Contrary to her confident appearance, Lysander was at a loss. Seeing that Tiffany wasn’t falling for her tricks, she instantly felt a wave of cold sweat in her palm and was momentarily out of ideas.

The bodyguard was already dragging her toward the warehouse.

Seizing the moment, Lysander asked, “What have you done with the children? The youngest girl is the granddaughter of the Lionhart family. If anything happens to her, the Lionhart family won’t let you go!”

She couldn’t escape, but at least she had to ensure the children’s safety. Otherwise, she wouldn’t rest in peace even in death.

Tiffany had no connection with Nieva and knew nothing about the Lionhart family’s situation. When she heard Lysander mention Aurora, a flicker of cruelty crossed her face.

Had I known the child was so valuable, I would have kept her tightly in hand. What a waste.

Lysander read the answer in Tiffany’s brief moment of regret and asked calmly, “They have been rescued, haven’t they?”

Everyone was smart. There was no need to spell things out.

Tiffany stopped responding to Lysander and walked straight toward the warehouse.

Lysander tried to warn Josiah, but her mouth was stuffed with a towel.

It seemed Tiffany wasn’t planning to throw her into the sea to feed the fish, as the previous leading thug had threatened.

Inside the warehouse, Josiah was already fighting the thugs. Once he confirmed Lysander had escaped, he showed no mercy.

His moves grew increasingly harsh. In no time, two thugs lay motionless on the ground.

Seeing the situation escape. The others

‘e a turn for the worse, the leader abandoned his underlings and made a hasty surprised to see someone as gentlemanly as Josiah fight so fiercely. They fled faster than they had fought.

Josiah had no intention of pursuing them and turned to find Lysander.

Tiffany and her men blocked his way at the warehouse door. Her eyes glinted with malice as she smiled sweetly, like a doll in a horror movie.

“Jose, that punch really hurt,” she complained, pretending nothing had happened.

Josiah felt no guilt. “If I had known you were so relentless, I wouldn’t have held back.”

The situation had been critical, and he had been drugged. His priority had been to escape. If not for that, he wouldn’t have given Tiffany another chance to cling to him.

Chapter 719 I Love Lysander

She stepped aside, signaling the bodyguards to push Lysander forward.

Lysander couldn’t speak. She tried to struggle, but the bodyguards held her down, sending searing pain through her right arm, previously injured in the car accident.

“What do you want?” Josiah’s heart ached as he looked at Lysander and asked Tiffany.

Lysander shook her head gently, trying to indicate she was fine, but the sweat on her forehead betrayed her true condition. Dehydrated after a day and night, she needed medical attention.

Tiffany’s eyes were dark and void of light.

“Jose, do you really love her?” she hissed, no longer hiding her jealousy. “Have you forgotten how much you used to love Lyse? You left her for Lyse!”

These hidden pains were laid bare in front of them by a stranger.

Lysander couldn’t speak, only letting out a low whimper of agony.

Josiah was firm. “The past is the past. It wasn’t meant to be. Now, Lysander is the one I love. Tiffany, let it go.”

He spoke of love with calm certainty.

Lysander hadn’t expected to hear those words in such a situation. Her heart was a tumult of emotions.

Tiffany’s voice turned shrill with hysteria. “You say you love her? I don’t believe it. You can’t even recognize your feelings. How am I not better than her? I am more adorable, I understand you better, and I know how to make you happy.”

Her questions were filled with obsession.

After a day and night of captivity, Josiah saw her true nature. He retorted, “Tiffany, I have a pet dog. It is cuter than you and knows how to make me happier.“.

From the beginning, he never truly intended to marry Tiffany.

Tiffany paused, then la

The warehouse’s dark depths seemed to come alive in that moment.

Lysander felt a chill, a strong premonition of something terrible, a feeling she last experienced just before the car accident.

Josiah gave her a comforting yet sorrowful look, then turned coldly to Tiffany. “Tiffany, don’t make another mistake.”

His men would find them eventually, but he needed to keep Tiffany talking, stalling her actions.

Tiffany seemed to sense something and asked, “Jose, are you planning to call the police on me? That’s too cruel. But it is okay. I have my ways. Not only will I be fine, but my dad will also be home soon.”

Lysander’s tongue was pressed down by the towel. Unable to speak. she whimpered in protest.

Josiah scrutinized Tiffany, looking for signs of bluffing, but eventually conceded. “I underestimated you.”

She might indeed be able to downplay the poisoning and the unidentified bodies in the village.

Tiffany drawled, “There’s still time to change your mind, Jose. I am willing to give you another chance because I truly love you.”

Josiah sneered, “You don’t understand what love is.”

Tiffany’s smile became more innocent as curiosity crept up her features. “That’s what you say. I won’t miss this opportunity. Jose, you said you love Lysander, right? If you faced danger, would you save her?”

“Of course,” Josiah answered without hesitation, his gaze unwavering.

Tiffany nodded thoughtfully. “I almost forgot. You came alone to save her. So I should ask differently. If only one of you could live, what would you do?”

Lysander felt a chill. “Tiffany, what are you planning?”

“Are

scared, Lysander?” Tiffany laughed. “Yes, you are unsure if Jose would choose you in a life–or- death situation.”

Josiah replied matter–of–factly, “I would choose her to live.”
