The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 155: ????? Joshua quickly began investigating Gina's background. He discovered that the funds for Harley's operation had cfrom an anonymous benefactor.

However, he was unable to find any relevant information. This result was different from what he had expected and left him frustrated.

Noting his seriousness, Lilliana coldly commented, "It seems you becespecially 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 felt.

"With everything going on right now, how could I possibly focus on anything else? I just want to get through this difficult twith you." Lilliana looked at him, disappointment evident in her eyes.

"You only appreciate my worth when you're in trouble," he sneered. "Didn't you consider the consequences when you were sneaking around with Alicia behind my back?" When Lilliana discovered 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 held her, Joshua said reassuringly, "Alicia jumped on me. When I didn't respond, she turned to Caden. You know that, right?" Lilliana pushed his hand away forcefully. "Do you think I'm a child?" How could Alice stay at the Yates mansion for so long without Joshua's permission? Lilliana had always recognized the complexity of Joshua's character.

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

"From now on, we must sleep in separate rooms," he announced. "You can be with whoever you want. "I won't mind." Hearing this, Joshua felt a flash of hope.

He hugged her tightly. "You're pregnant. How can I let you sleep alone? I'd be so worried. Honey, I love you, and only you." Lilliana remained impassive at his words.

"Joshua, if you really love me, prove it to me. Do you understand?" Joshua tried to reassure her.

"Once the crisis at my company is resolved, I will spend every moment with you, I promise." "SW?" Lilliana looked at him coldly. "Don't you know what frustratesthe most?" Joshua paused, contemplating his question.

I knew the answer all too well.

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

"Tell me, what do you think should happen to Alice?" Lilliana's expression began to soften.

She stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words in his ear.

His pupils dilated slightly and he responded with a smile.

"It's a simple solution. When I succeed, I'll leave it in your hands." Imagining that scenario, Lilliana felt a surge of triumph, which instantly lifted her spirits.

She said, "When I feel better, I will ask my father for money. If you want to solve your problems quickly, you better keephappy. Understand?" Joshua scoffed inwardly.

What right did she have to threaten him? He remained silent, preferring to focus his gaze on the lower abdomen.

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

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

Joshua subtly added medication to Lilliana's regular supplements and before long, his plan took effect. She ended up hospitalized with a threatened miscarriage.

The Green family was plunged into chaos.

Everyone was quick to express their concern.

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

Cedric's anxiety was evident on his face.

I have pulled Joshua aside to speak privately.

Before Cedric could speak, Joshua quickly took the blame.

"Cedric, this is all my fault. "Lilliana has been running around because of me, and her worrying almost causedto have a miscarriage." Cedric furrowed his eyebrows in response.

Unable to contain his anger, Cedric reprimanded Joshua harshly.

Joshua accepted the reprimand without complaint. "Cedric, if it helps, you can hitto relieve your frustration."

Cedric wanted nothing more than to hit Joshua, but he recognized then love deep love Lilliana felt for him and knew that such an action would only cause her 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 figure it out on my own. I don't want your money," he replied.

Cedric scoffed, "Stop joking. Tellwhat you need." Joshua replied, "If you could givea billion dollars, that would be perfect." Cedric's expression changed.

In the past, he would have had no problem providing that amount of money, but lately, Caden had put him in a bind.

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

"I can offer you a maximum of 100 million dollars," he said 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 raised $100 million.

But the journey was long and he was in no hurry. He said respectfully, "Thank you, Cedric." Now that he had secured sfunding from the Green family, it was tfor the Yates family to step up.

Hearing the full story, Jerald reacted tically. 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 angrily. "You better give him his money back right now or you'll regret it!"
