Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Archie and Benny proceeded to compare Aubree with Roxanne from head to toe. In the end. they felt that she was all too far beneath their mother.

Daddy actually abandoned Mommy for that woman? How blind of him!

After inwardly disdaining him for a while, Archie suddenly remembered the conversation in the restaurant earlier. He leaned close to Roxanne and inquired, “Mommy, what did you mean when you said that the woman sabotaged you just now? Did she pick on you?”

Roxanne didn’t want to involve her two sons in the mess, so she denied it casually, “It’s nothing. It was just a work issue, and it has been resolved.”

No sooner had she said that than Archie’s determined voice rang out beside her ear.

“She did pick on you, then! What happened exactly? Hurry up and tell us, Mommy!” The boy’s petite face was stretched taut, and he frowned in an adult-like manner.

“Didn’t we promise each other that there can be no secrets between us, Mommy? You can’t lie to us!” Benny seconded.

Roxanne’s brows knitted together in exasperation.

She had almost forgotten that Archie and Benny were different from other children. Their intelligence quotient was ridiculously high.

In the face of their interrogative gazes, Roxanne finally broke down and told them about Aubree teaming up with the medicinal herb suppliers in Horington to boycott their research institute.

Upon hearing that she actually picked on their mother, Archie and Benny were so furious that their hands balled into fists. “That woman is simply too evil!”

“Everything’s fine now, so don’t do anything rash,” Roxanne urged.

Archie and Benny nodded docilely, but inwardly, they raged.

Once they were home, they seized the opportunity while Roxanne was bathing to sneak into the study.

Archie whispered something or other into his brother’s ear mysteriously. In the next heartbeat, Benny’s eyes lit up. He turned on his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Shortly after, he hacked into Pearson Group’s system.

When Roxanne came out after her bath, Archie and Benny had already slipped into bed innocently. They gazed at her with bright eyes, imploring her to tell them a bedtime story.

Early the next morning, Aubree was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
