Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1656

Chapter 1656 That Man Is Capable

“Have you heard it all?”

Jonathan watched as Lucian's car disappeared from his line of sight before he whirled around and returned to the living room. With his eyes trained in the direction of the kitchen, he put that question forth in a deep voice.

Right then, the living room was empty, and Frieda was the only person in the kitchen.

Hence, it went without saying who that question was meant for.

Her heart clenching slightly, Frieda guiltily stepped out of the kitchen. “You knew I was here, Jonathan?”

Honestly speaking, Jonathan had already noticed her presence when he came downstairs earlier.

However, he was also aware of his sister's intentions, so he didn't expose her. On the contrary, he tried his best to divert Lucian's attention on several occasions the man nearly noticed her.

“You're not allowed to leak out a single word of the conversation between Lucian and me earlier! If I were to learn that you spoke of it to someone else, don't dream of getting involved in anything related to Queen Group anymore for the rest of your life!” he warned, a stern expression on his face.

Hearing that, Frieda bobbed her head hesitantly.

Jonathan eyed her with a frown, exasperation flooding him. He then painstakingly analyzed the pros and cons for her benefit.

“The interests of Queen Group and Farwell Group are closely linked together. If something were to happen to Farwell Group, Queen Group would similarly be affected. If others were to know that Lucian is currently being threatened and has no time to handle other things, they would seize the opportunity to attack Farwell Group. Consequently, Queen Group's interests would also suffer tremendously. I hope you understand that much.”

Guilt brimmed in Friede's eyes, but still, she steeled herself to continue denying it.

It wasn't until he mentioned Queen Group that Frieda sobered up. “Got it. I won't tell anyone about it.”

Jonathan stared at her for a long time.

Just when Frieda could no longer stand the probing scrutiny and wanted to beat a hasty retreat upstairs, Jonathan's voice rang out slowly.
