The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1499

The police responded efficiently, especially when it came to a matter related to the Farwell family. Investigations began that very night.

Once Ophelia woke up, Cayden brought her to the police station.

Traumatized by the evening’s events, she cooperated with the police by confessing and giving them all her phone records with Aubree.

Upon obtaining the evidence, the police began the hunt.

In a mansion on the outskirts of the city, Gina was tossing and turning on her bed at midnight.

Samuel reprimanded her, “What are you doing? Why aren’t you asleep at this hour? Our useless daughter has left. Do you plan on leaving with her?”

The distraught Gina carefully replied, “Don’t say that. Aubree’s still our daughter no matter what. Besides, didn’t you approve of her actions in the beginning? How can you now blame her when the plan has fallen apart? I wonder how she’s doing alone outside.” Gina rubbed her chest. “I can’t help worrying about her, and my eyelids won’t stop twitching—”

Her words were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door downstairs.

Gina was consequently startled by it.

Ever since they moved to the mansion, no one had ever visited them at midnight.

Given the secluded location and the fact that she was already on her nerves that night, Gina thought that it might be a ghost.

“I’ll go down and take a look.”

Samuel got out of bed vigilantly and looked out the window first.

The sight of the police car downstairs caused his expression to darken. Turning toward Gina, he barked, “Come downstairs with me.”

Afraid to stay alone, Gina hurriedly threw a jacket over herself before following Samuel down.
