The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 577 From Spouses To Siblings.

Lysander’s expression shifted slightly, but with so many people around, she didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything.

She then asked in a purely professional manner, “Are you so concerned that you decided to sit in on the meeting as well, Mr. Guerra?“

As if he had found his savior, Rowan quickly said, “We feel at ease now that you’re finally here, Mr. Guerra!”

Herbert had been sitting in an awkward position just moments ago, but now he seemed somewhat eager and excited. “Indeed! Now that you’re here, we finally have someone who can make decisions.”

Josiah’s gaze had been constantly resting on Lysander.

Perhaps in order to suit the formal occasion that day, Lysander had changed into a cinched waist blazer paired with a skirt. She was wearing a pair of pure black heels, and her hair was neatly pinned up at the back of her head, with only a few loose strands left hanging on her forehead.

Having worked as a doctor for a long time, she naturally exuded a sense of stern coldness. Today, dressed as she was, she even gave off the vibe of a successful businesswoman. If the neckline of her blouse wasn’t so low, the look would have been perfect.

Lysander noticed his gaze lingering on her neck, and quickly reached up to touch it.

The touch was smooth, devoid of any sensation of pain.

She furrowed her brows slightly and questioned him with her eyes, “What’s wrong?”

Josiah withdrew his gaze, giving a light laugh as he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Thorne Constructions and Energies now has a true leader. I will no longer be involved in the company’s affairs. My presence today is purely personal.”

Rowan immediately said, “You’re here on behalf of Mr. Thorne, aren’t you? Alas, it seems Mr. Thorne can’t stop worrying. After all, it’s the foundation he’s built over half his life. The Guerra family and the Thorne family have known each other for many years. Please, take good care of his company.”

“It’s not like that. Mr. Thorne always had complete trust in his daughter.”

Rowan was taken aback for a moment. He then quickly retorted, “Yes, we all know that Mr. Thorne adores his daughter, and Ms. Thorne is indeed the sole future heir to the company. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean she should be involved in the management. It’s not that I look down on women, but they’re not really cut out for this line of work. It would be better if she found a capable husband instead. Men should be the ones conducting business outside, while women should stay at home, doing laundry, cooking meals, and taking care of the children.”
