Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1657

Chapter 1657 Regarding Himself Far Too Highly

A flash of hesitation flittered across Frieda's eyes.

But at the thought that Roxanne was an indispensable part of their subsequent plan, she ultimately relented, “Okay, got it. I'll go and ask him about it.”

Thereafter, Jonathan added, “Don't contact him anymore after the incident this time! Someone willing to help Aubree is definitely no decent man!”

Frieda was chagrined inwardly, but she still agreed docilely on the surface. Then, she spun on her heel and went upstairs.

When she returned to her room, she called the phone number Shawn gave her for the first time.

In no time, someone answered the call on the other end of the phone.

“Why did you call me at this hour, Ms. Queen? Are you missing me?”

Shawn's voice was incredibly suggestive.

Enthralled by his voice, Frieda fell into a trance for several seconds.

Following that, Shawn chuckled, his eyes sparkling with devious glee. “We truly have a telepathic connection.”

That caught Frieda off guard. “Huh? What do you mean?”

“I happened to be thinking of you, and you called me. What's that if not a telepathic connection?” Shawn teased.

Splotches of crimson slowly stained Frieda's face. She went silent for a few seconds before she finally succeeded in suppressing the shyness and delight within her. Feigning calmness, she stated, “I'm seeking you out for something important.”

Shawn's expression remained indifferent, but he sounded earnest beyond words. “What is it? As long as it's something to do with you, I'll definitely spare no effort.”

To him, it was truly a piece of cake to manipulate a naïve girl like Frieda.

When Frieda heard that, her heart fluttered once more. Her voice also softened considerably. “Roxanne has been poisoned, and no one is able to cure her for the time being. I'd like to ask whether you are acquainted with any skilled doctors.”
