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.

In the face of her brother's authoritative aura, Frieda suppressed her emotions, her expression indignant. "Why do you think I did so? Can't I achieve something for myself? For my whole life, the entire Queen family has nurtured you as the heir. What about me? No one has ever taken me seriously. Am I just a haughty daughter of a prominent family in other people's eyes? Am I not worthy of having my own ambition?"

She grew increasingly emotional as she spoke. In the end, she declared, "Listen here, Jonathan. Starting today, I'm also your competitor. Unlike you, I won't be going along with the Farwell family in everything! That tirade sparked the fury Jonathan had initially leashed.

"The Farwell family hasn't been maltreating us. In fact, they've been pretty good to us. Regarding them as an enemy would be true foolishness. Besides, Lucian would undoubtedly give the Queen family credit for having gotten Old Mr. Lomax to help. Whatever benefit you want, I'll give it to you at that time."
