The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 553 Dealing With Lysanne

Lysanne didn’t even dare to glance down at the cement ground below the building, let alone consider jumping. She immediately shot an angry look at the crowd of onlookers.

Carol, accompanied by a few bodyguards dressed in black, walked over with a steady stride.

Lysanne recognized her, her expression immediately shifting into an awkward one. “W–What did you just say? How could you incite someone to their death like that?”

This statement successfully sparked a discussion among the others.

A mysterious glint flashed in Carol’s eyes.

“Ms. Thorne, you’re not even a biological daughter of the Thorne family. They’ve taken care of you for twenty years, provided for your every need, and even sent you abroad for your studies. They’ve given you everything you’ve asked for. Isn’t that enough to show their kindness? Not only did you almost kill their biological daughter, but you also demanded half of their fortune. They’ve shown enough mercy by not sending you to prison, and yet you’re planning to harm your foster mother?”

Gossip was a part of human nature. As soon as these words fell, the gaze of the onlookers toward Lysanne changed. They were surprised that she had made so much noise, yet she conveniently left out her own misdeeds.

Lysanne’s face flushed and paled intermittently, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Yet, thinking of the thing Lysander was about to receive, she swallowed her pride and continued to make a scene.

The ward had not been quiet for long before it once again erupted into chaos.

Carol let her cry and make a fuss, only saying to Howard and Molly, whose faces were ashen with anger, “Mr. Howard, Mdm. Molly, Mr. Guerra has asked me to handle Ms. Thorne.”

Howard gave a nod. “It’s fortunate that Josiah sent you here. Listen to Josiah’s advice and handle things the way he instructed you to.”

“All right, I understand. Mr. Howard, Mdm. Molly, do you have anything else to say to her?”

“There’s one last thing. Howard said, his heartache numbing him to the core. He spoke on behalf of Molly, who was on the verge of passing out from rage. Looking toward the window, he continued, “It’s because we’ve been too indulgent with you that you’ve become like this. From now on, we will have nothing more to do with you.”

Lysanne hadn’t expected him to say such a thing, finally showing her vulnerability. “Dad, Mom, you’re being too harsh. Are you really going to stand by and watch me suffer?”
