    Chapter 155 On Purpose


    Prior to the birthday banquet, Roxanne had given thest round of treatment to Alfred. Although he


    couldn’t stay on his feet for too long, he was in better spirits, and he could even get out of bed and


    move around.


    Roxanne had also given him medications and told him to take them on time. After that, the treatment


    wasplete.


    On the day of the birthday banquet, Roxanne went home to dress up after she finished her work at theTêxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    research institute. After putting on a dress and tying up her hair, she put on simple yet elegant makeup


    before going to the banquet.


    When she arrived at the Queen residence, the banquet was just about to start. There were plenty of


    luxury cars parked outside, and the residence was packed with guests, all of whom were prominent


    figures in Horington.


    Since Roxanne had stayed in Horington before that, she knew most of the people there. However, very


    few of them knew who she was.


    Yet, she was the center of attention when she showed up at the venue.


    When the crowd saw her, they were all in awe.


    With her long hair tied up behind, she was unting her fair and slender neck. Besides, the crowd could


    clearly see her exquisite facial features, although she was just wearing a thinyer of makeup. When


    she smiled, her eyes were shining as bright as the stars in the sky. At the same time, her long and


    slender legs also charmed the crowd.


    Instantly, everyone was making guesses about which family was she from.


    Roxanne nced around and pretended like she didn’t notice the attention was on her. Since no one


    hase forward to greet me, it would be rude of me to engage someone in small talk on my own.


    After mulling over it for a while, she decided to just go to a corner and chill on her own.


    However, Jonathan called out to her when she had only taken a couple of steps, “Dr. Jarvis, you look


    amazing today.”


    Indeed, whenever she was giving treatment to Alfred, she would always dress in a shirt and a pair of All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    long pants. Besides, she never put on any makeup. Although one could still see her beautiful facial


    features, she had never looked as stunning as that day.


    Upon hearing that, Roxanne halted in her tracks and nodded politely to express her gratitude.


    “Since you’re already here, don’t hide! My grandpa is waiting for you!” Jonathan could tell she was


    trying to shy away from the crowd, so he invited her to see Alfred.


    Since the invitation was to see Alfred, Roxanne had no choice but to ept it. While enduring the


    weird stares from the crowd, she approached Alfred and greeted him.


    Alfred greeted her with an affectionate smile and exchanged pleasantries with her.


    The crowd was intrigued when they saw the warm interaction between Roxanne and the Queen family.


    Meanwhile, Lucian had just left the office, and he was about to attend the banquet at the Queen


    residence. Suddenly, he received a call from Sonya.


    Sonya asked, “Have you finished work? Could youe and fetch me? I’m getting my look done at


    Neon Boutique.”


    Lucian agreed after checking the time.


    Neon Boutique was a business owned by the Lane family, a family that was close to the Farwell family.


    They specialized in making evening gowns and suits. It was a business that was passed down through


    generations. Although their products were pricey, they were very popr among the high society in


    Horington.


    Everyone in the Lane family was involved in the fashion designing industry. Besides, they were all


    pioneers in their respective fields, even the younger generations.


    Before every event, the Farwell family would always get their outfits done at Neon Boutique.


    Hence, Lucian was unfazed when Sonya told him she was at Neon Boutique.


    When Lucian arrived, the person in charge of Neon Boutique immediately went out to greet him.


    By then, Sonya was ready. However, she remained seated when she saw Lucian walking in. “Have a


    seat.”


    Lucian was confused. “Are you not done? It’s gettingte.”


    In response, Sonya raised her chin toward a fitting room. “Wait for Aubree.”


    Upon hearing that, Lucian immediately frowned. She’s doing this on purpose, isn’t she?
