His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 561 Provide Support And Protection Finished: Lysander was preoccupied, not really hearing his words. She absentmindedly cradled the kitten in her arms and returned to the table, continuing to go through the documents.

Just like the day before, Josiah brewed a cup of honey lemon tea for her and then quietly went about his own business.

In such a tranquil environment, it still took Lysander a good while to forget the non the color Doppler ultrasound film and fully immerse herself in her work.

She had made up her mind to forget about the incident, acting as if she had seen nothing. At that moment, aside from taking over Thorne Constructions and Energies, everything else was irrelevant to her.

If Tiffany were to pull any more stunts in the future, she would just roll with the punches.

By afternoon, Josiah glanced at his wristwatch and said, “It's about time. I'll introduce you to a few people. We can also grab dinner while we're out. No matter how good the chef here is, it can get tireseating the sfood all the time." Lysander wasn't in the mood. Without even lifting her head, she said, "You go ahead. I'll just head to the private restaurant for dinner later." Wanting to keep Lysander in suspense, Josiah asked, "Don't you want to know who I'm taking you to meet?" Without any hesitation, Lysander said, "No." If it were truly a person of such importance that they must meet, Josiah would have said so himself. There was no need for her to ask further unnecessarily.

Lysander had no interest whatsoever in playing along with Josiah's schemes.

The Ragdoll kitten had comfortably nestled in her arms, even gracing her with a few meows in acknowledgment. Josiah noticed that the pet he gifted Lysander to cheer her up had surpassed his own status. However, he was at a loss for what to do and could only play it by ear. He continued with the main topic by saying, "It's several key members of Thorne Constructions and Energies. No amount of personnel files can replace meeting them in person." Lysander calmly finished jotting down the last few notes before she stood up and said, "I'll go change my clothes first." Josiah then picked up the Ragdoll kitten and watched Lysander return to her bedroom. After that, he fetched the cat carrier and packed it with a few essential pet supplies. By the the had finished these preparations, she had also changed her clothes and emerged from the room.

Josiah initially thought she would wear the clothes he had gifted her. Seeing her dressed in the simple outfit she had brought herself, he couldn't help but feel a touch of disappointment.

Lysander lifted her carry-on, bag and asked, "Why are you looking at me?" She approached the mirror and took a look, not noticing anything was amiss.

1/4 82.82.

Chapter 561 Provide Support And Protection Finished Lysander was about to assthe position of CEO at Thorne Constructions and Energies. Apart from Howard and Josiah, who had once held this position, everyone else was her subordinate. There was no need for her to dress up deliberately to meet her subordinates. She thought being appropriately comfortable was sufficient. Otherwise, these opportunistic people might takeas a leader who has nothing.

"Nothing." Josiah was holding a cat carrier, trying to get the Ragdoll kitten to stay inside. However, the cat clearly misunderstood his intentions. It clung to his hand, flopped down, and immediately started to act spoiled.

Upon seeing the situation, Lysander picked up the Ragdoll kitten to lend a hand, asking, "Do you plan on bringing the cat along?" Josiah didn't see any issue with it. "It's still too little. We can't just leave it here on its own." Raising such a large kitten was no simpler than raising a child.

Lysander saw that the Ragdoll kitten was even smaller than a toy. Naturally, she was worried. But considering the situation later, she suggested, "I know a pet shop that also acts as a pet hotel. We can pick it up after we're done meeting people." Previously, her visits to the pet shop were solely for the sake of White Coat.

Josiah's thoughts drifted to White Coat, and he decisively rejected the suggestion by saying, "There's no need for all that fuss. We're just having a casual dinner tonight. I'm merely introducing you guys. Cats aren't like dogs. They don't whine at the sight of food. Bringing it along won't cause any trouble." Lysander felt that his words conveyed an underlying message as if he were indirectly insulting the dog's owner through the dog.

The meeting turned out to be quite different from what Lysander had envisioned.

The setting was a restaurant at the foot of the mountain. Upon entering, they were immediately led to the best private room. It was a treatment reserved for regular patrons.

As soon as the waiter opened the private room's door, the four individuals seated at the dining table stood up to greet Josiah.

It seemed that this time, Josiah was genuinely determined to provide support and protection.

One of them with glasses warmly engaged with Josiah, saying, "It's been a while, Mr. Guerra. Everything's been going well for you, I hope? After you stepped down, only a few of us were left in the company, staring at each other. Times have been tough." With a casual smile, Josiah responded, “I've brought the person who's going to take over. It's a good chance. for everyone to get acquainted." He took the initiative to look at Lysander. After that, with an incredibly natural demeanor, he pulled out a chair for her. Only after she had taken her seat did he sit down beside her and say, "All right, we're all friends here. Let's sit down and talk." 2/4 Chapter 561 Provide Support And Protection.

The remaining four people then returned to their seats, seemingly unfazed by her arrival.

Finished Lysander placed her cat bag on the empty chair behind her, nodded to each of them, and introduced herself in a calm voice, "Nice to meet you. I'm Lysander Thorne." The guests were quite polite toward her, taking turns to introduce their names and positions within the company. Lysander calmly etched it into her heart.

Josiah waited until they had finished their exchange before stepping in to play his role as the middleman. Although his conversation was primarily with Lysander, everyone else was also listening attentively.

"The people I've placed in the four most crucial departments of Thorne Constructions and Energies are all here. Back when I was managing the related businesses, they were in charge of the groundwork. If there was ever a slightest ripple within the company, they would promptly report to me. You can trust them without a doubt. Thorne Constructions and Energies is not a small-toperation. Its staff structure is more complex than it appears on the surface. Once you begin to officially take over management, you essentially beca general on the chessboard. You can't get by without having your own soldiers. underneath you." Josiah said.

The business world was a battlefield. Even though he was relaying the situation to Lysander in the most composed tone, he still managed to convey a sense of solemn severity.

Luckily, Lysander was someone who had experienced the grand events, so she wasn't intimidated by this at all. When Josiah was speaking, she was also able to quietly observe the reactions of these four. individuals.

They held high regard for Josiah, and from what she could see at that moment, they shared common. interests with her. In other words, these four individuals seemed reliable.

Lysander courteously said, "I'm a rookie in this industry, and there are things I inevitably have to start from scratch. I'm afraid I might need to rely on everyone's help for a while." Josiah didn't respond, but as she spoke, he watched her intently with a look of concern from start to finish.

This was the first the had so openly shown his preference for a woman in public. Even the one rumored to be his first crush had never received such treatment At that moment, those four could tell that the woman before them was the person Josiah truly cared about.

The four individuals who had been sought out by Josiah to pave the way for Lysander were all extremely m shrewd They had accurately discerned his attitude toward Lysander. Without any need for him to drop hints or beat around the bush, they had immediately begun to demonstrate their loyalty to her. "Ms. Thorne, don't worry. We're all working for the company. We'll surely help you." "Exactly. Feel free to instruct us whenever you need our assistance." "Everyone starts off as a rookie when they first enter a profession. You're being too modest." "We're paid generously, so if our work was too easy, we'd feel bad about taking the money." They showered Lysander with compliments, each wearing a t smile that exuded such a 3/4 Chapter 561 Provide Support And Protection festive atmosphere that it was impossible to find fault.

Lysander wasn't quite accustFinished to the typical business jargon, responding only with a faint smile.

Josiah noticed they already understood his intention of bringing Lysander with him that him that day Feeling slightly satisfied, he said to her, "I Π can't always keep a close eye on Thorne Constructions and Energies. If you're unsure about something or need help, feel free to look for them." Lysander knew he was seizing the opportunity to establish her authority so that no one would underestimate her.

She nodded without showing any emotion. "All right."

The bespectacled individual then smoothly chimed in, "Rest assured, Mr. Guerra, we will certainly support Mrs. Guerra and ensure she doesn't get taken advantage of." Send Gifts 1.3K 07:45 Wed, 19 Jun The Charming Ex-Wife X
