Lysanne was relentless. “Even if Josiah didn’t say anything, you still need to secure your position. As
long- as I don’t agree, don’t even dream about resting easy!”
Lysander asked coldly, “Is that so?”
Lysanne began toy out her terms. “I’m not asking for much. We’re both daughters of the Thorne
family. so let’s split it evenly. I want half of the shares in the Thorne family’spany, and you need to
return the public funds you’ve moved. The three million our father gave you can be overlooked, but at
least half of the remaining twelve million, which is on thepany’s books, needs to be returned,
right?”
Unable to hold back her amusement, Lysander asked, “Are these your thoughts, or are they Josiah’s?”
Lysanne slightly lifted her chin, a smug smile ying on her meticulously made–up face. She looked
down on Lysander with disdain and said, “Initially, it was my idea, but when I mentioned it to Josiah, he
didn’t object. So, it’s also his idea, I suppose. All we’re asking is for you to cough up six million, which
isn’t a lot.”
The more onecked something, the more one tended to emphasize it. Lysander recalled Josiah, who
was said to be away on a business trip by Carol. With a cold gaze, she responded decisively, “Let me
make it crystal clear to you. It’s impossible. If you can’t ept it, feel free to sue me in court.”
The funds had already been paid to the bank through Daphne’s ount, so Lysander truly couldn’t
come up with any money.
Lysanne, however, was not overly concerned about money. She shifted the focus, stating. “There’s no
rush for the money, but what about the shares? The contract stiptes that you must give me half of
the shares. That’s what I’m entitled to.”
Lysander’s expression grew colder, her bare face masked with a chill. “I’ve said it before. If you truly
believe you’re in the right, then take me to court and sue me through the proper channels. Whatever
the judgement is after the trial, so be it.”
Upon seeing her unresponsiveness and herplexion drastically changing, Lysanne squeezed out a
sentence. “Do you think I don’t dare?”
“Of course not, Lysander assured her calmly, “I just believe in the fairness of the judiciary and I also
respect the solemnity of thew.”
Thew would never condone such unreasonable behavior.
After Lysander finished speaking, she bypassed Lysanne and left the restroom. She had just entered
the corridor when she heard hurried footsteps behind her. It was Lysanne, persistently following her in
her high heels.
Lysanne was nearly out of breath. Stop right there!”
Lysander ignored her, nonchntly continuing her journey back.
Lysanne pursued stubbornly, stating, “Do you think I’m just after the money? I’m considering the efforts
of our parents. You’ve always been in medicine, and you’ve never been exposed to business
management, let alone understand the principles of operation. Handing thepany over to you would
only squander
their hard work!”

grew colder and colder. She felt it was unfair to her biological parents, and her irritation toward her
meddling increased.
Lysander halted in his tracks.
Lysanne quickly moved in front of her, blocking her path.

The corridor near the restroom was a fair distance away from the pond, surrounded by an abundance
of subtly swaying ferns. While they were bathed in the light from themps along the walkway, it was
impossible for anyone to hide the smallest of expressions on their faces.
Anxious. Lysanne yed the emotional card. “Even if you haven’t lived with them, even if you don’t feel
close to them, you can’t just sit back and watch their business crumble, right? Dad has already given
you three million.”
This three million was a personal asset that Howard had transferred to Lysander through his individual
ount. If it weren’t for this, she feared she might have had to split even this amount in half.
With patience, Lysander retorted, “Even if I can’t, what about you? Are you capable of running the
company?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Lysanne said, brimming with an inexplicable confidence. “Didn’t
Josiah manage Thome Constructions and Energies well in the past? If you transfer thepany to my
name, I can find a way to have him continue helping”
Lysander raised an eyebrow. “And then?”
Lysanne, puzzled, asked, “Is there even a need to ask? Of course, everything will remain the same.
Thepany’s growth will surely surpass what it was under your management.”
She didn’t mention a word about equity division or profit distribution,pletely forgetting the reason
she had just used to ask for a share of the money.
Lysander was not in the mood for idle chatter with her. Maintaining a straight face, she said, “Good
idea, but as I’ve said before. No matter what you n to do, you should go to court first. Until I see the
court’s verdict, I don’t want to and won’t discuss this any further.”

Naturally, Lysanne didn’t dare to engage in awsuit. Seeing Lysander about to leave, she gritted her
teeth and said, “If you don’t agree, I have another solution.”
“I’m not interested…” Lysander’s words were abruptly cut off.
With an air of having made a significant concession, Lysanne said, “As long as you return to Josiah’s
side, he will still help manage the Thorne family’spany. Surely, this wouldn’t put you at a
disadvantage, right?”
Astonished, Lysander drew in a sharp breath, her face filled with confusion as she asked, “Do you even
know what you’re saying?”
Lysanne’splexion had paled a shade more than before. Her best foundation couldn’t hide her
current indignation. Yet, for the sake of her interests, she managed to suppress the urge to have an
outright. confrontation with Lysander/asking. “For you, this solution should be more eptable than the
previous one, right?”
A gust of wind swept through, causing the leaves to stle sofil.

Lysander turned solemn and said, “You’re overthinking it. I’m just a bit curious. Why did your attitude
change so quickly? You were clearly at odds with me before, doing everything in your power to push
me away from Josiah. So why now have you suddenly started voicing different opinions?”
Something must be amiss if one is exhibiting abnormal behavior.
Lysanne thought she was moved by his words, so she casually said, “Because I understand the
principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and now you’re no longer my enemy.”
Lysander didn’t readily believe these few words. She replied nonchntly. “It seems you’ve had quite a
few enemiestely.”
Living like this was truly exhausting. She was grateful that she had managed to extricate herself from
the whirlpool that was Josiah’s life in time.
Unaware, Lysanne continued, “You saw Tiffany just now, didn’t you? She’s currently the one Josiah
openly acknowledges as his girlfriend, and most likely to be his fiancée. I want to get her out of
the picture.”
Even to this day, she still couldn’tprehend where the problemy. She naively thought that as long
as she could outshine the women by Josiah’s side, she would obtain what she had always dreamt of.
Lysander despised her, yet at the same time, she pitied Lysanne’s short–sightedness.
Lysanne managed to steer the conversation back. “I may be out of the picture for now, but it’s different
for you. I can tell that you still hold a significant ce in his heart. If you’re willing to swallow your pride
and make concessions, he may not necessarily end up marrying Tiffany.”
Her inexplicable self–confidence was truly admirable,
A twitch tugged at the corner of Lysander’s mouth, her emotions more absurd than hearing a fantastical
tale. “Your imagination is truly rich. But please, keep it to yourself. Don’t drag me into it.”
The events of the past, each and every one of them, were deeply etched in her heart. They served as
reminders for her to live each uing day to the fullest, never to tread back on the path she had
already walked.
Lysanne saw that Lysander was not buying her act, so she intentionally put on a pleasant face and
tried to persuade her, “You’ve misunderstood me. I just feel that you and I are the same. After all, we’re
both daughters of our parents. Even though one of us is biological and the other is adopted, we’re still
closer to each other than we are to Tiffany.”
She had never paid attention to these things before.
Lysander spoke candidly. “I noticed you’re quite close with Tiffany. Weren’t you just holding hands and
taking pictures by the pond?”
