Tiffany felt a pang of disappointment, but she had always admired Josiah. Seeing that he was
encouraging her to go, she believed he must have had his reasons. She promptly nodded. “Josiah, in
that case, please enjoy yourselves. I’ll be going now.”
“Alright.”
Tiffany and Adrian returned together to Lysander’s home.
Adrian treated her like a little sister, offering a few words offort.
Once they left, Lysander and Josiah were the only ones remaining in the room, silently facing each
other.
The seafood delivery had already been ordered, but it was certain that there would be a bit of a wait
before it arrived.
Lysander knew that Adrian had deliberately led Tiffany away to give her and Josiah some privacy,
intending for her to clear things up with Josiah. However, it clearly wasn’t the right time.
Right now, Josiah was just like a time bomb, and she had no intention of engaging with him.
After waiting for a while, Josiah, for reasons unknown, suddenly walked away in a huff. He returned to
the couch he had been sitting on earlier.
His stomach was still aching faintly. Earlier, he had been too engrossed in the argument to pay mind.
But now that he had stopped, it seemed as though the pain had be more severe.

Lysander followed along, but instead of sitting on the sofa, she casually pulled a chair from the dining
room to sit on.
Then there was a prolonged silence.
It wasn’t until Josiah regained hisposure that he hoarsely asked, “If you needed money for the
house, why didn’t youe to me earlier?”
Lysander could tell that his grievance was genuine and couldn’t help but respond sarcastically, “You
deliberately left the relocation project and let a newpany take over, knowing full well that my family
couldn’t afford the cost. You even had the newpany’s managere to our house to discuss it.
Isn’t it clear that you’re trying to distance yourself from me? Moreover, you’re already engaged. What
business is it of mine to go ask my ex–husband for money? If my father hadn’t been tricked by Zachary
into borrowing money from a loan shark, I wouldn’t have even bothered to call youst night.”
“Yes, I indeed intended to put you in a difficult position,” Josiah confessed. “Lysander, I’m somewhat at
a loss. I’m willing to make every effort to make amends for my mistakes, yet it seems as if all these
efforts mean nothing to you.”
Lysander said, “I’ll repeat myself/consider me a cold–blooded creature. I can’t give you what you want
“I don’t believe you’re truly heartless,” said Josiah. “How could someone who braved a typhoon to save
a pregnant stranger and willing to sacrifice everything for her sister and family be heartless? Or are
you, saying, you’re only heartless toward me?”

Josiah’s words were filled with more hopelessness than resentment. “Last night, after failing to reach
me, you called Adrian instead, didn’t you?”
“Dr. Sutton had called me for White Coat’s vination booklet, and that’s when this matter came up.”
Josiah frowned, “White Coat?”
“When I was in the Stounia, I adopted a little white dog and named him White Coat.”
“Did you name it?”
“I named it together with Dr. Sutton.”

Josiah scoffed.
“After I returned to our country, I was caught up in a series of events. Dr. Sutton has always been the
one taking care of White Coat. This time, he even brought White Coat back on his trip for me. Thest
time our home was burrized, White Coat was injured in his right leg. Dr. Sutton immediately took him
to the animal hospital. To be honest, he seems more like White Coat’s owner than I ever was.”
Josiah noticed a hint of sadness in her expression, his tone softened. “Do you like puppies?”
“I guess so. I was indifferent in the past, but ever since… ever since we lost our child, I’ve found myself
growing fond of small animals.”
Josiah said, “Since it has already chosen him as its owner, it seems it wasn’t meant to be yours. You
should let him have it. Another day, I’ll take you to pick out a new one.”
“No. I n to take over Thorne Constructions and Energies in the future, and I’ll be too busy to take
care of pets. If the puppy stays with me, it will end up feeling lonely. It would be better to find an owner
who can apany it.”
Josiah raised an eyebrow slightly. “If you’re too busy, I can take care of it first.”
“Guerra Group is muchrger than Thorne Constructions and Energies. If I barely have time, how
would you?”
Josiah said, “I can arrange for someone to take special care of it.”
“What’s the point of having a dog then? The whole idea of owning a dog is to keep each other
company.”
After a moment of contemtion, Josiah let out a soft sigh.
“In that case, we can go pick one when you’re free.”
Lysander said, “There are so many pet shops around. If I wanted to get a pet, I might just go and buy
one myself after work one day.”
Josiah wore an expression of dejection. His usually straight back had slumped a little, his elbow resting
on his thigh as he admitted, “When you calledst night, I was in the middle of a video conference and
didn’t hear it. By the time it ended, it was already past six in the morning. It was too early, and I didn’t
want to disturb your sleep, so I thought I’de to see you after I got home.”

Ever since witnessing the grandeur at Tiffany’s birthday party, everyone in their social circle believed
that Riveron Corporation and Guerra Group would intensify their coboration in the future.
“Josiah, can I ask you something?”
“Go on.”
“You partnered with Riveron Corporation because of Tiffany, didn’t you? Or was there some other
business consideration involved? Your previous coboration with the Everhart family was doing fine…”
Josiah exined, “The health of Old Mrs. Everhart has been unpredictable, forcing Mr. Everhart to stay
by her side and care for her. Honestly, his attention to Everhart Corporation and its product quality has
been somewhatx these past couple of years. The defective rate of the building materials supplied
has exceeded fifteen percent. Even if I’m willing to continuously support them financially, the situation
isn’t sustainable.”
Lysander gave a nod. “I understand.”
“You don’t understand anything,” said Josiah. “Daphne is an only child, cherished by her parents. Yet,
she’s never been involved in their family business. What will happen when her father gets old? Will she
roll up her sleeves and take over thepany, only to run it into the ground? Or will she find a capable
husband to manage thepany for her? Can anyone guarantee that this man won’t turn out to be the
next Harry or Zachary?”
Lysander remained silent.
Josiah said, “She’s helped you a lot, especially during… during the time after your abortion. She took
care of you wholeheartedly. I don’t usually mention these things, but I keep them in mind. It would be
best for Daphne to gain some experience as soon as possible by dipping her toes in. It’s always better
than not having any options in the future.”
“So, you prevented Ms. Spears from investing in Everhart Corporationpany as a way to train her?”
“It’s not really like that. The investmentpany where Whitney works has been experiencing frequent
changes in its upper management recently. There’s talk about a new CEO being brought in from
abroad. When a new leader takes over, thepany structure tends to shift. Even if Whitney were to
make a promise now, it would be difficult for her to keep itter. It might be better to start looking for
other options sooner rather thanter to avoid wasting time.”
Lysander furrowed her brow. “A change in the upper management… Daphne might not be aware of it
yet.”
Josiah chuckled. “She definitely has no idea. The news has been kept under tight wraps until now. I
myself only found out a few days ago.”
“Thank you. I will let her know.”
“It doesn’t matter whether you tell her or not, her hatred for me is so deep–seated that nothing can
change it.”
“Daphne was a person who clearly distinguished between right and wrong.”
Josiah gave a slightugh, refraining frommenting on the matter.

He picked it up and nced at it, his lips curling up slightly.
“Is there good news?”
Josiah said, “You can call Daphne now. Ask her to head to the airport first thing tomorrow morning.”
“Why does she need to go there?”
“The private jet I lent out should be back by tomorrow morning.”
