The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1504

Chapter 1504

Although Aubree did not admit to it directly, her apology could be considered an indirect confirmation that she had instigated Ophelia's actions.

Utterly disappointed, Sonya said flatly, “How could I have trusted someone as heartless as you all these years?”

Hearing the indifference in her voice, Aubree quickly explained, “I swear that's the only thing I lied to you about, and it was because I was too madly in love with Lucian! You understand that, don't you? I promise I'll never do it again.”

Sonya was infuriated by her words. “That's the only thing you lied about? You don't think that's enough, do you? You nearly killed my granddaughter!”

Although they were only speaking over the phone, a shiver ran down Aubree's spine. She began sobbing even harder. “I was wrong! I'll even prostrate myself and apologize to Essie if you want. Please forgive me this time! Have you forgotten? You said you'd only acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law. I won't marry Lucian anymore, so please ask him to show me mercy.”

Sonya was already fuming over the fact that Aubree had deceived her. However, seeing that the latter had dared to bring up what she had said in the past, she was absolutely livid. “Get over here and apologize to Essie, then!”

All of a sudden, Aubree fell silent. Get on my hands and knees before that little kid and apologize? How can I do that? Besides, won't Lucian know if I go back there? Where will I run then?

The silence caused Sonya's voice to turn even icier as she said, “I'm giving you one last chance. Come back and explain everything clearly to my face. If you don't even have the guts to meet me, there's nothing left for us to say.”
