    Michelle stuck out her tongue, obediently nodding. “Lysander, do you think I’m too foolish?”


    Lysander thought that perhaps she had been too harsh with her words earlier. After all, her sister only


    had good intentions, wanting to help case the family’s burden.


    “Of course not. You’re still young, and there’s so much in the world you haven’t experienced yet. Your


    lack of experience makes it hard for you to foresee certain dangers. Mich, I know you mean well, but


    wealth isn’t important. Your personal safety is what truly matters. Can you imagine how heartbroken


    Mom, Dad, and I would be if anything were to happen to you?”


    Michelle hung her head low, fiddling with her fingers dejectedly. “Truth be told, I was a bit scared at first.


    I’ve never been to such a grand ce before. But Zachary said…


    Lysander’s heart skipped a beat. “Who said?”


    Michelle panicked. “Um, no… no one.”


    Lysander became serious, “Did youe to work here because of Zachary? Did he send you here?


    What did he tell you?”


    “I was just looking for a part–time job, you know. But I couldn’t find one that could help me make a lot


    quickly, so I asked Zachary for advice. He mentioned that a friend of his was working here as a junior


    supervisor and could arrange for me to work here. Zachary is so mature and reliable. He wouldn’t in


    harm’s way, would he?”


    Lysander was filled with anger.

    However, she reined in her emotions in front of her younger sister. They both returned home, and she


    helped her sister cover up the lie in front of their parents, Once all three of her family members had


    gone. to bed, she went downstairs alone and found a quiet spot to call Zachary.


    The call was answered quickly. “Lysander?”


    “Zachary, what on earth are you trying to do?”


    Zachary chuckled lightly. “I’ve been waiting for your call.”


    “You’ve already gotten what you wanted. Why are you still pestering Michelle?”


    Zachary had seemingly braced himself for her fury, his tone remaining nonchnt. “Shall we meet up


    and talk?”


    “Tell me the location.”


    “My home.”


    Lysander remained silent.


    “Don’t worry, my mom is at home, too. I won’t do anything to you. You’re safe,”


    “Zachary, I don’t believe you.”


    1/4.

    “What’s wrong


    with being guarded around someone like you?”


    “All right then, where do you suggest we meet?“.


    “At the burger joint by the residential area’s main entrance.”


    Zachary readily agreed, saying, “Sure.”


    After ending the call, Lysander headed to the burger joint first and ordered a burger.


    Roughly ten minutester, Zachary arrived.


    He was still dressed in a suit and shirt, appearing refined and well–mannered, much like a corporate


    elite.


    Pulling out a chair, he took a seat across from Lysander and ordered a burger, too.


    “Speak up,” Lysandermanded, her arms crossed as she looked him straight in the eye. “What are


    you nning this time?”


    Zachary asked, “Did you and Josiah break up?”


    “Yes.”


    “Really?”


    Lysander furrowed her brows. “How is this rted to the matter we need to discuss?”


    Zachary scoffed. “Josiah has been surrounded by all kinds of women recently, in all shapes and sizes,


    as if he’s hosting a beauty pageant. I was initially puzzled, considering how deeply in love he was with


    you and how much he was willing to sacrifice for you. How did he suddenly be a yboy like


    Aiden? However, after asking around, nobody seems to know what exactly happened.


    Lysander said, “You know that he and I are divorced, so whatever he does after our separation is none


    of my business. Whether he’s hosting a beauty pageant or selecting a consort, what does it have to do


    with Michelle? She’s just an innocent young girl! I’m sure you know the kind of ce Skywatch is.”


    “She wanted to make money, and I happened to have the right conpections. I also warned her about


    the potential risks involved, and she assured me that she would be cautious.”

    “Are you sure you made things clear with her?”

    “Don’t believe me? Go ask her yourself.”


    “What did you say?”


    Zachary was all smiles as he said, “Come on, Lysander, your sister is already eighteen. Do you still


    think she’s a naive kindergartener who doesn’t know anything?”


    Lysander insisted, “Even if she does know, what if someone there has ill intentions? How could a


    young girl like her possibly defend herself?”


    Zachary remarked with a devil–may–care attitude, “She is, after all, Josiah’s sister–inw. Who would


    dare


    to harm her?”


    “Could you possibly stoo mentioning losiah? If youso infatuated with Josiah, why don’t you go to

    Thymion, get a sex reassignment surgery, and marry him yourself?”


    Zachary’s expression shifted. “Lysander, you haven’t experienced the business world in Harborbrook,


    nor do you know the frustration of seeing your hard–earned fruits ofbor be a gift for those with


    connections. You wouldn’t understand how much convenience the name Josiah could bring.”


    Lysander replied, “I’m a doctor, not a businessman. The name Josiah doesn’t grant me any particr


    advantages.


    “That’s just because you have no idea,” said Zachary.


    Lysander slightly frowned. “What do you mean?”


    Two burgers were served.


    Zachary took a bite and savored it before letting out a sigh. “In the entire Harborbrook, how many


    people do you think could arrange a private jet so quickly to send Daphne’s grandmother abroad for


    treatment?”


    “So what you’re saying is, the private jet was sent by Josiah… No, that’s not right. It was a favor from a


    friend of my elder rtive.”


    Zachary, too, hesitated. “Are you sure?”


    “Why would I lie to you about this?”


    Zachary’s expression darkened. “I really not him?”

    Lysander rapped on the table, steering the conversation back on track. “You still haven’t exined why.


    you persuaded Michelle to work at Skywatch.”


    Zachary was straightforward. “I want you to meet with Josiah.”


    Lysander was puzzled, “Why?”


    “I wanted to see what was really going on between you two. Are youpletely broken up, or was it


    just a minor spat?” Zachary put down his burger and pulled out a napkin to wipe his mouth.


    “Aiden is a regr at Skywatch, and given Josiah’s recent party–animal lifestyle, Aiden will most


    certainly bring him there. Josiah must be familiar with your sister, right? If he still considers Michelle his


    niece, he’ll definitely take some action. He might contact you to pick her up or send her home himself.


    The two of you would have to meet either way. But to my surprise, Josiah did nothing when he saw her.


    You came yourself. What surprised me even more was…” Zachary paused for a moment and


    continued, “that when he saw you and your sister being surrounded by two men, he didn’t even bother.


    Instead, he walked off with another woman in his arms.”


    Lysanderposed herself, studying him intently. “Were you also at Skywatch just now?”


    “I didn’t go in. I was outside the door, but I saw everything that needed to be seen.”


    “So, do you believe me now? I’ve really broken up with Josiah. If you’re still nning to use me to get


    any benefits from him. I’m afraid that n is going to fall through,” said Lysander.

    napkin down on the table, he said, “I wasid off.”


    “Josiah’s orders?“Lysander was taken aback.
