The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 No One Could Stop Him 

Lysander let out a deep sigh. “You may use the money first.” 

“So, you’re really going to have a child for him?” 

“He’s gone mad, not me,” Lysander said. “So Daphne, you need to pull yourself together, stand tall, make a lot of money. Then we can pay him back, with interest, in the future.” 

Upon hearing this, Daphne couldn’t help but laugh. “Forget it,” she said. “I’ve given it a try recently and I’ve realized that I’m simply not cut out for business. Even my dad has given up on me.” 

“So, are you really not going to continue with your family business?” 

“Of course, why wouldn’t I? It represents my parents‘ lifelong dedication after all,” Daphne said. “Lysander, I think my dad might be right. If I can’t do it myself, then I’ll find someone who can.” 

“I didn’t quite catch that. Are you planning to hire someone?” 

“What I’m saying is, I want to get married.” 

Astonished, Lysander asked, “Are you also planning to marry into a wealthy second–generation family?” 

“Ha, these second–generation folks in our circle, they’re either playboys like Aiden, or they’re just average, not even as good as me. Trustworthy? None of them are. Oh right, if there’s anyone reliable, it’s Adrian. But his heart isn’t in this, and he’s completely smitten with you.” 

When it came to Adrian, it was challenging for Lysander to describe the feelings in her heart at that time. 

Guilt, sadness, or perhaps, regret. 

Had she initially met Adrian first, and it was he she had married, perhaps they truly would have been a simple yet loving couple. 

It wasn’t exactly love, but at the very least, there was no betrayal. 

Love, it was the most luxurious indulgence in the world. 

“So, what’s your plan? Going on a blind date?” 

“No, I’m planning to find someone who may not come from a good background, but has decent capabilities and potential.” 

Alarm bells rang in Lysander’s heart immediately. “You’ve been at a disadvantage with Harry before, why would you seek out the same situation again? What if he turns out to be like Zachary, then what will you…” 

“Ah, the last time I fell for Harry, it was due to my youth and genuine feelings. But things are different now. I’ve already sealed my heart. As long as I don’t fall in, I won’t get hurt. Besides, I’ve gained experience. The company is still under my father’s control. I can offer him a high position, or a high dividend, but I won’t give him a single share. 

Lysander felt a pang of uneasiness in her heart. “But such a marriage… are you willing to accept it?” 

“My parents had protected me for over twenty years It’s time I make my own sacrifices. Honestly, I never

mistress who’s a university student, or even if he had a bunch of women on the side. When it comes down to it, ours is a partnership. He manages the company for me, and in return, I offer him a chance to change 

his fate.” 

Lysander didn’t know what to say to console her best friend. 

She wasn’t even sure if she should offer advice. 

After all, in the realm of marriage, she was also a failure. 

“Right. I didn’t come up with this arrangement myself. I know of a financial firm in Hofcaster that operates this way. The elderly couple has stepped back, and their daughter married a very capable man from a humble background. On the surface, they are a married couple, but privately, they lead separate lives. The man runs the company quite well, and even brought his university girlfriend into the company to be his secretary. They are inseparable. His wife only asked one question, ‘Can she help you work better for the company? The man said yes, and not only did his wife agree, she even gets along well with the female 

secretary.” 

After hearing everything. Lysander was astounded. “Is that even possible?” 

Daphne, however, said, “Haha, I actually find this arrangement quite appealing. As long as he c 

can effectively manage the company, I can even take his woman out for shopping and coffee!” 

“I still feel like something’s not quite right. Don’t rush, take some more time to think it over.” 

“Okay.” Daphne asked her, “What about you? The matter of wanting a child, Josiah is probably not joking about it. He’s serious. If he truly sets his mind to it, I’m afraid… no one can stop him.” 

Lysander tilted her head back to gaze at the valley outside, sighing. “He surely wouldn’t tie me up and confine me to the bed to have a child, would he?” 

After hanging up the phone, Lysander intended to open her suitcase to find some clothes to change into. However, upon approaching it, she noticed several additional paper bags next to the suitcase. 

Lysander was certain that this was something left behind by Josiah. Despite her confusion, she didn’t exercise much caution. She immediately reached out, opened it, and took a look. 

She found several sets of clothes neatly packed inside, ranging from outerwear and shoes to underwear, all complete. They were all from the brands she was accustomed to wearing on a regular basis. 

She reckoned these items were probably prepared by Carol. 

However, the brand and size of the lingerie must have been informed to her by Josiah 

Lysander slipped into a pale yellow dress and casually gathered her loose, long hair. With her phone and room key in hand, she then headed downstairs. 

She was in a state of emotional turmoil. If she continued to confine herself in her room, she feared she might fall ill from the suffocation. 

The vacation resort was a peaceful retreat, far removed from the city’s hustle and bustle. Despite its remote location, it lacked nothing in terms of amenities. A short walk through the grand lobby downstairs led straight to the back gardén.
