Jack lowered his gaze to look at the view outside the window before saying casually, “Damaris Group. I'm in my office.”
“All right. I'll head over now. Please prepare the antidote, Mr. Damaris,” Lucian answered unhesitatingly.
Right when Lucian was about to hang up the phone, Jack said, “Oh! I forgot to mention that Ms. Jarvis doesn't have much time left. If you want to make it here in time, you must arrive within twenty minutes.”
Lucian was already on the move, and he was walking when he said, “I'll make it in time.”
Even if Jack had only given him ten minutes, Lucian would still find a way to get there on time.
A frigid look flashed across Jack's eyes when he heard Lucian agreeing to it so willingly. He added, “By the way, the elevators in my company broke down a couple of days ago. You'll have to take the stairs later, Mr. Farwell. Remember that you must be here within twenty minutes!”
Lucian's expression turned solemn when he heard that. However, he wasted no time in agreeing, “Do you still have other requests, Mr. Damaris? If that's all, I'll be on my way.”
“I guess I shouldn't hold you up any longer. I'll wait for you on the top floor,” Jack said smugly.
With that, he hung up the phone.
While overlooking Horington, Jack imagined how disheveled Lucian would look as he climbed the stairs. He suddenly laughed out loud and said, “How dare you trick me, Lucian! I'm going to show you what it feels like to get toyed with! I'll make you endure your humiliation in silence like a lowly being.”
Kevin grew anxious when he saw Jack behaving like a maniac.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Abandoned Wife (Lucian)
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....
