they might even use the police uniforms to engage in other criminal
“Take me there, quickly!“
The real cop, without any delay, followed her back to the vicinity of the pharmacy.
The two impostor cops had lost Lysander and were as frantic as cats on a hot tin roof. By the time they thought of running, it was already too late.
Lysander had already formed a hunch about their identities. After discussing the situation with the police who had arrested them, she left. She hailed a taxi to return to the Guerra family’s old house, and on the way, she hastily called Susan.
On one hand. Josiah was missing. On the other, there were people willing to impersonate policemen regardless of the consequences. These two incidents happening so closely together made it impossible not to connect them.
Susan practically picked up the phone immediately.
“Lysander, how are you? Are you safe now? Nilou and Rhizone have already briefed me on the situation. Your mother and Aurora are also here now. Everyone was really worried about you and Josiah, but neither of you could be reached.”
She spoke swiftly, her voice brimming with worry.
With an apologetic tone, Lysander said, “Madam Susan, I didn’t intentionally ignore your calls. The situation was critical earlier, and I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I purposely set my phone to silent mode. But it’s all right now. Those two fake policemen have been taken away.”
The sound of Susan sharply inhaling could be heard from the receiver.
Both Nilou and Rhizone were children of measured words. When recounting events, they didn’t exaggerate or embellish the facts. Hence, all she knew was that the police Lysander encountered were somewhat suspicious, but she had no idea of the true extent of the danger involved.
“Were those two cone really imnoctore? They had come nervel I veander von

should come home as soon as possible. We can figure this out together. It’s too dangerous to be alone at a time like this. Ah, why is it that we can’t reach Josiah just when we need him the most…
Susan was worried about Lysander’s safety and persistently urged her to return quickly.
Lysander inquired about Laura and the others‘ situation, learning that everyone was doing well. Assured there was nothing to worry about, she explained in a gentle voice, “Josiah… has some important matters to deal with. Once he’s finished, he’ll definitely get in touch with you.”
Susan was no longer young, and she also suffered from high blood pressure. If she were to find out that Josiah had disappeared along with Tiffany, it could seriously upset her.
Lysander had no other options, so she could only reassure her first by saying, “Impersonating a police officer is a serious matter. I’ll return once it’s resolved.”
“All right, just make sure you don’t stay up too late. You’re still young, and it wouldn’t be good to ruin your health.” Susan noticed it was nearing midnight and couldn’t help but add an extra word of caution.
Even during the times when Josiah was most engrossed in his.work, he would still make a phone call home whenever he had to pull an all–nighter.
It had been a long time since something like this had happened, where communication was cut off without a word.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Lysander maintained a cool and composed demeanor, which prevented Susan from noticing anything unusual. However, she knew she couldn’t return to the Guerra family’s old house for now. So, she told the driver, “Could you please change the destination? Take me to Guerra Group.”
The driver, with nothing else to do, teased, “Working late again, huh?”
Lysander absentmindedly responded with a hum.
She meticulously pondered over the places Josiah could have possibly visited with Tiffany. Since she couldn’t figure out what might have occurred after his departure, her only option was to first head over to Guerra Group to assess the situation.

As it was approaching midnight, it was likely that only the security and on–duty staff remained in the company.
Lysander’s speculation was quickly debunked.
After Josiah and Tiffany had departed, Olivia had been patiently waiting in the office for their return. However, instead of the anticipated arrivals, she found herself dealing with an unexpected influx of unwanted guests.
First, everyone in the business department was clamoring to meet with Josiah. Then a director with considerable tenure from the board of directors personally went to the finance department to audit the accounts. Finally, even the manager who had been in charge of liaising with the Lanister family’s business affairs was kicking up a fuss.
These individuals held different positions and belonged to various departments, the only commonality being their association with the Lanister family.
Olivia had been working with Carol for quite a while and was well accustomed to the true colors of these people. Without even batting an eye, she could guess what they were up to.
Rather than beating around the bush, she decided to have the secretarial department staff guard the door of Josiah’s office. Meanwhile,.she arranged for these individuals to wait in the conference room.
When Lysander appeared beneath the office building, she had already gleaned some clues from the brightly lit top floor. mediately, she masked her concern and deliberately said to the receptionist, “I’m here to pick up something I left during the day. Is Olivia from the secretarial department around?”
The receptionist caught on to what she meant and immediately passed on the message to Olivia discreetly.
Olivia personally went downstairs to fetch Lysander.
The two of them exchanged the information they currently held while in the elevator.
“If Mr. Guerra really encountered an unexpected situation, he would definitely find a way to transmit information outward. But now, even Tiffany, who left with him, has disappeared without a trace. I tried to contact Riveron Corporation, but after Dillon was taken away, everything there descended into chaos.”

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....
