 She turned off the lights and left the room.

 The room was once again shrouded in darkness.

 Several minutes <iter, Josiah found his consciousness starting to blur.

 Unlike the debilitating effects brought about by the aphrodisiac, he began to involuntarily reminisce about the past with Lysander.

 In Josiah’s mind, Lysander was no longer the cold figure she had be after their fallout. She was smiling at him sweetly, reminiscent of the wonderful times. they once shared after their marriage.

 This scene stirred a heat within him, sparking a yearning for <ifort.

 D*mn it! What she added in the water was…

 Josiah never anticipated that Tiffany could go this far. He swiftly clenched the shards of ss hidden in his sleeve, the pain jolting him back to reality. Only this kind of agony could help him ovee the effects of the drug.

 Apanied by a creaking sound, the bedroom door was opened once again. Tiffany, having changed her clothes, appeared beside the bed.

 She leaned over and whispered into his ear, “Jose, you must be feeling quite ufortable now, aren’t you? Men like you, who truly capture my heart, are rare to find. I’ve given it much thought, and I believe my child must have an exceptional father. Otherwise, if the genes aren’t good, they won’t be worthy of being my child.”

 Josiah was breathing rapidly, avoiding her gaze as he said, “What do you think a child is? The product of breeding?”

 A child should be the embodiment of two people’s love. Otherwise, their life is bound to be a tragedy they can’t bear to look back on.

 Tiffany, however, was <ipletely unfazed by this. Seeing Josiah with his eyes. tightly closed, giving off an air of absolute rejection, she said in confusion, “There’s no need to make it sound so unpleasant. This is just the <ibination of superior

 thousand times better than those two siblings.”

 Josiah had no desire to entertain her peculiar logic. He forcefully drew a piece of broken ss across his palm, creating a gash. Then, he clenched that hand into a fist, allowing his nails to tear into his own flesh.

 Although he had only taken a few sips, the potent drug in the water was not to be underestimated.

 Tiffany was determined to make things irreversible. A fierce malice shed in her

 eyes

 when she saw that he was unwilling to <iply. She casually pulled open her outer garment, revealing a shirt specifically prepared to match Lysander’s style of dress. “If it means having a child, you can pretend I’m Lysa.”

 Upon hearing Lysander’s name, even in such an awkward situation, Josiah couldn’t help but soften his expression.

 Lysander…

 He silently recited this name, his entire being seemingly ready to lose itself within it.

 Seeing that her move was effective, Tiffany hastily ced her hand on his chest, deftly unbuttoning his shirt while whispering seductively, “Josiah, I am Lysander. Do you like me… hmm? If you do, then hold me…

 She bore no resemnce to Lysander. The only deception possible was in the dark, with the lights off and the curtains drawn, where a mere piece of clothing could blur the lines of reality.

 Josiah opened his eyes as if driven by some unseen force. Inside his sleeve, the shard of ss shifted slightly, its sharp edges sinking deep into his flesh.

 The intense, piercing pain jolted him back to consciousness.

 Lysander would never do such a thing. Even when she believed their marriage still had a chance, she never once took the initiative like this.

 Lysander had a subtle smile, and her voice that called his name was even more crisp and clear.

 “Josiah? Didn’t you say you liked me? Why are you not doing anything?” Tiffany moved closer, instinctively reaching out to hold his hand. “Touch me… Ah!”

 about to lie down, he

 pressed the ss against her neck and forcefully stabbed it in.

 Tiffany clutched her neck in pain and yelled, “What are you holding in your hand?”

 Josiah exerted a bit more force, causing her to sense danger before he slowly spoke. “Have your people bring a car over, or else you’ll die right here.”

 Tiffany was <ipletely defenseless. Her beautiful dream had been shattered, and in a fit of hysteria, she dered, “Fine, then let’s both go down together!”

 “No, you’re the only one who’s going down!”

 Josiah noticed that her words did not summon the bodyguards and realized that she might have intentionally sent everyone else away to facilitate the good. moment earlier.

 This was truly a case of divine intervention.

 Even if he was drugged, it wasn’t much of a challenge. He was a man, after all.

 With decisive action, Josiah knocked Tiffany unconscious and left her on the bed. He then staggered to his feet and, with all the speed he could muster, made his escape from the ce.

 The bodyguards wouldn’t be gone for long and could return at any moment to check on things. Hence, he didn’t dare to waste a single second. Despite his limbs still feeling weak, he forced himself to stay alert under the painful stimtion.

 By the time he drove back to Guerra Group, the steering wheel was already smeared with blood.

 Olivia had just received a ransom letter and was preparing to go to the bank to transfer the money when she bumped into Josiah, who had just clumsily tumbled out of the driver’s seat. She eximed in excitement, “Mr. Guerra, you’re finally back…”

 about Lysander’s situation.

 Olivia handed over the letter and replied, “Mr. Guerra, should we call the police?”

 “No.” Trembling, Josiah took out the button from the envelope. His voice was hoarse as he confirmed, “This is indeed Lysander’s button.”

 Olivia hastily exined, “Mrs. Guerra went missing <ist night. Ms. Lionhart’s daughter, Nilou, and Rhizone were also in the car at the time. However, by the time passersby discovered the overturned car on the side of the road and reported. it to the police, all four of them had already disappeared. There was also a button like this found in the car.”

 The contents of the ransom letter were the only lead they had at the moment.

 Josiah tightened his grip on the button, suddenly sensing something was off through his touch.

 The button felt somewhat sticky to the touch as if it had been tainted by something that couldn’t be easily washed off.

 Josiah brought the button up to his nose and took a sniff, a realization forming in his mind. He instructed Olivia, “Give them the five million requested in the letter but have someone from the secretarial department handle it. I need you to find. someone to analyze the <iposition of the substance on this button immediately. This is a clue given to us by Lysander.”

 Lysander was smart and shrewd. She wouldn’t waste her efforts on fruitless tasks.

 Before long, in a warehouse located in the old suburban factory district, the leader was practically bursting with excitement as he looked at the newly received message. “This is real money we’re talking about. I can’t believe how easily we got our hands on five million!”

 Thanks to the money, Lysander’s treatment had improved slightly. At the very least, she now had a chair to sit on, and the ropes around her feet had been untied. However, her hands were still firmly bound behind her, even tied to the chair itself.

 “I’ve said it before, instead of sticking with the Lanister family who are already at a dead end, you’d be better off looking out for yourselves.”

 for as long as possible.

 The thugs looked at her as if she were a living gold mine. The leader was brutally frank as he said, “I only sent over a button, and they agreed to five million without. a second thought. Seems like you’re pretty important to Josiah. All right, I’ve changed my mind. Five million is not enough. It has to be ten million!”

 These people’s greed had been fed by an unexpected windfall. They wished they could rely on Lysander to seize all of the Guerra family’s wealth, but for a short while, they neither dared nor would they attempt to touch her again.

 Lysander’s desire to see Josiah had never been as intense as it was at that moment. She slowly exhaled and said, “All right, I can continue to help you. But ten million is too much. The ransom letter has to be written as I dictate.”Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
