Seeing that she was keeping mum, Lucian remained silent as well. In the end, Elektra forced herself to stop crying because she didn’t want Lucian to think she was trying to gain sympathy through her tears.
Therefore, she owned up to what she did. / should’ve known this would happen from the moment I came in contact with Christina. If I had chosen to expose the fact that Christina was actually Aubree and alerted Lucian about it, everything would’ve been different now. However, it’s all too late now. I don’t understand, though. Why is Lucian here in Christina’s room? How did Lucian find out about this? Also, how did he change the whole situation? After all, I added harmful substances to all the products. I spent so much time and effort accomplishing that.
“When did you find out about this? I really want to know the answer to that question. How did you do it? Did you recall the tainted products?” Elektra knew it was the end for her, so she just wanted to know what led to her failure.
“Elektra, did you consider the consequences? You did, didn’t you? Was Roxanne your target? You wanted to ruin her, right? Have you been planning all this since the very beginning? Since you proposed this project?” Lucian asked instead of answering her questions.
His tone was so cold that it was as if he was talking to a stranger. By then, Elektra had given up hope because she knew Lucian’s impression of her was unsalvageable. That was why she decided to admit to everything.
“Yes. I considered the consequences. My target is indeed Roxanne! I wanted to destroy her. Lucian, I need an answer. Over all these years, who am I to you? Do you really not have the slightest of feelings for me?” she asked.
Lucian knitted his brows in response as hostility filled his expression. He shot a cold, vicious glare at Elektra that resembled countless deadly arrows that pierced the woman’s heart in an instant. A bitter smile surfaced on Elektra’s countenance.
“Elektra, I’ve actually looked into what Aubree did in Hawen. At first, I thought she would turn over a new leaf and start a brand new life after assuming the identity of Christina. However, she was still determined to take revenge on Roxanne. Thus, I have people watching her every move the second she crossed the border. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to be the person she was working with!”
Lucian ignored Elektra’s questions because he no longer had the patience to answer them. We were childhood sweethearts, and our families have known each other for decades. Heck, I even disregarded Jonathan and gave her the opportunity to collaborate with Roxanne. Jonathan is more than capable of doing whatever she can! Yet, all this while, she has been plotting against my wife just to send her to prison! No matter how close our relationship was, it’s over now that everything is exposed.
“Listen closely, Elektra. I’ll make things clear to you now, so you’d give up. Ever since we were little, I have always regarded you as my little sister. I don’t have siblings, so you and Jonathan are like my brother and sister. You should know that! Still, you attempted to sabotage my wife! Did you not consider the future of my three children? Also, did you not think about your parents? What would they think if they knew you did all this?” Lucian could no longer suppress his anger and spoke through gritted teeth.
That was probably the first time he expressed his emotions so explicitly and aggressively. As soon as he finished talking, he abruptly rose to his feet and walked up to Elektra, his gaze burning with fury.
