The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045 The Answer Is Clear

Roxanne was changing Archie and Benny’s dressing when her phone suddenly rang. When the boys saw the caller ID on the screen, their eyes lit up.

In contrast, Roxanne’s eyes dimmed. The only matter she had with Lucian at the moment was the matter of the boys’ injuries.

If nothing else had happened, Lucian had to be calling because he found something regarding the incident. I wonder if he has found out who the culprit is yet.

“Mommy,” Benny urged. “Mr. Farwell is calling!” Roxanne came back to her senses and smiled at the boys. “Mhm. I’m going upstairs to take the call. Be careful of your wounds, okay?”

The boys were disappointed to hear that Roxanne was not going to take the call while they were in hearing range. Nevertheless, Roxanne did not notice their looks of disappointment as she went upstairs and into the study.

“I’ve looked into the matter, and indeed, someone bribed them. However, I still haven’t found who that someone is,” Lucian said just as Roxanne picked up the call.

Roxanne turned grim upon hearing that. “Have you not found out who it is, or do you not want to tell me the identity of the culprit?”

She guessed that it was Aubree, and she did not believe that Lucian would not be able to find a single clue pointing toward Aubree’s involvement after such a long time of investigating.

Lucian frowned. “What do you mean, Ms. Jarvis? I told you that I’d look into this properly for Archie and Benny. If I had found out who was behind this, why would I hide the identity of the person from you?”

Roxanne sneered. “What if that person is Aubree Pearson, your fiancée? There’s nothing I can do if you want to cover up for her.”

Lucian froze.

In a mocking tone, Roxanne went on, “Mr. Farwell, are you saying that you still have no leads on who drugged the kids the other time?”
