Lysanne scoffed. âSheâs just a spoiled little girl, eight years younger than Josiah. Without the Lanister family backing her up, do you really think theyâd have anything in common?â

âGo ahead and play your games. Iâve been busy lately. I donât have time to engage in your schemes. Whether youâre planning to sue or youâve got other tricks up your sleeve, Iâm ready for it.â Lysander would never accept the terms proposed by such a hypocritical person.
Today, Lysanne could cozy up to Lysander just to drive Tiffany away. Tomorrow, she could eliminate her without hesitation for her own gains.
Lysander simply wanted to observe from the sidelines with a detached indifference.
Lysanne saw her unwavering determination and played her trump card in a seemingly submissive manner. âRest assured. My circumstances are different from before. As long as I can get Tiffany to leave Josiah, I wonât vie with you for the title of Mrs. Guerra.â
This was the funniest thing she had said all night.
Lysander couldnât help but laugh, although it was more out of frustration than amusement. She retorted without hesitation, âHave you been bingeâwatching too many palace dramas lately, planning to apply their tactics to real life? Instead of wasting time on such thoughts, why donât you spare some time to get your brain checked? Given our unfortunate connection, Iâd be more than happy to recommend a good neurologist for you.â
Then, she paid no further attention to Lysanne, whose face had turned pale with anger. With a calm and composed demeanor, she bypassed the trees and headed back toward the lounge along the path she had come from.
The corridor up ahead was situated next to the pond. Given that Lysanne had pursued all the way to the restroom, it was likely that Tiffany was done taking photos and had returned.
As for Josiah, he was probably in the private dining room, accompanying her for dinner.
As Lysander pondered, he ended up encountering them in the corridor, just one turn away from the entrance of the hall. There was only one path here; circumventing them was out of the question.
Things really didnât go as planned.
Lysander halted, attempting to blend into the night, but Josiah had already spotted her.
Josiah was already standing in a wellâlit area, towering over Tiffany by more than a headâs length. At that moment, he easily glanced over her head, catching sight of Lysander, who was trying to avoid him. His gaze involuntarily turned cold.
Tiffany was oblivious to all this. She stood with her back to Lysander, acting coy toward Josiah. âJose, could you
hold my bag for me? I need to go to the restroom to touch up my makeup. I accidentally smudged my foundation while taking pictures earlier. Iâll be right back.â
Josiah certainly acted the part of the big brother in front of her, expressing helplessly, âAll right. Iâll wait for you at the door.â
âI knew you were the best!â Tiffany exclaimed, pulling out a compact makeup bag from her purse. She

playful expression on her face. âOh, Lysa, are you here for a meal too?â
âYes,â Lysander replied flatly.

Tiffany exuded an air of carefree joy, typical of girls her age. With enthusiasm, she asked, âWhich private room are you in? How about we join together?â
Perhaps only someone like her, who was utterly ignorant of Lysander and Josiahâs past, would make such a
remark,
Lysander felt compelled to reply. âNo thanks. Iâm with a friend.â
Tiffany did not doubt this as she expressed her regret. âThatâs truly a pity. I was hoping to have a good chat with you. How about we go shopping together next time when youâre free? I know a great boutique. Their hair accessories are particularly good for photos.â
Lysander wasnât in the mood, nor did she want to get involved with anyone from Josiahâs circle again. So, she simply brushed it off with a nonchalant, âMaybe next time.â
Under normal circumstances, this was merely a polite platitude.
Believing it to be true. Tiffany cheerfully went off to touch up her makeup.
Lysander steeled herself and walked a distance away from the direction of the restroom. Standing a few steps away from Josiah, she asked, âAre you serious about Ms. Lanister?â
The bag that Josiah held in his hand had a warm hue. Adorned with adorable trinkets, it gave the same impression as Tiffanyâs.
A girl as innocent and charming as her, who held no defenses against anyone, should not have become a pawn in the disputes of others.
With a displeased expression, Josiah retorted, âHow is this any of your business?â
After hearing Lysanneâs nonsensical talk, Lysander grew more patient with him. âEven I can see what you havenât noticed yet. Ms. Lanister is the cherished jewel of the Lanister family. She was pampered by her family since childhood. She simply doesnât have that many schemes. Sheâs like a sheltered child.â
Josiah tacitly agreed with her words.
Lysander placed more emphasis on her next words. âIf youâre truly planning to be with her, then limit your interactions with Lysanne. I wonât say anything more than necessary.â
Even if she revealed Lysanneâs plans, he might not believe her. She couldnât be bothered to go through the trouble.
Josiah listened with furrowed brows. âOn what grounds are you saying all this to me? Who I choose to be with is my personal affair. Currently, neither of the women has any objections, so what gives you the right
to interfere?â
Subconsciously, he was anticipating an answer.
However, Lysander didnât grant his wish. She sighed lightly and said, âI didnât intend to interfere with your business, I just donât want to see innocent people get hurt. Since they donât mind and you donât care, just consider me as meddling in affairs that arenât my busness.â

She had said all that needed to be said, so the rest was left to fate.
Lysander quickly headed toward the direction of the hallâs entrance. She brushed past Josiah, swiftly moving several steps away from him.

Instinctively, Josiah lifted his hand, finally turning to ask, âLysander, if I were to marry Tiffany, would you attend the wedding?
This development was indeed unfolding a bit too quickly.
Out of courtesy, Lysander turned around and asked, âHave you guys set a date yet?â
Josiah saw an appropriate level of surprise on her face. Beyond that, there was no trace of unnecessary emotion. His heart immediately sank, and he hoarsely said, âIt should be happening soon.â
Just as Lysander was about to respond to him, the phone she carried on her rang. She fook it out and said, âLet me take this callâ
Josiah could only wait with a stern face.
The call came from Adrian, oblivious to the fact that he had timely rescued Lysander from a predicament. His voice was as gentle as always. âWhere are you? Have you had dinner yet?â
âAt the restaurant. Iâm with Daphne. Did you need something?â she asked,
The corridor was eerily quiet. Josiah, who had an exceptionally good sense of hearing, naturally heard Adrianâs words. He stood still in his place, a silent, cold smirk playing on his lips.
Adrian assumed the person by Lysanderâs side was Daphne, expressing his concern, âHow did the situation.
turn out?â
Lysander responded truthfully, âItâs already taken care of.â
Adrian was genuinely happy for them. âThatâs great. Take your time to eat and celebrate properly. If you need anything at home, just let me know. It just so happens that Iâm free tonight and Iâm out shopping at the supermarket. I can pick up whatever you need and bring it over.â
He always claimed he was just passing by, leaving Lysander with no room for selfâdeception. She promptly responded in a nonchalant tone, âThereâs no need. My house lacks nothing. Once youâre done shopping. you should head home. Itâs getting late.â
Adrian, in his goodânatured way, spoke up again. âIâm kind of missing White Coat, you know. If youâre busy, I can just go over and take it for a walk. Otherwise, itâs always cooped up at home and that can get boring.â
He had spent a considerable amount of time helping Lysander take care of White Coat, so it was only natural that he had grown fond of this fluffy creature.
Lysander found it impossible to harden her heart and utter words of rejection anymore.

Adrian sensed a shift in the attitude from the other end of the phone and promptly brought up matter. âBy the way, I remember your homeâs light seemed to be broken, and you probably havenât had the chance to fix it recently, 1 happened to have borrowed some tools, so after I finish walking White Coal, I can swing by and fix the light for you.â

He did have a bit too many incidental matters on his plate.
Just as Lysander was about to refuse, Josiah, who was standing nearby, couldnât help but let out a cold, sarcastic laugh. When she looked over at him, he added with a mocking tone, âIs Dr. Sutton checking in on you? Are you two perhaps expecting some good news soon?â
