“Not even tens of billions will mean anything to me, let alone millions! Do you understand that, Elektra Lane?” Christina gritted out, the hatred palpitating in her words. “If I really cared about money, I wouldn't have been a fool back then. I would've relented. You're not even as good as me. I didn't care about anything if it meant getting Lucian's love. You, on the other hand, are wavering for such a small amount of money. You're weak, Elektra! Your so-called love is simply not real. How can someone like you be worthy of having Lucian?”
Every one of Christina's words was a devastating blow to Elektra.
Elektra was shaking by then. She wanted to hurl retorts, but she could not find the words to do that.
Sure enough, it was just like what Christina had said. Upon getting a taste of a successful career, Elektra started to console herself and let go of her obsession with Lucian.
For a long while, Elektra was silent.
She had no other options. She had fallen right into Christina's trap.
“You still have a chance now. If you take down Roxanne, you may not have the opportunity to win Lucian's love, but you will still be able to take control of the cosmeceutical company. Do you understand what I mean?” Christina tempted.
Elektra froze, her resolve faltering.
If she could take control of the research team, she would be able to continue developing new products even without Roxanne.
However, that meant she would be making Lucian her enemy. How was the Lane family going to hold up against Lucian?
Elektra's emotions were fluctuating rapidly, like a rollercoaster ride.
She calmed down again, but what was the point of that?
She did not have the freedom of choice. She was almost certain that Christina was recording that call as well.
If Christina were to send evidence of Elektra's contact with her to Lucian, she would also get on Lucian's bad side.

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....
