Chapter 498 No One Could Stop Him
Lysander let out a deep sigh. “You may use the money first.”
“So, you’re really going to have a child for him?”
“He’s gone mad, not me,” Lysander said. “So Daphne, you need to pull yourself together, stand tall,make a lot of money. Then we can pay him back, with interest, in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Daphne couldn’t help but laugh. “Forget it,” she said. “I’ve given it a try recently andI’ve realized that I’m simply not cut out for business. Even my dad has given up on me.”
“So, are you really not going to continue with your family business?”
“Of course, why wouldn’t I? It represents my parents‘ lifelong dedication after all,” Daphne said.“Lysander, I think my dad might be right. If I can’t do it myself, then I’ll find someone who can.”novelbin
“I didn’t quite catch that. Are you planning to hire someone?”
“What I’m saying is, I want to get married.”
Astonished, Lysander asked, “Are you also planning to marry into a wealthy second–generationfamily?”
“Ha, these second–generation folks in our circle, they’re either playboys like Aiden, or they’re justaverage, not even as good as me. Trustworthy? None of them are. Oh right, if there’s anyone reliable,it’s Adrian. But his heart isn’t in this, and he’s completely smitten with you.”
When it came to Adrian, it was challenging for Lysander to describe the feelings in her heart at thattime.
Guilt, sadness, or perhaps, regret.
Had she initially met Adrian first, and it was he she had married, perhaps they truly would have been asimple yet loving couple.
It wasn’t exactly love, but at the very least, there was no betrayal.
Love, it was the most luxurious indulgence in the world.
“So, what’s your plan? Going on a blind date?”
“No, I’m planning to find someone who may not come from a good background, but has decentcapabilities and potential.”
Alarm bells rang in Lysander’s heart immediately. “You’ve been at a disadvantage with Harry before,why would you seek out the same situation again? What if he turns out to be like Zachary, then whatwill you…”
“Ah, the last time I fell for Harry, it was due to my youth and genuine feelings. But things are differentnow. I’ve already sealed my heart. As long as I don’t fall in, I won’t get hurt. Besides, I’ve gainedexperience. The company is still under my father’s control. I can offer him a high position, or a highdividend, but I won’t give him a single share.
Lysander felt a pang of uneasiness in her heart. “But such a marriage… are you willing to accept it?”
“My parents had protected me for over twenty years It’s time I make my own sacrifices. Honestly, Inever

mistress who’s a university student, or even if he had a bunch of women on the side. When it comesdown to it, ours is a partnership. He manages the company for me, and in return, I offer him a chanceto change
his fate.”
Lysander didn’t know what to say to console her best friend.
She wasn’t even sure if she should offer advice.
After all, in the realm of marriage, she was also a failure.
“Right. I didn’t come up with this arrangement myself. I know of a financial firm in Hofcaster thatoperates this way. The elderly couple has stepped back, and their daughter married a very capableman from a humble background. On the surface, they are a married couple, but privately, they leadseparate lives. The man runs the company quite well, and even brought his university girlfriend into thecompany to be his secretary. They are inseparable. His wife only asked one question, ‘Can she helpyou work better for the company? The man said yes, and not only did his wife agree, she even getsalong well with the female
secretary.”
After hearing everything. Lysander was astounded. “Is that even possible?”
Daphne, however, said, “Haha, I actually find this arrangement quite appealing. As long as he c
can effectively manage the company, I can even take his woman out for shopping and coffee!”
“I still feel like something’s not quite right. Don’t rush, take some more time to think it over.”
“Okay.” Daphne asked her, “What about you? The matter of wanting a child, Josiah is probably notjoking about it. He’s serious. If he truly sets his mind to it, I’m afraid… no one can stop him.”
Lysander tilted her head back to gaze at the valley outside, sighing. “He surely wouldn’t tie me up andconfine me to the bed to have a child, would he?”
After hanging up the phone, Lysander intended to open her suitcase to find some clothes to changeinto. However, upon approaching it, she noticed several additional paper bags next to the suitcase.
Lysander was certain that this was something left behind by Josiah. Despite her confusion, she didn’texercise much caution. She immediately reached out, opened it, and took a look.
She found several sets of clothes neatly packed inside, ranging from outerwear and shoes tounderwear, all complete. They were all from the brands she was accustomed to wearing on a regularbasis.
She reckoned these items were probably prepared by Carol.
However, the brand and size of the lingerie must have been informed to her by Josiah
Lysander slipped into a pale yellow dress and casually gathered her loose, long hair. With her phoneand room key in hand, she then headed downstairs.
She was in a state of emotional turmoil. If she continued to confine herself in her room, she feared shemight fall ill from the suffocation.
The vacation resort was a peaceful retreat, far removed from the city’s hustle and bustle. Despite itsremote location, it lacked nothing in terms of amenities. A short walk through the grand lobbydownstairs led straight to the back gardén.

Lysander had confirmed the direction of the garden on the sign in the lobby. However, as she turned.around, she found herself locking eyes with a woman standing nearby, who was looking at her withgreat interest.
The gaze wasn’t exactly malicious, but it gave Lysander an uncomfortable feeling of being watched.
The woman was strikingly dressed, her attire alluring despite the chill of the mountain air. She wore abold, red dress, daringly cut to reveal her arms and legs, its vibrancy impossible to ignore. Her hair,long and wavy, added to her unforgettable appearance. Anyone who saw her would find it difficult toforget such a sight.
Lysander remembered her as Amelia, the one she had previously encountered at the karaoke lounge.
As Lysander passed by her, she caught a distinct whiff of the woman’s perfume.
“Excuse me, I need to get by.”
Without a second thought, Amelia showed her the way to the garden, a subtle hint of amusement.twinkling in her eyes. As she was about to leave the hall, Amelia simply decided to follow her,”
Lysander noticed Amelia’s subtle actions, but she chose to act oblivious, continuing her walk andadmiring the flowers.
The garden was strewn with cobblestones all around. If one followed the path, passing by the fountain,it would lead one to the greenhouse tucked away in the corner. Inside, one could find a variety of
plants, all cultivated for a greenhouse environment.
Lysander wasn’t particularly interested in flowers, but to figure out Amelia’s intentions, she deliberatelystrolled toward the corner. Then, as Amelia followed her into the greenhouse, she suddenly turnedaround, effectively trapping Amelia inside.
Slightly taken aback, Amelia touched her chest and said, “Ms. Thorne, what are you doing? You gaveme quite a fright…”
“I was about to ask you the same thing.” Lysander’s intense gaze confronted Amelia as she questionedAmelia. “From the moment I appeared in the hotel lobby, you’ve been following me relentlessly, even tothis point. Do you have something to say to me?”
