The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1265

When Roxanne met Lucian’s gaze, the confidence in her eyes gradually started wavering.

A long moment passed before she dipped her eyes and agreed softly, “Okay, I’ll do it. What do you need me to do?”

During those few seconds when their eyes held, she searched the depths of her heart.

Perhaps she didn’t believe that Colby would do such a thing, but given a choice between him and Lucian, her heart would still be biased toward the man before her.

On top of that, the look in Lucian’s eyes was incredibly resolute.

Following her agreement, Lucian’s expression eased. He told her about his plan in a deep voice.

As Roxanne listened, she nodded thoughtfully.

“Will this really work? We don’t have concrete evidence.”

Truth be told, she was still a touch hesitant after listening to the man’s plan.

Lucian’s expression turned chilly. “As long as he was the one behind it, he would definitely feel guilty in such a situation. Even if not, he’ll be afraid of dying!”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne fell silent for a few seconds. Yet in the end, she still relented.

She took out her phone and gave Colby a call, informing him that she would be making a trip to the research institute tomorrow.

On the other end of the phone, Colby readily agreed without a trace of oddity in his voice.

After she had hung up the phone, doubts again surfaced within her.

If it was truly his doing, how could he have hidden it so well? Could it be that… we’ve really misunderstood him?

As though discerning the misgivings within her, Lucian lifted his hand and placed it on hers. His voice was calm and steady. “Trust me. If it really wasn’t him, you can also rest assured.”

Pursing her lips, Roxanne bobbed her head.
