His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 426 Let Us Talk About Us

Ever since their engagement, Susan had been distant toward Lysanne, her demeanor cold. It was only due to Howard’s presence today that she held back her words, careful not to say anything too harsh.

Lysamie sought help from her father. “Dad, I don’t want to leave…

But this time, Howard was resolute. “You were abroad for many years, so your connections and friends are all there. I need to take care of your mother and can’t look after you anymore. I think it’s better for you to stay overseas.”

Lysanne immediately grew infuriated, pointing at Lysander. “You’re doing all this for her, aren’t you? You’re afraid she’ll be unhappy and refuse to acknowledge you guys, so you don’t want me to annoy her by being around. That’s why you’re chasing me far away–Ahh!”

Suddenly, a sharp, intense pain radiated from her wound.

Tears streaming down her face, Lysanne cried out, “What are you doing? It hurts so much!”

With an emotionless expression, Lysander was pouring disinfectant onto her wound. “It’s for disinfection. Bear with it for a moment.”

“How much longer?”

“I’ll stop when you stop talking

Lysanne pursed her lips but then said defiantly, “Neither of us ended up with Josiah in the end, so I don’t consider it a loss to you.”

“Excuse me! You were dumped, while Lysander chose to leave. There’s a fundamental difference, okay?” Daphne said mockingly, her arms crossed.

“Really? Then can she also willingly give up on the Thorne family’s wealth?”

Howard angrily rebuked, “Lyss!”

“Dad, if she’s truly virtuous, she shouldn’t be playing both sides! On one hand, she doesn’t want to acknowledge you, yet on the other, she wants the Thorne family’s wealth. She claims she won’t reconcile with Josiah, but she’s still entangled with him. Why does she get all the benefits and bask in all the glory? You want me to go abroad so I won’t cause trouble for your biological daughter, fine. But remember, I was legally adopted and brought home by you. According to the law, an adopted daughter has the same inheritance rights as a biological one! I’m entitled to half of the Thorne family’s wealth and the company’s

shares!”

Howard felt a deep sense of disappointment well within him. “We raised you and spoiled you like at princess. You can have a share of our wealth, but only after we’re gone. Are you implying that your mother and I should just die now?”

“There’s no need to split it now. You could draft a will first, agreeing to divide the Thorne family’s assets equally between Dr. Thorne and myself. Once both of you pass on in the distant future, Dr. Thorne and I

can handle the rest ourselves.”

“How do you plan to handle it?”
