After watching as Roxanne got into the taxi, Jack turned around and nced at the man beside him with a frown.
Judging by their interactions earlier, Jack could tell that the man seemed to be interested in Roxanne. However, his identity was
slightly concerning.
Jack took a sidelong nce at Colby with a hint of mockery shing across his eyes.
It was not until the taxi disappeared from his eyesight that Colby finally withdrew his gaze and met Jack’s.
“Mr. Damaris.” A rather unusual feeling surged within Colby at that moment, but he quickly suppressed it.
Jack calmly withdrew his gaze and nodded in response.
“Mr. Damaris, you seem to know what is bothering Dr. Jarvis,” Colby started.
Otherwise, he would not have stepped in and helped Roxanne out of the situation before she could say anything. Besides, the
two were clearly together before arriving at the research institute.
Jack merely ached a brow in response. “Dr. Galloway, what are you trying to say?”
Colby could hear the hidden hint of disdain in Jack’s tone. Anger swelled in him, but he forced himself to suppress it.
After a few seconds, he said calmly, “I think Dr. Jarvis might be troubled with something rted to Mr. Farwell. Earlier, Dr. Jarvis’
expression turned slightly grim when | talked about Herbscape Group with her.”
Jack scrutinized him without agreeing or disagreeing with what he said. Instead, he acted surprised and cocked a brow. “Is that
so? | don’t think | paid attention to that.”
In other words, Jack was mocking Colby for putting all his attention on Roxanne.
Colby intended to stir up conflict between Jack and Lucian so that he could take advantage of the rivalry and win Roxanne over.
However, he did not expect Jack to beat him to it by mocking him for what he just said.
He frowned and stared at Jack warily. “Mr. Damaris, what do you mean by that?”
Jack raised his brows. “Nothing. I’m just curious. Dr. Galloway, you seem to understand a lot about Ms. Jarvis.”
Despite not knowing much about Roxanne’s past, Colby refused to show weakness in front of Jack.
A brief moment of silenceter, Colby nodded calmly in response to that.
Jack curled his lips into a meaningful smile. “Really? Dr. Galloway, | always thought you were only colleagues with Ms. Jarvis.”
Then, he deliberately put on an apologetic look. “After hearing what you said, | finally realized I''d misunderstood your rtionship
all this while. But then, what is going on between Ms. Jarvis and Mr. Farwell? Dr. Galloway, why did you make it sound as though
they got into a fight?”
Colby frowned at that. He knew there must be something going on between Roxanne and Lucian. Otherwise, Lucian would not
have shown up at her ce in the middle of the night and stood forward to help her when she was targeted by the public.
Colby believed Lucian must be pursuing Roxanne. However, judging from Jack’s tone, he reckoned there must be more beyond
his understanding of the two.
He could not help thinking there was something more behind Roxanne and Lucian’s rtionship.
When he came to that realization, his face fell.
Jack stared at him in amusement. “Dr. Galloway, what’s wrong? Well, you can choose not to tell me if it''s something you don’t
feelfortable sharing.”
Jack had spent much effort to finally find out more about Lucian and Roxanne’s rtionship. Roxanne and the Farwell family had
been keeping their rtionship a secret from everyone else. Only a few individuals were aware of it.
Jack was confident that Colby was not among the few individuals who knew about their rtionship. Colby had only yed along
with what Jack had said because he suspected Jack’s rtionship with Roxanne. He intended to make Jack feel jealous of
Lucian. If a fight broke out between Jack and Lucian over this, Colby could benefit from the rivalry, as he would surely have one
lesser love rival.
