The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1412

Frieda was ridden with regret as she stared at the phone screen.

If I knew Aubree would end up like this, I would have never listened to her!

Despite her regret, it was too late.

Frieda stood up slowly while holding her phone. Before leaving, she retrieved a bank card from the drawer out of caution.

“Where are you going?”

As soon as she left the bedroom, she immediately saw her brother, who had come out of the study.

Jonathan’s scrutinizing gaze was filled with suspicion.

Frieda plastered on a smile. “It’s nothing. I have stayed at home for too long, so I decided to go out.”

Jonathan didn’t give her the opportunity to lie, instead asking directly, “Are you going to meet Aubree?”

Frieda’s expression changed drastically as she didn’t expect her brother to see through her so quickly.

“You’re not allowed to go! You’re staying at home instead!”

Not only was Jonathan aware of Lucian’s prejudice against Aubree, but he also knew about Frieda’s relationship with Aubree.

As a result, he had to make sure Frieda had nothing to do with Aubree right now, or the Queen family would be implicated if Lucian were enraged.

Guilt filled Frieda’s heart, but she pretended to be calm and appeal to his emotions. “Jonathan, Aubree has been my friend for so long. I can’t just leave her when her family is at their lowest. We, girls, aren’t like you guys. We can’t just cut off ties with our friends immediately even if our families have conflicts with each other—”

Before she could finish her words, Jonathan interrupted her, somewhat upset, “What’s your relationship with her? You should stay away from this kind of woman!”
