Chapter 826


    Chapter 826 Herbscape Group May Reconsider


    After lunch, Roxanne and the others returned to the research institute to continue discussing the details of their cooperation.


    When they came out of the restaurant, a sh of light flickered twice in a bush across the road before quickly disappearing.


    The person hiding in the bush only stepped out after he saw the group leave in a car. Looking at the photos he had just taken


    with his camera, the mysterious man nodded with satisfaction before hurrying away.


    At the Queen residence, Jonathan stood up in surprise when his butler entered the house with Lucian. “To what do | owe the


    pleasure, Lucian?”


    Standing beside Jonathan was Frieda, who could not help but feel guilty when she saw Lucian because of her meeting with


    Aubree. Even her voice was shaky when she greeted the man. “Lucian...”


    Lucian simply gave Frieda an indifferent look before shifting his attention to Jonathan. “Are you avable now?”


    Frowning slightly, Jonathan could tell that Lucian had something important to discuss with him. “Yes. Let''s talk in my study.”


    After agreeing to the proposal, Lucian followed Jonathan upstairs to the study.


    Frieda remained downstairs as she watched the two leave her behind. When she thought of how cold Lucian was to her, she


    clenched her fists angrily.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Only after Frieda heard the door shut did she cautiously head upstairs to eavesdrop outside the study.


    “Any progress with Herbscape Group?” asked Lucian with a stern face as he sat on the couch in the study, watching Jonathan


    pour him a cup of coffee.


    Jonathan froze for a while when he heard the question. Then he looked at Lucian in confusion. “About that... | thought you had


    given up on them, so | didn’t consider them.”


    After that, Jonathan tried his best to remember what he and Lucian had talked about at Queen Group. Lucian made it clear that


    he nned to go with the flow, so why is he bringing up the matter now? He even came here on the weekend to discuss it.


    “Herbscape Group is already in our crosshair. Why would we let somebody else have them?” asked Lucian rhetorically with a


    frown.


    He had intended for Roxanne to realize her potential at Herbscape Group, but after what happened that morning, he changed his


    mind. To Roxanne, her job is more important than her children! | can’t let her go on like this!


    Jonathan hesitated for a while before responding, “But | think Dr. Jarvis has already agreed to work for Herbscape Group as their


    technical advisor. If we were to make a move on them suddenly, she would probably—”


    Before he could finish his sentence, he was silenced by Lucian’s fierce look.


    Judging by how Lucian had reacted when Roxanne was mentioned, Jonathan could easily figure out what was going on.


    After all, only Roxanne could change Lucian’s mind.


    Jonathan could not help but wonder what had happened between the two in such a short time.


    Still, he decided it was best not to talk about that and shifted the focus to the acquisition of Herbscape Group.


    “With Dr. Jarvis as their technical advisor, the Damaris family and Dr. Jarvis are officially working together. I’m afraid it''ll take


    some time to acquire Herbscape Group.”


    Naturally, Lucian was aware of the situation as well. “Damaris Group probably only managed to steal Herbscape Group from us


    because they had something Herbscape Group wanted. If we can make a better offer, Herbscape Group may reconsider.”
