The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 277

The second Lucian left the hotel, he rushed toward the forest. He called Cayden while he was on his way.

“Have the men pay extra attention. Roxanne has gone into the forest.”

On the other end of the line, Cayden murmured an affirmative reply. He was impressed with how much Roxanne cared about Estella. It's so late at night, yet she still went into the forest to look for Ms. Estella.

After hanging up the phone, Lucian heard a voice filled with fear.

“Lucian, any news on Essie?”

Aubree had searched nearby but to no avail. As she was too scared to go into the forest, she returned to the hotel instead. To her surprise, she saw Lucian at the entrance and was overwhelmed with guilt.

Lucian put his phone away and glared at Aubree when he heard her voice.

All he saw was her in a red dress that was still clean. There was not even a drop of sweat on her face. Her breathing was a little uneven, but it was possible that was just because she was scared of him.

Aubree's heart clenched when she looked into Lucian's eyes, which were burning with rage. “I've searched all afternoon but couldn't find her anywhere. How did the search go on your side?”

“Essie went missing because she left to look for Roxanne. That is what you told Roxanne, isn't it?” Lucian replied with a question of his own.

Aubree's face stiffened and panic was written all over it.

H-How did Lucian know about this?

Lucian got his answer when he saw the look on her face. “You better pray that nothing happens to them. Otherwise, I won't show you any mercy despite the years we've known each other.”

With that, Lucian walked past her and left.

“It is your fault!” Lucian shook her hand off. “Leave if have no intention of searching for Essie. Stop wasting my time.”
