The Charming Ex-Wife
Chapter 700
Chapter 699 Turning Oneself In
Tiffany subconsciously clutched at her sleeve. Her nails dug into her palm, but she was oblivious to the pain. Her large, clear eyes flickered with hesitation as she asked. “Can I refrain from speaking? Would that be inappropriate?”
After listening for a while, Nilou was not entirely clear on ne specifics. Yet, when she spoke, her voice was crisp and full of conviction. “Excuse me, Miss, weren’t you the one who brought up this matter first?”
She was a genuine child, any words she spoke could be chalked up to the innocence of youth.
In a corner unnoticed by others. Tiffany cast a disgusted glance at the whitewashed shoes of Nilou. But when she truly looked at her, she didn’t forget to put on a smile that suggested she was fond of children. “What’s your name, little one? You’re quite adorable.
As she spoke, she reached out, intending to touch Nilou’s cheeks. However, her attempt was mercilessly avoided..
Nilou immediately moved behind Lysander, saying, “Don’t touch me.”
Observing the disheveled appearance of the child and the way she had disregarded Tiffany, he immediately chided, “Where did this child come from? She has no manners at all. Was she brought from the countryside?”
His disdain for the two children was clearly evident.
Lysanne, fearing that Nilou and Rhizone would be upset, promptly took their small hands into hers and defended them with neither servility nor arrogance. “Mr. Lanister, these two children are under my care. It’s not your place to discipline them
Dillon couldn’t keep a straight face anymore
He had always considered himself the equivalent of a respected father–in–law in the outside world, often basking in the flattery of others. But now, after being humiliated by Lysanne, he couldn’t hold in his temper anymore.
Jostali gave him a look and questioned. “Mr. Lanister, are you really telling me you don’t know them!”
When Hill Besponded to festas question, his expression changed stantly. He wore a play ang mite, saying, Mr. Cuere, how could I possibly know two kids from the untry side?”
Based on his understanding of Josiah, he was certain that these two children must have been brought by Iysanne on her own initiative Josiah was a person who was entirely focused on business profits, how could he possibly engage in such a laborious and thankless task?
The words that followed from Josiah, however, completely took him by surprise
“They live by the pond, locals who are born and raised in the village The fact that you don’t even know shows that the preliminary preparations for this project isn’t thorough enough. In my opinion, it might be best to call it quits. Better to cut our losses now before the project has even started.
He spoke the words with an air of nonchalance, but his tone left no room for negotiation. This was a clear demand for Dillon to abandon the villa project and to stop meddling in the affairs of the village.
If backing off could guarantee his safe retreat, Dillon would have endured the pain and accepted it. However, reality was likely not that simple.
Since Josiah had brought the two children from the village to his side, it was evident that he wanted to settle scores with him!
Recalling the fate of those who had offended Josiah, Dillon felt a chill run down his spine. Swallowing his pride, he pleaded. Mr. Guerra. I admit I’ve messed up this time But could you possibly spare me this once, considering the good relations our families shared in the past, and let me enjoy my twilight years in peace?”
