Lysander sat in the chair, gripping the armrests on either side of her. After she escaped the confines of the ropes, this was the only thing she could hold onto.
If the people outside were there for her, she would immediately find a way to make a commotion.
It was clear that the ten million was out of reach. Upon realizing this, the thugs were likely to revert back to Tiffany’s side, putting her in danger once again.
When he heard someone was approaching, the leader’s first instinct was to flee. However, the thought of the money he hadn’t yet secured kept him from panicking entirely. Composing himself, he turned to his subordinates and instructed, “Take this woman along!”
As soon as he said that, Lysander stood up, picked up the chair, and hurled it toward him.
The leader hadn’t expected that this cooperative hostage would suddenly fight back. He was caught off guard and knocked to the ground on the spot.
Lysander turned and ran, heading straight for the staircase furthest from the thugs.
After the thug responsible for keeping watch had left, there was no one left upstairs.
From her observations, she noticed that there was another staircase on the second floor leading outside.
The thugs were completely taken aback by this sudden turn of events. Some of them scrambled to help their leader, while others, a bit more astute, knew that if Lysander managed to escape, none of them would get away. They quickly chased after her.
In the midst of the chaos, the warehouse door was abruptly kicked open from the outside.
Upon discovering that the lock hanging on the door was not tightly fastened, merely loosely latched, Josiah knew he was on the right track. When he heard the chaotic noise emanating from within, he couldn’t even be bothered to wait for the time it would take to pick the lock and open the door. He simply barged in with brute force.
In an instant, the sunlight from outside illuminated the dimly lit warehouse.
Having already escaped to the second floor, Lysander merely lowered her head and unexpectedly came face to face with Josiah. The sudden encounter caused both their hearts to tighten, as they hadn’t anticipated meeting in such a tense moment.
When the leader had taken on this job from Tiffany, he had seen a picture of Josiah. Immediately, he cried out, “He’s Josiah Guerra. If he gets out alive, we’re all finished!”
The thugs thought about the money they had just received. They didn’t want to earn money only to die without spending it. So, for the moment, they didn’t care about the possible danger. They quickly shifted their focus and rushed toward Josiah, surrounding him.
From her vantage point, Lysander clearly saw his state at that moment.
Josiah was in a state of complete disarray. His coat was nowhere to be found, and his light–colored shirt was
erly unkempt. The collar of his shirt, liberated from the constraint of a tie, was flipped up on one side. Upon closer inspection, there were traces of blood on it. It was the blood fro

As for the wound that was wrapped in gauze, it had already split open during his relentless running, continuously seeping blood.
The urgent care provided by the family doctor had some effect on controlling the wound, but it couldn’t stop him from seeing finding Lysander as the most important thing at that moment. If it weren’t for the stitches done in advance, he might have worsened his injury by now.
Lysander’s eyes suddenly welled up with tears, expressing both worry and guilt as she asked, “Are you alone?”
“Yeah, I didn’t have time to wait for others, so I came here by myself first.”
Lysander anxiously said, “But there are so many of them. What can you possibly do by yourself?”
Are you marching to your doom all alone?
Josiah remained stoic. “I’m here to take you home.”
He scrutinized her meticulously, noting that aside from the dust she had rubbed onto herself, she was unharmed. Only then did he shift his icy gaze toward the approaching thugs.
Perhaps it was due to her underestimation of Lysander that Tiffany had only arranged for a group of average thugs to guard her. However, they did have the advantage in numbers. If he wanted to take Lysander away without a single hair on her head harmed, it would likely still require some effort.
“I’m offering you two choices. Take the money you already have and leave. I won’t hold past grudges. Alternatively, you can take a risk and try your luck. But remember, as long as I’m still here, you won’t stand a chance.”
As Josiah spoke, he casually lifted his gaze toward the group of thugs. Despite his severe injuries and his pale complexion, the aura of authority he carried was still intimidating.
Meanwhile, while their attention was all focused on Josiah, Lysander seized the opportunity to silently rush up to the second floor. She managed to escape outside, using the staircase built on the side of the outer wall.
Although Josiah didn’t say it outright, she understood everything when their eyes met.
He had arrived in haste, but she anticipated that others would be there soon as well. Instead of waiting helplessly inside, she decided it would be better to quickly venture out and seek assistance.
Lysander hadn’t rested for a full day and night, not even taking a moment to eat or drink. She was physically drained, running purely on fumes. It was her unwavering determination to save Josiah that kept her going, driving her
h the outside of the warehouse.
If she ventured a bit further, she might just encounter the person who came with Josiah.
Lysander gritted her teeth, persevering. Upon hearing footfall echoing from around the corner, she quickly called out for help, “I’m here! Hurry up and save Josiah… He’s in the warehouse ahead…”
Her voice was hoarse, her throat dry as if she had swallowed a burning coal, but she still managed to muster all her strength to raise her voice to its highest.
Upon hearing the sound, the person quickened their pace and walked over.

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....
