What he did was even more ruthless than anticipated. He completely eliminated the problem. 

Upon seeing his unwavering demeanor, others dared not question him even if they harbored doubts. 

That afternoon, word spread within the industry about Dillon being taken away by the police. 

Those who had previously been worried about Josiah acting impulsively all breathed a sigh of relief and began to praise his decisive actions. 

“True to his reputation, Mr. Guerra is always well–informed. Had he not severed the partnership and issued a statement that morning, anyone associated with Riveron Corporation would have been in deep trouble when the news of Dillon’s alleged involvement in a poisoning murder spread.” 

“Mr. Guerra didn’t air everything out during the meeting. He really did the Lanister family a favor there…” 

Olivia navigated through the bustling office area before knocking on the door of Josiah’s office. After receiving permission, she reported, “Mr. Guerra, Tiffany has arrived and is currently waiting at the reception desk. She insists on seeing you. before she leaves.” 

As Dillon was taken from his home by the police, the likelihood of him getting off scot–free was practically nonexistent. 

To outsiders, Riveron Corporation seemed to be on the brink of disaster after losing its backbone. Consequently, Tiffany’s status as the heiress of the Lanister family was naturally devalued. She maintained her public image and simply decided to wait for Josiah in the lobby of Guerra Group. 

This place was a hive of activity, with each passerby able to catch a glimpse of her. Among them, there were those who couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for her frail and pitiful appearance. 

After listening to Olivia’s recount, Josiah said seriously, “I underestimated her in the past. She’s willing to stake her own dignity as a bargaining chip. If she truly devotes herself to challenging me, I might be in for a headache.”

The situation was a bit complicated, but not particularly challenging.

Olivia asked, “Mr. Guerra, do you wish to see her, then? I’ve already inquired about her intentions. She said she panicked and was unsure of how to save Dillon, which is why she thought of seeking your assistance.” 

Josiah’s brow twitched slightly, as he caught onto the crux of the matter in these 

words. 

He felt that if he wanted to help her out, he had to make some preparations. Perhaps the opportunity to uncover evidence was just within reach. He had a vague feeling that things were going too smoothly. But in order to put Lysander at ease as soon as possible, he still said in a deep voice, “I’ll give a heads up and then accompany her to the police station.” 

Olivia couldn’t help but smile. “Mr. Guerra, you’re becoming more and more like a married man. Whenever you go out with another woman, you always make sure to call Mrs. Guerra first.” 

Josiah was quite pleased to hear this. “This is exactly how it should be between her and me. 

The call connected swiftly. 

Josiah let out a soft sigh, explaining the current situation. “In any case, there’s a good chance I’ll find the evidence I need on this trip to the police station, so I probably won’t be able to come back for dinner. Could you let Mom know?” 

The way he spoke was as if a husband who came home late was complaining to his wife about working overtime. 

“All right, I’ll let Madam Susan know,” Lysander responded without much thought. “Actually, I was planning to visit my mom and Michelle, so I probably won’t be back earlier than you.” 

Without a second thought, Josiah asked, “Are you bringing the baby along?” 

Lysander helplessly said, “Of course. The baby is probably still afraid of strangers and won’t let Eleanor or Madam Susan hold her. I can’t just leave her at home, so I have no choice but to bring her, Nilou, and Rhizone along. We’ll just treat it as a picnic.” 

Josiah painted this scene in his mind and said gently, “All right, once I’ve sorted

out the troubles here, I’ll come to pick you up. It’s about time I paid Mrs. Thorne a visit.” 

“Okay.” 

The two of them chatted a bit more about matters concerning the kids before. finally ending the call. 

Josiah found himself longing to meet with Lysander. When he appeared before Tiffany, he seemed to glow with renewed vitality. 

Seemingly oblivious to his unusual demeanor, Tiffany rushed over to him as soon as she saw him, clutching at his clothes. She began to sob, recounting the day’s 

events. 

“Jose, what should I do… The police took my dad away. They said it was for an investigation. I have no idea how to find a lawyer. Could you possibly help me, at least accompany me to see him?” 

or 

Josiah moved a bit stiffly to put some distance between them, his voice steady as he said, “Stop crying. Don’t you want to meet your dad? Let’s go.” 

Tiffany was crying uncontrollably, clutching onto his sleeve. In front of all the employees in the lobby of Guerra Group, she said, “The police came from the town. They mentioned something about jurisdiction and that they had to take the case back to their side. They must have taken Dad there… 

For the time being, Josiah couldn’t afford to openly quarrel with Tiffany. He reluctantly let her clutch his sleeve. Upon catching sight of the nearby employees out of the corner of his eye, he quietly suggested, “I’ll drive you. We can talk in the 

car.” 

He had boldly ended the collaboration with the Lanister family in the morning. If he was involved with Tiffany in the afternoon, there would likely be rumors. 

Those higher–ups who were not committed in the first place were bound to waver. 

The situation within Guerra Group was different from that of Thorne Constructions and Energies. It was rife with internal factions, which included many old–timers who had worked under his father. When he was present, they would naturally regard him as the leader. However, behind his back, they wouldn’t hesitate to stir up trouble.

Even after the engagement was called off, Dillon audaciously continued to use his identity as Josiah’s father–in–law to deceive others. Undeniably, it had something to do with these people. 

Tiffany’s face was flushed from crying. A cold glint flashed in her downcast eyes when she heard those words. But when she looked at Josiah, she still appeared soft and vulnerable. “Jose, I have no choice but to trouble you now…” 

Josiah was somewhat impatient, his face devoid of expression as he led her outside. 

No sooner had they got into the vehicle and left than the chatter began at the reception desk. 

“Did I see that right? Wasn’t that the young lady of the Lanister family, all teary- eyed just now? I thought Mr. Guerra had severed ties with them. How come they’re in contact again?” 

“Could it be that the two families had a falling out, but the two of them didn’t?” 

“It can’t be. Weren’t the engagement already…” 

A few people were engrossed in their gossip when Olivia appeared in the lobby and suddenly stood next to them. With an impassive expression, she asked, “Is the attendance list for the coordinating team ready?” 

Due to the sudden announcement by Guerra Group to sever their partnership with the Lanister family, the subsequent business had to be handed over to another partner. The list of potential companies willing to take over was already finalized. A reception for them was scheduled to take place at the company within the next few days. 

Startled, the receptionist quickly reassured Olivia, “It’s already been printed.” 

The employee, who was just engaged in a heated conversation, hastily took the document and turned to deliver it. 

Olivia managed to stop the rumor before it spread, yet she couldn’t shake off her unease. She glanced in the direction where Josiah and Tiffany had left together, feeling an inexplicable sense of apprehension. 

Before leaving, Carol had repeatedly cautioned her to be particularly wary of the father–daughter duó from the Lanister family.

With Josiah terminating their collaboration, she reckoned there would be more trouble brewing ahead. 

Driving from Guerra Group to the town’s police station was much closer than going directly to the village, yet it still took at least a couple of hours. 

Having driven back and forth once, Josiah had a pretty good grasp of the route. He didn’t even need to use the GPS when he got into the car. He started the engine and was ready to head toward the freeway. 

Tiffany observed his icy demeanor toward her. Using her tears as a cover, she hurriedly climbed into the passenger seat. 

Josiah paused in his actions, his eyes narrowing slightly.
