The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 689 No Coincidence

This remark was not only aimed at those around him but was also intended for Josiah to hear.

Everyone around him was nodding in agreement, all bowing their heads in apology, but no one dared to approach Jesiah to speak. This sight made Dillon’s blood boil with frustration, and he cursed, “Useless fools!”

Seeing no one around him that he could rely on, he had no choice but to muster up the courage and initiate a conversation. “Mr. Guerra, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Josiah sat steady and composed, not even bothering to lift his eyelids as he said coolly, “Mr. Lanister, would know best whether this is mere coincidence or something you’ve done intentionally.”

He didn’t ask any questions. He was simply recounting the facts calmly.

The temperature around instantly dropped to freezing.

Dillon was well aware of the situation, but precisely because of that, he couldn’t admit it. His hands, hanging by his side, clenched nervously. With an almost ingratiating smile on his face, he said, “Mr. Guerra, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s truly a misunderstanding.”

Josiah slightly lifted his eyelashes, and with a thoughtful expression on his face, he said. “Misunderstanding? Since you put it that way, I’ll give you a chance to explain. I’m quite curious. What kind of misunderstanding could lead you to take human life lightly in the village? If I didn’t know how to swim, I’d probably be the second unidentified body in the lake by now.”

The roots and stems of the lotus, entwined and interlaced beneath the lake, had grown from the thick mud. There couldn’t have been a more ideal environment for hiding a body. By the time they found the previous victim, only a skeleton was left.

Dillon started rubbing his hands together, playing dumb. “Mr. Guerra, what do you mean by taking human life lightly? You know me. All I want is to conduct my business honestly and make money. I wouldn’t dare to get involved in any illegal activities, let alone murder.”

Tiffany, who had been hiding behind him for quite some time, cautiously stepped forward, wringing her hands as she carefully said, “Jose, Lysa, you’ve really misunderstood my father. He only found out about the incident when the police called him, and he has already personally cooperated with their investigation.”

Lysander looked up, saying candidly, “Ms. Lanister, do you remember what you said during that phone call? That night, we had quite a lengthy conversation.”

“Phone call?” Tiffany initially appeared deep in thought before finally showing an expression of sudden. realization. “Lysa, you’re talking about what happened the night before last, right? It was really late, and I was super tired. I only caught a few things you said about Jose, and then I was too sleepy and fell asleep. When I woke up, I wanted to call you back and ask, but you didn’t answer my call”

She was certain that Lysander had not recorded their conversation, which gave her the audacity to lie through her teeth and blabber nonsense. She was confident that Lysander wouldn’t be able to produce any evidence to refute her, so much so that she almost permanently wore an innocent expression on her face.

However, Lysander simply met her feigned innocence with a smile, as if she didn’t take it to heart at all.
