The abandoned Wife The Grand Birthday Banquet: A Glimpse into Social Dynamics
Prior to the birthday banquet, Roxanne had given the last round of treatment to Alfred. Although he couldn’t stay on his feet for too long, he was in better spirits, and he could even get out of bed and move around.Roxanne had also given him medications and told him to take them on time. After that, the treatment was complete.On the day of the birthday banquet, Roxanne went home to dress up after she finished her work at the research institute. After putting on a dress and tying up her hair, she put on simple yet elegant makeup before going to the banquet.When she arrived at the Queen residence, the banquet was just about to start. There were plenty of luxury cars parked outside, and the residence was packed with guests, all of whom were prominent figures in Horington.Since Roxanne had stayed in Horington before that, she knew most of the people there. However, very few of them knew who she was.Yet, she was the center of attention when she showed up at the venue.When the crowd s

Roxanne fell silent and smiled with her pursed lips.Frieda wasn’t happy when she heard how her parents were complimenting Roxanne. She then scanned the surroundings to look for Lucian and Aubree. When she realized neither of them was there yet, she glanced at the entrance in anticipation. Let’s see if that woman could still smile when she sees Lucian showing up alongside Aubree!Frieda didn’t need to wait long, though. A few minutes later, Lucian showed up at the entrance of the mansion.“Lucian is here!” Frieda exclaimed to get everyone’s attention.As soon as those words fell, everyone in the Qucen residence turned toward the mansion’s entrance. Roxanne also did the same instinctively.Lucian was dressed in a tailored black suit. The suit was so well-lined that it was showcasing the man’s toned figure. With most of his hair combed to the back, his perfect lacial features were for everyone to see. At the same time, those few stray strands of hair hanging down from his forehead promp

With her reddened eyes, Aubree answered, “Yet, all the doctors I’ve found were useless..”Alfred was moved when he saw how caring she was. With a smile on his face, he said, “I know you’re a good person. You deserve the credit for finding me those doctors for the past years. Otherwise, I would’ve suffered more.”Henrietta quickly comforted her as well. “You’ve been very thoughtful, Aubree. In fact, you’ve even been treating Old Mr. Queen like your own grandpa! We’re very grateful.”After saying that, she remembered how Lucian had also contributed to curing Alfred over the years. “Lucian, you too. Thank you,” she added.In response, Lucian slightly nodded. “We were just doing our duties as the younger generation.”Hearing that, Henrietta immediately glanced at their outfits and couldn’t help but say, “Good things come in pairs, right? Since you’ve already been together with Aubree for so many years, I guess we’ll meet each other again at your engagement party!”Jonathan glanced at Roxa

Roxanne smirked and walked up to her. “Hence, stop appearing in front of me and talk about things that don’t concern me. Do you have any idea how much of an annoyance you are?”With that, Roxanne walked past her without sparing her another glance.It took a long while for Frieda to regain her composure. When she did, she was so angry at what Roxanne said to her. She wanted to throw a tantrum, but Roxanne was already out of her sight.Roxanne fled pretty quickly because she didn’t want to hear any more of Frieda’s nonsense. Infact, she didn’t even know how she would react if she were to hear them again.Since Frieda found her at the spot furthest away from the crowd, Roxanne had no choice but to find a new quiet spot to have a seat. This time around, she was a lot nearer to the crowd at the banquetCoincidentally, that spot was just opposite where Lucian was at.Lucian noticed her presence the moment she appeared in his line of sight. After that, his attention was on her again.When R
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Sentiments
“Jonathan, who’s this gentleman?” Lucian’s indifferent voice broke the silence.Jonathan shuddered before pushing Larry toward Lucian while retreating to the side himself.“Oh! I‘ve forgotten to introduce you guys to each other. This is Larry Morrison from the Morrison family. Mr. Morrison is a medical practitioner, and he‘s abroad most of the time.”With that, he introduced Lucian to Larry, “This is Lucian Farwell. Mr. Farwell is the CEO of Farwell Group. You‘ve heard of him, right?”As soon as those words fell, Lucian reached out his hand expressionlessly. “Oh, it‘s you, Mr. Morrison. Nice to meet you.”Although it was a very gentleman–like gesture, Larry felt as though Lucian had considered him an enemy. After a moment of hesitation, Larry reached to shake Lucian‘s hand. “I‘ve heard about you ages ago, Mr. Farwell! Roxanne and you are—”As he was speaking, Larry subconsciously glanced at Roxanne. When he was about to complete his sentence, Roxanne interrupted, “Larry, I don‘t know

The next moment, Jonathan turned to examine Lucian’s expression.Taking his lack of displeasure as a sign of consent, Jonathan was about to obey his grandfather when Larry’s voice rang out. “Don’t bother yourself. I have to get home early to attend an online seminar that’s starting soon. I can drop Roxanne off on my way home.”Jonathan felt a tangible drop in the air pressure around him when Larry spoke. Clearing his throat, he was about to reclaim his errand when another cold voice cut across him.“I don’t mind sending Ms. Jarvis home on your behalf, Mr. Morrison, seeing as you are so busy with work.” As if addressing the crowd was not enough, Lucian then slowed down his speech to ensure that every word of his was caught. “Just as well, too. I can drop by Ms. Jarvis’ to see my daughter.”Everybody present was stunned in an instant, with Sonya and Aubree appearing crestfallen.They had made arrangements for Lucian to attend the banquet with Aubree in an endeavor to spend romantic time
The abandoned Wife Fractured Ties: The Echoes of an Evening
For some reason, the atmosphere is never pleasant whenever Mr. Farwell spends time with Ms. Jarvis.“Mommy! You’re back!”As soon as Roxanne walked through the door, the three children greeted her with lovely smiles.It was the first time they saw Roxanne’s outfit. “You look so pretty tonight, Mommy,” Benny said sweetly.Roxanne’s mood improved when she saw the three children, and she beamed at his compliment. “Thank you, my dear.”Archie was about to add something when he saw another figure entering through the door.Though the corners of his mouth turned downward after he recognized the figure, he still politely greeted his guest, albeit somewhat distantly. “Hello, Mr. Farwell.”The sound of his brother’s voice drew Benny’s attention to the person behind his mother. A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes as he greeted the man obediently.Lucian nodded curtly to the two boys.Despite his claims of coming for Estella, Lucian’s gaze merely swept over the girl before landing on Roxa
The abandoned Wife Unexpected Events
Meanwhile, Aubrce had returned to the Pearson residence with her parents,The three retained a grim expression all along their way back.Upon stepping foot into the house, Aubrce kicked off the heels on her feet.Gina had wanted to comfort lier, but before she could, the latter already strode upstairs with a sullen look on her face.What followed next was an ear-shattering door slam.Looks like she’s really mad.Upstairs, Aubree clenched her fists tightly after slamming the door shut. She was trembling in rage as the voices of the crowd at the dinner party rang in her ears.You’d think that her marriage with Mr. Farwell is finally happening given how arrogant she is, but who knew…Didn’t the Pearson family rely on the Farwell family to get to where they are today? Just look at Mr. Farwell; I’m sure the Pearsons will have a hard time in the future!Alas, it was all for nothing after waiting for that long. Hah! What a joke!Ever since Lucian took Roxanne with him and left in front of ev

The abandoned Wife Lucian and Estella's Bonds
On the way to the Farwell residence, Estella puffed up her cheeks as she sat in the backseat. She stared at her father through the rearview mirror. “Daddy, did you make Ms. Jarvis angry again?”Lucian frowned slightly when he heard Estella’s soft and adorable voice.Estella caught on to the change in Lucian’s expression and knew that she had guessed correctly. She snorted angrily.She had thought that Lucian wanted to bring her to meet Roxanne.However, it turned out he had gone to create trouble for Roxanne instead.“I won’t listen to you anymore, Daddy!” Estella said gloomily.Lucian’s frown deepened. He patiently explained, “It’s because of work.”It’s this excuse again!Estella looked at the rearview mirror unhappily and said, “You only know how to lie to little kids, Daddy.”Lucian’s eye twitched in anger when he heard that.Estella continued listing out her grievances. “You also said that to me the previous time! Earlier tonight, you tricked me into bringing you to Ms. Jarvis t
The abandoned Wife Family Reunion
Lucian stared at Roxanne with a grim expression. Even if she did not say it out explicitly, he could tell that she was still being suspicious of him.Realizing that, Lucian’s expression darkened terribly, while the tone of his voice became colder.“Since you are refusing my offer, Ms. Jarvis, I won’t insist upon it anymore.”With that, he turned around and left the study.As she watched his retreating figure, Roxanne’s eyes glinted with an unfathomable emotion. Confusion filled her heart at that moment.Lucian’s words still left her wondering why he had decided to come all the way to see her in the first place.She wouldn’t believe his claim that he was merely here to provide the medicinal herbs.However, Lucian did not mention anything else besides that.Roxanne mulled over it in the study alone, but she could not find an answer to her doubts.After quite some time, she finally decided to leave the room.Meanwhile, the children had finished their dinner and were playing in the livin
The abandoned Wife Tensions Rise: A Confrontation of Suspicion and Intentions
Roxanne could feel Lucian’s heavy gaze on her back. Although her back was facing him, she still could not ignore the fact he was staring at her.Due to Lucian’s presence, she was no longer in the mood to eat anything.“You kids go ahead. I have something to discuss with Mr. Farwell,” said Roxanne softly after taking several quick bites and placing away her cutleries.She could not stand having Lucian staring at her all the time, and she wanted to know why he came to her place.The kids did not think too much about that and nodded obediently in response.Seeing that the kids had agreed to let her go, Roxanne stood up and walked over to Lucian. “Let’s talk in the study.”Lucian nodded casually and stood up, following her to the study.“Mr. Farwell, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you over at my place? Do you have something important to tell me?” Roxanne stood in the center of the study, looking at him warily. “If you’re here to offer me the technical advisor’s position for Her
The abandoned Wife Dinning With Lucian
That night, Lucian went to the kindergarten to pick Estella up. It was already late by the time he arrived, so Estella was the only kid left at the kindergarten.“Daddy,” Estella greeted him aggrievedly after noticing his arrival.He patted her head apologetically. “I’m sorry that I’m late.”Then, he looked up and nodded at Pippa.Pippa had waited with Estella the whole night. Now that Lucian had finally shown up, she could rest a*sured and let him take the little girl home.After bringing Estella into the car, Lucian sat idly for some time instead of starting the vehicle.Estella urged him in puzzlement, “Daddy?” Her voice pulled him back to reality.He glanced at the little girl through the rearview mirror and saw a bewildered expression spread across her face.“Have you seen Ms. Jarvis in the past few days?” he asked.Estella became crestfallen upon listening to his question and shook her head dejectedly.However, she quickly turned delighted. “Archie and Benny said I’ll be able t
The abandoned Wife Heartfelt Advice and Unspoken Resolves
Jonathan cleared his throat at Lucian’s lack of response.“I heard a fire broke out in Dr. Jarvis’ research institute two days ago.”Hearing that, Lucian snapped his brows together.Jonathan was satisfied to see his response. “What’s the matter? Did you not know about this?”Lucian nodded, his expression somber.He had not seen Roxanne since the kiss the other night.Therefore, he knew nothing of what happened to her.Although Estella would try to get news about Roxanne from Archie and Benny before telling her father what she learned, Lucian knew that Roxanne would not let the boys know that she had been in danger.Jonathan fell silent when he saw his friend’s grim expression, and he waited for Lucian to speak instead.“Was the fire a bad one? Was she hurt?” Lucian could not help but ask.Jonathan lifted a brow. “Won’t you know if you go and take a look at her?”At that, Lucian’s expression turned dark again.Jonathan was bewildered by that.What does this mean? Did they have a fight

When the a*sistant thought about how Jack had invested twelve billion in Herbscape Group, he found himself unable to continue speaking. Despite everything, twelve billion was a hefty sum.Even if Herbscape Group was a hot potato, keeping it around meant that they would be able to see where the twelve billion was going.If they threw the hot potato away, it would mean throwing the twelve billion into the gutters.“Do tell me how you’re planning to deal with this,” Jack urged with a frown.Jack’s voice snapped the a*sistant back to his senses, and he had no choice but to steel himself and continue.“If we keep Herbscape Group around, I’m afraid it’ll affect Damaris Group’s reputation, so…”Jack arched a brow.The a*sistant squeezed out, “So, the best way to deal with this is to cut ties with Herbscape Group as quickly as we can.”It’s even better if we do it before the news of Herbscape Group’s executives landing in jail spreads.That was what Jack thought as well, though his heart ach
The abandoned Wife Family Bonds
Only after hearing Colby’s response did Roxanne relax slightly. “I see. I’ll leave it to you, then. Feel free to come to me if you need anything,” she said.Colby agreed.Roxanne couldn’t help adding emotionally, “If you can find those medicinal herbs again, you’ll solve a huge problem for me.”Finally, Colby felt chirpy upon hearing Roxanne’s tone.Ever since Roxanne went to the research institute, she had been solving all kinds of problems on her own.She would only let him, the person in charge of the research institute, help her with trivial matters.Therefore, Colby knew that despite her praises, she had always only regarded him as an ordinary researcher at the research institute.After all, he was nothing compared to the men she had by her side.This time around, he was rather surprised at the fact that it didn’t take much to trick Roxanne into holding him in high regard.No one would’ve expected him to do so much just to create a distance between Roxanne and other men.

However, Colby had already locked the research institute up, so he couldn’t salvage the situation, even if he wanted to.That morning, he made the effort to arrive at the research institute to see if there was anything he could do to fix it.However, he was wrong when he thought he had arrived early enough. By the time he arrived at the entrance, the firefighters were already at the scene.Jason couldn’t help but slap himself twice across the face when he recalled the burnt storage and what Roxanne had said.“This is my fault, Dr. Jarvis. I’m so stupid!” Utterly embarra*sed, he asked, “Since I’ve come forward on my own, c-could you please let the matter slide? My son is still in the hospital…”Roxanne dug her fingers into her palms to force herself to stay calm. “That’s not up to me, Dr. Coleman.”“This matter is being investigated by the police. Jason, how could you be so foolish?”
The abandoned Wife The Desperation Pact
In the research area, the researchers had just regained their composure from the fire incident earlier and got back to work. When they saw two people walking in, they stopped what they were doing in unison.With a grim expression, Roxanne swept a glance at everyone and asked, “Did anyone come to the research institute yesterday afternoon?”Coincidentally, the surveillance cameras were down, so Roxanne could only a*sume that someone had gone over at that time.As soon as those words fell, everyone exchanged glances with each other silently. Yesterday was a Sunday. It was such a good opportunity to rest at home. So why would anyone come to the research institute without a reason? Besides, she’s asking questions that has something to do with the fire. Even if someone was here, why would they admit it?Suddenly, Roxanne was exuding a fearsome aura as she threw a cold glance at everyone. “I have no desire to suspect anyone here, nor can I think of a reason why an employee at the research
