Chapter 794
Chapter 794 What You Are Doing Is Pointless
A flash of self-mockery flitted across Roxanne’s eyes. She was worried that Lucian might find trouble with Jack because of her, but it turned out that she had gotten it all wrong.
All the while, Lucian was finding trouble with her because of Jack. Seeing the change in the woman’s expression, Lucian realized that what he had just said might have been too suggestive. With his brows knitted together, Lucian was prepared to explain himself, but Roxanne beat him to the punch.
“Since it’s business-related, you can reason with Mr. Damaris himself. I’m merely a researcher in this project. Both my words and my presence don’t carry much weight, so even if I’m not there at the ceremony, it can still proceed without a hitch.”
Roxanne looked at the man in front of her with a tinge of mockery in her gaze as she continued, “I’m just an insignificant member of the project. If don’t attend the ceremony today, my colleagues will assume I’m unsociable and bring me trouble in the future. Mr. Farwell, please don’t put me in a tight spot.”
The crease between Lucian’s brows deepened when he heard the woman’s words. She had indeed misunderstood him.
“That’s not what I meant!” he declared.
However, his reply only made Roxanne scoff. “Then what do you mean, Mr. Farwell? Are you treating me as a punching bag because you lost a business deal?”
Angered, Lucian narrowed his eyes. He could not think of a way to explain himself as he was caught up in the heat of the moment. Hence, he reached out to grab the woman’s wrist, not wanting to let her slip away.
Without the slightest hesitation, Roxanne attempted to break free of Lucian’s grip, but he was far stronger than her.
“Lucian Farwell, what you’re doing is pointless!” Having grown frustrated after struggling for a while, Roxanne glared at the man in front of her.
Lucian opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say to appease her anger. In the end, his retort was short and curt. “You can’t go.”
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two was thick with tension.
Madilyn had parked her car in her own courtyard and was observing her best friend and Lucian from afar.
She felt her heart tighten when the former husband and wife looked like they were arguing.
Madilyn did not want to become the third wheel, but in a situation like this, she was afraid that her best friend would end up being bullied.
At that thought, Madilyn hurriedly got out of her car and rushed over to them.
When she arrived at Roxanne’s doorstep, Madilyn felt rather awkward, but she steeled herself and pretended as if she hadn’t been observing them for a while. “Roxanne, what happened?”
Lucian furrowed his eyebrows and loosened his grip around Roxanne’s wrist when he noticed someone was approaching them.
This allowed Roxanne to successfully break free. She walked past the man and said to Madilyn, “You came just in time. Now that you’re here, it’s time for me to go. I’ll leave Archie and Benny in your care.”
Once she finished speaking, Roxanne did not spare Lucian another glance. She strode toward her car and drove off to meet Jack at the venue they agreed on.
Madilyn watched as Roxanne drove away. Then, she shifted her gaze toward Lucian, who was still standing in front of Roxanne’s house, and her face instantly fell.sá´‡aʀᴄh thá´‡ Findηovel.É´et website on Gøøglá´‡ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I came over to rescue Roxanne, but who would’ve thought that she’d leave just like that? She even left me a huge mess to clean up!
Trying her best to appear calm, Madilyn cleared her throat and asked, “Mr. Farwell, what are—”
She was interrupted mid-sentence when the man suddenly turned around.
Madilyn instantly shut her mouth when she noticed the gloomy expression on Lucian’s face.
Lucian, on the other hand, seemed to not notice Madilyn as he strode past her and left in his car.
It wasn’t until his car had slowly gotten out of her sight that Madilyn was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
