Chapter 1302
“I'm right outside of Farwell Group,” Cory quickly said.
Lucian inclined his head and gestured for Cayden to pick Cory up. At the same time, he said to Cayden, “My
assistant will be coming for you.”
Cory made a sound of agreement and waited for Lucian to hang up before nervously getting out of his car.
In no time, Cayden appeared at the entrance.
Cory walked over to him and followed him into the elevator.
Soon, the elevator came to a halt on the highest floor.
Cayden led him to Lucian's office, knocked on the door, and gestured for Cory to enter by himself.
Cory's legs seemed to have turned into jelly the moment the door opened, and he shakily asked Cayden, “Are you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot going to come in with me?”
Cayden gave him a polite smile. “Mr. Farwell wishes to speak to you privately.”
With that, a cold look returned to Cayden's face.
Cory hesitated for a long while, and yet, he had no choice but to muster the courage to continue with his plan. He
was already there, after all.
He steeled himself and went in.
Lucian was sitting at the office desk, working.
When he saw Cory entering, he put down the documents and crossed his arms in front of him. After a curt
inclination of his head, he said, “Please take a seat, Mr. Zaythrone.”
The smile Cory had in response was an ugly one as he stiffly sat down in front of Lucian.
“You said you have information to sell to me. Do start,” Lucian said, completely expressionless.
Even though there was no hint of anger on Lucian's face, Cory still felt a weight on his chest. “Before that, I'd like to
ask for a guarantee from you, Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian furrowed his brows and motioned for him to keep going.
“You know how things go for the people in our line of work. We take the money, and we do the deed. We're working
for people, and we do what our client asks US to do, so it's not as if we have many choices sometimes.”
Cory was trying to remove his responsibility from the equation.
Lucian gave him a smile. “Do tell me what it is, and I'll pass judgment on my own.”
Cory was stumped by his answer, but since he was already there in Lucian's office, there was nothing else he could
do about it.
“Why don't you tell me who your client is first?” Lucian stared at him. “Aubree Pearson?”
Cory broke out in a cold sweat immediately as he looked at Lucian in terror.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf he already knows it's Aubree, what else does he not know about? In that case, what use would my information
be?
“l-lt's her!” Cory hastily confessed. “She forced me to do this! I really don't know what she's trying to do! She only
asked me where Ms. Jarvis and the kids were. I didn't think much about it when I told her where they were. Who
knew she would bring a bottle over and pour its contents into the kids' bottles?”
Lucian's eyes darkened. “Are you talking about when Roxanne brought the kids to camp?”
He recalled what Roxanne had told him previously.
Back then, Roxanne had told him that Aubree was the one who put the bacteria into the children's cup.
However, Lucian did nothing about that because he could not find any evidence of Aubree's involvement.
If Aubree really was behind the bacteria incident, then she had to be behind the incident where Archie and Benny
were chased by older children when they came to visit Estella as well.
Lucian chided himself when he realized how he had even planned to give Aubree another chance a while ago.
If he had let the wicked woman join the Farwell family, the woman would mess everything up.
“Do you have evidence of it?” Lucian asked.
Cory promptly took out the photos he had taken.
