The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 516 Tiffany And Her Ploy

Lysander felt conflicted at the mention of that. “My parents are getting on in years, and there’s been one thing after another recently. The house–buying process alone was fraught with complications. Michelle’s injury hasn’t fully healed either, which probably gave them quite a scare. I’ll wait a little while longer, let them settle down a bit, and then I’ll find an opportunity to talk to them.”

Daphne agreed with her. “Yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Thorne raised you as if you were their own. I bet they’d be disappointed that you found your biological parents. But I think they’ll probably come to terms with it when they see how well your real parents are treating you.”

They chatted for a while longer before spotting a familiar figure.

Tiffany, dressed in casual attire, warmly greeted them, “Ms. Thorne!”

Daphne narrowed her eyes while scrutinizing the girl before turning to Lysander. “Isn’t that Josiah’s fiancée? Is she here looking for him? Wait a minute. Why is she here too?”

Lysander noticed the person behind Tiffany and shook her head. “I don’t know.”

As they spoke, Tiffany had already trotted over cheerfully.

Lysanne trailed behind her. “Tiffany, slow down. You’re popular now, so you need to be mindful of your image in public.”

“Oh, okay.” Tiffany listened to Lysanne and stopped skipping about, walking gracefully and greeting the duo elegantly, “Hello, Ms. Thorne, Daphne.”

Daphne’s expression soured the moment she saw Lysanne. “Ms. Lanister, I’m glad to see you making friends, but the consequences can be severe if you don’t choose your friends carefully.”

“I’ve known Lyss since we were kids. She’s really nice,” said Tiffany before asking Lysander, “Is Jose still here, Ms. Thorne?”

Lysander asked, “Didn’t you call him before you came?”

Tiffany stuck out her tongue. “I wasn’t planning on coming, but Lyss told me Jose’s here all alone, and if I don’t show up, people might suspect something’s wrong with the relationship between Guerra Group and Riveron Corporation. So, I decided to swing by.”

Daphne chuckled. “You can just come here alone. Why did she tag along?”

Lysanne was no longer as prideful as she used to be, but she wasn’t exactly polite when speaking to Daphne. “Tiffany is young and clueless. It’s only natural that I help her.”

“Are you helping her, or are you helping yourself?”

“I’m afraid I don’t understand what you’re saying, Ms. Everhart.”
