The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 438 The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend

Lysanne was relentless. “Even if Josiah didn’t say anything, you still need to secure your position. As long- as I don’t agree, don’t even dream about resting easy!”

Lysander asked coldly, “Is that so?”

Lysanne began to lay out her terms. “I’m not asking for much. We’re both daughters of the Thorne family. so let’s split it evenly. I want half of the shares in the Thorne family’s company, and you need to return the public funds you’ve moved. The three million our father gave you can be overlooked, but at least half of the remaining twelve million, which is on the company’s books, needs to be returned, right?”

Unable to hold back her amusement, Lysander asked, “Are these your thoughts, or are they Josiah’s?”

Lysanne slightly lifted her chin, a smug smile playing on her meticulously made–up face. She looked down on Lysander with disdain and said, “Initially, it was my idea, but when I mentioned it to Josiah, he didn’t object. So, it’s also his idea, I suppose. All we’re asking is for you to cough up six million, which isn’t a lot.”

The more one lacked something, the more one tended to emphasize it. Lysander recalled Josiah, who was said to be away on a business trip by Carol. With a cold gaze, she responded decisively, “Let me make it crystal clear to you. It’s impossible. If you can’t accept it, feel free to sue me in court.”

The funds had already been paid to the bank through Daphne’s account, so Lysander truly couldn’t come up with any money.

Lysanne, however, was not overly concerned about money. She shifted the focus, stating. “There’s no rush for the money, but what about the shares? The contract stipulates that you must give me half of the shares. That’s what I’m entitled to.”

Lysander’s expression grew colder, her bare face masked with a chill. “I’ve said it before. If you truly believe you’re in the right, then take me to court and sue me through the proper channels. Whatever the judgement is after the trial, so be it.”

Upon seeing her unresponsiveness and her complexion drastically changing, Lysanne squeezed out a sentence. “Do you think I don’t dare?”

“Of course not, Lysander assured her calmly, “I just believe in the fairness of the judiciary and I also respect the solemnity of the law.”

The law would never condone such unreasonable behavior.

After Lysander finished speaking, she bypassed Lysanne and left the restroom. She had just entered the corridor when she heard hurried footsteps behind her. It was Lysanne, persistently following her in her high heels.

Lysanne was nearly out of breath. Stop right there!”

Lysander ignored her, nonchalantly continuing her journey back.
