All Chapters of The abandoned Wife : Chapter 621 - Chapter 630

“Lucian, what are you talking about—” Of course, Aubree would never admit to what she did, so she had no choice but to continue playing coy. However, Lucian did not let her finish her sentence. “We’re both at fault for letting our joke of an engagement drag on for six years. Now, it’s time to end it! After you get discharged, I’ll announce the end of the relationship between our families. I’m only doing this for Old Mr. Pearson’s sake, so play along if you know what’s good for you!”We’re calling it off? Aubree widened her eyes in shock and took quite a while before regaining her senses. It took me six years to finally get Lucian to give me another chance. I can’t believe my dream shattered when I’m this close to realizing it! How can he be so cruel to me? No! I won’t allow this to happen! I’ve worked so hard for six years, so there’s no way I’m going to let him get his way!Ignoring the injury on her arm, Aubree gritted her teeth and reached out to grab the hem of Lucian’s shirt. He

Cayden had always been highly efficient at work. Besides, he only had to investigate the research institute’s recent purchase orders. That evening itself, he entered Farwell Group’s CEO’s office with the latest purchase order in hand.“I’ve done as you asked, Mr. Farwell. Here, have a look.”Taking the order from Cayden, Lucian looked it over while listening to his report.“A bottle of medicine on this order doesn’t match the actual quantity purchased by the research institute. From my investigations, Colby was the one who privately arranged for the purchasing staff to buy it. He placed it with one of the other medicines and sneaked it into the research institute.”At that point, a conflicted expression showed on Cayden’s face as he admitted, “However, I couldn’t find out what medicine he smuggled in. He hid it so well that even the purchasing staff doesn’t know the answer.”In a flash, Lucian’s gaze darkened a shade.Although we don’t know the kind of medicine Colby privately bought

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

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

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.
