Chapter 552 The Final Gamble

Carol spoke rather sentimentally. “Actually, you found her a long time ago.”

“Indeed,” Josiah admitted with a hint of melancholy. “I was too obsessed. I had noticed early on that Lysanne’s temperament had changed since childhood, yet I never doubted it.”

Josiah asked, “Please answer a question from a woman’s perspective for me.”

Josiah was instantly infuriated. “Is she bothering Mr. Thorne and his family again?”
