The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 726

What Lysander feared the most had indeed come to pass.

Fifteen days after Josiah disappeared, it was coincidentally the day of the shareholders' meeting. The attendance was higher than any previous meeting.

Upon noticing that Josiah hadn't returned, the shareholders grew restless once again.

During this period, Lysander had never let up. She would reinvigorate herself and steel her mind to handle her work. Face with this situation, she actually felt relieved.

The inevitable is finally here. Things will get better once I survive this.

During the meeting, the heads of each department presented their reports as usual. The manager of the business department was the last one to stand up to speak.

“Mrs. Guerra, now that the collaboration with Riveron Corporation is terminated, do you have the authority to decide on the use of funds and the project?”

He didn't address Lysander by her temporary position in the company but rather by the status bestowed upon her by Josiah. Although the question sounded reasonable, his attitude was clearly disrespectful toward her.

Carol genuinely wanted to assist Lysander, but given her role as the meeting's moderator, it wasn't appropriate to do so, as she couldn't show any form of favoritism. At most, she could only give the latter a subtle look.

Lysander returned her gaze with a reassuring look. He was already accustomed to such predicaments and responded in a calm voice, “Do you have any insights on the matter, Mr. Shelton?”

“So it's not decided yet.” Josiah continued, “What do you plan to do with the large sum of money made available, Mrs. Guerra? Are you going to just let it sit there, or... do you have other plans?”

“Mr. Shelton, feel free to speak your mind.”

“I heard that you used to be part of the management at Thorne Constructions and Energies. You are the only daughter of the Thorne family. If you were to divert funds from Guerra Group to Thorne Constructions and Energies... Well, that would be... I'm just expressing my concerns, that's all.”

Lysander said, “Given that you're so well-informed about who I am, you must also know that I used to study medicine. As for laundering money, such a sophisticated maneuver is honestly beyond my capabilities.”

“Well, that's hard to say, Mrs. Guerra. Just because you can't, doesn't mean others can't. Moreover, Guerra Group isn't solely yours. Even if Mr. Guerra were to disappear... I mean, were to go on a business trip, such a significant issue would still require a meeting for discussion.”

When Jasper spoke, he made no mention of Josiah's firm demand to issue a statement.

In the past, Lysander had never been involved in Guerra Group, so she wasn't familiar with the company's dynamics. However, she knew Josiah well enough to not believe that he would suddenly become so amicable.

“If I remember correctly, someone always takes minutes at company meetings, right? Since you've brought up something that Mr. Guerra said, why don't we just pull out the minutes to check? This way, we can avoid misinterpreting his words.”

Jasper immediately backed down, changing his tune. “What we need to discuss now is choosing the new partner. Dredging up the past is pointless now.”

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the director who had suggested this course of action. Seeing this, the director quickly averted his gaze, acting as if he was afraid of being implicated.

This instigator is truly foolish, exposing me in front of so many people.
