The Charming Ex-Wife by Gwendolyn

Chapter 698 Digging Deep To Uncover The Truth 

He skillfully sidestepped the weightier issues, not uttering a single word about the poisoning and the harm done. As for the unidentified body that had yet to be identified, it was brushed off as easily as a stone thrown into the water. 

Tiffany’s mood shifted faster than flipping throug book, her eyes reddening in the blink of an eye. She stood up, timidly pleading on his behalf. She was so fragile that it seemed like a gust of wind could knock her over. 

“Jose, I admit that my father is indeed in the wrong this time. However, he’s only trying to push the project forward and expand the company’s business. Even though I don’t fully understand the ins and outs of business, I can clearly see how anxious he is. He is so dedicated to finding a perfect location for the villa development that he didn’t even return home.” 

Josiah barely lifted his eyes, showing no intention of looking at her directly. Most of his attention was focused on the baby cradled in his arms. The child felt very close to him, even daring to play with his buttons. 

THE 

This softened his tone somewhat. So, the good place you found turns out to be someone else’s home? I’ve already sent the water sample for testing. You should be well aware of the implications of poisoning, Mr. Lanister” 

Such a lukewarm attitude was the most dangerous. 

Just as Dillon was about to panic. Tiffany subtly tugged at his sleeve. At first glance, it was like a frightened little girl seeking comfort from her father. However, he took it as a cue and quickly regained his composure. 

On the way to Guerra Group, Tiffany had already discussed with him the potential scenarios they might encounter, even going as far as preparing countermeasures. 

This seemingly delicate and harmless daughter of his was actually the true backbone of Riveron Corporation in recent years. 

With a heavy heart. Dillon managed to feign a look of regret as he apologized to Jogah Mr Guerra understand that no matter what I say now you might not believe me, given what has already transpired I’ve come to terms with it, and I beheve that whoever made the mistake should face the consequences” 

As he spoke he even made a phone call right in front of Josiah. After a brief

Josiah was too languid to ask questions, he simply watched his performance with an unchanging response to his act. 

As expected, Dillon didn’t wait for him to speak. He took the initiative to explain everything he had done earlier. 

Mr. Guerra, after much consideration, if the water quality is indeed. ompromised, it could spell disaster for several nearby villages. It’s a matter of utmost importance that requires thorough investigation. Therefore, I contacted the police officer whose number I had previously saved, and informed him about the project manager I had assigned and the situation at hand.” 

The name that Dillon had just mentioned was the person he had appointed to oversee the villa project. This individual was considered a veteran within Riveron Corporation 

The underlings couldn’t shoulder the blame, but the one in charge was certainly qualified to bear it. 

Upon hearing this, Josiah finally met his gaze, a chill settling in his eyes as he asked. “Mr. Lanister, don’t you think you’re going a bit too far in trying to clear your name?” 

Dillon looked utterly bewildered. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Guerra?” 

Tiffany was afraid that his feigned ignorance would push Josiah too far, so she spoke up in a timely manner. Jose, please don’t be angry. My father is also upset about making this decision. But when you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. If that mister really did condone the poisoning, then he deserves to be in jail 

In just a few words, not only was Dillon completely exonerated, but she had also somewhat defended the person in charge. At this rate, by the end of the investigation, the main culprit could very well turn out to be the thug who sprinkled the poison 

As for the real culprit, they would only have to shell out a small sum before raking 

in a fortune. 

Lysander had initially planned to ignore Tiffany. However, since she was already here hearing her gloss over the issues with such placating words, she couldn’t help 

feel undigree on behalf of the victimized villagers She promptly gave her a piece of het mind 

Ms. Lamster, this pertains to your father’s business affairs. You’re not privy to the abrails, so how can you be so certain in your conclusion?” 

Without any solid evidence at hand, she had no choice but to lightly reprimand Tiffany for now. 

Tiffany had already revealed her true self to Lysander, so she was not flustered at all at this moment. Instead, she pointed the finger at her and said, “Ms. Thorne, in terms of company management, I am indeed not as good as you. I heard that you had temporarily managed Thorne Constructions and Energies before, unlike me. who couldn’t help my dad at all…” 

With an innocent look on her face, she continued to ask, seemingly oblivious to the implications. Ms Thorne, if it’s not too much trouble, could you teach me? Maybe once I’ve learned, it won’t be solely up to my dad to shoulder the burden.” 

Without any hesitation, Lysander rejected the proposal. “You’d better ask Mr. Lanister, it will be quicker” 

After a long wait Tiffany finally heard a phrase she could use to her advantage. With an innocent look on his face, she expressed her thoughts, 

Dad tried to teach me, but I never quite got it. My college major didn’t touch on any of this, and I didn’t have a mentor like you did with Jose. He guided you every step of the way. I heard Mr. Thorne returned to the company, was it because you went to the countryside to help out?” 

These two matters were unrelated, but the way she expressed it, it oddly seemed as if they had become cause and effect 

Lysander let out a soft sigh, cutting straight to the point, she asked, “So?” 

Running the company was never her desire in the first place. She was merely returning to do what she does best at the moment. 

Tiffany took a half step back as if frightened, her voice soft and weak as she explained Ms Thorne, you’ve misunderstood I wasn’t accusing you of anything I has fought that save you ve only recently returned to the Thorne family, there might be some things you’re not used to ver only wanted to remind you Mr and Mes Thorne are well respected figures in their circle They were overjoyed when

She spoke cautiously, stopping just at the right moment, observing the expressions. of Lysander and Josiah as if she was afraid of offending them 

Naturally, Josiah knew that the person Tiffany was about to mention was Lysanne his expression suddenly darkening 

Lysander, however, didn’t seem to mind at all. “If you want to say that I’m not as good as Lysanne you can just say it. After all, in some aspects, truly do feel

This attitude was somewhat beyond Tiffany’s expectations. 

Surprisingly, it was Josiah who reached his limit first, asking. “Who told you these things
