Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1304

Chapter 1304

An indeterminate time passed, and Cory finally regained his senses. “Mr. Farwell, I was wrong! I won't ever dare to do this again. Aubree forced me!” He begged for mercy in a panic and spoke without considering his word choices. “I don't want the money. Please let me go. I'll scram!”

He got up from the chair and wanted to escape the office as soon as possible because that place felt like hell to him due to the gloomy aura emitted by Lucian.

Cory didn't want to stay there for a second longer.

“Stop right there,” Lucian uttered just as Cory reached the office door.

At the same time, Cayden moved and stood at the doorway, blocking Cory's path. Cayden gestured at the latter for him to retrace his steps.

Remorse washed over Cory as he was trapped inside the office by Lucian and Cayden.

If he could turn back time, he wouldn't have met with Lucian no matter what.

Realizing there was no longer hope for him to run away, Cory turned around and gazed at Lucian, having only the courage to do so while keeping a safe distance from him. “What else can I do for you, Mr. Farwell?”

Lucian got to his feet from behind the desk and glanced at Cory with a dark look. “I can give you the money.”

Cory was shocked. He couldn't believe his ears. Am I really able to acquire money from Lucian? I'm not dreaming, right?

Immediately afterward, Lucian's voice rang again. “But not now.”

Reality slapped Cory across his face.

Having worked in that industry for so long, he was already a worldly-wise person.

He fathomed Lucian had a task for him after Lucian finished his sentence.

Moreover, that task wouldn't be simple.

However, Cory was left with no alternative.

Samuel, standing next to Gina, also looked concerned.

“Just forget about the engagement since it has been called off. Lucian will always remember the kindness your grandfather had shown him, so the Pearson family's status remains,” Gina comforted her daughter.

Although they were also dissatisfied with the cancellation of the engagement, Gina and Samuel thought their daughter's health was ultimately more important.

“Mom, Dad, things may be different for the Pearson family soon,” Aubree stammered.

The rest of Gina's words stuck in her throat. She turned her head around and exchanged glances with Samuel. Only then did she confirm her ears weren't playing tricks on her.

Colors drained from her face again as apprehension filled her eyes. “What happened? Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

Gina sized up Aubree's appearance as she spoke. A sense of foreboding crept into Gina's heart. “Be honest with US. What have you done?”

Aubree's lips trembled uncontrollably. “1-1 messed up! Lucian will never let me off the hook! Mom, Dad, please help me. Only you two can save me now!”
