“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

    The atmosphere in the room turned tense. Jonathan discreetly shuddered and pondered if he should continue.“Why are you asking about that?” Lucian glanced at him.Jonathan cleared his throat before replying with as much nonchalance as he could muster, “When she came to give Grandpa a checkup yesterday, I suddenly recalled that you were on good terms with her, so I wanted to ask you about it. If you rarely talk to her, then…”Then I’m not going to bother myself with the matter anymore.Before Jonathan could finish his sentence, the other man’s eyes darkened.Jonathan was certain that Lucian would decipher what was going on soon. Hence, he halted and gave Lucian a confused look. “What’s the matter, Lucian?”“Do you want to court her?” Lucian’s brows were tightly knitted, and Jonathan could see the traces of annoyance in them.His question rendered Jonathan dumbfounded and speechless.What have I said to make him think this way?Indeed, Roxanne was a nice woman, but Jonathan knew well a

    Cayden took quite some time before he could reel in from the shock. The first thing he did after that was to report to Lucian. Meanwhile, Lucian did not speak after ending the call with Cayden. Jonathan was no fool, so he quietly ate the food that had turned cold.When Lucian’s phone lit up again, Jonathan whipped his head toward it.Lucian answered the call swiftly.“Mr. Farwell, I have the findings,” Cayden started cautiously.“Who did this?” Lucian asked in a deep voice.Cayden hesitantly replied, “It’s… Mrs. Farwell.”Lucian lowered his gaze when he heard that, but no surprise crossed his face.Ever since Jonathan told him about the matter, he could somewhat guess who was behind it. Instructing Cayden to look into it was just to make sure his speculation was right.“Understood.” Lucian then expressionlessly ended the call.The temperature in the room had almost dropped below zero by then.Jonathan opened his mouth to say something, but Lucian’s voice came first.“When did you fin

In the meantime, Jack stopped behind her.“Sorry.” Roxanne had calmed herself down on their way out and realized that she had been a little too carried away earlier.Jack raised a brow and teased, “What’s the matter? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? You couldn’t have secretly done something terrible to the project, could you, Ms. Jarvis?”Roxanne shook her head immediately. “Of course not.”I’ve done so much for this project. Why would I d

    Estella looked at her father, who was already at the door and turned to look at Aubree, who was still standing by the couch. A few moments pa*sed, and the little girl finally begrudgingly got out of her chair and jogged to keep up with Lucian.Aubree let out a relieved sigh and caught up to them as well.“Daddy,” Estella mumbled. She gave her father a puppy-eyed look and tugged at the corner of his shirt in a bid to curry favor with her father.Lucian lowered his gaze to meet Estella’s. He lifted his hand and patted her head. “I’m really busy lately. Please don’t throw a tantrum at me.”Estella pursed her lips in disapproval, refusing to believe what he said.She knew as a matter of fact that Lucian was in a bad mood because he had quarreled with Roxanne.Estella was flabbergasted that Lucian was still trying to lie to her, despite the fact that even she knew the real reason her father was upset.Why are adults so weird?

    Cory was in a good mood, knowing he had once again made a fortune. He then said, “Of course. Ms. Pearson, I’m sure you’ve come to me again because you believe in my capabilities. Now, tell me. What is it that you want me to investigate?” Narrowing her eyes, Aubree said, “Investigate what happened between Roxanne and Lucian!”Cory let out a meaningful chuckle when he heard what she said.Aubree questioned coldly, “Why are you laughing?”As if unaware of her anger, Cory muttered, “Since you’ve agreed to the price I proposed so readily, I have to show you something.”With that, he took out a phone from the bag beside him and typed away on the screen.Soon, Aubree received a few messages on her phone.“I believe what you’re about to see won’t disappoint you, Ms. Pearson.” Cory sounded confident.Aubree furrowed her brows and swiped open her phone, checking the messages he sent.The chat interface showed that Cory had sent her more than ten pictures.Each picture was attached with the tim

    Aubree followed Estella closely into the room. Hesitantly, she muttered, “Lucian…” She felt somewhat guilty when she noticed the young girl fuming at Lucian.At the same time, she was relieved that Estella had not said a word to her father.Lucian nodded at Aubree and said, “Sorry for troubling you to look after Essie.”Aubree was delighted by his words. She sputtered, “Not at all. I’m happy to do this. Essie’s a lovely girl.”As for how she upset Estella in the car earlier, Aubree decided to sweep things under the rug if the young girl kept things to herself.“Dinner’s ready. Why don’t you eat with us?” Lucian offered.Aubree was over the moon. “Sure.”They entered the dining room one after another.Catalina had already set the table for three.Aubree said, “I’ll go get Essie.”Despite her suggestion, she was not confident about coaxing Estella downstairs.After all, the young girl was put out because of Aubree, and she might not listen to her instructions.If she throws a tantrum i

Roxanne was still chatting with Jack at the time.She had wanted to get him to leave as soon as possible, but Jack started talking about the ancient medicine books halfway through the conversation.Due to Roxanne’s incredible pa*sion for medicine, she couldn’t help but get carried away talking about it again.It wasn’t until Lysa told them dinner was ready that she snapped out of it.“Would you like to stay for dinner, Mr. Damaris?” Roxanne asked out of courtesy.Jack arched an eyebrow when he saw Archie and Benny standing next to the kitchen.They were both glaring daggers at him and looked like they would tear him to pieces if he accepted her invitation.Because they were still kids, they just looked adorable no matter how fierce their expressions were.Jack couldn’t help but smile in amusement as he drawled suspensefully, “Thank you for the invitation, Ms. Jarvis.

They could sense something was off when Roxanne said she would send them to school that morning.It wasn’t until Roxanne handed them over to Pippa that they noticed Roxanne glancing at the crowd from time to time as if she was looking for someone.When Pippa led them into the school, they looked back and saw Roxanne still looking around.Although Archie and Benny said nothing, they knew Roxanne was looking for Lucian and Estella.Mommy must feel terrible after the fight with Daddy that day.At the thought of Roxanne’s sadness and disappointment, Archie and Benny’s moods were gloomy, too.“Archie, Benny, what’s wrong?”Seeing the listless look on the boys’ faces, Pippa walked over to comfort them, “Are you missing Estella?”At the mention of Estella, Archie and Benny’s faces immediately fell.

    Frowning, Lucian fell silent for several seconds. Within several short seconds, the smile slid off Aubree’s face.Until Lucian’s voice sounded once more.“Judging by Essie’s demeanor this morning, the relationship between you seemed to have improved by a lot.”Aubree froze for several seconds at his words before she registered what he said.It was true that the child had been receptive toward her that morning.Aside from rejecting her touch, Estella had responded to almost everything she had said.It was a big improvement compared to before.“I was the one at fault back then,” Aubree replied with a laugh. “I wasn’t patient enough with Essie. Now that I’m a little more patient, Essie can sense it and responds accordingly.”“That’s good,” Lucian answered solemnly. “Enjoy each other’s company.”Smiling, Aubree a*sured him she would.Without discussing it any further, Lucian ended the call on the pretext of work.Though he had already decided to proceed with the engagement, he did not ha
