The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1903

Chapter 1903 Not Qualified To Participate

In the detention center of Baxrich at Horington, Elektra was calm as she mentally calculated the days that had passed. It'll be Roxanne's wedding day soon.

Roxanne, now that I'm here, I have no grudges against you. Thank you for making me understand the true meaning of love at the very last moment.

Love was considered the most expensive luxury item to humans. It did not matter whether one had an attractive figure or powerful status for one might not even get the chance to experience love.

Elektra was finally aware that Lucian was not the right person for her.

It didn't matter even if one ended with the wrong person. One should just continue to look for the right person instead.

Roxanne, I wish you a happy marriage from the bottom of my heart! I hope you will allow me to make things right in the future. Lucian and I would've remained as best friends if it weren't for my obsession with him.

A prison warden suddenly yelled, “Elektra, step out! The lawyer wants to see you!”

Her family had paid a lawyer handsomely to come up with ideas to ensure she could receive a suspended sentence instead.

However, Elektra was unbothered. She would rather stay in the detention center for some time.

That way, she could feel the filth in her heart slowly fade away.

At the same time, on a small battered fishing boat at the port of Horington, Christina glared at her bodyguard and hissed, “When will Mr. Goldstein come to take me back? I don't want to stay in hiding anymore! Is everything all right on my parents' side?”

The bodyguard was calm as he glanced at her. He was used to her arrogance and demands.

“Please wait a little longer. Mr. Goldstein is trying to come up with an appropriate arrangement to come over. He'll take you away if he arrives here without problems. As for your parents, everything is going well. It seems like Mr. Farwell isn't bothering them too much.”

Christina narrowed her eyes as she felt anger bubbling inside her.

How wretched! I can't believe such a perfect plan ended up failing! Lucian had many things to care for, so why was he so fixated on such a small detail?

I heard that Elektra turned herself in. How in the world did Roxanne bewitch her to do that? Ha! Is Elektra trying to turn over a new leaf? What a joke! A failure like her would never have the chance to do such a thing. It would be impossible!

But when I think about it, perhaps what Elektra did was a smart move. Such a strategic retreat could protect the Lane family. Otherwise, she would've ended up as I did before.

Christina's expression turned gloomy. It did not take long for her to start complaining about the dark and humid environment again.

It's no different from a mouse living in the sewers.

“Oh, right. Were you able to contact the person I told you about?” Christina suddenly asked.

The bodyguard hesitated momentarily before nodding and said, “We did, but the other party rejected the proposal.”

“What do you mean they rejected it?”

Christina was not one to give up. If Elektra failed, she could always find someone else to partner with to destroy Roxanne.

There could only be one winner between her and Roxanne, and she was determined to be the one who won.

She had chosen Lucian's competitor, Shawn Crawford from the north, to be her new partner. However, she did not expect to fail in getting him to work with her.

“Mr. Crawford asked his assistant to pass a message. He said that you shouldn't bother to try anything else. He would never collaborate with you. He even mentioned...” The bodyguard averted her gaze and hesitated to continue.

“Tell me. What else did he say?” Christina's brows knitted into a frown. She did not expect that Shawn would be so ungrateful.

If only Mr. Goldstein had revealed his identity to Shawn. Shawn would definitely agree in a heartbeat. After all, Mr. Goldstein can provide many business opportunities in Hawen for the Crawford family.

“Mr. Crawford also mentioned that if you continued to pester him, he would lock you up and send you to Lucian. He said you are not qualified to participate in his competition with Lucian.”

Christina's eyes widened when she heard that. Her face contorted in anger as she cursed, “Who the heck do the Crawford family think they are? They can't even be compared to Mr. Goldstein. Only he can go head-to-head with Lucian. D*mn it...”
