The abandoned Wife Fragile Loyalties: Roxanne Amidst Conflict
As Joseph noticed Lucian getting nearer to them, he glanced at his friends who were standing not far away. Joseph steeled himself and stood in front of Lucian. “Do you know this woman?”Lucian slowly came to a stop as his gaze emotionlessly swept over the man in front of him before returning to Roxanne’s face.The woman in question had cast her gaze downward, and her lips were pursed. She did not seem to want his help at all.Noticing her reaction, Lucian felt like he was being mocked.Even at this stage was Roxanne still trying to avoid him.Since that was her wish, Lucian would grant it.Upon thinking of that, Lucian looked away. “I don’t know her.”Joseph inwardly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words.The man on the floor scrambled to get up. He pointed at Lucian’s back and exclaimed, “Why did you kick me?” His voice was full of anger.Lucian only shot him a cold look.The man on the floor suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. He zipped his mouth sheepishly.It was a

Once Joseph and the crowd scurried away, only Lucian and Roxanne were left in the corridor.Roxanne’s wrist was still in Lucian’s grip.Realizing that he did not seem to be releasing her any time soon, Roxanne was not annoyed at all. She merely said in a calm voice, “Everyone’s gone. You can let go of me now, Mr. Farwell. I won’t run away.”Lucian stared at her for a few seconds before slowly relaxing his grip.Roxanne’s eyebrows furrowed as she rubbed her aching wrist. She took two steps backward and looked up at Lucian. “Is there anything else, Mr. Farwell?”Lucian frowned upon hearing that.He had saved her, but she did not even thank him for it. Instead, she had asked him if there was anything else.“I’ve helped you out again, and this is your attitude toward me?” Lucian’s tone was laced with coldness.Roxanne’s lips curled mockingly. “Help? If you really wanted to help me, you wouldn’t have said those words to Joseph. You’re only using me for your own benefit. There’s no need to

In the car opposite the main road, the driver noticed the sudden change in atmosphere. His palms started sweating as the air surrounding them seemed to have dropped by a few degrees.It was after a long time that Lucian stopped looking at the entrance to the hotel. “Let’s go back,” he ordered in a cold voice.The driver acknowledged his instructions and started the engine, driving toward the hotel that Lucian was staying at.Roxanne had no idea that Lucian had seen her. She opened the door to the pa*senger seat and got into Larry’s car.The moment she entered the car, she politely took off Larry’s coat and placed it in the backseat.After getting the address to her hotel, Larry revved up the engine.Both of them remained silent for the entire journey. Roxanne looked out the window to stare at the scenery outside and soon fell into deep thought.She couldn’t understand Lucian’s attitude earlier at all.“You just left like that. What about Mr. Farwell?” Larry suddenly asked.Roxanne onl

Right at that moment, no one could listen to the announcement through the speakers anymore. The plane erupted into chaos, with wails and screams sounding from every part of the plane. There were even some pa*sengers demanding answers to their questions.It was Roxanne’s first time experiencing such a situation as well. Although she felt uneasy, she still managed to calm herself down.Yet as she listened to what was going on around her, the uneasy feeling in her heart seemed to have grown stronger.The airplane was still experiencing turbulence.Suddenly, someone cried out, “My kids are waiting for me at home.”Roxanne clearly heard that sentence. Her eyes widened, and the restlessness in her heart seemed to have increased greatly.My kids… Archie and Benny are still waiting for me at home.Roxanne was already selfish enough to keep their family background a secret. She could not bear to think what would happen to them if something were to happen to her.The moment she imagined her two

Roxanne remained seated in her seat, watching as the man left the plane. It was a while before she slowly stood up.Just as she did, a wave of nausea hit her. It seemed to be a physical reaction after stress.Roxanne grabbed the seat in front of her to stabilize herself. Once she regained her balance, she carefully got off the plane.As she walked to the immigration gate, her entire body ached uncomfortably while her stomach lurched painfully.Upon getting inside the airport, she made a beeline to the nearest restroom.“Jeez!” A voice laced with annoyance rang out. A pa*serby was walking with their luggage when Roxanne accidentally bumped into him.Roxanne tried her best to suppress the discomfort she was feeling and hastily bowed to the man to apologize. She continued to run toward the restroom with a hand covering her mouth.Not far away, Lucian heard the commotion behind him. He instinctively turned around to see what was going on and managed to catch sight of Roxanne dashing into

Archie and Benny dragged Madilyn to the door the moment they heard some noises at the gate.They opened the door as soon as the car pulled over at the entrance. The three of them were completely baffled to see the car that stopped at the porch.This car looks somewhat familiar.Roxanne could see the curious gazes of the trio in the car. Instantly, she felt a headache coming her way.While she was still debating how to explain herself, the man next to her opened the car door.Upon recollecting herself, she wanted to open the door. Only then that she realized that it was already open.“You’re home.” Lucian reminded her of her predicament with an outstretched arm.Roxanne clenched her jaw and wanted to hop out of the car from another side.Lucian’s voice sounded again. “I suppose you wouldn’t want your two children to see you fall down, right?”Roxanne’s body stiffened at once.Though she had not regained much of her strength, she did not want Archie and Benny to see her being so close t

Although Roxanne had repeated multiple times that she felt fine, Madilyn could not feel at ease, and hence, she examined her body thoroughly.In the end, she concluded that Roxanne had mild post-traumatic stress. With sufficient rest, she would surely recover.Roxanne did not want the kids to speculate, so she went downstairs after getting a short rest.Right then, Lysa was serving dinner. She was about to head upstairs and check if Roxanne wanted to join them, only to realize that Roxanne was already up.“How are you feeling? Can you eat these? Otherwise, I can make you some soup.” Lysa was very concerned.Roxanne’s face was no longer as pale as before. She shook her head and replied, “Don’t trouble yourself. I don’t have much appetite, anyway. I can eat anything that’s already been prepared.”With that, she took her seat at the dining table.Archie and Benny, who were in the living room, dashed over to surround Roxanne the moment they heard her voice.As their gazes met, Roxanne ruf

Roxanne felt a lot better when she woke up the next morning. Recalling that she was to send the children to the kindergarten, she got up and washed up before opening the door to head downstairs.Just as she did, she was greeted by the sight of the two boys at the door.Looking forward to their mother sending them to kindergarten, the excited Archie and Benny had woken up early to wait at Roxanne’s door.Their initial plan was to knock and wake her up, but they decided against it, as she wasn’t feeling well. Not wanting to disturb her rest, they resigned themselves to waiting outside.When Roxanne came out of her room, the boys’ eyes lit up. “Mommy!”Roxanne stroked their heads. “Come along now. Let’s have breakfast before I send you to the kindergarten.”Both of them nodded as they held Roxanne’s hand, one on each side of her. Every now and then, they would look up at her to ascertain if she had fully recovered.When they arrived downstairs, Lysa had already prepared breakfast. Madily

The abandoned Wife Family Ties Unraveled: A Heart-Wrenching Encounter
Roxanne had long guessed Sonya would treat her with an unpleasant attitude. Although she was displeased, she didn’t show it on her face.“It’s Essie and Mr. Farwell’s wishes that Essie stays here. As you’re her grandma, I have nothing to say if you want to bring her back, but I hope you respect Essie’s opinions.”Sonya frowned in displeasure.I’ve already asked Essie just now. I wonder what sorcery Roxanne has cast on her to make her refuse to go home. That’s why I turned to ask Roxanne, but I didn’t expect this woman to be so tactless!Sonya was livid.Just then, Estella spoke. “Grandma, I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here and play with Archie and Benny.”Estella looked at Sonya pitifully.Usually, when Estella wore such an expression, Sonya would have gone along with her wishes. However, she was filled with rage right now, so Estella’s look only added fuel to the fire.“You have to go home even if you don’t want to. You belong to the Farwell family. How can you stay at some
The abandoned Wife Unsettled reunion
Ten minutes ago, Catalina had been instructing the rest of the household staff on their chores when she heard the doorbell ring.The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was Sonya.Before Catalina could greet her, Sonya questioned her, “Where’s Essie? Tell Essie to come out. Tell her that her grandma is here.”Catalina was put in a difficult position.Estella had not been in the manor for the past few days.She had thought that the little girl was with Sonya.However, judging from Sonya’s reaction, Catalina knew there and then that Estella was with Roxanne.It was obvious that Sonya must have discovered that, and that explained her anger.As a servant, Catalina did not know how to answer her question. In the end, she replied, “I will inform Mr. Farwell right away.”She was about to go and seek help from Lucian when Sonya stopped her in her tracks.“I want to see Essie. If she doesn’t come down, I will go up myself.”With that, she began to walk upstairs.Catalina had no choice

“Please wait for a moment as Mrs. Farwell is taking a nap. I’ll tell her you’re here.” After inviting Aubree to sit on the couch in the living hall, the butler was ready to go up to call Sonya.Aubree knitted her brows and responded, “It’s okay. I can go up and check on her.”The butler knew Sonya doted on her. He hesitated but eventually agreed to allow her to go upstairs.Aubree responded with a nod. After plastering a smile on her face, she took the stairs and went up.Sonya had just woken up from her nap in the master bedroom upstairs. Upon hearing a knock on the door, she opened it right away.“Mrs. Farwell.” Aubree grinned politely. “I hope I’m not disturbing you.”Sonya, too, responded with a smile when she realized it was Aubree. “Not at all. I just woke up.”Aubree walked up to her and held her arm affectionately. “I brought you lots of gifts. Let’s go down and check them out.”“Aww, you’re too sweet.” Sonya glanced at her. “You didn’t have to do that. I’m happy that you’re h
The abandoned Wife Veiled Schemes
The search lasted the entire morning.The grim-faced Cayden, who returned with his subordinates in the afternoon, said, “We found nothing, Mr. Farwell.”Admittedly, Cory was an excellent private investigator.Cayden could not help but wonder how he had managed to keep in touch with his employers.Not only did Cayden not find any evidence of how the mastermind instructed Cory to spy on Roxanne, but he also could not find proof that could expose Cory’s identity as a private investigator.Cory began playing the sympathy card. “Mr. Farwell, I told you no one instructed me to do anything.”Lucian waited for half a day but did not get the answer he was looking for. His eyes blazed with fury when he saw the pretentious innocent look on the culprit’s face.“If no one put you up to this, why did you stalk her?” he asked.Cory blinked innocently. “B-Because I find Ms. Jarvis attractive. I wished to snap photos of her since I was trying my hand at photography.”He had felt nervous before Cayden
The abandoned Wife Silent Interrogation
Meanwhile, Lucian, too, ordered Cayden to investigate the issue.With Farwell Group’s financial capability, the investigation was carried out effortlessly.In less than an hour, Cayden had managed to bring the private investigator to Farwell Group.It was not until the private investigator was led to Farwell Group’s entrance that he realized something was off.“D-Did I do something wrong? Why did you bring me here?”Cayden cast him a cold glance. “Why are you asking me that? I’m not the one who calls the shots here. You’ll find out soon.”The private investigator’s legs trembled when he heard Cayden’s words.The only person who came to mind when he thought of the person who called the shots for Farwell Group was none other than Lucian Farwell.The private investigator had recently been following Roxanne around on Aubree’s orders. During those times, he had indeed seen Roxanne interacting with Lucian.Yet, he paid no mind to that.After all, he was merely doing as instructed. He did no

Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances.They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly.Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”The person on the o

At the side, Estella had her head lifted and gazed at Roxanne, looking hopeful.Roxanne’s gaze flickered. Only after obtaining Lucian’s promise did she forcibly suppress the worry within her.“Got it. I’ll take good care of Essie for the next few days.”Lucian indifferently inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. Shortly after, he took his leave and left.Roxanne watched as his car disappeared into the distance before bringing Archie, Benny, and Estella into the mansion.All three children were already starving to the point that their stomachs growled incessantly.Without tarrying, Roxanne prepared some quick and easy breakfast to fill their stomachs first.After having breakfast, she had the children play by themselves while she stood up and went into the study.She simply couldn’t sit back and do nothing about the person who used the bacteria on the children.Worse still, Lucian left Estella at her place. Hence, she wanted to catch the culprit as soon as possible to eliminat
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Arrangements
“Have you and the kids been here?”Lucian came to a stop under a gigantic tree.Stopping with him, Roxanne looked around before shaking her head. “No.”That tree was located at the edge of the woods.Yesterday, she had been with Archie, Benny, and Estella in the woods or by the waterfall.As such, they indeed hadn’t been to that particular spot.Nodding in understanding, Lucian motioned for her to take a look at the bottom of the tree.Roxanne followed his gaze and took a closer look, upon which she made out a vague footprint.From the looks of it, it obviously belonged to an adult.As the footprints moved toward the edge of the gra*sy area, they grew increasingly faint.Therefore, she had no way of knowing whether the owner of those footprints had gone anywhere near the tent.However, it was certain that someone else was there yesterday other than her and the children.In fact, that person had been watching from the side while she was playing with the children.That realization had a
The abandoned Wife Revelation And Resilience
After Archie, Benny, and Estella had dozed off, Roxanne turned off the small night light in the tent.Consequently, the tent was pitch-dark right then, and she had no idea whether Lucian was asleep on the other side.Well, I didn’t hear any movement in a long time, so he has probably gone to sleep.At that thought, Roxanne quietly got up and left the tent. She sat outside under the moonlight alone and stared blankly into space.The weather had been great for the past two days. The moon shone brightly, but there weren’t many stars in the sky.For safety reasons, Lucian had the headlights turned on, illuminating the tent’s surroundings and rendering it like daylight.As Roxanne looked at the scenery around her, her mind gradually began drifting.Too many things had happened that day.At first, the children suddenly contracted a bacterial infection. Then, she inexplicably ended up in the same space as Lucian.Both of the incidents had her emotions turn into a jumbled mess.While she was
