Back at the Queen residence, Alfred wore an ugly scowl after Roxanne left. The caregiver came to bring him out for his daily exercise, but Alfred snapped, “I won’t be exercising today. You can leave now.”With that said, he turned to Jonathan and demanded, “You promised to collaborate with Dr. Jarvis’ research institute, but why is this happening? You didn’t even realize it until Dr. Jarvis showed up earlier. What if Dr. Jarvis didn’t come to demand an explanation? Is Queen Group going to be known for not keeping its word?”Jonathan bowed respectfully and allowed Alfred to yell at him. When Alfred was done talking, he parted his lips and admitted his mistake. “Grandpa, it was my negligence. I shall start an investigation now and give Dr. Jarvis an explanation. Queen Group’s reputation won’t be affected!”Alfred banged his cane on the ground angrily. “Investigate it now! I shall investigate alongside you to find out who the culprit is. We can’t let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

“Who ordered you to do it? Spill the truth. I want to know who in Queen Group dared to defy my orders!” Alfred declared furiously. Hearing that, Rex was close to tears. If I reveal the person right now, Old Mr. Queen will definitely punish her! I don’t dare to do that. As he didn’t utter a word, Alfred harrumphed unhappily. “Since you refuse to say anything, I’ll a*sume it was your idea.” He whipped his head around and told Jonathan, “He works for you, so you can decide what to do with him!” Rex didn’t want to be held accountable for such a huge mistake, so he immediately protested, “No, Old Mr. Queen. I dare not do that!” “Who is it then?” Jonathan rose to his feet and glowered at him. The chilling aura surrounding his body was almost palpable. Rex lowered his head and revealed cautiously, “It is Ms. Frieda.” Frieda? Hearing that, Jonathan and Alfred could barely hide their shock. They couldn’t understand why Frieda would do something detrimental to the Queen family when she

Frieda took two steps back subconsciously as she defended herself, “Did I say anything wrong? If Queen Group lands into trouble because we go against Farwell Group, that will be a huge crisis!” Jonathan felt his temples throbbing. Clenching his jaw, he admonished, “Do you know why Queen Group can stand tall for over a century?”Frieda hung her head low and said nothing.“That’s because we deliver what we promise!” Jonathan shot her a disappointed look. “If we give up on our principle easily because of personal matters, Queen Group will lose the credibility to do business in the medical industry!”Frieda cowered back and glanced at Alfred cautiously. She said humbly, “Jonathan, I’m doing this for Queen Group’s sake. No company in Horington dares to go against Farwell Group! Mrs. Farwell warned every medicinal herb supplier in Horington to stay away from Roxanne. If we don’t do the same, how will she think of us? Our relationship with Farwell Group might take a toll. It isn’t worth the

On the other hand, Frieda was furious as she a*sumed her brother and grandfather didn’t appreciate her efforts. Consequently, they even forbade her from interfering in Queen Group’s business. After Alfred and Jonathan went upstairs, Frieda plopped onto the couch angrily and brooded for a long time. She would occasionally vent her frustrations on the servants.As she failed to tamp down her frustration, she called Aubree.“Aubree, where are you?”Aubree was in the hospital, and Sonya was sitting beside her. Hearing Frieda’s voice, she lowered her phone’s volume and responded, “I’m in the hospital. What’s wrong?”“Haven’t you got discharged yet?” Frieda asked in concern.Frieda knew Aubree was admitted to the hospital after she got hurt trying to save Sonya. Frieda often visited Aubree at the hospital, but she didn’t realize Aubree’s condition was that serious.Aubree glanced at Sonya and said pretentiously, “I wanted to discharge from the hospital as I think I’m doing better, but Mrs.

Frieda was rather confused. Could it be that… Aubree has another trick up her sleeve?With that thought in mind, Frieda asked carefully, “Aubree, do you mean that you have another way to teach Roxanne a lesson?”Ugh, she’s so annoying. Even if I have another trick up my sleeve, why would I let her know? She’s no help at all!However, Aubree knew she would still need Frieda’s help one day. Thus, she a*sured Frieda, “Don’t worry. I won’t let that b*tch gain the upper hand. She was the reason you got chided by Old Mr. Queen and Jonathan. I shall avenge you and make sure she gets what she deserves!”In just a few words, Aubree had placed the blame on Roxanne.Frieda nodded vehemently. “Since I met her, Grandpa and Jonathan kept finding fault with me. I’m one of them, but they insisted on siding with her! We really need to teach her a lesson.”Having achieved her goal, Aubree squinted her eyes in satisfaction. She patted Frieda’s shoulder and said, “Don’t forget that we’re not the only on

Roxanne was at a loss for words upon noticing how downhearted they were. Thankfully, Archie and Benny knew their mother could not bear to leave Estella either. Although they were upset, they eventually regained their composure and continued finishing their dinner, sensibly not uttering another word.By the time Roxanne finished her dinner, she had drained every last bit of her energy. The two boys went upstairs to rest as they were not in the mood to play anymore.Watching them sleep, Roxanne gently stroked their cheeks and whispered, “Sorry, darlings.”At such a young age, Archie and Benny had to travel from one place to another because of her.By right, these boys deserved a better life. Had she told Lucian the truth, the Farwell family would for sure take them back, and they would be able to enjoy all the privileges.Yet, Roxanne chose to keep them by her side.She had worked hard over the years to make it up to the boys, but it seemed what she did was far from enough.After watch

At the end of the day, the man was from Queen Group. Since Jonathan had left the matter to that man’s hand, that meant he was also one of Jonathan’s men. Therefore, Roxanne was not going to put him in a tough spot. What she said earlier was merely a reminder for him that the research institute was not easy to deal with and for him to put in more effort into the matter in the future. Coming back to his sense, Rex let out a loud sigh of relief. He then quickly held Roxanne’s hand, nodding vigorously. “Of course, of course!”Roxanne flashed him a polite smile. “I look forward to working with you, then.”Rex wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and agreed to her words fervently.On the other side, Colby was done with counting the herbs. He then asked the employees to move the boxes in before he walked over to the other two people.Clearly, Rex had done similar jobs before, for he quickly handed Colby the document when he saw the other man approaching them.Colby glanced at Roxanne.

“Do you still think you’ve done nothing wrong?” Jonathan could figure out what she was thinking with just one glance. With a cold look, he put down the documents in his hands and gravely looked at the young woman in front of him.Frieda frowned. “I didn’t do anything wrong. The one targeting Roxanne was Mrs. Farwell, not me. I was just working on her instructions.”“Mrs. Farwell told you herself not to supply any herbs to Dr. Jarvis’ research institute?” Jonathan sternly questioned, causing Frieda to jump in fright.She tensed for a second, but she was quick to relax again. Then, she steeled herself and replied, “Even if Mrs. Farwell didn’t tell me that, I know what she wants. Furthermore, we’re in a good relationship with Farwell Group. Shouldn’t we help Mrs. Farwell?”Before Jonathan could speak, Frieda continued, “Jonathan, remember that Roxanne left without a word; she only left behind divorce papers. Mrs. Farwell hasn’t settled the score with her yet. Aren’t we, the people who k

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
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Schemes
Due to Benny’s injury, the three kids didn’t attend their cla*ses at the kindergarten for the time being. 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. Hatred filled her eyes as she spoke. “That b*tch!”The two women grimaced, stumped at the development.While vexed, Ophelia carefully observed the changes in Aubree’s countenance, fearing the latter might get sick and tired of her.After a lon
The abandoned Wife Healing Wounds
Because of Benny’s injury, Roxanne took a leave of absence for all three of her children and stayed at home to take care of Benny for the time being. Fortunately, the ointment she had developed was very effective, and when she applied it to Benny, his wound healed up rather quickly.In the past two days, Lucian would often come to visit the kids.While Roxanne was busy taking care of Benny, she was also worrying about the projects at the research institute.In the end, she found out that, except for the project with the Damaris family, all the other projects were progressing smoothly.Due to the previous incident, the project with the Damaris family had to be handled by Roxanne and Roxanne only. As such, the project was stalled the moment she left.Since she was preoccupied with taking care of Benny, it took Roxanne a few days to realize that she had forgotten to give Jack a heads-up on the situation.Just when she was about to make a call to Jack to apologize, the man himself called

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! Then again, this must mean that little b*stard’s injury was pretty bad…With that thought in mind, Ophelia curled her lips into a smirk.That b*tch Roxanne has ruined my chances of a happy and comfortable life! She deserves this little payback from me. Ha!Naturally, Ophelia needed to inform Aubree about the incident, so she quickly got into her car and dialed the latter’s number.Fortunately, the call got through after just a few rings.“How did it go? Did you succeed?” Aubree asked urgently.Argh. Life has been incredibly tough on me lately. I need some good news to cheer me up!“I greased the shoes of that Benny boy, and he fell really hard!” Ophelia said with a smug chortle. “Mr. Bauer even made a big fuss out of it when he returned, so I’m sure t
The abandoned Wife A Father's Comfort
Elias knitted his brows when he saw his wife acting in that way. “I don’t remember any conflicts between the two of you six years ago. Why are you so biased against her?” “Are you saying that I’m unreasonable?” Sonya snapped, turning around to glare at him.The resignation on Elias’ face deepened. “I’m only stating facts. Why are you taking this so personally?”“Then we’ll go to her place to check it out right now! We’ll see if the kid really is hurt! Didn’t she ask us to pick Essie up from her house? We’ll go right now!”Elias knew that she was only saying that because she was furious, so he just drove them back to the Farwell main residence.Sonya was even more irked when she realized where they were heading, and she kept grumbling on their way back.Elias pretended not to hear anything she said.He was already relenting much by accompanying her to pick Estella up from the kindergarten.As Farwell Group’s chairman, he simply could not do something ludicrous like kicking up a fuss i

Roxanne’s heart was lodged in her throat as she made her way to the hospital. She floored the accelerator, on the verge of breaking the speed limit. Archie and Benny might be independent since young, but it was the first time one of them had gotten hurt.Roxanne felt a surge of anxiety wash over her.Upon arrival, Roxanne parked her car hastily and strode into the hospital.Pippa was considerate enough to text her the ward number after Benny was admitted to the hospital.Thus, Roxanne found them without any difficulty.“Mommy!”Archie firmly grasped her hand, squeezing it with such force that it caused her pain.Estella also clutched at the corner of her shirt.Roxanne patted their heads comfortingly before turning to Pippa. “Ms. Ward, what happened?”Pippa answered apologetically, “We’re not sure yet. The doctor at the infirmary said it might be a bruised cartilage. Benny is taking an X-ray inside.”Roxanne felt a stab of pain in her heart after she heard the news.“Ms. Jarvis, we’r

The next game was hopping on one foot. The kids filed to the equipment room to change into their sneakers. After changing into his shoes, Benny felt slightly uncomfortable. He a*sumed that it was probably because he had not worn these types of shoes in quite some time and wasn’t used to the fit. Nonetheless, he didn’t give it too much thought and kept going.Archie and Estella were urging him to hurry up, so he pushed aside the thought of his uncomfortable shoes and hurried over to them, beaming happily.This was an individual game, and Benny’s turn wasn’t until later.After Archie and Estella finished their turns, they stood aside to watch Benny play.“Remember to be careful. Safety comes first,” Pippa told them repeatedly.Ophelia stood aside and acted like she was ready to spring into action and protect the children at any moment.The three children had done a good job in the previous games, so when it was Benny’s turn, their friends cheered him on and watched him expectantly.Ben

Upon seeing that Roxanne was still in a daze, Lucian couldn’t resist lifting his hand and caressing her face. “You…”Roxanne was stupefied for several seconds before she belatedly snapped back to her senses. Mild embarra*sment showed in her eyes.While the man had sneaked up on her countless times when they were in Miralaea, she could more or less postulate the reason after the fact.But this time, I didn’t do anything. Why did he simply kiss me?Innocence was written all over Lucian’s face. “Sorry, I lost control.”At that answer, Roxanne’s eyes went wide in fury. However, she couldn’t really censure him either. All she could do was turn around as though nothing had happened and put the washed tableware aside.The two of them spent some time doing the dishes. When they exited the kitchen, Archie, Benny, and Estella pestered Lucian to play with them for a while.Only when it was rather late did Lucian drive home.Needless to say, Roxanne saw him off with the three children.When they

Lucian didn’t expect his father to be in such a hurry to go and pick Estella up. After hanging up the phone, he glanced at the time. Seeing that it was still relatively early, he wanted to phone Roxanne to inform her about the situation. But on second thought, he snagged his jacket and went downstairs.Downstairs, Catalina had just prepared dinner. When she saw her employer coming down, she hollered, “The food is ready, Mr. Farwell.”Lucian halted in his steps for a fleeting second. “Go on and eat. I’m not having dinner at home.”Having said that, he left in huge strides without waiting for a response from her.Catalina stared at the man’s back, bewildered for a moment. In the next heartbeat, understanding dawned upon her.Aha! Who else could induce such an expression on Mr. Farwell’s face? He must be on his way out to visit Ms. Jarvis once more. Thus, he’s also likely having dinner there!Roxanne had just finished cooking dinner and led the three children to the dining table. They h
