Chapter 1731


    She couldn''t believe it. All this time, Thssa thought Joshua hade up with some genius


    strategy to pull the Whitman Group out of its slump. But no, his grand n was to ride on


    Lysander''s coattails to save thepany''s reputation!


    After all, Lysander was a titan in the business world, a name that could send shivers down the spine


    of hispetitors. His prowess and audacity were beyond question.


    With Joshua stepping down, the personal reputation issues guing the Whitman Group''s CEO


    would vanish, allowing the stock to recover. And with Lysander''s international renown, his taking


    over would surely lure more partners to the Whitman Group.


    More partnerships meant a better reputation, which, in turn, meant only one thing for thepany''s


    stocks: they were going up.


    Joshua was a sly old fox, alright. This move would only make the Whitman Group stronger.


    Turning around, Thssa saw Hertha looking utterly dejected. She couldn''t help but burst out in


    indignation, "What in the world is Joshua ying at? For three years, he keeps you hidden from the


    media, and the moment he acknowledges you, he marries off his youngest daughter to Lysander


    and hands over thepany. Is he recognizing you or using you?"


    The more Hertha thought about it, the angrier she became. Just yesterday, she thought Thssa


    was finally getting the fatherly love she deserved. But today? Today was an entirely different story.


    Did any of them even consider Thssa''s feelings?


    It seemed Thssa was just there to be exploited.

    "And Lysander! He imed to have feelings for you, and now, out of nowhere, he''s marrying


    Rosalind! He''s not in love with you. He''s in love with power, with the endless wealth!" Hertha was so


    worked up she half-wished she could yank those three out of the tablet screen and give them a


    piece of her mind.


    Thssa merely offered a bitter smile, saying nothing.


    Then came Rosalind''s speech, thanking everyone for their care and looking forward to her


    marriage.


    The camera then shifted to Lysander. His strikingly handsome features, his majestic presence, even


    seated in a wheelchair, silent and expressionless, were enough tomand respect and instill a


    sense of awe.


    Watching Lysander on the screen, Thssa felt as though he was looking right at her, his


    prating gaze seeming to peer into her very soul, causing her heart to ache.


    The reporter boldly asked, "Mr. Sinir, what''s your primary reason for marrying Rosalind from the


    Whitman Group? Is it to solve thepany''s crisis, or is it out of love?"


    "Wow, that reporter''s got guts, hitting Lysander with such a direct question," Hertha eximed, now


    thoroughly intrigued.


    She quickly looked at Thssa and asked, "What do you think? Why is Lysander marrying


    Rosalind?"


    Thssa pressed her lips together, her eyes still fixed on Lysander''s. It was as if Lysander had this


    magical aura that made it impossible to look away once you locked eyes with him.


    "It''s impossible to guess what he''s thinking; otherwise, he wouldn''t be Lysander," Thssa said


    quietly.


    Hertha pondered, "True, Lysander''s always been unpredictable. But I still want to know, is it for


    status, wealth, or does he genuinely love Rosalind?"


    As she finished, Hertha focused intently on the live feed on the tablet.


    The room fell silent after the reporter''s question, everyone eagerly awaiting Lysander''s response,


    hoping to catch a bombshell news story.


    Everyone wanted to know if the notoriously cold-hearted Lysander could genuinely love the woman


    he was about to marry.
