His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 512 Our Care

Daphne grew increasingly annoyed as she dwelled on the matter, shooting daggers at Josiah.

Josiah heard everything, yet showed no intention of retorting. In fact, he didn’t even seem fazed, simply gazing in Lysander’s direction.

Lysander secretly tugged at Daphne’s arm. “It’s not what you think. I’ll explain it all to you in a bit.”

“Is there more to the story?”

“Yeah, it’s somewhat complicated”

“I didn’t touch a single penny of that fifty million, ready to return it to him at any moment. I would never give him the opportunity to blackmail you into doing something you’re unwilling to do.”

“It’s not about the money.” Lysander glanced at Josiah, her tone softening. “Daphne doesn’t know about Ms. Lionhart’s situation. I’ll talk to her later.”

He nodded. “She’s standing up for you. I understand.”

Lysander chuckled drily and nodded as Daphne pulled her aside, whispering in her car, “What’s going on between you and Josiah? Did he do anything to you when you went to Apex City?”

Lysander averted her gaze sheepishly. “No.”

“Figures. I heard his fiancée went with him. He wouldn’t dare do anything to you in her presence.”

Lysander hummed in response, frowning. “Things are already pretty chaotic. Why’d you bring Dr. Sutton here, too?”

Daphne was quite troubled. “I know what you think, but Adrian and I are friends. It’s fine if you don’t accept him, but I can’t just sever ties with him over this, can I?”

Lysander thought Daphne’s words made sense. Adrian did help Daphne today, and I have no evidence to prove that he came here for me, nor do I have the right to stop Daphne from interacting with Adrian.

Lysander on the arm reassuringly, “Don’t worry, Adrian’s not the relentless type. You’re still single, so of course he’s hopeful. I’m sure he’ll give up once you find a boyfriend.”

Lysander reluctantly nodded.
