Chapter 153 Returning To The Hometown.
Daphne asked: Do you regret exposing her scandal in public?
At that very moment, Lysander had already taken a seat on the high–speed train bound for home.
Looking at the WhatsApp message from Daphne, to be honest, she felt there was a tiny bit of regret in her
heart.
The image of Lysanne’s parents pleading with Josiah that day lingered in her mind for a long time.
She recalled Susan mentioning a few times before that the Thorne family held some significance. Howard, self–made and industrious, had built a considerable fortune from scratch. In his youth, he was an extraordinarily determined and capable man.
As for Lysanne’s mother, it was said that she was a music teacher and a very respectable and elegant woman.
Yet, for the sake of her daughter, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and humbly ask a favor from someone of a younger generation. That left Lysander with a bitter feeling in her heart.
Daphne said, “Even she, as the daughter, doesn’t feel guilty. Why should you feel upset? She knew well that her parents and Josiah were outside, yet she was acting as if she were on her deathbed in the ward. Isn’t it just to force her parents to plead with Josiah? Because of the issue with Grandma Elisa, Josiah despises her now. If it weren’t for her parents, and she was alone there, acting as if she wanted to die, do you think Josiah would bother with her?”
Lysander said, “Well, he did love her once. How could he just stand by and watch her die?”
Daphne laughed. “Do you really believe she would take her life? Let me tell you, those who cry and shout about ending their lives are only doing so to manipulate others. Those who are truly desolate, they leave silently, all by themselves.”
“And how do you know about that?”
“During our senior year, I was just like this. Have you forgotten?”
That statement stirred up the deep–seated memories of Lysander once again.
The situation involved Harry back during senior year.
Before Daphne evolved into a shrewd, back when she was still the innocent high school girl known as Harper, Harry had stepped on her to secure a guaranteed admission to Apex University. She was left heartbroken, having failed her own entrance exams, and even dragged her best friend, Lysander, down with her. Feeling utterly desolate, Harper had secretly run off to Harborbrook, intending to end her life by jumping into the
sca
By the time her parents realized they couldn’t reach their daughter, it was already the next morning.
Lysander had searched for her throughout the night, and at last, she found Harper on a seaside rock, in the midst of penning her farewell letter.
Daphne’s voice became unexpectedly emotional. “Lysander, do you know? I was ready to die back then. I was prepared to leave quietly without telling anyone. However, you appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly, I didn’t want to die anymore. There was someone in this world who was worried about me and searched for me all night. I realized then, what did Harry, that b*stard, matter? There was someone on this earth who loved me so much. It would have been such a waste if I had just died like that.”

Lysander chuckled. “Hey, didn’t you hold me and cry a lot back then, promising to take care of me for a lifetime? You need to stick to your word, you know.”
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t, and don’t change the topic. My main point here is that the homewrecker was simply using her parents to pressure Josiah, forcing him to accept her. It’s not like she genuinely wanted to die.”
Lysander gave a noncommittal, “Right.”
“Let’s not talk about that now. Is your sister feeling any better?”
Lysander’s brows furrowed once again.
Her younger sister, Michelle, was just two months away from her crucial exams when her grades suddenly plummeted.
When Lysander inquired about it, it turned out that Michelle had fallen in love.
Her parents were just ordinary workers, utterly helpless when it came to handling their rebellious daughter. Left with no other choice, they called back her academically gifted older sister, hoping she could guide the younger one back on track before the crucial college entrance exams.
Upon hearing that, Daphne clicked her tongue. “This story… Why does it sound so familiar to me?”
It was familiar to her because the same thing happened to her back then.
Daphne asked, “Have you seen the boy? I hope he’s not another Harry, Version Two.”
Lysander rubbed her temples. “I haven’t met him yet. I guess I’ll meet him this time when I go back.”
“All right, you go ahead and take care of your household matters first. I’ll update you on any developments. regarding Josiah and that homewrecker.”
“Don’t bother updating me, and don’t continue concerning that. Just go on and live your own life.”
