Chapter 730


    Chapter 730 What Makes You Say That


    As the hubbub got closer, Lucian soon entered Roxanne’ field of vision, spotting a stern expression. Roxanne stared at the man


    before her in astonishment. “Why are you here?”


    His formal outfit suggested that he was just in a meeting, yet his tie appeared loose as though it had been tugged slightly. Upon


    hearing her query, Lucian’s expression turned icy. “If you cane, why can’t |?”


    After saying that, he shot her a look while suppressing his anger before turning to face the reporters behind him, his cold eyes


    swept across their faces. “If you have any questions, | can answer on her behalf.”


    The crowd shuddered at his gaze, and everyone turned to look at one another. No one dared to say a word for some time. Given


    Lucian’s status, if they said something wrong that day, they might lose their jobs.


    No one wanted to face that kind of repercussion. Lucian frowned and grabbed the wrist of the woman behind him before ncing


    at the crowd in front of him. “If there are no questions, I’m taking her away.”


    Without waiting for a reaction, he held Roxanne’s hand and pulled her out of the crowd. The previously moring crowd fell silent


    as the two passed by and was evenpelled by Lucian’s powerful aura to make way for them.


    Coming out of the crowd, Roxanne had not had time to breathe a sigh of relief when she looked at the person in front of her, and


    her anxiety only increased further.


    “Get in.” Lucian brought her all the way to his car and said in a terrifyingly chilly voice as he opened the passenger door.


    Roxanne pursed her lips slightly but stood still. “| drove here, so | can just drive myself back in a bit.”


    Although flustered, she still kept herposure. The rumors about Jack and me haven''t been rified and will only be


    more outrageous if | get into Lucian’s car in front of those reporters.


    Her rejection further enraged Lucian. Earlier that day, as soon as he came out of the conference room, he was stopped by


    Cayden, who stammered out the news about Roxanne and Jack to him.


    Lucian already had a suspicion about the two’s rtionship, so when he saw the photos circting on the inte, he merely felt


    irony.


    Yet, the next moment, he saw the scene where Roxanne appeared at the entrance of the research institute and was surrounded


    by people.


    Even though rage surged up within him, he still rushed over.


    Even so, this woman repeatedly rejects my kindness!


    Roxanne noticed the man’s increasingly cold expression and softened her voice a little. “| don’t want to be misunderstood


    anymore. Go now. Otherwise, even you will be dragged into this mess.”Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Upon hearing the tone of her voice, a look of suspicion shed in Lucian’s eyes before he lifted his gaze to nce at the crowd


    not far away.


    Everyone was tantly staring at them, but when they saw him looking over, they quickly withdrew their gazes and dispersed as


    though nothing had happened.


    Only then did Lucian shift his gaze to the woman before him and ask with a frown, “What makes you say that?”


    Roxanne looked up to meet his gaze and noticed that the sense of trust was more prevalent despite the doubt in his eyes.


    She knew very well what his suspicions were.


    While everyone else was suspicious of the reason she could participate in the project, he merely doubted her rtionship with


    Jack.


    At the thought, other than the bitterness within her, Roxanne also found it a little funny that even after her many exnations,


    Lucian persisted in his thoughts about her rtionship with Jack.


    Even though he did help me, | bet he’s still irritated by those photos.
