Chapter 1892 The Unexpected Guest

Elektra was dumbfounded. I've never seen Lucian express his anger so straightforwardly before. All these years, he hadn't been one to wear his heart on his sleeve. Even when he had to take over Farwell Group back then, he faced all his problems in a composed manner.

Right then, Elektra was overwhelmed by great sadness, and she had trouble breathing.

Seconds later, the tears that she had been holding back suddenly came streaming down her cheeks. Lucian used to take me under his wing. Back when I was harassed by the other students in school, he would always show up. He used to put his heart into preparing gifts forme. During mycoming-of-age ceremony, he even gifted me a cool sports car. Back then, I took everything for granted, thinking he only did all that on the account of the relationship our families shared. In hindsight, he actually regarded me as someone important in his life. Although he didn't have romantic feelings for me, I was still more than a friend to him. I never once realized that he thought of me as his younger sister.

In an instant, Elektra felt drained of energy. Her body went limp, and she was on the verge of collapsing onto the ground.

Lucian grabbed her right hand and fumed, "You must face the consequences! You're not getting away with this!"

He pulled her toward the couch, and she slumped into it.

The iciness in Lucian's gaze didn't fade.

Roxanne was the love of his life, so he would never forgive or have mercy on whoever tried to harm her.

"I found out about it from the moment you started adding substances to the products. It was simple, really. Although the new factory hadn't been officially put into operation, the transportation company the drivers worked for was under the management of Queen Group! Although it was only a small company, we had control over the logistics," Lucian revealed.

That night, two trucks were delayed for no reason. Out of consideration for the transportation of the products of Flora Verba Group, Jonathan went to consult the drivers.

Upon finding out what had happened, Jonathan felt something was fishy.

Hence, he went to discuss the matter with Lucian the next day before intercepting the trucks. There and then, all the products were recalled.

That was exactly the day when Christina and Elektra thought everything was going according to their plan. Little did they know that Lucian had already started investigating the matter.

However, everything happened too fast. Ten thousand products had been tampered with within three to four days.

Besides, all the products had the same packaging, so Lucian couldn't tell them apart.

Therefore, he gave the order to intercept all the trucks that had been to the new factory and stored all the products mixed with harmful substances in one warehouse.

In order to prevent Roxanne from worrying, he told her he wanted to export the products and received permission from her.

After that, he told Leroy and a few other factory managers to bring their new employees to the temporary factory Jonathan had found. There, they worked overtime to produce an extra ten thousand products to replace the tainted batch.

Lucian's worst fear was that Roxanne could get betrayed by the people around her.

That was why he investigated all the people in the research institute to find a possible suspect.

He never expected Elektra to be the one in bed with Christina.

The night before, Lucian had already found out where Christina was staying, so he told Cayden to bring a few bodyguards with him to the hotel to apprehend and question Christina.

Unfortunately for Lucian, Christina had quite a few professional bodyguards under her payroll. Those bodyguards sensed something was amiss and escorted Christina out of there in the nick of time. Although Christina got out in time, she accidentally left her phone behind because she was in a hurry.

The contact number found in the call log was an unknown number, and that was the newly-registered number Elektra used to call Christina.

At first, Lucian wanted to call that number right away and track its location.

However, Elektra started calling in the morning. Lucian ignored the calls because he didn't want to raise suspicion.

Then, he went to the hotel and waited patiently for up to four hours.

He knew the person who was working with Christina would show up anxiously upon realizing that their evil scheme had failed.

At long last, the doorbell rang, but to his dismay, the person he was waiting for was the last person he hoped to see.
