The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1981

Chapter 1981 If You Apologize To Me Sincerely

Madilyn soon returned to her office with a pail full of water. Without hesitation, she poured the contents of the pail onto Christina's body, making sure to drench the latter completely.

“If killing isn't against the law, I would've poured a bucket of boiling molten iron on her,” Madilyn added. She glared at Christina viciously, waiting for the latter to regain consciousness.

Lucian and Roxanne waited with anticipation for her to stir, curious to find out how she would react to the situation.

A few seconds later, Christina's eyes fluttered open.

Confusion rippled across her expression and she spun around, her eyes widening when she noticed Lucian and Roxanne standing there. For a moment, her breath hitched in her throat.

A look of sheer panic crossed her face as she realized she was completely drenched. At once, she curled into a ball and retreated hastily. Conflicting emotions filled her gaze.

“It appears that you have outsmarted me, Mr. Farwell. Well, it's not surprising considering your intelligence was the trait that initially drew me to you.”

Christina's gaze was filled with intense loathing as she watched Roxanne holding tightly onto Lucian.

Nevertheless, Roxanne wasn't afraid of her gaze at all.

She discovered that Christina dared not meet Lucian's gaze.

It was obvious Christina was trying to provoke them, but Roxanne wasn't in the mood to talk to her.

It was simply not worth the time or energy to talk to someone like her.

Lucian ignored her and reached out to take Roxanne's hand affectionately.

Christina's pretentiousness crumbled upon that sight.
