Chapter 265 What Does He Want
The title of this movie was “The Fright.”
Josiah had intentionally chosen a seat in the far back corner, perfect for observing the rest of the
theater.
However, the downside was that from such a high vantage point, anyone turning around could easily see them.
Josiah was like a wall, squeezing Lysander into the edge, pinning him between him and the wall.
On the screen, an exploration team entered an abandoned, supposedly haunted hospital. The eerie, dark scenes and haunting music made Lysander extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, everything went dark.
Lysander could smell the lingering citrus scent on Josiah.
“What are you doing?”
Before Josiah could answer, they heard several girls in front screaming in fright.
Some children even cried out loud.
A few seconds later, Josiah let go. “That scene
s a bit scary”
Lysander glanced at him, only to see him sitting extremely comfortably with his legs crossed. He held a large bucket of popcorn, watching with great interest.
“Josiah, you dragged me out in the middle of the day just to watch a movie?”
Josiah finally looked over, offering the popcorn. “Want some?”
Annoyed, Lysander refused. “No, I don’t.”
“Go on, they say it won’t make you fat.”
Lysander’s face showed clear displeasure. Josiah chuckled softly, placing the popcorn on the empty seat beside him. He lowered his voice. “You still don’t understand what Zachary is up L
lo.”
Lysander said, “Originally, Harry and Lora were making good progress. But with his sudden appearance, Harry grew suspicious. This is nothing more than him flexing his influence over you. He has the ability to sway Harry and potentially derail our plans.”
“Exactly,” Josiah said. “And then?”
“If we want Priscilla and Harry to divorce smoothly and protect their assets, we need to negotiate with him. Offer him what he wants in exchange, and he will stop interfering, allowing our plan to proceed smoothly.”
fosial nodded slightly. “Have you considered what Zachary really wants? A man who calculates
1/2
everything to this extent. What could his goal be?”
This question genuinely stumped her.
Zachary was working at the architectural design company, and Maxim seemed to support him significantly. Important projects, such as those collaborating with Guerra Group, were handed to him.
His prospects were quite good.
Moving to a major company would be advantageous if he were to make a name for himself with- projects involving Guerra Group.
What exactly does he want?
“I asked him about his thoughts on getting rich overnight, but he didn’t seem very interested.”
Josiah chuckled as if everything was within his grasp. I’ve seen people like Zachary before. Like you, throwing money at him won’t work. He’s not a short-sighted nouveau riche.”
“Then what does he want?”
“He wants to make a name for himself, to prove his capabilities are far superior to those rich second- generation heirs. He wants those who looked down on him due to his background to grovel before him.”
Lysander still didn’t quite understand. “He’s always been a top student and has a decent job. No one looks down on him.”
“Lysander, you don’t get it. In state-owned enterprises, the seniority-based system can crush one ambition.”
Lysander shook his head. “So what do we do now? Call him and arrange a meeting to come clean?’
“No rush. Whoever calls first is in a passive position. Let’s wait for him to come to us.”
Lysander looked carefully at the front row of the cinema again.
Harry hadn’t come in earlier, so he wasn’t there.
Is Zachary here?
“He is also not here.”
“So what are we doing now?”
