The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1461
“H–How dare you?!” Seth shouted out.
After that, Seth seemed to think of something as he said harshly, “Brat, I’m warning you. I’m the heir of the Golans. If you dare to harm me, our family will not let off!”
you
“I don’t know if your family will let me off or not, but at this moment, I have no plans to let you off!” Leon sniffed, not feeling threatened by Seth at all.
He was always a principled person. Normally, he would never hold too much of a grudge as long as the other party did not cross the line or was willing to admit to their mistakes.
However, when it came to people like Seth who did not have a shred of honor within them at all, he would never show any mercy!
“Mister Wolf, please wait!” Raphael hastily stopped Leon when he saw that Leon was prepared to strike Seth.
“Mister Westwood, what is it?” Leon looked at Raphael closely.
“Mister Wolf, you might not know this, but the Golans are one of the well–known ancient martial arts families in the Southern region. They are very wealthy and powerful, and they are connected to many other ancient martial arts families as well. They shouldn’t be messed around with! I think that you should just forget about this since you’ve already injured Seth!” Raphael hurriedly advised.
The Scammells and the Westwoods were just ordinary ancient arts families, but the Golans were already in the Southern region for centuries. They were very influential and even used an Advanced Power method!
Methods were the foundations of martial arts. Even though Advanced Power Methods were only one step. away from Basic Power methods, there was a huge gulf between them!
Both the Scammells and the Westwoods only used Basic Power Class Methods. Normally, it could get a martial artist to the initial Emperor State, but it was incredibly hard to get any further!
However, the Golans were different. The Golans used an Advanced Power method. Many of the older martial artists in the family were already at the advanced or even peak Emperor State! They were much more. powerful than ordinary martial arts families!
The Westwoods were only able to fight the Golans on the business field thanks to the help of the Thompsons!
Even so, Raphael still needed to be wary of Seth. That was why he did not want to face Seth head–on earlier!
On the other hand, based on what he knew, Leon was not even related to the Scammells by blood!
If Leon broke Seth’s legs and provoked revenge from the Golans, Leon would not be able to get off unscathed!
“So, the Golans are that strong.”
Leon was quite shocked after he heard that.
The Overlord State was a huge hurdle in a martial artist’s training. It was incredibly difficult to exceed it!
Before that, he was confused. Seth, Raphael, and Willie were all considered to excel in their generation, but Seth was far stronger than Raphael and Willie, already managing to get to the Overlord State!
He finally understood that it was because Seth was using an Advanced Power method. He trained much faster than Raphael and WIllie could!
It was no wonder Seth managed to easily reach the Overlord State!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1462
“Brat, are you scared now? I’ll give you one last chance. If you know your place, then hand over that pearl. After that, break one of your arms and apologize. I’ll consider sparing your life then! If you don’t, then the Golans will bury you alive!”
When he saw that Leon fell silent, Seth assumed that Leon was afraid of this family. So, he suddenly regained his spirit and his earlier arrogance!
“Afraid? Your tiny family isn’t worthy of making me feel afraid! I’ll be breaking your legs today. No one can save you!” Leon said coldly. After that, he wasted no time kicking at Seth’s legs viciously.
“No!” Seth was completely terrified.
He never expected Leon to not be afraid of his family’s name and power at all. On top of that, he was heavily injured. He had no way of avoiding the attack. All he could do was stare as Leon attacked him.
“Brat, don’t think we’ll let you do that!”
At that moment, Seth’s guards immediately started to attack Leon from the back, trying to force Leon to give up on attacking Seth.
Leon ignored the guards behind him as he viciously struck Seth’s leg.
Crack!
The clear sound of bone cracking could be heard. Seth let out a shriek as his leg was snapped by Leon just like
that. He immediately collapsed on the ground.
At the same time, Leon turned around and struck out with both his fists, using Double Attack at the same
time at the two guards.
The two guards were merely there to accompany Seth. They were not experts from the family. They were only Advanced Supreme Masters, which meant they were no match for Leon at all!
Bang! Bang!
With two intense strikes, the two guards were sent flying several meters away, falling to the ground unable to fight anymore!
“Brat, just you wait. After today, I’ll make sure to rip you apart,” Seth clenched his teeth at the pain coming from his legs as he looked at Leon with venomous hatred.
“Please!” Leon scoffed, kicking Seth on the other leg.
Crack!
The clear sound of bone cracking was heard once again. Seth was in immense pain as he fainted on the spot.
“T–this guy is so vicious!”
The scions around them looked horrified as they witnessed what happened.
They knew of the wealth and power of the Golans. They never expected Leon to be daring enough to break Seth’s legs!
It deeply shocked them to the core.
That was not all!
They dreamed about taking the treasure from Leon’s hands. Yet, the immense skill Leon showed, as well as Leon’s ruthlessness, completely shook them!
Most of them completely forgot about taking Leon’s treasure away. They did not want to follow Seth’s fate!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1463
“Leon, you’re acting too recklessly!”
Raphael walked over with a face full of worry.
He knew very well that, if Leon just injured Seth, then the Golans would not have simply interfered in a fight between the younger generation due to their reputation and honor, as well as the rules of the martial world.
Yet, Leon broke Seth’s legs. It was just too harsh. It was a direct insult to the Golans. They would not let it sit that easily!
Leon was not that closely related to the Scammells either. It would be a complete pipe dream for him to go against the might of the Golans!
However, it was good that he was the only person to know who Leon was at that moment, the others who were present, including Seth, did not know of Leon’s true origins!
Even more so was the fact that he only referred to Leon as Mister Wolf the whole time, Seth probably did not even know Leon’s real name!
As long as he kept it a secret and never exposed Leon’s identity, then the Golans would probably not be able to find Leon in the Southern region that quickly!
That was the only thing he could do for Leon!
“Mister Westwood, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing!” Leon smiled calmly, not feeling like the Golans were significant at all.
Even though he was still too weak to go against the Golans, he was not someone who could be bullied just like that!
Before he left Springfield City, he was invited to join the Dragon Corps!
With that identity with him, the Golans were nothing!
Of course, the Dragon Corp was responsible for justice. They could not do whatever they wanted. So, he always remembered the Master’s lessons, and never used his identity as someone from the Dragon Corp against anyone else!
Of course, if any major families decided their honor and tried to push him down, the Dragon Corp would not let it rest!
Furthermore, he had many trump cards to protect himself. If the Golans were going to be as arrogant as Seth, then he would not let them get out unscathed!
“Alright, let’s just leave for now,” Raphael said with a sigh.
He did not know where Leon got all that confidence, so he assumed that Leon was just too ignorant to know the danger he was in. After that, he tugged Leon’s arm and prepared to leave the black market in case anything else happened.
“Yes, let’s go!”
With the treasure in hand, Leon had no reason to stay anymore. He and Raphael walked out of the place.
“You can leave if you want, but that pearl is staying!”
At that moment, they suddenly heard the Black Gorilla’s voice. After that, his four subordinates immediately cut Leon and Raphael off with a wave of his hand.
“Black Gorilla, what is the meaning of this?” Raphael’s expression sank as he looked over.
“It’s simple, I’ve taken a fancy to that pearl! If you know what’s good for you, then just hand it over. Otherwise, you’ll suffer the consequences!” The Black Gorilla laughed arrogantly.
“What? Are you trying to steal Mister Wolf’s treasure as well?” Raphael’s expression changed at that, not expecting the Black Gorilla to interfere at all.
“So what if I am?!”
The man crossed his arms and adopted a look of superiority as if he was definitely going to have what he wanted.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1464
“Black Gorilla, the underworld has its own rules! You’re in charge of the black market, and you’re someone famous in the underworld, but you’re ignoring your honor to steal from Mister Wolf, who’s from the younger generation! Aren’t you worried you’re going to be laughed at?!” Raphael said coldly.
“That-”
The Black Gorilla’s smile stiffened and he found himself unable to say anything in his defense.
However, he was already quite an experienced man, and he quickly reacted.
“Raphael, that pearl was meant to be sold to the black market in the first place. This guy just cut us off before we bought it! I’m just having him return the pearl to us! How could you call this stealing?!” The Black Gorilla insisted.
“What a load of nonsense! That pearl was meant to be sold to the black market, but you already clearly stated you didn’t want it! What’s wrong with Mister Wolf buying something the black market doesn’t want?! “Raphael said without holding back.
“Of course it’s wrong! I didn’t want it just now, but I want it now! In the end, I’m taking this pearl today no matter what!” The Black Gorilla said.
“You!”
Raphael was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
“Black Gorilla, don’t think you can do whatever you want!”
At that moment, Leon stepped forward with a cold look on his face.
“So what if I do?! Bra,t I’ll give you one last chance. If you hand the pearl over right now, I’ll let you leave this place safely! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing you any mercy!” He said.
“And what if I refuse?” Leon felt incredibly frustrated.
When he was in Springfield City, he interacted with the underworld quite a lot. Other than Harold, who was scheming and conniving, most of them were quite honorable.
Yet, the Black Gorilla first used the jade carving to set up a scam, and was later trying to steal his Spiritual
Pearl!
That was not honorable at all. He was acting even more despicable than Harold!
“Brat, you asked for it! Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!”
The Black Gorilla had a cold glint in his eyes. After that, he wasted no more time as he summoned up intense power to attack Leon.
“T–The Emperor State!”
Leon was shocked when he felt the energy within the Black Gorilla’s attack.
He immediately tried to retreat without any delay to avoid the attack.
Yet, his opponent was just too much stronger than he was. Even if he reacted very quickly, he was not able to completely avoid the attack.
With a massive explosion, Leon’s chest was hit by the energy. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying a few meters, collapsing on the ground.
Thankfully, he had the Mirror of Sovereign around his chest. It stopped quite a bit of the attack. Otherwise, he would probably have died or been crippled by that immense power!

“How strong!”
Leon clutched his chest as he forced the pain back and stood up. However, he looked shocked.
Even though Raphael told him before that the Black Gorilla was a subordinate of the Southern Boss that could not be trifled with, Leon thought that the Black Gorilla would not be able to do anything to him with all his trump cards!
Yet, he finally realized that the man was at the Emperor State!
No wonder Seth forcibly swallowed the bitterness of being tricked instead of fighting against the Black Gorilla!
“Brat, you’re still able to stand up after taking my attack. I guess you’re quite lucky! However, you’re at the end of your luck. Take another strike!”
The Black Gorilla was surprised to see that Leon was not heavily injured. He thought that it was just because Leon was lucky, so he did not think about it too much.
Right after that, he continued to attack Leon, preparing to get rid of Leon and take the pearl for himself! “Despicable! Black Gorilla, you forced me!” Leon said coldly. There was a cold and murderous glint in his eyes.
His opponent was just too strong. Leon could not defeat the man!
Since that was the case, he would have to rely on Master Haslewood’s gift!
Yet, he only had two of them left. Each one was incredibly precious.
The Black Gorilla was only at the initial Emperor State, it was a waste!
Of course, facing certain death, there was no way he could care about any wastage!
“Hold it!”
Just as Leon was preparing for it, Raphael suddenly stood in front of him, stopping the Black Gorilla.
“Raphael, what do you want? I’m warning you. Get lost right now, or I won’t hold back!”
The Black Gorilla’s face sank unhappily, but he still pulled back his energy and stopped the attack.
The Westwoods were just a regular ancient martial arts family, with his status as well as the Southern Boss. behind him, he did not care about them at all!
However, he knew that the Westwoods were closely tied to the Thompsons. With the Thompsons‘ influence and power, as well as the fact that he was from an older generation, he could not attack Raphael too easily.
Otherwise, it would do him no good to anger the Thompsons!
“Black Gorilla, Mister Wolf is a guess I invited over. I won’t let you attack him like that! If you want to steal his treasure, then you’ll need to get through me first!” Raphael said firmly.
“You!”
The Black Gorilla was furious. He was about to say something, but he was quickly interrupted by Leon.
“Mister Westwood, thank you so much for your help! Don’t worry, he’s just at the initial Emperor State, he won’t be able to do anything to me! Just let him through. I’ll make sure to get rid of this despicable man today!” Leon said coldly.
He was not able to control Master Haslewood’s gift. He was worried he would injure Raphael with Raphael right in front of him, so he was a bit apprehensive. All he could do was advise Raphael to leave!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1466
“What? Mister Wolf, did you go crazy?!” Raphael was stunned, not believing his ears.
He just witnessed the Black Gorilla injuring Leon so casually. It was obvious that Leon was no match for the man at all!
Yet, something seemed to be wrong with Leon. Even clearly knowing that he was no match, Leon wanted to face the man head–on!
Was that not suicide?!
Of course, he was not the only one who was shocked. The remaining scions around the place were two. All of them looked at Leon like an idiot, not knowing where Leon got the courage to challenge someone at the Emperor State!
“What an arrogant brat! Let’s see how you plan on getting rid of me!” Black Gorilla was completely angered by Leon’s words.
“Mister Wolf, don’t be stubborn! Please believe in me. I brought you to the black market, I’ll make sure you’re safely escorted out. I’ll make sure I fulfill my promise!”
As he said that, Raphael looked at the Black Gorilla and said coldly, “Black Gorilla, I don’t mind telling you that Mister Wolf’s treasure is very useful to the Thompsons! If you retreat right now, I can act as if nothing happened. Otherwise, I’ll make sure the Thompsons will deal with the black market after this!”
“The Thompsons? Raphael, don’t use the Thompsons to threaten me. Others might be afraid of them, but the southern Boss isn’t! I’m warning you. If you don’t give way, then I won’t hold back against you!” The Black Gorilla said coldly. After that, he summoned up his true energy in secret, planning on attacking Raphael and Leon at any moment.
As for the Thompsons, he had the Southern Boss behind him anyway. As long as he did not threaten Raphael’s life, then the Thompsons would probably not be able to touch him!
“You!” Raphael’s expression soured.
He never expected the Black Gorilla to not even care about the Thompsons for the sake of the treasure!
Suddenly, he did not know what to do.
“Who dares to look down on the Thompsons?! How arrogant!” At that moment, a cold voice was heard.
Right after that, a man about thirty years of age walked in with an incredibly impressive aura flanked by two guards.
The young man was the heir of the Thompsons, Yuri Thompsons!
The Thompsons were one of the major families of the Southern region and were also the strongest among the major families. They stood at the peak of the Southern region!
Even the Southern Boss had to take a step back when faced with them.
It was obvious how strong the Thompsons were. At the very least, they were practical without equality in the Southern region.
The Westwoods and the Thompsons were tied together by marriage. Raphael’s aunt was Yuri’s mother, so they were cousins.
“Yuri, you’re finally here! That’s great!”
Raphael was elated to see Yuri there. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Yuri Thompson!”
In contrast to Raphael’s excitement, the Black Gorialla never expected Yuri to arrive so quickly. He was incredibly shocked, and his mood immediately sank.
It was not just him, the other scions were shocked as well. They knew that Yuri was someone incredibly important. He was not someone they could compare to!
Many of them took a step back wisely, giving way to Yuri.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1467
“Raphael, what’s happening? What exactly happened?!” Yuri asked seriously as he led his guards over.
When the Black Gorilla used the carving to set up a scam, Raphael mistakenly believed it to be a treasure that harnessed light energy.
He knew that the Thompsons were looking for such a treasure for the past few months, so he notified Yuri immediately.
That was why Yuri appeared so suddenly!
“It’s like this, my friend Mister Wolf found a treasure just now. Black Gorilla is trying to use his strength to take it from us,” Raphael briefly explained the situation.
“It is a treasure! Sure enough, good things come to those who wait!” Yuri could not stop himself from smiling.
When he received the news from Raphael, he rushed over for the sake of the jade carving! When he heard that Leon obtained the treasure, he automatically assumed it to be the jade carving!
Yet, he did not know that the carving was a fake. The one in Leon’s hands was a completely different treasure!
“Yuri, this man is shameless and despicable. He has no honor to speak about at all. You have to help my friend seek justice,” Raphael said angrily.
He could already tell that Yuri misunderstood, but he decided against explaining things given the situation.
Once Yuri dealt with Black Gorilla, he could tell Yuri the truth after that.
“Don’t worry, just for the fact that he looked down on the Thompsons and planned on attacking you, I won’t ever let him off today!” Yuri said coldly.
“Mister Thompson, what is the meaning of this? This is a personal grievance between me and someone else. It has nothing to do with you or your family. Are you trying to forcibly interfere?!” Black Gorilla said. unhappily.
“So what if I am?! This time, you decided to aim for my cousin, and you’ve harmed my friend in a dishonorable way. You have to give them an explanation!” Yuri said coldly.
In truth, Leon was a stranger to him, so he did not need to stand up for Leon at all!
However, the Thompsons led the Southern region on the surface, while the Southern Boss was the king of the underworld. The two sides never had a good relationship with each other!
On top of that, the treasure in Leon’s hands was very useful to him. It would not do him any harm to curry some favor with Leon.
“What do you want?” The Black Gorilla asked darkly.
“It’s simple, break one of your arms right now and kneel to apologize to them. I’ll consider letting you off then! Otherwise, you’ll bear with the consequences yourself!” Yuri said arrogantly.
“You’re asking me to break my arm and apologize? How dare you?! Yuri, I’ve long heard that you’re an amazing genius that only appears once in a century among the younger generation. You’re also at the top of the Elite List! I’ll have to test you out today. Let’s see if you have the ability to speak like this in front of me?!”
The Black Gorilla felt incredibly frustrated. He wasted no more time as he shot out and started to attack Yuri.
“What an absolute idiot! Since you want to die, I’ll grant you your wish!” Yuri shouted out coldly as he launched himself forward with his fist ready to attack.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1468
Bang!
With an intense clash, both Yuri and the Black Gorilla’s attacks met each other.
After they clashed, Yuri’s body did not move at all.
Instead, the Black Gorilla took a few steps forward before he managed to stop.
“Emperor State!”
Leon was shocked when he felt the immense energy coming out of Yuri’s body.
He never would have dreamed that Yuri managed to reach the Emperor State at such a young age. His skills even seemed to be a step above the Black Gorilla!
It greatly exceeded his expectations!
“How strong!”
“Mister Thompson is someone from the Elite List. Even the Black Gorilla is no match for him!”
Everyone there looked incredibly amazed. Some of them even started cheering.
“The Elite List? Mister Westwood, what’s the Elite List?” Leon asked Raphael curiously after hearing that.
“The Elite List is a list of the younger generation made by the Central region. It lists out some of the super geniuses from the five regions. Normally, only those who are younger than thirty–five and have reached the Emperor State would have the right to enter it. There are a total of thirteen of them on the list right now, and Yuri is one of them,” Raphael explained briefly.
“What? He’s that amazing?!”
Leon was completely shocked after he heard that.
Ever since he entered the Southern region, he met quite a lot of the rich elite, such as Willie and Raphael.
Most of them were around the Semi Overlord state, so they were a bit weaker than he was.
So, he always thought that the younger generation of the martial arts world in Sky County were not that special!
However, he finally understood that there was always a mountain higher. The younger generation of Sky County was much stronger than he thought!
Then, those major families would be even more powerful than he imagined!
“Black Gorilla, take this!”
Yrui followed up his attack as he charged at the Black Gorilla with immense power.
The Black Gorilla avoided Yrui’s attack. After that, he countered and started to go toe to toe with Yuri.
Both of them went through a few exchanges in a flash.
Even though both of them were at the initial Emperor State, Yuri was a once–in–a–lifetime genius. Whether
it was his power or his intuition, he stood at the peak of anyone at the same level. His skills were not far away from the intermediate Emperor State!
In just a moment, the Black Gorilla was quickly at a disadvantage after all his attacks.
“Despicable!” The Black Gorilla’s expression darkened.
He thought that his skills should have been better than Yuri’s since he was at the Emperor State for so many years.
Yet, he underestimated Yuuri too much!
If he continued fighting Yuri, he would lose!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1469
“Just lie down!”
While the Black Gorilla was distracted, Yuri took the chance to punch right at the Black Gorilla’s chest.
The Black Gorilla was shocked. A battle between experts was always settled in a matter of inches. By the time he reacted, it was already too late. Yuri’s attack was already right in front of him!
At such an important moment, he was ford to strike out, barely managing to meet Yuri’s attack.
Bang!
The two of them clashed and Yuri’s power immediately broke through the Black Gorilla’s defenses, viciously striking the man on the chest.
The black Gorilla spat out two mouthfuls of blood before he was sent flying for several meters, slamming into the display behind him before he fell to the ground.
Thankfully, his earlier attack took away most of Yuri’s power. Otherwise, he would have been crippled if not killed!
After that, Yuri quickly charged over. He was kicked out and prepared to continue his attack.
“Hold on! Mister Thompson, I admit defeat,” The Black Gorilla said in a hurry. After that, he barely managed to crawl up from the ground despite the pain in his chest. After the fight just now, he already knew he was no match for yuri!
After suffering another blow from Yuri, he sustained very harsh internal injuries. There was no way he could win!
He would not fight a losing battle. Facing Yuri, he had no choice but to admit defeat!
“That’s more like it!” Yuri said coldly.
“Mister Thompson, I don’t want the treasure anymore. You can leave now,” The Black Gorilla said reluctantly, but there was nothing else he could do.
“What? You mean we’re just going to forget about you trying to attack my cousin and injuring his friend?” Yuri said.
“What else do you want?” The Black Gorilla said.
“It’s still the same thing. If you know your place, then kneel and apologize to both of them after your break your arm. Then, I’ll let you off! Otherwise, you’ll bear with the consequences!” Yuri said coldly.
“Impossible!” The Black Gorilla rejected without any hesitation.
As a subordinate of the Southern Boss and someone famous in the underworld, there was no way he would kneel and apologize to Leon and Raphael.
He would never be able to show his face anymore after that!
“Alright, you asked for it!”
Yuri was angered. After that, he wasted no more time launching an attack with immense power. He quickly rushed toward Black Gorilla and attacked him.
“Stop him!” The Black Gorilla knew that he was no match for Yuri. So, with his order, his men immediately charged forward to stop Yuri.
Taking the chance, he rushed right out and prepared to escape!
“You’re trying to escape? Will you be able to?!” Yuri smiled coldly. He did not even bother with those guards as he pursued the Black Gorilla.
At the same time, the Black Gorilla’s subordinates all launched their attacks at Yuri, trying to stop him.
However, the guards with Yuri were not just for show. The two of them reacted very quickly and immediately rushed forward to help Yuri block the men in black clothes!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1470
Roxanne had just gotten off work when she heard the employees in the research institute discussing Lucian and Aubree‘s marriage.
“Mr. Farwell is so attentive! He actually took care of his fiancée for the entire night. If it were my boyfriend, he would never do so.”
“Most importantly, he‘s handsome and rich. His fiancée is beautiful as well. She resembles Dr. Jarvis quite a bit, so she must be a beauty!”
Similar sentiments drifted into the air.
The group of researchers chatted as they walked. When they caught sight of Roxanne, they even bid her farewell. “See you tomorrow, Dr. Jarvis.”
Smiling, Roxanne answered them one by one.
However, she couldn‘t help feeling puzzled upon hearing their discussion.
Lucian took care of his fiancée the whole of last night? But he had been with me the entire time last night. When did he meet up with Aubree?
Just when she found it strange, Colby came up to her from behind. “Are you free tonight? How about having dinner together?”
Abruptly snapping back to her senses, Roxanne flashed him an apologetic smile. “I still need to rush over to the kindergarten to pick my kids up, so I‘m afraid I‘ll have to take a rain check. Another day, perhaps. When the project concludes, I‘ll treat everyone to a meal.”
When Colby heard that, a glimmer of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he said nothing in the end. Talking about the project, he exited the research institute with her.
As Roxanne didn‘t drive to work, she could only hail a taxi by the roadside.
A moment later, Colby‘s car slowly came to a stop in front of her. “Did you not drive?”
In response, Roxanne shook her head.
“Where are you going? I‘ll give you a ride. I don‘t have anything to do tonight anyway, and it isn‘t easy to get a taxi here.” Colby‘s smile was warm and gentle. cas was warm
Roxanne hesitated for a second. She glanced at the time, only to see that it was indeed time Archie and Benny got off school. Thus, she didn‘t decline but opened the car door and got into the car.
No sooner had she settled into the car than she received a call from Harvey again, inquiring about the project‘s progress.
She explained things to him briefly and succinctly.
After hanging up the phone, she was just about to put her phone away when a push notificationpopped out.
The headline read: Mr. Farwell drove his fiancée to the hospital in the middle of the night and kept her company the entire night.
Seeing that, she inexorably recalled the situation last night and the employees‘ discussion earlier. Unbidden, she tapped open the link.
Right after doing that, two blurry photos entered her line of sight.
The instant she saw the photos, she froze. She didn‘t even have to tap into them to tell that the woman in there was her.
The first photo was taken when she was delirious with a high fever, probably when Lucian carried her from the car to the hospital.
Even when she woke up in the hospital, she was still in the man‘s arms.
Wd
rms
However, she didn‘t expect them to look so close in the photo.
That aside, the man seemed to exert particular care when carrying her.
The second photo was taken when she got into the car with Estella in her arms, while Lucian stood at the side.
She had no idea where the person who snapped the photo hid that neither of them perceived his presence.
Besides, the paparazzo who published that news evidently couldn‘t distinguish between her and Aubree that such a misunderstanding transpired.
Fortunately, the photos were exceedingly blurry, so much so that only those closest to her could tell that the woman in them was her.
With her brows creased, Roxanne continued scrolling downward, only to see that the comments below were all envious of her because of Lucian‘s attentiveness toward her.
Little did they know that she didn‘t feel the least bit happy about it.
After looking through them for a while and ascertaining that no one realized that the woman in the photos wasn‘t Aubree, she put away her phone with mixed emotions.
Hoping to avoid unnecessary trouble, she didn‘t plan on clarifying things.
Instead, she merely found the entire misunderstanding rather amusing.
