The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 415 Only You Know

Zachary responded, “I wasn’t sure before this, but now… Though I hadn’t been with the project for a long- time, the team was already formed and things were starting to take shape. Everything was on track, and we were about to release the first phase of the project. But at this crucial point, I was the only one who got laid off. I was clearly targeted.”

“So what? You want me to beg Josiah on your behalf, so he’ll allow you to go back?” asked Lysander.

Zachary said solemnly. “I need to go back. You can decide how you’re going to make that happen, either through coercion or temptation. All I care about is the outcome.”

Lysander was instantly infuriated. “Are you threatening me with my sister?”

“You can say that. After all… everyone thinks I’m a saint, but only you know I’m a scoundrel.”

Lysander sneered. “You really are quite self–aware.”

Zachary drawled, “I don’t care. Harry is ambitious but stupid. Even if he managed to get involved with that young lady from the Stone family, he’d eventually be kicked to the side. He was even foolish enough to lay a hand on you when Josiah was head over heels into you. He’s practically digging his own grave.

“Where is he? Don’t tell me you don’t know.”

Zachary glanced at her and said nonchalantly, “Who knows? He’s probably gone crazy. No idea where he

ran off to.”

“You really are heartless.”

“Not everyone can be Josiah, I have the ability and ambition to climb from the bottom. That requires ruthlessness. Zachary tapped on the table with his hand. “I had full control over that project, and it was of utmost importance to me. I’m giving you three days to help me return to the company and continue to lead this project.”

“It’s different this time. As you can see, Josiah doesn’t care about me anymore,” Lysander warned.

“Lysander, I trust you. You can do this. Like you said, your sister is currently an innocent young girl, unfamiliar with the ways of the world. Even if she doesn’t come to Skywatch, there are still countless traps waiting for her to fall into in this vast society.”

Lysander closed her eyes for a moment, thinking about it.

At this point, there’s no use berating him. Zachary is clearly a despicable scoundrel. But…

“Three days is too short. I’m not even sure if I can see him,” she revealed.

“That’s your problem. Like I said, the project can’t afford any delays. I don’t have time to dawdle with you.” Zachary spoke.
