When Roxanne met Lucian’s gaze, the confidence in her eyes gradually started wavering.

A long moment pa*sed before she dipped her eyes and agreed softly, “Okay, I’ll do it. What do you need me to do?”

During those few seconds when their eyes held, she searched the depths of her heart.

Perhaps she didn’t believe that Colby would do such a thing, but given a choice between him and Lucian, her heart would still be biased toward the man before her.

On top of that, the look in Lucian’s eyes was incredibly resolute.

Following her agreement, Lucian’s expression eased. He told her about his plan in a deep voice.

As Roxanne listened, she nodded thoughtfully.

“Will this really work? We don’t have concrete evidence.”

Truth be told, she was still a touch hesitant after listening to the man’s plan.

Lucian’s expression turned chilly. “As long as he was the one behind it, he would definitely feel guilty in such a situation. Even if not, he’ll be afraid of dying!”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne fell sil

    Colby kept his head bowed, his pupils darting around incessantly. Now that things have come to this, I won’t be able to keep the truth under wraps no matter what I say. Besides, Lucian has already discovered there’s a problem with that bottle of distilled water. Does he have other evidence in hand?As his brain whirred, Lucian’s voice rang out once more. “Did you think you could get away with it by privately asking the purchasing staff to help you sneak the medicine in?”The instant those words fell, Colby snapped his eyes up and gaped at the man in shock.He knows! He really knows everything!Lucian held his gaze expressionlessly. “Are you still planning to deny it at this point? Or are you only going to confess to your crimes when the police have arrived?”Behind him, Roxanne had stepped out at some point in time and regarded Colby blankly.When Colby met her gaze, his lips twitched. An intense struggle transpired within him.A long time pa*sed before he ultimately admitted, “Indee

    Soon, the police arrived. Colby was then escorted into the police car by the police.Before leaving, he glanced back over his shoulder and took a long look at Roxanne.Roxanne merely held his gaze for a second before she promptly averted her eyes.Truth be told, she didn’t quite know how to face the man.At the sight of her avoiding his gaze, Colby gave a bitter chuckle that dripped with self-deprecation. He cooperatively got into the police car.Thereafter, the police car sped away.Cayden also departed after taking his leave from Lucian.Following that, Roxanne and Lucian were the only ones left at the entrance of the research institute.Lucian regarded the woman beside him in concern.“What are you thinking? Are you still unwilling to believe that Colby would do such a thing?”Lifting her eyes, Roxanne met his gaze. She said nothing, but the look in her eyes spoke volumes.Indeed, overturning one’s long-time perception toward someone wasn’t something that could be accomplished ove

    Following Jack’s words, even greater guilt swamped Roxanne. “I’m sorry. I’ve been so busy investigating the incident that day that I forgot to contact you.”Biting the bullet, she apologized to the man.Fortunately, Jack didn’t continue pursuing the matter. He merely looked her up and down with a smile, seemingly to ascertain that she had recovered.“I’ve recovered fully now. Sorry for worrying you these past few days, Mr. Damaris,” Roxanne murmured.“I’m glad to hear that. I went to the hospital to visit you the night you pa*sed out, but Mr. Farwell said I’d disrupt your rest and didn’t allow me in,” Jack commented in what appeared to be an offhanded manner.Hearing that, Roxanne turned to the man beside her.Lucian met her gaze calmly. “I told you about it. It was indeed late at that time. Mr. Damaris must have had the same concerns as me, for he didn’t insist on going in.”That was to say, he had already told Roxanne about the matter.Jack’s expression changed drastically.Conside

    Meanwhile, Aubree recuperated at the hospital for two whole days before the condition of her arm finally took a turn for the better. Learning that her daughter had been injured, Gina rushed to the hospital early in the morning.“What’s going on here? How’s your injury? Are you feeling better? And why didn’t you tell me earlier?”At the sight of Aubree in a hospital gown, anguish marred Gina’s features.Aubree shook her head woodenly, her voice hoarse. “I’m fine. My injury has already healed, so it wouldn’t do me any good to tell you.”In the past two days, she had been helpless to do anything because of her injured arm. When she was awake, she spent most of the time in tears.It was precisely for that reason that she didn’t want her parents to come over.Only when Gina heard her voice did she notice that her daughter had seemingly been crying. On a closer look, she saw that Aubree’s face was horribly puffy.In a flash, her heart sank. “What happened? Why did you cry so much? And who

    Immediately, Sonya whipped out her phone and gave Lucian a call. At that very moment, Lucian had just left Roxanne’s house after dinner.The instant he saw that it was a call from his mother, his heart sank. The tenderness on his face was all but gone, replaced by a layer of frost.“Where are you right now? Make a trip back to the Farwell main residence this instant! I have something to say to you!”As soon as the call was connected, Sonya’s voice blasted out before Lucian could even utter a single word.His brows knitted together, and he glanced back at Roxanne’s house, which was brightly lit. It was as though he could still hear the sounds of her playing with Archie and Benny.Snapping back to reality, he agreed somberly, “Got it. I’ll come over at once.”In truth, he could more or less guess the purpose of his mother’s call.Well, she must have learned about my decision to call off the engagement and wants to speak up for Aubree. This time, I’m not going to give in to her anymore.

    Lucian found it downright ironic that Sonya and Aubree both trusted yet doubted each other. Since she wants a reason, I don’t mind giving her one.“Aubree isn’t suitable to be Essie’s mother. I’ve already given her six years and allowed her to take care of Essie recently. However, Essie is still unwilling to accept her. In fact, Essie’s condition is showing signs of recurrence under her care. I won’t risk Essie’s well-being.”Frowning deeply, Sonya dipped her head and directed her gaze at Aubree.Indeed, she knew nothing about Estella’s condition.Before that day, she thought that Aubree and Essie were already getting along smashingly well.She had never expected the reality to be such.Even then, she would never accept Roxanne, who had abandoned Estella back then.“Aubree merely needs some time. Give her more time. She’ll be able to resolve it!” Sonya insisted stubbornly.The impatience on Lucian’s face grew even more blatant. “If I were to allow her to continue interacting with Ess

    Soon, the weekend arrived. Roxanne was woken up by the sound of the kids knocking at her door. The moment she opened the door, she saw the three little ones all dressed up and looking at her excitedly.As Roxanne was still half asleep, she could not remember their plan for the day and was puzzled as to what was going on.“Mommy, we are going to the amusement park today!” Benny reminded in his childish voice, noticing that his mother was in a daze.Only then did Roxanne finally snap out of her trance. Feeling slightly frustrated with herself, she asked, “What time is it now?”Benny looked at his smartwatch and answered, “It’s already seven in the morning. Mr. Farwell told us that he will be reaching soon!”When Roxanne heard that, she looked down at her nightgown, and with a look of exasperation on her face, she instructed Archie and Benny, “I’m going to wash up now. Can the two of you prepare breakfast?”The boys smiled at their mother and replied, “Mr. Farwell is taking us out for b

    “If you’re reluctant to do it, I’ll help you explain it to the kids,” Roxanne said worriedly. They were stuck in a crowd, and she could see that Lucian was uncomfortable.Lucian turned to look at the three children waiting for them close by, and his gaze softened. “It’s all right. As long as they like it.”His gaze then shifted toward Roxanne. “As for you, remember to hold tight onto me if you get scared later.”Roxanne was startled when her eyes met with his mischievous ones. She lowered her head as mixed feelings surged within her heart.Throughout the years, she had brought Archie and Benny to an amusement park many times.The two children had mentioned wanting to go on a roller coaster countless times but were never able to.Before that day, they had never mentioned wanting her to represent them to go on the roller coaster either.Perhaps they thought that I would be afraid.It was not until today, with Lucian’s appearance, that they dared to ask her such a request.

He said he knew me, so I thought he had nothing to do with Roxanne.But in hindsight, who else besides Roxanne would do something so wretched?

    “Fiancée?” Kai shot back a question with a meaningful look. “Which fiancée are you talking about? During your absence, a lot of things have happened in Mr. Farwell’s life!” Shawn’s heart sank slightly when he heard that. “What do you mean? Isn’t Aubree Pearson his fiancée?”Kai laughed out loud when he heard that. “That was eight hundred years ago! Back then, I noticed that Lucian had been treating Aubree with indifference. I found it strange that the Farwell and Pearson families have managed to hold on to the engagement for many years.”Shawn did not respond. Instead, he continued to listen to his friend’s rambling.“The Farwell family called off the engagement two years ago. Lucian even implied that Aubree has a poor character. It turns out that his ex-wife is back in the country with two children. Right now, the Pearson family is being made bankrupt by the Farwell family, and Lucian is getting it on with his ex-wife again!”Kai was very animated when he was gossiping. It was as if

    “I would say I’m pretty easy on the eyes. Getting to sleep with me isn’t that much of a loss for you.” He tucked a finger under her chin and lifted it so that she was looking right at him. “You truly are a delicacy. I hope you won’t forget me anytime soon.” As he spoke, his hand began to slide down Aubree’s neck, and he started to bend down until he was hovering right over her.She snapped back to her senses and pushed his hand away with a scowl on her face. “Get out! Don’t make me repeat myself!”The man chuckled amusedly at her angry look and actually began to walk out.Soon enough, Aubree was left alone in the hotel roomShe began to look around her, trying to recall what had happened last night.No matter how much she tried to make sense of her surroundings, she just couldn’t remember what happened.She had a*sumed that someone had been hired to a*sault her.However, that man didn’t look like someone who could be hired.

    Cory’s face was clouded over with disdain. “Obviously, I’m taking a picture of my lovely ex-boss. Aubree was the one who made me who I am today. How can I possibly forgive her so easily?” As he spoke, an ominous aura radiated from him as if he were a devil from hell. There was an imminent chill in the air that seemed to come from his sheer hatred toward Aubree.Frieda couldn’t help but shudder at his demeanor.“Have you gone insane? The Pearson family is already in ruins. How are you still not satisfied yet?”Cory snickered. “I won’t be satisfied until she truly gets what she deserves. Besides, she did this to herself!”He narrowed his eyes and began scrutinizing the people in front of him.“You don’t have to play pretend around me, Ms. Queen. Don’t you want to shut her up for good too? In fact, you’re probably still getting threatened by her, right?”Frieda’s eyelids quivered as she forced herself to look away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She might have done her best t

As a result, Ophelia didn’t have the chance to make her move.Aubree repeatedly received disappointing updates from Ophelia when she contacted the latter on multiple occasions.Exasperated, Aubree invited Ophelia out once more.“Aubree, there’s nothing I can do either. Who would’ve expected that b*tch to stop the other two kids from attending school after that little b*stard got hurt!” Ophelia uttered helplessly.She thought she could still target Archie and Estella while Benny recuperated at home due to his injury.To her surprise, she received news that all three children had applied for leave the following day.Aubree clenched her fists.

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stepped out of the kindergarten with a grim expression. Thank goodness I handled the matter fast enough! Who’d have thought Mr. Bauer would launch an investigation as soon as he returned? Gosh. I almost blew my cover!
