Chapter 491 Better To Offend A Gentleman Than Someone Despicable

Michelle runs into trouble immediately after returning to the country? What are the odds?

With her other hand, Lysander clenched the blanket draped over her, subconsciously thinking of someone she now found utterly repulsive. “It must’ve been Zachary,

Josiah’s expression was far from pleasant. “When you came looking for me before, wasn’t it because he threatened you with your sister?”

Lysander was particularly concerned about this matter and didn’t want any misunderstandings. She expressed her worry by saying, “Zachary is the type of person who only cares about the end result, so he will completely disregard any boundaries. I only have one sister, so I really can’t afford to take any risks. Can you hand me your phone-”

Josiah’s expression turned slightly serious. “And what will you do next? Call Zachary to confront him, or provide clues to the police? If Zachary dared to do it, he must’ve had everything planned out. Even if the person responsible was caught, they surely wouldn’t be able to trace it back to him.”

Exasperated, Lysander pounded on the bed. “Isn’t there anything we can do about him?”

“It’s better to offend a gentleman than to provoke someone despicable.”

Recalling the phone call she had heard him make while she was in a daze last night, Lysander looked up at him and asked, “So, you told him to go back to work?”

“Zachary is a sharp individual who always knows just how far he can push the boundaries. He can threaten you without causing any serious repercussions. Even if this car accident was traced back to him, he would receive a verbal reprimand from the police at most. He will then pay some medical expenses and be able to avoid jail time. However, as long as he is around, your family will never have peace, and you would all have to constantly be on your guard. To be completely free from him, three options exist. Either he dies, spends a lifetime in jail, or you simply cater to his demands.”
