The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 155

Chapter 155:

Joshua quickly began to investigate Gina's background. He discovered that the funds for Harley's operation had come from an anonymous benefactor.

However, he could not find any relevant information. This result was different from what he had expected and left him frustrated.

Noticing his seriousness, Lilliana coldly commented: You seem to become especially meticulous when Alicia is involved. I didn't know you cared so much about her.

Joshua put down the phone.

For everyone's sake, he knew he had to convince her of his patience and kindness, no matter how exhausted he was.

With everything that's going on right now, how could I focus on anything else. I just want to get through this difficult time with you.

Lilliana looked at him, disappointment evident in her eyes.< /p>

You only appreciate my worth when you have problems, he scoffed. You didn't consider the consequences when you were sneaking around with Alicia behind my back.

When Lilliana discovered that Alicia was staying at the Yates mansion, fury coursed through her veins. Although Joshua managed to calm her down later, the situation continued to gnaw at her.

As he hugged her, Joshua said in a reassuring tone: Alicia jumped on me. When I didn't answer, he turned to Caden. You know that, right.

Lilliana pushed his hand away forcefully. You think I'm a girl.

How could Alicia stay so long at the Yates mansion without Joshua's permission

Lilliana had always recognized the complexity of Joshua's character.

She admired his intelligence and ruthless ambition, but she couldn't accept it when it was directed against her.

From now on, we must sleep in separate rooms, she announced. You can be with whoever you want. I won't mind.

At this, Joshua felt a glimmer of hope.

He hugged her tightly. You are pregnant. How am I going to let you sleep alone? I would be very worried. Honey, I love you, and only you.

Lilliana remained impassive at his words.

Joshua, if you really love me, show me. You understand

Joshua tried to reassure her.

Once the crisis in my company is resolved, I will spend every moment with you, I promise.

And Lilliana will. he looked coldly. You don't know what frustrates me the most.

Joshua paused, contemplating his question.

He knew the answer all too well.

After a moment of struggle, he gently caressed her cheek.

Tell me, what do you think should happen to Alicia.

Lilliana's expression began to soften.

She stood up. tiptoe and whispered a few words to the ear.

His pupils dilated slightly and he responded with a smile.

It's a simple solution. When I succeed, I will leave her in your hands.

Imagining that scenario, Lilliana felt a wave of triumph, which instantly lifted her spirits.

She declared: When it suits me , I will ask my father for money. If you want to solve your problems quickly, you better keep me happy. Understood

Joshua scoffed inwardly.

What right did she have to threaten him?

He remained silent, preferring to focus his gaze on her lower abdomen.

p>

The Green family was very fond of Lilliana, and would no doubt protect the child she was carrying even more.

It seemed that more drastic measures would have to be taken.

Joshua subtly added medication to the Lilliana's usual supplements and, before long, her plan took effect. She ended up hospitalized due to a threatened abortion.

The Green family was plunged into chaos.

Everyone was quick to express their concern.

Lilliana was terrified, crying inconsolably, while Joshua remained by her side, trying to comfort her.

Cedric's anxiety was evident on his face.

He pulled Joshua aside to speak privately.

Cedric, this is all my fault. Lilliana has been running around because of me, and her worry caused her to almost have a miscarriage.

Cedric furrowed his eyebrows in response.

Unable to contain his anger, Cedric reprimanded Joshua harshly.

Joshua accepted the reprimand without question. Cedric, if it helps, you can hit me to relieve your frustration.

Cedric wanted nothing more than to hit Joshua, but he recognized Lilliana's deep love for him and knew that such an action would only cause him anguish.

Given the circumstances, Cedric had no choice but to ask: How much do you need?

A spark of satisfaction flickered in Joshua's eyes. Cedric, I'll find out on my own. I don't want your money, he replied.

Cedric scoffed: Stop joking. Tell me what you need.

Joshua replied: If you could give me a billion dollars, that would be perfect.

Cedric's expression changed.

In the past, no He would have had trouble providing that amount of money, but lately, Caden had put him on the spot.

Forget about a billion dollars; I doubted he even had 300 million.

I can offer you a maximum of 100 million dollars, he stated firmly, making it clear that there would be no negotiation. The rest you will have to manage on your own.

Joshua was speechless.

After all his efforts, he had only gotten 100 million dollars.

But the trip was long and he was in no hurry. He respectfully said: Thank you, Cedric.

Now that he had secured some funds from the Green family, it was time for the Yates family to step forward.

Upon hearing the full story , Jerald reacted dramatically. He quickly picked up the phone to call Caden.

Good for you, Caden! Joshua is your brother! How could you betray him like that. Jerald scolded him angrily. You better give him the money back right now or you'll regret it!.
