Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1849

Chapter 1849 Out Of Ideas

Elektra arrived aboard the cruise ship.

“The plan has failed. Sonya is determined to be a good mother-in-law and won't be suspecting Roxanne at all.” Looking dejected, Elektra awaited Christina's response.

Christina's face contorted with rage.

“Goddammit. Why did nothing happen to Sonya? She trusts Roxanne so much, doesn't she? Very well, then. We'll have to make Roxanne suspect her,” Christina said through gritted teeth, her voice laced with menace.

“I'm afraid that won't be easy to do. Your plan has alerted them. Lucian has since increased security around Roxanne.”

“What are you afraid of? We'll start with the children! I have nothing left to lose, anyway. I haven't been afraid of anything for a long time. It was my fault for not being cruel enough to wipe out the three little shits earlier! Everything would have been so much better now if I had!”

Elektra felt the hairs on her back stand on end from the cold gust of foreboding rushing to her scalp.

She suddenly realized what a grave mistake it was to work with Christina.

This woman holds a grudge. Nothing is beneath her at this point. If anything happens, she can just escape back to Hawen to be with her Mr. Goldstein.

Elektra's eyes darkened for a moment, which made Christina glare at her.

“What is it? Are you worried that I'll mess up?” Christina asked in a teasing tone.

Elektra remained composed. “You said we won't harm them directly. It seems that you're out of ideas.”

Christina's expression froze, but she quickly gathered herself. “Acting against the children is indeed rather idiotic. It's fine if you don't want to go along with it. We'll think of something else.”

That night, Roxanne finished the broth Sonya made and felt its warmth extend to her heart.

Emerging from the study, Lucian hugged her gently from the back.

“Please have your mother stop cooking for me, Lucian. I'm no longer in pain. Besides, she hasn't fully recovered yet.”
