Roxanne knew that she would not be of any help even if she stuck around, so she did not insist on it and went into the car.
After watching them leave, Lucian led the remaining bodyguards into their respective cars.
Soon, the cars drove off.
Ophelia was blindfolded the entire way, and she found the silence in the car unnerving.
“I know I’m wrong now! I really do! Please spare me!” she begged as fear wrapped around her heart.
However, she received no answer from anyone.
A while later, the car slowed down, and Ophelia’s heart lurched into her throat.
She was so anxious she could barely breathe. Various scenes from television shows kept flashing across her mind.
With the Farwell family’s wealth and power, wiping her existence would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
The terror she felt reached its peak when someone came over with a rope.
After a sharp intake of breath, Ophelia passed out.
By the time she woke, she was already on the top floor of a building. Before her was a small helicopter.
“How was your sleep, Ms. Smith?” Lucian had a hand in his pocket as he looked down at her expressionlessly.
Ophelia shuddered. “W-What do you want?”
Lucian narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, “Who told you to do this?”
Ophelia parted her lips before clamping her mouth shut again. She fervently shook her head and said, “N-No one told me to do this. I was the one who wanted to do this.”
If she were to reveal the mastermind behind this, Aubree was certainly going to come after her even if she survived Lucian.
“Is that so?” Lucian stepped on her hand, his expression still the same. “Then, tell me, what grudge do you have against Roxanne?”
Ophelia collapsed on the ground, covered in sweat, as she said weakly, “I-I’ll tell you everything. It’s Aubree. It’s Aubree Pearson who made me do this! I won’t do this again…”
“Aubree Pearson,” Lucian said through gritted teeth, the veins on his neck popping. “It’s always her!”
This woman again! She nearly killed the children previously!
All of a sudden, a thought entered Lucian’s head, and he grabbed Ophelia’s collar. “Speak! Were you the one who hurt Benny the other time?”
Ophelia’s upper body was lifted into the air, and his grip on her collar made it hard for her to breathe. “It was… It was all Aubree’s orders. I-I won’t do this again!”
If she had known early on what kind of devil she was going to cross, she would not have agreed to take on Aubree’s task no matter how much money Aubree offered her.
“I’m sorry! I’ll go to jail! Please have mercy on me!” Ophelia pleaded.
She would rather go to jail than be tormented by that man.

GREAT! Chapter 1970 was actually a repeat of Chapter 1770! And the same up to 1976! Now Ive missed 6 chapters and no idea what is happening! Plus all those sections that are badly typed then typed again and then again correctly……what a waste of “chapters”....
Wish there was more to the story, like how the triplets end up and if the twins are as smart as their older siblings. Beautiful story 😊...
Very best book out there, full of surprises and true love. Recommend to all....
