The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2003

Chapter 2003 Are You Lying Again

Stunned by the response, Grant attempted to move his chapped lips, but all he could manage was a wry smile.

“Since you already know about it, I might as well come clean. It's true that I succumbed to my greed and took Mr. Crawford's bribe. His objective was to place me by your side to gather information,” Grant related the truth candidly.

“With that aim in mind, I divorced Winnie. Initially, the divorce wasn't meant to be genuine. Once I received enough money from Mr. Crawford, she would return to my side. Unfortunately, I was a fool...” Grant mumbled away.

Meanwhile, Lucian's brows knitted, for the last thing he wanted was to become Grant's agony uncle. He wasn't at all interested in what was on Grant's mind.

After all, it was Grant's decision to abandon Roxanne's mother and get together with Winnie. On top of that, he even brought two children into the family, causing Roxanne trauma that she would never heal from.

“Mr. Jarvis, there's no need to bring up the past anymore. Roxanne is well aware of your motives, so you had better not disturb our lives again. As for the children, I'll tell them that their granddad has gone overseas to set up a business.”

With that, Lucian turned to leave but was unexpectedly held back by Grant.

The latter was suddenly gripped by emotions, and he began trembling all over.

With a pleading look in his eyes, he said, “Lucian, I know that I have committed a terrible sin and don't deserve anything, but you have to trust me when I say that I have cut ties with Mr. Crawford. I have no way of paying back the money he gave me, so I'm currently in hiding. I have now lost everything and no longer want anything. However, Lucian, you have to tell Roxanne this—”

Losing patience with Grant's soliloquy, Lucian shoved the latter aside as he snapped, “I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in what you have to say. Please leave now before I ask my bodyguards to throw you out!”

He's sorry? He has repented? Aman like this will never know remorse!

Lucian quickened his pace, for he no longer wanted to hear Grant's voice again.
