Lucian said nothing and merely stared at her darkly.

Suddenly, he bent down and swooped her up.

Shocked, Roxanne instinctively clung to his neck, afraid she would fall to the ground.

Her actions happened to play in Lucian’s favor.

The violence in his gaze faded a little as he strode to the shore.

Roxanne’s cheeks were flushed as she said, “Putdown.I can walk by myself now.” She knew she had scared him.

He scooped her up in his arms because he was fearful that something similar would happen once more.

Ignoring her protests, Lucian carried her to his car and helped her settle into the passenger seat.

He retrieved his suit jacket from the backseat and draped it over her shoulders before taking his place behind the wheel.

Noticing he was still mad at her, Roxanne felt utterly helpless.

“Didn’t we chere to relax? That was just a tiny accident.” Lucian”’s brows were still knitted together.

Deep down, she let out a sigh and said coyly, “You promised to givea handmade shell bracelet.Don’t forget about it.” Lucian turned over to look at her.

“I won't go back on my word.I’'ll cback another day to find the shells.As for you...” He trailed off and gazed at her darkly for a few moments.

“Go back and get srest.You don’t want to catch a cold.” Roxanne was relieved.She pursed her lips and gave him a smile.

Lucian started the engine and drove away.

At the stime, Cory emerged from the bushes and patted the leaves away from his body.He lowered his head to check the photos he had taken earlier.

Cory was pleased to discover he was still a good photographer as the photos turned out nicely.

He transferred the photos to his phone and picked a few to send to Aubree.

Aubree had been in a daze these few days after getting rejected by Lucian.She didn’t even step out of her bedroom.

“Aubree, cout and have something to eat.Perhaps there is still a chance to turn things around.Lucian won't be that cruel,” Gina coaxed outside.She couldn't bear to see her daughter torturing herself.

Aubree ignored her outright.

Upon discovering that Lucian intended to annul their engagement, Frieda had vanished without a trace, and Aubrec had not heard from her since.

Similarly, Cory had disappeared after Roxanne’s hospital discharge, leaving Aubree clueless as to his whereabouts.

None of them are reliable! Aubree was simmering in anger when her phone lit up.

Furious, she grabbed her phone to see who it was.

It was a text sent by an unknown number.

She clicked into it and saw a few photos of Roxanne and Lucian together that were obviously taken without their knowledge.

In the photos, Lucian and Roxanne were sharing a passionate kiss in the sea before Lucian swept her up in his arms and carried her away from the waves.

Aubree grew increasingly disgusted and nearly broke her phone screen with her forceful grip.

“B*tch! You're nothing but a b*tch, Roxanne!” The public has yet to be informed of the annulment of our engagement.

How dare the b*tch do that in public? | can’t let her get away with this! Gina heard the commotion outside and knocked on the door anxiously.

“Aubree, what happened? Open up!” Aubree did nothing to assure her mother and angrily typed a reply to the unknown number who sent her the photos: Are you Cory? She couldn’t think of anyone else who could take photos of Lucian covertly and send them to her.

She soon received a reply: Jt looks like you have been leading an uncomfortable life recently, Ms.Pearson.
