The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 921

Chapter 921 An Apology

Upon sensing Lucian’s anger, Roxanne blinked and avoided his gaze guiltily. “If it isn’t because of this matter, then what else are you here for, Mr. Farwell?” she asked.

Lucian glanced at her gloomily. He only visited her as per Jonathan’s suggestion—to provide help during a crisis.

However, her icy attitude toward him made him unwilling to tell her the truth. The study was filled with dreadful silence immediately. Roxanne’s heart became heavier.

After a while, she could no longer bear the deafening silence. She lowered her gaze and said, “If there’s nothing else, let’s head out. The kids have been waiting for a long while.”

Having said that, Roxanne walked around Lucian to leave. Shortly after taking a step, however, her wrist was grabbed by the man’s large hand.

Roxanne had no choice but to stop and frown at Lucian. What is wrong with him? He won’t tell me what’s the matter, and he won’t let me leave as well. What does he want?

Roxanne really didn’t know what he was thinking about, so she swung her arm impatiently in an attempt to free herself from his grip.

“According to my intel, the fire that happened at the research institute destroyed the medicinal herbs you took from Herbscape Group,” Lucian said in a deep voice after spending a long while regulating his fury.

Hearing that, Roxanne stopped struggling as the suspicion in her heart rose again.

How can he be so clear about what had happened if it wasn’t his doing? However, since he has explained his side of the story, I can’t openly express my doubts.

Roxanne lowered her gaze to hide her thoughts and asked faintly, “So what if that’s true? What does it have to do with you, Mr. Farwell?”
