The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 842

Chapter 842 I Do Not Care What It Takes

Lucian’s end of the line was so silent that his breathing was clearly audible.

“Lucian?” Puzzled at not getting any response even after waiting for a while, Jonathan called out Lucian’s name. He started feeling tensed, thinking that his actions had drawn Lucian’s displeasure.

There was another long pause before a low voice said, “You’re responsible for the online furor I’m seeing, aren’t you?” Lucian’s tone was impassive.

Jonathan pondered for several seconds before admitting frankly, “That was the easiest and quickest method that came to my mind. As long as Herbscape Group’s reputation gets dragged through the mud, they may even end up approaching us, begging for an acquisition.”

That response is not in keeping with Jonathan’s usually free-and-easy demeanor, yet it’s unsurprising. He has put in a lot of effort to get to where he is today and helped his family gain a solid footing in Horington’s business world. Apart from Damaris Group, they’re the only other family that’s so powerful. To become a successful businessperson, resorting to despicable means is sometimes necessary.

Lucian frowned slightly after hearing Jonathan admit to it. A strange feeling flitted across his heart, and his thoughts inadvertently turned to Roxanne.

Even though I want to teach her a lesson, this seems like a big mess that could send all the earlier effort she put into being part of this project down the drain.

In the end, Lucian was still hesitant. He simply could not bring himself to be cruel to her.

Meanwhile, uneasiness gradually rose in Jonathan’s heart. “Are you thinking that my methods are a little deplorable?”

After all, I’m working for Farwell Group now, and Herbscape Group will have to rely on us in the future. For Farwell Group, such underhanded methods are shameful indeed.
