Chapter 490 A Profound Sense Of Unease

“Since you were ill when you boarded the plane, why didn’t you tell me before you left?”

A glint flashed in Lysander’s eyes as she retorted, “How did you end up in economy class?”

She was asking about the incident on the airplane..

“I went straight there. No one in economy class would refuse to switch seats with me.”

“What about Tiffany? Didn’t she question why?” Lysander inquired.

“No.” Josiah responded.

Lysander found it a bit peculiar. “Isn’t she curious about where you’re going?”

“I told her I had something to take care of and had to leave for a bit. She wouldn’t have pressed for details.”

Lysander felt that Tiffany was just too naive, almost excessively so.

Tiffany is already twenty–three years old! Even if she was well–protected, she couldn’t possibly be this naive, could she? I hope that there are no more people like Harry or Zachary in this world. Otherwise, given Tiffany’s current state, she would be a perfect target for men like them!

Lysander’s phone seemed to have a knack for timing, ringing at just the right moment.

However, her phone just happened to be on her left side, making it a bit inconvenient for her to reach it.

Upon seeing the situation, Josiah promptly picked it up.

“Who is it?” she asked, feeling a bit scared that it could be Adrian.

Things were already chaotic enough. If another person got involved, it would become a complete mess.

Josiah glanced at the caller ID, then promptly hit the answer button. He held the phone to his ear, his expression unchanging as he said, “Hello, Mr. Thorne.”
