Chapter 1260

However, Frieda was only just beginning. “If it weren’t for Roxanne, Lucian and Aubree would have married long ago!”

Jonathan wanted to slap some sense into his sister. “Can’t you see the truth? Even if Dr. Jarvis hadn’t returned, Lucian would never have married Aubree!”

Frieda’s confidence wavered. “How’s that possible? I remember how he used to…” Having witnessed Lucian’s obsession with Aubree six years prior, she remained convinced Roxanne was the obstacle.

“You shut your mouth! If Lucian truly loved Aubree, why didn’t he marry her? Dr. Jarvis has always been his love!” Jonathan rebuked.

“That’s impossible!” Frieda’s voice lacked its former certainty.

“Then explain why Lucian refused to marry Aubree if he loved her so much?” Jonathan challenged, eyebrows furrowed.

Trembling, Frieda continued to doubt herself. “But… even if Lucian didn’t love Aubree, they were engaged! Besides, Roxanne has a child with another man. She’s unworthy of Lucian!”

“Lucian has already called off the engagement!” Jonathan roared.

Frieda’s jaw dropped. “How can that be? Six years, and he suddenly calls it off? Why didn’t he say anything sooner?”

Jonathan gave his sister a disappointed look. “I told you to stay out of Lucian’s affairs, but you wouldn’t listen! If this affects our family, I won’t go easy on you, even if you’re my sister!”

Frieda, already consumed by self-doubt, looked at her brother incredulously. “Jonathan!”

“I don’t have a sister as stupid as you!” Jonathan’s head ached with frustration. “From now on, stay in the hospital. Any more trouble, and I’ll tell Grandpa, and you’ll be kicked out of the family!”

Frieda, refusing to believe Lucian would so easily end his engagement with Aubree, clenched her fists, her lips trembling.

“That’s impossible… impossible…”

She was about to rush to Aubree when a knock sounded. Lucian entered, his expression blank.

Frieda’s heart skipped a beat when their gazes met. She instinctively recoiled. She refused to believe Lucian would call off the engagement, despite Jonathan’s words. But Lucian’s expression began to change her mind.

Terror filled Frieda as she wondered what Lucian would do after her actions regarding Aubree.

Lucian’s gaze lingered on Frieda only briefly before shifting to Jonathan. “I’m done. We can go now.”

Jonathan, too, was nervous, despite his harsh words. He couldn’t bear to watch Lucian reprimand Frieda. Fortunately, that didn’t seem to be Lucian’s intention.

Relieved, Jonathan nodded and left his sister behind.

“I’m so sorry, Lucian. I should have kept a better eye on Frieda.” Jonathan muttered, shouldering some of the blame as he left.
