Chapter 77


    Chapter 77 What If I Don’t Give It To You?


    Lysanne extended her hand and insisted. “You were acting strangely after looking at your phone.


    You were upset. There must be something you’re hiding! Give me your phone!”


    He took a deep breath while suppressing his anger and stated calmly, “It’s a message from my


    mom. She’s unwell.”


    “I don’t believe you!”


    Josiah had tried to reason with Lysander, but his patience wore thin. He grabbed his things and


    headed straight to the living room. “You rest. I won’t be back tonight. I’ll stay at the old house.”


    “Josiah, stop right there!”


    He ignored her, opened the bedroom door, and closed it behind him with a bang.


    Lysanne leaped out of bed and blocked the doorway with her arms. “Josiah, if you don’t show me


    your phone today, you can’t leave this room!”


    Josiah retorted, “Are you trying to start a fight?”


    “Yes, I am! You’re clearly troubled about something! We’ve been friends for over twenty years. I can


    tell what’s on your mind just by looking at you! You must have seen something rted to that


    Lysander!”


    “Lysanne, move aside. I need to get to work.”


    “I won’t let you go to work today without exining things clearly to me.”


    “Thepany recently lost a major order and suffered significant financial losses. You are aware of


    that! If I don’t go to work, the shareholders will protest! Consequently, the stock price of Guerra


    Group will continue to decline!”


    “What does the Guerra Group situation have to do with me? I’m not concerned,” Lysander said. “I’ll


    say it one final time. Hand me the phone!”


    Josiah stood up straight and was reluctant to provide any further exnations. “What will happe


    refuse to give it to you?”

    The Charming Ex-Wife


    Chapter 78 Is This Your House?


    “I’ll… I’ll…”


    Lysanne looked around, then grabbed a ceramic ornament from the cab and held it against her


    stomach. “If you don’t show me, I’ll smash it!”


    Josiah stared at her for a moment, then let out a deep breath.


    “You really want to see, don’t you?”


    Lysanne continued, “Yes!”


    “All right.” Josiah handed her his phone. “Take a look.”


    His phone was very simple.


    Email, a few news apps, and WhatsApp.


    Lysanne scrolled through them one by one.


    The emails in his inbox were mostly correspondence with subordinates in thepany, with the


    most from her cousin and Josiah’s current secretary, Jude Bet.


    There wasn’t much to see in the news apps, as he usually only read the finance section, and the


    push notifications were all finance-rted news.


    As for WhatsApp…


    The top message was indeed from Josiah’s mother, Susan, with the nickname “Mom.”


    Mom wrote, ‘Josiah, I’ve been having frequent headachestely. What kind of medicine should I


    take?’


    Josiah replied, ‘The cause of headaches can beplex. Let me take you to the hospital for a


    check- up?’


    Mom wrote, ‘No need. I’ll just take some painkillers myself. It’s probably due to poor sleep recently.


    Josiah wrote, ‘Mom, have you been having trouble sleeping all this time?’


    Mom replied, Yes, but it’s okay. Don’t worry. Focus on your work. A lot is going on at the Guerra


    Group. Don’t worry about me.’


    That was it.


    There were only just these few messages.


    Josiah asked, “Have you finished reading?”


    Lysanne was somewhat satisfied, but also felt a little guilty. Nevertheless, she still held her head


    high
