The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 433

During his drive, Roxanne's scathing words continued to fill his mind.

He had thought that bringing Estella to see her would cause her heart to waver. Yet little did he expect her to be so stone-hearted.

Despite Essie's concern for her, she could still say something as harsh as not to bring Essie to see her anymore. Roxanne truly hates the sight of me.

When Lucian arrived at the office, his expression was as gloomy as ever.

“Mr. Farwell,” Cayden greeted respectfully. “Mr. Queen came by in the morning and is waiting in your office.”

Getting a grip of himself, Lucian nodded in acknowledgment before walking to his office with Cayden following closely behind.

The moment he stepped in, he saw Jonathan sitting languidly on the couch with some documents beside him.

At the sight of Lucian, Jonathan picked up the papers with a smile and took a seat opposite the former at his desk. With a raised brow, he inquired, “Why are you late today?”

Lucian furrowed his brows. “I dropped Estella off at the kindergarten.”

Jonathan nodded knowingly, then handed him the documents and began their discussion on the project.

Due to the two families' close relationship and the many happy collaborations they had previously shared, the two men managed to wrap up their discussion quickly.

Despite getting the conclusion he was looking for, Jonathan didn't leave at once. Instead, he shifted the topic over to Roxanne. “By the way, my contact in Summerbank has called me, saying that the partnership negotiations with Dr. Jarvis have been completed. From the looks of it, everything is proceeding smoothly.”

Jonathan was indirectly trying to claim credit from Lucian.

At the mention of Roxanne, Lucian couldn't help but think of her earlier words, which caused a gloomy expression to descend upon his face.

All this while, I have been responsible for liaising with the medicinal herb supplier from Summerbank. As for Roxanne, she will definitely not inform Lucian of the matter on her own accord.
