The Charming Ex-Wife
Chapter 50 Time
“Haha, don’t you find it hilarious? I have never seen anyone like Josiah before. If one calls him a complete idiot, the man has successfully managed such a big company after all this time. Still, he can’t be all that bright since he’s willing to do such irrational things.”
Lysander remarked, “Ah, the power of love. It’s mysterious, isn’t it?”
Daphne sneered, “I really don’t understand him. What does he see in Lysanne? If he’s a king, it wouldn’t be that far off to call him a completely useless one, wouldn’t you say?”
Lysander’s assessment was straightforward. “Well, maybe those two are addicted to that sort of toxic love.”
“In any
case, this incident ultimately falls on Josiah’s shoulders. Your ex-mother-in-law fainted when she found out. This matter has spread like wildfire within our social circle!”
“Oh.”
“What do you mean ‘oh? Aren’t you the slightest bit gleeful? Come on. Let’s have a celebratory meal. We missed out on dining at that popular restaurant last time. We should go there this time.”
Lysander shook her head. “There are too many people there. Why don’t we just have a meal somewhere else?”
Alas, Daphne insisted, “No way! I’ve been wanting to dine at that popular restaurant for so long!”
Lysander’s throbbing ovaries had improved significantly after some rest. So. Daphne immediately seized this opportunity to drag her out, stuff her in the car, and fasten Lysander’s seatbelt before the woman could say a word of protest.
When she noticed Lysander’s slightly displeased expression, she merely smiled cheekily. “Don’t worry. I will never fall in love in this lifetime. The front passenger seat is yours for as long as you want.”
Lysander couldn’t help but chuckle at that.
Still, there was the slightest twinge of regret after being teased about the front passenger seat over and over again. I shouldn’t have confided in her about Lysanne at the time.Daphne is wonderful. However, her tongue- is as sharp as she is brilliant.
passengers
Due to the front issue, she would talk extensively about the ownership of the front passenger seat every single time they went out. After a beat, she would immediately begin criticizing Lysanne, saying disparagingly. “She is just a typical two-faced b*tch. You shouldn’t have backed down at that time. I still believe you should have stood up for yourself.”
Lysander made herself comfortable in her seat and gazed out the window, saying nothing.
Sure, I can do that. It still doesn’t change what would come after.
Josiah would surely defend Lysanne right down to his last breath.
It would only lead to unnecessary trouble. Frankly, Lysander found it too cumbersome to bother.

Chapter 50 Time
Daphne harshly reprimanded her, “You always believe that everything can be resolved gracefully. I want to say, ‘no judgment but that would be a bald-faced lie. Your marriage ended on a graceful note because of it. Regardless, you are the only one who got hurt while the other two are happily together.”
Lysander chuckled softly as she retorted. “Is he happy now?”
“Of course.” Daphne was surprised by her response. Nonetheless, she quickly changed her tone as she mused. “He probably was happy. Sadly, his company suffered a major loss because of Lysanne and her darling cousin. The man’s career is affected because of them. The situation is utterly different now. So, I don’t know if Josiah will still be as devoted to Lysanne as before.”
On the way to the restaurant, Lysander checked the financial news for the first time in a long while.
She deliberately avoided any news about him during her time apart from Josiah.
I have to admit that time is truly a powerful remedy. Time has given me the chance to eventually release my grip on bitterness and bring me closure.
When she saw his name in the news again, she no longer felt the same excitement as she did m
past.
Her heart was as still as a calm lake.
The news
the
report was concise, stating that the president of the Guerra Group, Josiah Guerra, had caused a fatal accident while driving under influence. The reporter didn’t bother hiding the fact that the case was currently under further investigation.
Lysander inquired, “Daphne, you mentioned that the Guerra family lost tens of millions. So, will Josiah go to jail?”
“That’s a good question. I’ll do some digging and inform you when I have more information.”
“There’s no need for that. Lysander said, “You don’t have to tell me.”
After a pause, she changed her mind. “Actually, please find out as soon as possible and inform me.”
Daphne’s face immediately wrinkled in confusion. “You still care about him?”
“I’m not concerned about that. I worry that if he ends up in jail, I won’t be able to complete the divorce process.”
Daphne chuckled softly, offering reassurance as she spoke, “Ah, my heart feels at ease knowing that you’re wide awake now.”
