His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 542 The Deadly Duo

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?”
