The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2002

Chapter 2002 A Stern Warning

Upon leaving the research institute, Roxanne and Lucian went to pick up the children from school.

When the school's management saw the two of them, they seized the opportunity to sincerely apologize for what happened.

From their explanation, Lucian and Roxanne learned that the vice principal who was bribed by Dave had been sacked.

Moreover, the four students who bullied Archie and Benny were also asked to leave the school.

On top of that, the school was reevaluating its disciplinary policies to prevent a repeat of similar incidents.

In the end, Lucian and Roxanne accepted their apology begrudgingly. They didn't want to burn any bridges, as the school did provide a conducive learning environment for the children.

Finally, they returned to the manor with the children after declining an invitation to dinner from the school management.

Arriving at the gate, they were greeted by the sight of Grant pacing back and forth.

He looked weary as he moved around awkwardly.

Yet Roxanne—utterly disappointed with him—no longer fell for the pitiful charade he had put on.

“Mommy, is that Granddad?” Estella asked upon recognizing him.

Lucian's gaze shifted to his wife as if to ask her if they should stop.

At the same time, Archie and Benny stared out the window, wondering what their grandfather wanted.

Nonetheless, Roxanne shook her head in response.

She no longer wanted to be tricked again.

Lucian replied to the children, “We'll be heading home first. If there's anything your granddad needs, I'll deal with it later.”

Meanwhile, Grant raised his gaze and gave the car a complicated look.

"Lucian... I... There's something I want to tell you.” Grant's lips twitched as he spoke in a helpless tone.

The surprised Lucian furrowed his brows. Who gave him permission to address me that liberally?

“Mr. Jarvis, I believe you have made a mistake. If money is what you need, you should be speaking to Mr. Crawford!” Lucian's eyes narrowed.

There was no need for him to conceal the fact that Grant was secretly working with Jonas.

"Is the millions given by Mr. Crawford not enough? How much money do you really want?” Lucian flashed a smirk as he waited for Grant's reaction.

Finally, the panic in Grant's eyes began to show. “Y-You knew about it?”

“There's nothing in Horington that gets past me, so drop your pathetic charade already. Now that the children have acknowledged you as their granddad, you had better not show your face here ever again!”

The threatening tone in Lucian's voice was unmistakable.
