His Beloved Ex-Wife (Lysander) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 The Man He Used To Be

Rufus’s frown deepened. “From the ŝutton family?”

“Yeah, Lysander is using his phone now.”

Rufus’ voice deepened a little. “Lysander, could you return to your room? There are some things I’d like to discuss with you.”

Lysander cast a glance at Adrian, who was still in the kitchen cooking scrambled eggs.

He had heard it too, and with a smile, he said, “Go ahead.”

And so, Lysander gave a nod, clutching his phone as she retreated to her own room.

Rufus had always been concerned, and in the end, he asked uneasily, “Is the door properly locked?”

Lysander nodded, swiveling her phone around to show him the tightly shut bedroom door.

Daphne peeked over curiously. “Dad, what’s going on that’s so serious? Adrian isn’t a stranger. We’re pretty close. Why do we need to avoid him?”

Rufus glanced at his daughter, letting out a sigh.

“What’s going on, Dad?”

Rufus looked into the camera, saying, “Lysander, I have a rough idea about you and Josiah. I heard he’s gone to Stounia. Could you possibly go find him and ask him where exactly is Harry?”

Before Lysander could even respond, Daphne jumped in to answer, “It doesn’t matter where he is. Josiah really let him go?”

“What I’m worried about isn’t whether Josiah would let him go. What I’m worried about is that Josial would never do so! You guys don’t understand. Josiah isn’t the person you think he is. He is actually-

Rufus seemed to be on the verge of saying something but then held back.

“Perhaps they were awed by Josiah’s capabilities, deciding to step aside a id let the more competent one take over.”

“Step down and yield to the more competent party? You think it’s that simple? Once power is tasted, how many can be magnanimous enough to willingly let it go? It’s as if the entire older generation of Guerra Group was collectively forced to step back. Based on what?”

Daphne was taken aback. “Dad, do you know something we don’t?”

“I don’t really know anything, but one thing I do know from that period was that Josiah had invited a highly esteemed board member for a fishing trip at sea. Three days later, only Josiah returned.”

After a few moments of silence, Daphne finally spoke. “Dad, are you saying…”

“I’m not implying anything. The news that came out later reported an unexpected tsunami at sea during those few days. It swept away a considerable number of fishing boats. Josiah’s yacht was also near the tsunami, presumably carried away by the wayes. As for that particular director, he was never found.”

Daphne commented, “That doesn’t add up. They both went fishing at sea together, so even if they encountered a tsunami, why was Josiah able to return alone? Moreover, tsunamis are unpredictable. No matter how capable Josiah is, he couldn’t have foreseen a tsunami, could he?”
