The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1415

With that, the two women were considered to have completely fallen out with each other.

When Frieda stepped out of the Pearson residence, the smile on her face instantly vanished as a wave of regret and fury washed over her.

If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have gotten close to Aubree! Her family is now destitute, yet she refuses to let me go!

Her expression remained grim throughout the journey back to the Queen residence.

Worried about Frieda, Jonathan had been waiting for her in the living room.

His heart sank when he noticed the expression on her face as she entered the living room. “What happened? Did you and Aubree have a fight?”

If I’m not mistaken, Aubree and Frieda have always been on good terms with each other. Since Frieda went over to check on Aubree, they shouldn’t have fought. Or could my suspicion be right? Are they hiding something from me?

That thought weighed heavily on his heart, and he fixed Frieda with a penetrating gaze.

Frieda’s long-suppressed rage finally erupted after she heard her brother’s words of concern.

“It’s all your fault! We have been friends with the Pearsons for a long time, yet just as they landed in trouble, we pounced on them like hungry strays to get their assets for ourselves. If you were Aubree, wouldn’t you be upset?”

Jonathan knitted his brows. “You know nothing! Relationships have no place in the corporate world. Besides, the Pearsons were also unable to hold onto their assets. If we didn’t make a move, someone else would have done so!”

Her eyes widened. “Then just—”

Before she could say they should give someone else that chance, he interjected sternly, “Shut up! This concerns Queen Group, and I’ve already discussed it with the shareholders. There were no objections, and it was also an order from Lucian. Do you think we are more closely associated with the Farwell family or the Pearson family?”

Frieda’s pupils shrank at the mention of Lucian. A sense of fear overtook her, and her rage dissipated.
