The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 367

Alfred's expression was grim too.

Queen Group made a promise to an outsider because of him, but the promise couldn't be fulfilled. I can't believe I'm encountering this at my age. How humiliating! Besides, Roxanne was the one who saved my life!

“Find out who double-crossed me!” he declared furiously.

Seeing his fury, Roxanne immediately consoled him, “Old Mr. Queen, I'm relieved that it wasn't your order. Don't be mad, for I won't blame you. I just want to know what happened.”

Alfred took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before turning to Roxanne. “Even if they ignore this matter, I shall give you an explanation! I'm still alive. I shall find out who had the guts to ignore my order!”

Roxanne bobbed her head profusely. She was about to spill the truth about Farwell Group but changed her mind.

Looks like Farwell Group didn't tell the Queen family about it. At least Jonathan and Old Mr. Queen know nothing about it. If I mention it right now, I'm afraid they will change their mind as they have to consider their relationship with Farwell Group. Fortunately, I was tactful enough. Moreover, Jonathan and Old Mr. Queen didn't press on.

Lunch wasn't a pleasant affair because of the incident.

After lunch, Roxanne bade goodbye to them hastily and made a beeline for the research institute.

Colby had just walked out of the research facility when he spotted her. He came over to her and asked, “What happened? What did the Queen family say?”

Roxanne was much more relaxed then. “It must be a misunderstanding. Mr. Queen promised to investigate the matter, so let's wait for them. They will resume supplying us the medicinal herbs that we need after the investigation ends.”

Colby remained dubious. “The investigation will take time. Aren't you afraid it is just an excuse that they made up?”

Sonya wants me to leave Horington, but she doesn't know I came to Horington for the research institute. There's no way I'll allow the research institute to land in trouble because of me and leave Horington without looking back. I've solved the medicinal herb supply problem for now. What will Sonya do next? She has blocked my number, so I can't even contact her to negotiate with her.
