The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1510

Chapter 1510

Aubree clenched her fists by her sides, her nails digging into her palms.

“Who said I'm asking for your help? Don't you realize that I'm threatening you?”

“Threatening me?” The amused look in Shawn's eyes intensified. “I don't think you're capable enough to threaten me with your current status.”

Aubree gritted her teeth. “If you refuse to help me, I'll make a police report! You'll be sent to jail for what you did to me that night!”

The lighthearted smirk that had been on Shawn's face moments earlier had vanished. His voice was low and menacing as he spoke. “If I was scared of the consequences, I wouldn't have done what I did that night. Do you have anything to back up your claims? Anything that could possibly be used against me?”

Aubree's lashes trembled imperceptibly when she heard that.

Evidence? I was planning on using him, so I didn't leave any traces behind.

Seeing her reaction, Shawn continued, “If you have nothing, I'd advise you to behave yourself. My interest in you was not due to any romantic inclination, but because of your prior relationship with Lucian. Had it not been for this connection, I doubt I would have found you particularly attractive.”

He held her chin with such force that her face contorted in pain. “If you want my help, you will ask me politely. Don't give me any attitude, or you will regret coming here tonight.”

With that, Shawn tossed her aside in disgust.

Frieda's heart sank when she saw his attitude doing one-eighty. She glanced at Aubree before suggesting tentatively, “Aubree, perhaps you should talk to him while I go and check on the status of the situation.”

Without waiting for a reply, she rushed out hastily, afraid of inviting unwanted trouble.

The butler entered his room at the same time.
