The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2071

Chapter 2071 A Frantic Escape

"Mom, someone must have followed the car that has just left. With Lucian's influence in Horington, I'm afraid we'll have a hard time leaving the mansion." Yuliana stood by the window and gently drew the curtain open with her fingers to observe the neighborhood.

The surrounding was exceptionally quiet.

Yuliana was certain that they were being watched closely from the rooftops of the neighboring mansions.

She had dispatched two private investigators in a car, not to search for the heirloom, but to distract Lucian from his plan.

She picked up her phone and made a call. "It's time for you guys to depart!"

In the courtyard, the headlights of another vehicle, which belonged to Yosef, were turned on, and the other two investigators were seated inside. They were about to make a trip to the airport.

Yuliana believed the two cars were heading to the exact locations that Lucian had anticipated and that those two locations must be the primary focus of their pursuit.

Sure enough, not long after they set off, the private investigator reported, "Ms. Yuliana, someone is following us."

"Ignore them. Try to take a longer route around the city and keep an eye out for the flight departing at ten tonight," Yuliana ordered.

In the common area upstairs, she turned to Yosef and nodded.

Yosef had shed his lazy demeanor after being warned that if they failed to escape, he might lose not only his arm but turn into a cripple.

The thought of this frightened him deeply. How am I supposed to play poker if I'm paralyzed?

However, he still had no idea why his mother said he was involved in poisoning Roxanne's mother. I was only five at that time. What could I have done?

Despite his doubts, Yosef decided to act according to Yuliana's plan. He turned off all the lights upstairs, causing the entire common area to plunge into darkness.

In total darkness, the three of them then quietly made their way down, carrying only their identity cards and wrapping themselves tightly in their clothes.
