The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980 Excuse

Roxanne lowered her head at that thought. As long as I keep a distance from Essie and Lucian, Aubree and Sonya won’t come and bother me. If I get close to them, Aubree might do something even crazier.

Previously, Aubree had ruthlessly infected Estella with bacteria. Thinking about that alone, Roxanne felt a chill running down her spine.

“Have you tried thinking about it carefully during this period?” Lucian interrogated. He was quick to notice Roxanne’s strange attitude and tone. He refused to let her hang up on him just like that.

He had already spotted her behavior change at the campsite and had a hunch that she might be concealing something. There must be something fishy going on.

Meanwhile, his question caused Roxanne to feel a wave of turmoil within her. She persisted in not revealing anything, nonetheless.

“Mr. Farwell, didn’t you ask people to watch over me? If none of them find anything suspicious, it’s impossible for me to have anyone in mind.”

The crease between Lucian’s brows deepened. He stayed silent after hearing her words.

It’s because I sent someone to spy on Cory as well. That’s why Cory stops appearing around Roxanne. However, I didn’t find anything suspicious about him.

Roxanne remarked, “I don’t feel anything unusual during this time. Moreover, Estella is now back at your place. I think it’s safe for you to send your people away.”

After all, she had only agreed for Lucian to arrange for people to keep an eye out on them to ensure Estella’s safety.

Now that Estella had gone back, there was no need for that anymore.

Lucian wanted to reject her request instinctively, worried that Roxanne might get into danger if he dismissed the men around her.
