Lysander scrutinized Tiffany with utmost seriousness, responding in a chillingly calm manner, “No.”

Tiffany tilted her head, her gaze appearing incredibly clear. Had it not been for Lysander’s previous experience, she might have actually been deceived.

“Lysa, I must admit, I’m having trouble understanding what you’re saying today. But if you don’t feel like going shopping, that’s totally fine. After all, you’re always so busy.” She then asked, “Have you scen

Jose recently? I tried calling him today, but he didn’t pick up.”

Lynn had mentioned that the patient received the report in the afternoon.

Lysander found herself unavoidably linking the two events. She asked meaningfully, “Did you attend the class reunion this afternoon?”

“Yeah,” Tiffany replied with an immaculate smile. “A male classmate’s birthday is coming up. I’m not sure what boys typically like, so I thought of asking Jose to accompany me to buy a gift for my classmate. I’m not sure if he returned to the resort after he left yesterday. By the way, Lysa, why did you suddenly leave that day?”

Lysander replied blandly, “I had some matters to take care of

“Oh.”

“As for Mr. Guerra,” she paused before continuing. “I haven’t seen him. If you’re looking for him, it would be best to reach out to him on your own. There’s no need to ask me.”

Tiffany blinked her large eyes, clearly showing disbelief. But before she could question further, a car with its indicator lights on drove by. After making a turn, it came to a stop right in front of them.

This car looked incredibly familiar.

Lysander fell silent.

This man really has impeccable timing

After parking the car, Josiah walked over from the driver’s side and headed straight toward Lysander. He extended his hand toward her and said, “Let me hold the cat while you get in the car first.”

The Ragdoll kitten was rather affectionate with him, obediently nestling into the crook of his arm.

Due to this, Josiah had one hand free. He smoothly draped it over Lysander’s shoulder, guiding her toward the car.

Without thinking, Lysander recoiled from his touch. However, his broad, warm palm didn’t actually make

steeled herself and opened the car door in front of her, settling into the seat on her own.

Upon seeing her settled in the passenger seat, Josiah immediately, with utmost care, placed the cat back into her arms before finally closing the car door.

His series of actions were executed with such fluidity and grace, as if he had performed them countless times in his life.

Tiffany watched the two with a cool gaze. After holding back for some time, she finally started to follow. them. “Jose, I was just asking Lysa if she had seen you. I didn’t expect you to come over so quickly. When she jokingly said she hadn’t seen you, I almost believed it was true. Jose, is Lysa upset about you being in contact with me?”

Lysander was just sitting in the car, buckling her seatbelt, when she heard the hypocritical words.

Without turning back or halting his steps, Josiah only spoke in a deep voice when he opened the car door, “What do you want from me?”

“Nothing much. It’s just that the birthday of a male classmate of mine is coming soon, and I don’t know what gift to choose.”

“I don’t quite understand the things your age group likes. You’d better ask someone else. I can’t help you.”

“Oh…” Tiffany could feel his indifference and said with a hint of regret, “But I’ve just returned to the country and don’t know anyone else here. Besides you, there’s only my dad. Your dad is much older than you, so I really don’t have anyone else to turn to….

Josiah gave her a cool glance, taking in the crowd behind her. “I thought you had quite a few friends.”

Tiffany hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, “They… they’re all girls. They don’t understand what boys like.”

Josiah pressed his lips together tightly, Tiffany, the notice to cancel our engagement has already been sent out. Don’t look for me in the future.”

The smile on Tiffany’s face faltered for a moment. “Jose, do you think I’m immature?”

“Are you?”

When Tiffany didn’t respond, Josiah went on, “Truly immature people wouldn’t constantly say they are so. This isn’t genuine immaturity but rather a shield used to hide one’s true thoughts.”

Tiffany’s expression fell as she said, “Jose, we were doing just fine before, weren’t we? But after spending a few days with Lysa, your attitude toward me has become so cold. We agreed, didn’t we? On paper, we would be engaged, but in private, we’re still siblings. As siblings, you don’t need to talk to me like this, right? Or did Lysa say something to you…”

“It has nothing to do with her. When I was discussing the collaboration with your father, she was completely in the dark.”

Tiffany clenched her hands tightly, looking both uncomfortable and pitiful. “I see. I must have misunderstood, then. When I called you earlier, you….

She gradually trailed off, waiting for Josiah to notice something was amiss and inquire further.

Her young appearance, akin to a little sister, could also serve as her weapon.

However, Josiah didn’t pay any attention to what Tiffany had said. As if he hadn’t even noticed her, he simply got into his car and drove off with Lysander.

The meal tonight was truly spectacular.

A sense of unease inexplicably welled up within Lysander. She was just about to soothe her nerves by

The sound was startlingly abrupt, hardly something one would expect a kitten to make.

Lysander noticed that the kitten was frightened and immediately held it tighter to soothe it. She saw its blue eyes gazing out the car window and instinctively followed its gaze.

The next moment, she found herself locking eyes with Tiffany, who was still standing in the same spot.

Tiffany hadn’t anticipated that Lysander.

Nonetheless, since it was Lysander, she no longer felt the need to hide her true feelings. The jealousy and resentment in her eyes burst forth unabashedly.

This scene was eerily reminiscent of a horror movie where a possessed doll steps into reality, sending chills down one’s spine.

Instantly. Lysander felt a shiver run down her spine.

She turned around, continuing to gaze at the road ahead.

The kitten in her arms continued to mew restlessly.

Lysander held it as if cradling a child, patiently stroking its fur. Only then did it calm down. Even so, longer showed its previous liveliness, its cries becoming fainter.

Josiah noticed the kitten’s fear and asked with concern, “What’s wrong with it?”

Lysander absentmindedly replied, “No worries. It’s probably just scared because you were driving too fast.”

Words alone weren’t proof. She had no evidence at the moment, so she certainly couldn’t judge Tiffany’s character based on the kitten’s behavior.

As for the words Josiah had previously spoken about trusting her….

Lysander caressed the back of the kitten, erasing this memory from her mind.

Such words were worthless and only meant anything if the one being spoken to remembered them.

She had been burned once, so she wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
