His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 426 Let Us Talk About Us Ever since their engagement, Susan had been distant toward Lysanne, her demeanor cold. It was only due to Howard's presence today that she held back her words, careful not to say anything too harsh.

Lysamie sought help from her father. "Dad, I don't want to leave...

But this time, Howard was resolute. "You were abroad for many years, so your connections and friends are all there. I need to take care of your mother and can't look after you anymore. I think it's better for you to stay overseas." Lysanne immediately grew infuriated, pointing at Lysander. "You're doing all this for her, aren't you? You're afraid she'll be unhappy and refuse to acknowledge you guys, so you don't wantto annoy her by being around. That's why you're chasingfar away-Ahh!" Suddenly, a sharp, intense pain radiated from her wound.

Tears streaming down her face, Lysanne cried out, "What are you doing? It hurts so much!" With an emotionless expression, Lysander was pouring disinfectant onto her wound. "It's for disinfection. Bear with it for a moment." "How much longer?" "I'll stop when you stop talking Lysanne pursed her lips but then said defiantly, "Neither of us ended up with Josiah in the end, so I don't consider it a loss to you." "Excuse me! You were dumped, while Lysander chose to leave. There's a fundamental difference, okay?" Daphne said mockingly, her arms crossed.

"Really? Then can she also willingly give up on the Thorne family's wealth?" Howard angrily rebuked, "Lyss!" "Dad, if she's truly virtuous, she shouldn't be playing both sides! On one hand, she doesn't want to acknowledge you, yet on the other, she wants the Thorne family's wealth. She claims she won't reconcile with Josiah, but she's still entangled with him. Why does she get all the benefits and bask in all the glory? You wantto go abroad so I won't cause trouble for your biological daughter, fine. But remember, I was legally adopted and brought hby you. According to the law, an adopted daughter has the sinheritance rights as a biological one! I'm entitled to half of the Thorne family's wealth and the company's shares!" Howard felt a deep sense of disappointment well within him. "We raised you and spoiled you like at princess. You can have a share of our wealth, but only after we're gone. Are you implying that your mother and I should just die now?" "There's no need to split it now. You could draft a will first, agreeing to divide the Thorne family's assets equally between Dr. Thorne and myself. Once both of you pass on in the distant future, Dr. Thorne and I can handle the rest ourselves." "How do you plan to handle it?" *If it can! 1/4 Chapter 426 Let Us Talk About Us Howard's face was etched with disappointment. "Fine, a will, is it? I'll write it for you right now!" Lysanne said. "The Thorne family's assets are now jointly owned by you and Mom, so it requires both of your signatures to be valid. Can Mom write now?" "If she can't write, then I'll just hold her hand and write for her! Would that be acceptable?" Howard, so furious his blood was boiling, asked, "Susan, do you have any paper and pen here?" Secing the situation escalating. Susan had no choice but to play the peacemaker. "Don't be rash. You and Molly are still young, so it's not auspicious to be drafting wills now. Eleanor, did you leave sfood aside. for Molly?" "I did." "Pack it up and let Howard take it to the hospital for Molly later," Susan instructed.

"Yes, Madam." Susan asked again. "Lysander, how does this wound look to you?" By then, Lysander had already disinfected the wound and was now bandaging it with gauze. "It's a bit deep, but the bleeding has stopped. Just to be on the safe side, she should still go to the hospital for a check-up.

"All right. I'll call the driver and have him take Lyss to the hospital." Susan quickly arranged for a driver, and after ending the call, she said, "The driver is waiting downstairs. Lyss. I've already arranged everything with him. He will wait for you at the hospital entrance, and once your wounds are treated, he'll take you straight home." Lysanne asked, "Dad, are you coming back to the hospital with me?" "No." Howard's expression was stony, "I have other matters to attend to," "What about Mom?" "Now you remember to care about your mother? Were you there when she had her surgery? Where were you when she needed someone by her side these past days?" Lysanne didn't respond.

"That's enough, Howard said, "You've all grown up, and you have your own though W. From now on, we'll each go our separate ways. Whether you decide to go abroad or not, it's up to you. Susan, make sure to rest well. Lysa and I will be leaving now." Susan nodded, a disappointed look on her face. "All right, just senda message when you get to the hospital." "Okay.

Daphne said, "Madam Susan, Iruly appreciate your help this time." "It was no trouble at all. I heard about the situation your family is in, but you saw Josiah's attitude today. I'll- try to mediate and see if I can do something about it. The bank will also give you stto gather the funds for your loan, so don't worry. Wait for my news." 22:56 Mon, 3 Chapter 426 Let Us Talk About Un- Daphine was overcwith gratitude. She deeply bowed to Susan. “I really can't thank you enough, Madam Susan." Susan let out a sigh and said, “You're Lysander's best friend, and you've helped her a lot in the past. Consider this as our Guerra family's way of repaying her." After leaving the Guerra family's old house and throughout his journey out of the neighborhood, Howard remained silent, weighed down by heavy thoughts.

Daphne was a straightforward woman with an impatient temperament. "Mr. Thorne, there are speople and things in life that just aren't worth it. When it's tto let go, you should let go. Indecision can end up hurting the people you care about the most.” Howard glanced at Lysander, his eyes filled with guilt. "You're right. We were trying to be fair to everyone, not wanting to fav one over the other. That's why Lysa had to endure so much. When her mother was hospitalized, she even had to abandon her career in Stounia and rush back hto be by her side. I was indeed too indecisive." Upon hearing these words, Daphne felt a pang of sympathy. "It's not that serious. Just make it up to Lysander in the future." At that. Howard halted Lysander. "Lysa, what's your take on the matter of dividing the assets?" Lysander shook her head. "The wealth is yours. It's up to you two to decide." "I was mulling over this issue all the way here. I raised Lyss and know her character well. If we don't give her anything. I fear she might continue to bother you in the future. My thought is that we could give her a sum of money, a trade-off for peace in the future. What do you think?" Lysander said, "I have no objections." "Also, regarding the company shares and other movable assets, I'll consult a lawyer to draft a contract and transfer everything to your nfirst. All these are the fruits of your mother and my lifetof hard work, and they will be yours in the future. There's no need to divide them. As for Lyss, your mother and I have never treated her unfairly over the years. Giving her smoney would just be us extending our kindness to the utmost.

Lysander's eyes flickered.

Howard thought she was disagreeing and quickly said, "We can negotiate the number." "Let's talk about it later." As they were talking, a gold Panamera slowly pulled up at the entrance of the residential area.

The car door swung open before a person stepped out.

Josiah took the keys from the chauffeur, nodding at Howard. "Mr. Thorne, are you planning to go hor to the hospital?" "Oh, you've returned, Josiah. Has Tiff been safely delivered to her home?" "Yes. Her father is quite strict with her. She has to be hbefore nine in the evening."

"Haha, I see. Lysander and I were planning to head ck to the hospital. We've been out for a few hours. 3/4 22:56 Mon, 3 Jun Chapter 420 Let Us Talk About Us now, and I'm feeling uneasy." Josiah gave a slight nod. “Then I'll arrange for a driver to take you guys over." "Please do. Sorry for the trouble." "It's nothing." "Josiah," Lysander called out to stop him.

Josiah lifted his gaze. "Is there something you need, Dr. Thorne?" "Do you have sfree tnow?" 35%

Josiah straightened up, slowly saying. "If it's about the smatter you mentioned at the billiard lounge last time, then I'm afraid 1 don't have time." "It's not about that matter." "What else do you want to talk about?" "It's about us." Josiah raised an eyebrow. "What do you me
