The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 494 Tutoring With A Professional

Zachary confidently stated on the other end of the line. “She’s not the one I’m looking for. Mr. Guerra, from the start. it is you that I want to talk to. I just don’t have your phone number and have no idea who to ask, so I have no choice but to call Lysander.

Then he enthusiastically added, “See, I knew I was right. Lysander must have already gone to sleep at this hour. When I called her, you answered, didn’t you? Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on finally getting what you wanted”

Josiah made no attempt to hide his annoyance and disdain toward Zachary. “You’ve gotten what you wanted. Why are you still bothering me?”

Zachary responded with a playful grin, “Of course I still need your help, Mr. Guerra. The budget has been exceeded slightly, and the project funding is a bit tight. After much thought, I realized I have to ask you to approve some additional funds.”

“You think you can just get it done as you please?”

Zachary’s objective was money. He couldn’t care less about Josiah’s contempt. Brushing him off nonchalantly. Zachary said. “Mr. Guerra, let’s not make the conversation unpleasant. We’re simply helping each other out. Since Lysander means so much to you, one can say that I’ve indirectly assisted you. Isn’t it only natural that I ask you for a small favor in return?”

“Hal” Josiah couldn’t help but scoff at his audacity. His voice laced with a dangerous edge as he replied, “No problem. You need funding, right? I’ll approve it for you tomorrow.”

Zachary instantly lit up with joy. “Mr. Guerra, you’re so generous!”

“If you live to see tomorrow’s sun,” Josiah added.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zachary felt the temperature around him drop significantly. He swiftly stood up and cautiously inspected the doors and windows before finally asking apprehensively, “What do you mean?”

Josiah calmly said, “I just think it’s easier to solve things once and for all. Mr. Powell, how about I just go the extra mile and send you to your good friend Harry to keep him company?”

“You…” Zachary initially thought he had Lysander under his control and could constantly reap benefits from Josiah. However, he was intimidated just after he had confirmed her importance. Zachary felt Extremely unwilling.

Although Zachary’s forehead was slick with cold sweat, he retorted, “Mr. Guerra, we’re living in a society governed by law now, so stop trying to intimidate me. Besides, if something happens to me, Lysander will definitely suspect you, won’t she?”

In a tone devoid of any emotion, Josiah stated, “I think you’re overestimating yourself. Just like how Harry vanished, you can disappear in the same way. It won’t take much effort as it’s a path well–trodden.”

After delivering his final ultimatum, Josiah paid no heed to Zachary’s rebuttals. Without any hesitation, he hung up the phone and deleted the call history before returning to the ward with Lysander’s phone in hand.
