Lucian said nothing and merely stared at her darkly. Suddenly, he bent down and swooped her up.Shocked, Roxanne instinctively clung to his neck, afraid she would fall to the ground.Her actions happened to play in Lucian’s favor. The violence in his gaze faded a little as he strode to the shore.Roxanne’s cheeks were flushed as she said, “Put me down. I can walk by myself now.”She knew she had scared him. He scooped her up in his arms because he was fearful that something similar would happen once more.Ignoring her protests, Lucian carried her to his car and helped her settle into the pa*senger seat. He retrieved his suit jacket from the backseat and draped it over her shoulders before taking his place behind the wheel.Noticing he was still mad at her, Roxanne felt utterly helpless. “Didn’t we come here to relax? That was just a tiny accident.”Lucian’s brows were still knitted together. Deep down, she let out a sigh and said coyly, “You promised to give me a handmade shell brace

Lucian took it with a neutral look. Cory did not intend to hide anything from Lucian. What he had given to Lucian was the camera he had used when he was working on Aubree’s case. Not only was there the evidence in it, but there were also the photos Aubree had asked him to take of Roxanne.After handing the camera to Lucian, Cory began waiting fearfully.Lucian went through the photos.The first photo was the photo Cory had deliberately selected for him—the photo where Aubree was putting the bacteria into the children’s drink.The background of the photo was the field where Roxanne had brought the children.Even though there were only a few photos, Lucian could see the ruthlessness and caution in Aubree’s eyes.Lucian narrowed his eyes. He guessed that Aubree had to have done more things than what these photos showed.He went through the other photos.Most of the photos were photos of Roxanne with Jack, as well as photos of him and Roxanne.Even though Roxanne had accepted him, and ev

When their appeal fell on deaf ears, the Pearsons were filled with despair. Sonya gave them the side-eye. “How dare you lie to me all these years? And now, you still have the cheek to beg for my forgiveness?”The three of them hung their heads, not daring to utter a single word.After a brief yet deathly silence, Sonya turned to leave. “You guys better pray hard!”Samuel finally got back up to his feet a long while later. As he stared at his daughter, who was still kneeling, a pained look flashed across his eyes. “You should leave the country.”Aubree raised her head the moment she heard those words.“That’s the only way out.” Samuel let out a long sigh. “You can save yourself by leaving. Otherwise, we’ll lose both you and our wealth!”A look of hesitation filled Aubree’s eyes.Leave the country… Would Lucian really let me off? More importantly, would he even give me the chance?As concerns filled her mind, Aubree just couldn’t agree to her father’s proposal.In the blink of an eye,

“Since you have trouble recalling, I’ll let Mr. Zaythrone remind you of them.” All Lucian felt when he saw her tears was disgust. “If he gets anything wrong, you’re welcome to correct him.” With that, he gave Cory a look to signal for him to begin.Acknowledging the cue, Cory cleared his throat and spoke. “Ms. Pearson hired me to keep an eye on Ms. Jarvis. She—”He had barely begun when Aubree lunged at him suddenly.“Shut up! I don’t know you! You’re a madman! I don’t know what you’re talking about. Go to hell!”Even though her outburst caught him off guard, the physical strength between them was just too great.The moment he regained his senses, Cory easily pushed her away from him. “Stop raving like a lunatic, you shrew!”Upon crashing to the ground, Aubree snarled, “You’ll suffer divine retribution for this! Do you think the Farwells will let you off just because you snitched on me?”Cory paid Aubree no heed as he turned to face Lucian and Roxanne with an ingratiating look.“Ms.

Estella, who had yet to calm down, almost burst into tears at the sight of Sonya. Seeing that, Roxanne quickly hugged Estella tightly. She then stood up to look at Sonya. “Mrs. Farwell, please don’t agitate her. Essie’s still emotionally unstable.”At the same time, Lucian walked over with a frown.He thought his mother had finally gotten a clear view of the situation after witnessing the way she had treated Aubree earlier.To his surprise, Sonya had gone looking for Roxanne for trouble after chasing Aubree away.“I’m just worried about my granddaughter. How is this agitating her emotions?”It had been an emotional day for Sonya. She failed to keep her emotions in check, which made her sound displeased when she uttered those words.When she finished saying that, she reached out to pull Estella out of Roxanne’s arms. “Come here, Essie. Let me see if there are any injuries on your body.”Panicking, Estella crawled up Roxanne’s shoulders. “Ahh! I want Mommy! I don’t want Grandma! No!”U
