The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 579 Too Overindulgent

“I have no objections. I support Ms. Thorne’s decision.”

Rowan’s face turned green. “Herbert, what do you mean by that? Are you a fence–sitter, switching sides so quickly?”

“Mr. Cobb, Josiah called out.

Rowan turned around, speaking in a respectful tone. “Mr. Guerra, did you need me for something?”

“Not really. It’s your turn to speak next, isn’t it?”

“Correct.”

“Do you mind if I grab something to eat?”

“Huh?”

“I’ll take care of the leftovers from Lysander. You can proceed with your speech without interruption.”

Rowan was stunned.

With only one pair of cutlery available, Josiah quickly cleared away the remaining dishes using the ones Lysander had used just moments before.

“Mr. Cobb, why haven’t you start yet?” Josiah asked, “There are dozens of people here. If one person delays for ten minutes, then for dozens of people, it’s hours wasted. Everyone’s time is precious.”

Rowan was utterly bewildered.

He watched as Josiah ate the leftovers that Lysander had left behind.

“Mr. Guerra, you’re indeed quite considerate.” Rowan’s smile seemed forced. “She’s just a family friend, not a real sibling. You should still be mindful of hygiene.”

“What did you say?” Josiah asked.

“I said personal hygiene should be observed. We use serving spoons outside…”

“My hearing isn’t the best. What did you say?”

Rowan began shouting, “Mr. Guerra, I said these cutlery were used by Ms. Thorne…”

“Who used them?”

“Ms. Thorne!”

“Who?”

“Ms. Thorne”
