The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 1766 Eyeing The Pie

Seeing his sister's reaction, Jonathan had a general idea about the current situation.

What exactly is that man's motive? His previous suspicion of having sent Aubree abroad made it clear that he was an enemy of the Farwell family. Yet, he specifically had Old Mr. Lomax help to treat Roxanne this time. His actions are rather peculiar, and I can't figure him out.
