The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 711 A Car Accident

Tiffany clutched at her chest, taking a half–step back as though frightened. Yet, a fake smile remained on her face. “Nothing’s wrong. Jose, it’s just the two of us now. Can we not mention others, please?”

She simply could not take in what others had to say, appearing entirely engrossed in her own world.

“It was supposed to be just the two of us when we went to Apex City the last time, but Lysa insisted on tagging along. I know you went to see her that night, and I know you spent the night together. I didn’t sleep a wink. My mind was filled with thoughts of spending an entire night with you when the opportunity arises…”

Just like that, the night passed in a stalemate.

Lysander had hardly rested her head on the table and dozed off for a few hours. when she woke up, visibly distressed. She looked around the old house’s deserted living room, uneasiness gripping her heart.

When she arrived in the early hours of the morning with Josiah’s things, Susan had still been awake. If he’s still missing today, it’ll probably be impossible to conceal that he might’ve encountered some dangerous situation any longer.

Nilou had just finished freshening up when she noticed that Lysander was awake. She walked over and tugged at the hem of the latter’s shirt, asking, “Dr. Thorne, are you worried about Josiah?”

“I…” Instinctively, Lysander wanted to deny it and make up a more suitable excuse. However, none came to mind. In the end, she diverted the conversation and asked, “Why are you up so early? Why don’t you go and sleep a little longer? Everyone is exhausted after last night.”

“I’m worried you might need help with something. Rhizone mentioned that he thinks the fake cop from last night closely resembles the person who had followed you and Aurora,” Nilou answered, displaying her keen observation.

In truth, Lysander shared the same sentiment. It was just that she lacked evidence to support her suspicions. The thought that the seal had been stored safely in the study gave her a slight sense of reassurance about the situation, but whenever she recalled the unusual behavior of those in the conference room, a chill would run up her spine.

Eleanor had prepared quite a lavish spread for breakfast, yet of all those seated at the table, only Aurora appeared to have an appetite.
