Chapter 586


    Even though both of them were of a simr status, Lucian still used that tone to speak to Jack, which made thetter feel quite


    displeased.


    However, because Jack was standing in front of another person’s house, he had to maintain hisposure. With slightly


    furrowed eyebrows, he turned to Roxanne, wondering what was her opinion on the matter.


    Roxanne also felt Lucian was acting out of line. However, she was aware that if things continued down that path, Lucian would


    only cross the line even further.


    Sensing Jack’s line of sight, she said apologetically, “Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Damaris. Sadly, it’s probably not a


    good idea to invite you inside today. I’ll be sure to thank you properly next time.”


    The moment she finished speaking, Lucian’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. He promptly stretched his hand to hold her other arm.


    Jack respected her decision and simply nodded with a smile. “It was nothing. Since you''re injured, | think it''ll be for the best if we


    talk about the coboration on the phone.”


    Roxanne agreed gratefully. Before he left, Jack’s gaze swept past Lucian. “If you need anything, Ms. Jarvis, just call me.”


    She pursed her lips and smiled. “All right. Have a safe trip home, Mr. Damaris.”


    Seeing how casual the two were acting around each other made Lucian furrow his eyebrows even more intensely. His grip on


    her arm also became tighter because of that. Roxanne frowned at him due to the pain.


    When she saw his expression, a strange feeling appeared in her heart. Jack’s car slowly disappeared from their sights.


    Roxanne looked away from the car and shifted to the side by two steps with great effort. Then, she stared at Lucian rather alertly.


    “What''s the matter, Mr. Farwell?”


    Upon detecting her avoidance, his eyebrows furrowed even more intensely. “I came here to deliver your medicine to you, Ms.


    Jarvis. | didn’t expect you to recover so quickly. You haven’t been injured that long, yet you can already move freely.”


    His stare shifted to the direction Jack left and continued in a mocking tone, “Or is it because Mr. Damaris is special? So much so


    that you want to meet him despite your injury?”This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Roxanne could sense the hostility in his voice and felt even odder. “Mr. Damaris and | are merely business partners. We met


    today because we wanted to discuss our coboration. Please do not make wild guesses, Mr. Farwell!”


    Lucian’s lips twitched. “It''d better be.”


    Seeing the mockery on his face caused her to feel a slight pain in her heart. Her expression darkened as she said, “Thank you


    for your thoughifulness, Mr. Farwell. However, | have all sorts of medicine here. So, if there’s nothing else, please leave.”


    Roxanne turned around and staggered back into the mansion without giving Lucian another chance to speak.


    He grabbed her arm after she took two steps away from him. His cold voice rang next to her ear. “I''ll send you back in.”


    “No need. It’s only a few steps. | can handle it just fine,” she rejected without hesitation. As soon as she finished, she felt the


    hand on her arm exerting even more force. It was a clear indication of his displeasure.


    “Why can’t | do it when Jack can?” He gazed at her back deeply. “Didn’t you say you two are only business partners?”


    Her body froze slightly as she nced back at him in disbelief. She thought he was just mocking her, as usual. However, his


    expression didn’t appear fake to her.


    He truly believed that there was something between her and Jack. Roxanne’s expression froze when she saw that. In the end,


    sheplied. “Thanks for the help, then, Mr. Farwell.”
