His words came out jumbled and incoherent, sounding utterly deranged.

“You wouldn’t.” Lysander was certain. “Only Harry would do such a foolish thing as perish together. Not you. Even if you wanted to kill me, you’d find a way to protect yourself. Most likely, you’d find a scapegoat to take the blame while you sit back and watch from a safe distance. Is Lysanne your scapegoat?”

“Pfft!” Zachary nodded heavily. “I must admit that you do know me well. What a pity, though.”

“Why’s that?”

“It’s a pity that Josiah has the advantage of a stronger family background and a higher starting point than me. That’s all it is. A head start. If I had his family resources, I wouldn’t necessarily be any worse off. If we joined forces, we would be an unstoppable force. Is there anything in this world we couldn’t accomplish?”

Lysanne’s own idea? Was she the one who, after being berated by Josiah at the entrance of the resort that day, was so indignant that she deliberately stirred up trouble? However, Josiah has no shred of pity for her now. He made his stance clear last time. If she crossed his boundaries again, could she bear the consequences? However, on second thought, one could never predict Lysanne’s actions using conventional logic. Lysander
