The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 723

In the midst of the raging fire that nearly consumed them both, Josiah chattered incessantly to Lysander, revealing many things. Among them were the passcode to his safe and the documents he had entrusted to the legal department for safekeeping.

Beforehand, Lysander made a trip to the bank. After verifying the documents, she collected a stack of paperwork from the manager.

“Ms. Thorne, this is the share transfer document personally amended by Mr. Josiah Guerra. All you need to do is sign it, and the shares mentioned in the agreement will be all yours.”

It was as clear as day, written in black and white—Josiah had given her half of Guerra Group's shares.

Holding the document, Lysander was at a loss for a moment, unsure of how to react to this situation.

He truly had a lot of trust in her.

Even though they were once married, their joint assets only included the company's earnings over those three years, not the shares.

When did he make this decision?

Upon noticing that Lysander showed no intention of signing immediately, the manager assumed she was overly emotional. He expressed his understanding. “This is a significant matter. You can take your time to consider. If you need it to be notarized, I can assist—”

“No need.” Lysander gently pushed the documents back. “Could you please continue to keep these for a while longer?”

The situation hadn't yet spiraled to the point where the only solution was a change in Guerra Group's leadership. She decided to keep this document as her trump card, not revealing it unless absolutely necessary.

Aside from her and Josiah, no one else in Guerra Group knew about this matter. She needed to keep this secret safeguarded.

These things were not at all what she desired.

After leaving the bank, Lysander directly hailed a taxi to Guerra Group.

The employees in the lobby bustled about as usual. At first glance, it seemed no different from any other day. However, upon closer inspection, one could notice that everyone was stealing glances at their phones, even in the brief moments while printing documents.

A significant event had occurred within the company, a matter of such importance that it could not be missed. Yet, it wasn't something that could be discussed openly.

Lately, the reception desk had been seeing Lysander come and go. Before she could approach, they had already rushed to update her. “Mrs. Guerra, Ms. Collins has already had the top floor sealed off. Please follow me.”

The only way to reach his office area now was by taking the private elevator exclusively used by the CEO.

Josiah had never been one for special treatment at the company. Had this private elevator not been part of the building since its inception, he would have undoubtedly decommissioned it long ago. Little did he know, this particular elevator would one day play such a significant role.

Holding the elevator access card, Lysander didn't rush straight to the top floor. Instead, she took a detour to the legal department first, bringing along Peter.

Peter wasn't particularly striking, nor did he hold the highest position in the legal department. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Josiah's trusted confidant.

He noticed that some people were causing trouble when Josiah was not around. He didn't mind lending a hand, but Carol treated everyone equally, keeping those with uncertain intentions at bay.

With Lysander's endorsement and guidance now, he was finally able to reach the top floor.

The two of them went straight to Josiah's suite.

Carol had been waiting for Lysander for quite some time. When she saw that Lysander had brought an extra person with her, she didn't show any surprise. “Mr. Hudson, I didn't expect that we would need your help so soon,” she said.

It was clear that the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

Lysander had once witnessed Josiah's way of handling matters in Thorne Constructions and Energies, and for a time, she was quite puzzled. She couldn't understand how, during his temporary stewardship of Thorne Constructions and Energies, he managed to have the company's high-ranking executives look up to him.

Despite the fact that these individuals were his elders, they had also been closely associated with Howard in the past.

Three years ago... Was that when we had just gotten married?
