His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 720 I Will Never Forgive You

He rambled on for quite a while, even bringing up the legal advisor. “You should meet with Mr. Peter Hudson along with Olivia. He will help you sort everything out…“.

Suppressing her anxiety, Lysander interrupted, “Don’t talk about this now. I don’t know what’s in your safe deposit box, and I don’t know Mr. Peter Hudson. The fire is so intense, so someone is bound to call the police. Once we are out, you can handle these matters yourself.”

Lysander gazed into the distance, feeling uncertain.

The commotion here should have attracted nearby people, but none of Josiah’s men had shown up. They were probably unable to at the moment.

The bodyguards Tiffany brought were not numerous but highly skilled, making them difficult to take down individually.

Josiah seemed to realize this too. He looked at Lysander as if trying to memorize her features and said hoarsely, “I have an idea. The fire started from below. We can go to the roof to buy time and wait for rescue.”

Lysander followed his gaze upward.

The overhanging caves were still some distance away.

Josiah grabbed her hand and crouched down. “We can’t waste any more time. You go up first.”

He let Lysander step onto his shoulders and then lifted her up.

Knowing she couldn’t lift Josiah, Lysander did not argue. Once she was up, she immediately clung to the edge of the caves and stretched out her hand to him. “Quick! Give me your hand, I will pull you up!”

Josiah did not reach out. Instead, he stood up and looked at her with a complex expression.

“Lysander Thorne,” he called her by her full name for the first time, his voice catching slightly. “Keep climbing. The higher you go, the safer you will be.”
