His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 723 Will From Three Years Ago In the midst of the raging fire that nearly consumed them both, Josiah chattered incessantly to Lysander, revealing many things. Among them were the passcode to his safe and the documents he had entrusted to the legal department for safekeeping.

Beforehand, Lysander made a trip to the bank. After verifying the documents, she collected a stack of paperwork from the manager.

"Ms. Thorne, this is the share transfer document personally amended by Mr. Josiah Guerra. All you need to do is sign it, and the shares mentioned in the agreement will be all yours." It was as clear as day, written in black and white-Josiah had given her half of Guerra Group's shares. Holding the document, Lysander was at a loss for a moment, unsure of how to react to this situation.

He truly had a lot of trust in her.

Even though they were once married, their joint assets only included the company's earnings over those three years, not the shares.

When did he make this decision? Upon noticing that Lysander showed no intention of signing immediately, the manager assumed she was overly emotional. He expressed his understanding. "This is a significant matter. You can take your tto consider. If you need it to be notarized, I can assist-" "No need." Lysander gently pushed the documents back. "Could you please continue to keep these for a while longer?" The situation hadn't yet spiraled to the point where the only solution was a change in Guerra Group's leadership. She decided to keep this document as her trump card, not revealing it unless absolutely necessary.

Aside from her and Josiah, no one else in Guerra Group knew about this matter. She needed to keep this secret safeguarded.

These things were not at all what she desired.

After leaving the bank, Lysander directly hailed a taxi to Guerra Group.

The employees in the lobby bustled about as usual. At first glance, it seemed no different from any other day. However, upon closer inspection, one could notice that everyone was stealing glances at their phones, even in the brief moments while printing documents.

A significant event had occurred within the company, a matter of such importance that it could not be missed. Yet, it wasn't something that could be discussed openly.

Lately, the reception desk had been seeing Lysander cand go. Before she could approach, they had already rushed to update her. "Mrs. Guerra, Ms. Collins has already had the top floor sealed off. Please follow me." The only way to reach his office area now was by taking the private elevator exclusively used by the CEO.

Josiah had never been one for special treatment at the company. Had this private elevator not been part of the building since its inception, he would have undoubtedly decommissioned it long ago. Little did he know, this particular elevator would one day play such a significant role.

Holding the elevator access card, Lysander didn't rush straight to the top floor. Instead, she took a detour to the legal department first, bringing along Peter.

Peter wasn't particularly striking, nor did he hold the highest position in the legal department. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Josiah's trusted confidant.

He noticed that speople were causing trouble when Josiah was not around. He didn't mind lending a hand, but Carol treated everyone equally, keeping those with uncertain intentions at bay.

With Lysander's endorsement and guidance now, he was finally able to reach the top floor.

The two of them went straight to Josiah's suite.

Carol had been waiting for Lysander for quite stime. When she saw that Lysander had brought an extra person with her, she didn't show any surprise. "Mr. Hudson, I didn't expect that we would need your help so soon," she said.

It was clear that the two of them were quite familiar with each other.

Lysander had once witnessed Josiah's way of handling matters in Thorne Constructions and Energies, and for a time, she was quite puzzled. She couldn't understand how, during his temporary stewardship of Thorne Constructions and Energies, he managed to have the company's high-ranking executives look up to him. Despite the fact that these individuals were his elders, they had also been closely associated with Howard in the past.

Now she finally understood. His operations weren't just on the surface. They were mostly in places most people couldn't see.

Actually, Josiah had mentioned to her before that managing a company wasn't just about handling a pile of data, but about how to utilize people.

Indeed, Josiah had his unique way of handling matters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep the members of the board, each with their own motives, in check.

"Oh, it's what I'm supposed to do," Peter stated. He then proceeded to unzip the briefcase he always carried around. It was filled with numerous documents, yet only a few held any significance.

"Mrs. Guerra, Mr. Guerra has mentioned if there ever comes a day when you seekout, I am to give you his final will." He was aware that Josiah and Lysander had already divorced, but as a confidant trusted by Josiah, he also knew Lysander's standing in Josiah's heart.

Regardless of whether they could eventually reunite, Lysander was the only Mrs. Guerra in Josiah's heart.

Upon hearing the term "will", an inexplicable shudder ran through Lysander's heart. "When did he give this to you?" Initially, she thought it was something that could stabilize the current situation, but unexpectedly...

"Three years ago," Peter replied.

Three years ago... Was that when we had just gotten married? "Why did he suddenly write this?" Peter shook his head. "I'm not entirely sure of the specifics, but when Mr. Guerra entrusted this to me, he mentioned something. If he were around, then I am to keep this document safe. However, if something were to happen to him one day, I am to act according to the instructions in this will." "He knew all along that he's going to get into trouble?" "Probably not. It's just better to be safe than sorry." Carol added, "Mrs. Guerra, three years ago, Mr. Guerra handled a merger case, and his approach... was rather aggressive." Lysander got the gist of the situation.

However, she naturally had no intention of letting others know about the existence of the will. But if her guess was correct, given Josiah's meticulous nature, he would certainly have arranged everything for the tafter his death.

As Peter began to succinctly relay the contents of the will to her, her suspicions were confirmed.

"All assets under Mr. Guerra's nwere evenly split between his wife and his mother. The residential m properties were transferred to your name. In addition, a foundation was set up in your name, primarily providing medical and educational support to underdeveloped and remote areas..." Josiah was consumed with a deep desire to meticulously plan out every aspect of Lysander's future life.

After Peter finished reading, he handed her two letters. One of them was sealed with wax, on which was written a personal note from Josiah to Lysander. As for the other letter, it could be opened directly; it was a letter of appointment, assigning Lysander to temporarily take over Josiah's position. Lysander read the second letter again and again and finally let out a sigh of resignation.

Josiah indeed knew her well. He was aware that, even if he were to pass away, she wouldn't let Guerra Group fall into chaos, out of respect for Susan. This understanding had led him to make such a decision.

"He really did trust me, didn't he? He wasn't even afraid that I might still be harboring resentment@yerpast matters. He's not afraid that I'll m casually appoint someone, risking the potential ruin of his years of hard work." It was precisely because Lysander had never harbored such intentions that she could discuss the matter with such nonchalance.

Upon hearing her words, which were spoken in a somewhat jesting manner, Carol also breathed a sigh of relief. "Mrs. Guerra, those people are still outside. We should now-" Before she even finished, a sound of pounding on the door cfrom outside. It was the project manager, who had finally reached the end of his patience.
