The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1044

Chapter 1044 In Need Of Evidence

Lucian ordered in a cold voice, “You guys have one day to find out what happened and who dared to mess around near the Farwell residence!”

After hearing that, Axel agreed without hesitation and immediately led people to patrol nearby the residence.

The few hooligans who took money from Aubree received an order from her to stay around the area for the next few days to keep an eye out for the two children.

Aubree felt they would come again since they didn’t see Estella when they came the last time. As long as they dared to come, they wouldn’t be able to escape easily as they did.

The next morning, the security team of the Farwell residence surrounded the hooligans. “Please, we didn’t do anything!” The hooligans quickly squatted down while shielding their heads as they sensed the other party was not to be trifled with.

Axel looked at them coldly. “Did you people chase after two children yesterday?” They exchanged glances with each other, not daring to respond first.

These men in black attire were clearly after the people who harmed the children. The hooligans knew if they admitted they were the ones who attacked the children, they might not be able to leave safely.

“Didn’t you hear me?” Axel kicked one of them in displeasure. He didn’t use all his strength, but it was enough to intimidate them.

“I’ll talk!” the hooligan who got kicked immediately cried out as he shut his eyes. Then, he continued, “S-Someone paid us to do this! Otherwise, we would never have dared! Those two children looked like children from rich families. If someone hadn’t paid us, we wouldn’t dare to provoke them!”

After coming clean, he inched back into the group. “Sir, I’ve revealed everything. Please don’t give me a hard time…”

Axel frowned as he heard that and probed coldly, “Do you know the person who paid you? What does he look like?”

The hooligans shook their heads fervently and answered, “It’s a lady, but she covered herself fully. We couldn’t see her face at all.”

Looking at the tall man in black in front of them, the hooligans felt miserable.
