The abandoned Wife Unexpected Lunch and Unwelcome Visitors
It was past eight in the evening when Roxanne arrived home. When she entered, she saw the three children sitting on the couch, tuning to the financial news channel. Lucian was sitting cross-legged beside them.The four of them were focused on the television.“You’re back?”Lucian was the first to get up when he heard the sound at the door. “There’s food on the table. I just heated it. You should change and come down for dinner.”Only then did the three children shift their focus and run toward her with round bellies. “Mommy, the food that Daddy ordered is delicious!”Roxanne looked amused when she saw how full they were from eating before she shifted her gaze to the CEO before her who seemed to be asking for credit.“What did you—”“I didn’t want to make you worry. You should know I can take good care of them.”Roxanne was taken aback. She looked at how serious Lucian was and felt her heart skip a beat. “I know. That’s why I asked you to look after them.”The three children stared at
The abandoned Wife Unveiling Truths and Making Arrangements
After much contemplation, Jonathan still thought he had to talk to Lucian face-to-face after learning the truth. Otherwise, the Queen family might meet the same fate as the Pearson family if the Farwells learned about it from Aubree.Jonathan quickly called Lucian and invited him for drinks.Lucian, who had no place to vent his anger for the past two days, agreed without hesitation.The two of them agreed to meet at the club they often went to.When Lucian arrived, Jonathan had already ordered the drinks and was drinking by himself in the private room. He looked pretty angry too.“What’s wrong? Did something happen to the Queen family again?”Lucian took a seat next to him and poured himself a drink.Jonathan was thinking of how to tell Lucian the truth. His mind was a mess.Only when he heard Lucian’s voice did he return to his senses and stop drinking.After a while, he decided to finish the drink in his hand before he smiled bitterly and said, “Lucian, didn’t you say that you susp

Jonathan’s expression darkened after the call ended. He strode out of the room and stopped outside Frieda’s door. Ever since Aubree left, Frieda had been cooping up in her room due to her guilty conscience.When she heard someone knocking on the door, she was so nervous that she nearly fell out of her bed.“Frieda, it’s me. Open the door.” Jonathan spoke in a firm tone that left no room for negotiation.However, Frieda did not have the guts to face him. Faking a weak voice, she answered, “I’m not feeling well. Can we talk another time…”“If you don’t open the door now, I’ll get the key and open it myself.” Jonathan was adamant about speaking to his sister right then.Frieda had no choice but to get up and open the door. “Jonathan, what’s so urgent that you have to talk to me immediately?”Looking at the woman with a scrutinizing gaze, Jonathan said, “Two million five hundred thousand was found missing from the company’s accounts during the time you were there. What did you spend the

“As a matter of fact, I still don’t know why Lucian called off your engagement,” Shawn stated his doubts as he fixed his gaze on her. Hearing that, Aubree allowed herself to relax. Hope flashed across her eyes as she asked, “Is there nothing going on between you and Roxanne?”Surprised, Shawn retorted, “Why would you think there’s something going on between us?”Aubree let out a deep breath of relief before unleashing her pent-up emotions and bitter resentment toward Roxanne. “If it wasn’t for that b*tch, I would have been Mrs. Farwell by now! I’ll never forgive her for what she did!”Shawn noticed the change in her gaze and fell silent for a few moments. A strange smile played on his lips as he said, “I can help you.”Aubree’s heart skipped a beat as she met his gaze in delight.She might be wrong, but there seemed to be a calculative look in Shawn’s eyes.Shawn had grown weary of attempting to disguise his intentions. He declared frankly, “You can count on me to provide you with th

“So? Have you come up with a plan, Aubree?” As time ticked past, Frieda grew increasingly anxious.Aubree recalled something right then and clenched her jaw forcefully. “Have you investigated the man from that night?”Frieda’s eyes turned as wide as saucers. “You’re going to ask for his help? Didn’t you say he’s in cahoots with Roxanne? What if he betrays you?”Determination flashed across Aubree’s eyes. “That’s the only way! The man gave off an unusual aura, so I’m sure he’s a powerful man!”“But… why would someone like him work for Roxanne?” Frieda was filled with confusion.“Did you investigate or not?” Aubree snapped, her patience wearing thin.Frieda gave a hesitant nod. “I checked the surveillance footage and tracked down his house.”“Bring me there!” Aubree said without hesitation.Seeing that she was so determined, Frieda had no choice but to do as told.They hailed a taxi by the roadside, and Frieda gave the driver the address of their destination. The vehicle slowly pulled

Roxanne had a hesitant look in her eyes as she asked, “I want to know what you think of Archie and Benny. Tell me honestly, did you only choose to accept them because of me?” “You know me. Except for Essie, I have no patience for kids in general. But things are different with Archie and Benny. I’m not sure if it’s because they have your blood running through their veins, but I felt an odd sense of closeness with them the moment I first saw them,” Lucian replied without any hesitation.He then released his grip on Roxanne as he continued, “I was prepared to accept them the moment I first saw them. It’s just as I said in the announcement. From now on, I will treat them as our children, which is no different from how I treat Essie.”Roxanne felt a wave of melancholy sweep over her when she heard that.Lucian said he felt a sense of closeness with them because they’re my children, but in reality, they’re his children too… Who would’ve thought being related by blood would have such a stro
The abandoned Wife Unraveling Deception: Pursuit of Justice and Unexpected Tenderness
Not wanting to say anything further, Sonya simply shook her head with a gloomy expression. The fact that she had been tricked by someone like Aubree was humiliating enough.She was not about to admit it in front of Roxanne.Lucian and Roxanne exchanged solemn glances when they saw her response.“What do you plan on having the police do to her?” Elias asked.“They will handle her accordingly based on what she did. However, we don’t know where Aubree is right now, so we’ll need to find her before we even worry about that,” Lucian replied coldly.Sonya frowned the moment she heard that. “Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? I wouldn’t have taken that tone with her if you had told me about it!”Had I known about this sooner, I would’ve pretended to care about Aubree and tricked her into coming back!Of course, Lucian knew what Sonya had in mind. “She’s extremely cautious. I only told you to call her to test her out, so I wasn’t expecting much to begin with.”Realizing that Sonya was
The abandoned Wife Betrayal Unveiled: Sonya's Revelation and Aubree's Dilemma
Sonya fixed Roxanne with a cold-eyed stare, clearly suspecting that Lucian had caused a commotion because of her. Lucian stepped between his mother and Roxanne protectively, then led the latter downstairs and made her sit in the armchair while he stood beside her.“I wouldn’t have bothered the police at such a late hour, but I caught a woman named Ophelia Smith trying to pour lubricant over the brakes on Roxanne’s car this afternoon. Had I not discovered what she was doing, I’m afraid Roxanne and the children could be dead by now.”Sonya’s expression changed. “What? Didn’t that person know Estella would be riding in that car too?”Lucian’s tone turned grave as he replied, “She knew, of course. After all, the mastermind behind it all is Aubree.”“What did you say?” Sonya was so enraged that she lost her balance and staggered backward into Elias.He immediately helped her to the couch, then asked, “What’s going on? How can you be sure that it was Aubree’s doing? Hasn’t she learned her
The abandoned Wife Desperate Choices: Aubree's Flight and Lucian's Dilemma
As she stepped out of the hotel, Aubree’s mind drew a blank. She had no idea what to do next. There was no way she could return to the mansion on the outskirts, as Lucian would definitely have it watched.The same could be said of the hotel.Feeling desperate, she gave Frieda a call.The latter, who was already sound asleep, was woken up by the ringing of her phone.Just as she was about to end the call by reflex, she was jolted awake by a glimpse of the caller ID. It was then that a glint of annoyance flashed across her eyes.Aubree! When is she going to stop bugging me?Upon regaining her composure, she answered, “Aubree, is there anything I can do for you?”“Where are you now? Come to the hotel. I’m downstairs waiting for you. Remember, don’t let anyone find out!”The tension in Aubree’s voice couldn’t be any more obvious.Her tone caused Frieda’s heart to inexplicably sink. Before she even replied, she had already gotten out of bed.“What’s wrong? Did something happen? Why do you
