The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Confronting Aubree
Realizing that she was the most suspicious individual due to her unresolved conflict with Lucian, Roxanne was quick to explain, “Just so you know, I didn’t do this! I’ve always believed that children are innocent! Besides, Archie and Benny like Essie a lot, so I would never hit her!”
Plus, since she had spent some time alone with Estella, she would have no way of explaining herself if Lucian decided to suspect her.
Her anxiety got so intense that it even started showing on her face.
Lucian shot her a confused glance upon hearing what she said. “I’m not suspecting you or anything. In fact, I think I know who did this.”
Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief before asking worriedly, “Who could it be?”
The temperature in the room seemed to decrease as Lucian went into deep thought.

Mom and Dad brought Essie out of the house yesterday without explaining why. While their behavior does seem a little strange, I know for a fact that they love Essie very much, and that they would never lay a finger on her. The only other person that has been in contact with Essie since last night is Aubree! I know that Essie has always disliked her, but I didn’t think she’d hurt Essie like this!
“Well? Who is it?” Roxanne asked anxiously when she saw his gloomy expression.
Lucian tried his best to suppress his anger as he said, “I’ll be leaving Essie in your care for a bit. There’s something I need to take care of.”
He then turned around and left the house while Roxanne watched on with a displeased frown.
As if not knowing about his daughter’s injuries wasn’t bad enough, he’s seriously just going to leave her here after finding out about it?
Aubree was so terrified by Lucian’s intimidating aura earlier that she sat there in the restaurant for quite some time before heading back.
Even when she got home, her mind was still a mess as she recalled Lucian’s questioning from earlier.
Aubree was about to call Elias and Sonya for help when she heard her doorbell ring.
She then put her phone away and had the butler open the door.
The butler returned moments later with her visitor, and Aubree went pale when she saw who it was.
