His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 542 The Deadly Duo

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?”
