The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1847

Chapter 1847 Jibe

That night, Shawn received a phone call from his family and endured a torrent of scolding for half an hour.

Coralie also wore a grim expression as she knew Shawn's failure to manage the company well would mean she had to return to the north and face those decrepit old folks again.

The northern climate was too dry and had deleterious effects on her skin.

Nevertheless, her mood remained upbeat because she had successfully invited Jonathan for a meetup.

Coralie had asked him out by using the excuse of wanting to reimburse him for the car damage, but he had rejected her flatly. Then, after a bit of coaxing, he finally agreed to let her treat him to a meal as an expression of her apology.

Through constant inquiries with Frieda, Coralie finally understood Jonathan's personality better. He was a relatively rigid person.

Regardless, she found his cool character to be attractive.

When Shawn exited his room, Frieda hurriedly served him a glass of coffee, not daring to say much as she worried that any attempt to comfort him might only upset him further.

“Shawn, it's just a few hundred million. There's no need for them to be so mad. I don't know what those old folks at home are thinking, fussing over this insignificant amount of money. Competing with Farwell Group is bound to involve losses. Didn't you also cause Lucian to lose money recently? This just proves that he's a worthy opponent.”

Coralie's consolation struck a chord and immediately calmed Shawn down.

Even his tense expression somewhat relaxed.

“You're right! Still, we can confirm Lucian is targeting us now. In that case, there's no need for us to be furtive anymore. We shall face him head-on. But I'm curious why those Epean clients are so hard to sway. Are they really that loyal to Lucian, or does he possess some dirt on them?”
