Chapter 1657 Regarding Himself Far Too Highly
A sh of hesitation flittered across Frieda''s eyes.
But at the thought that Roxanne was an indispensable part of their subsequent n, she ultimately relented, “Okay, got it. I''ll go
and ask him about it.”
Thereafter, Jonathan added, “Don''t contact him anymore after the incident this time! Someone willing to help Aubree is definitely
no decent man!”
Frieda was chagrined inwardly, but she still agreed docilely on the surface. Then, she spun on her heel and went upstairs.
When she returned to her room, she called the phone number Shawn gave her for the first time.
In no time, someone answered the call on the other end of the phone.
“Why did you call me at this hour, Ms. Queen? Are you missing me?”
Shawn''s voice was incredibly suggestive.
Enthralled by his voice, Frieda fell into a trance for several seconds.
Following that, Shawn chuckled, his eyes sparkling with devious glee. “We truly have a telepathic connection.”
That caught Frieda off guard. “Huh? What do you mean?”
“| happened to be thinking of you, and you called me. What''s that if not a telepathic connection?” Shawn teased.
Splotches of crimson slowly stained Frieda''s face. She went silent for a few seconds before she finally seeded in suppressing
the shyness and delight within her. Feigning calmness, she stated, “I''m seeking you out for something important.”
Shawn''s expression remained indifferent, but he sounded earnest beyond words. “What is it? As long as it''s something to do with
you, I''ll definitely spare no effort.”
To him, it was truly a piece of cake to manipte a naive girl like Frieda.
When Frieda heard that, her heart fluttered once more. Her voice also softened considerably. “Roxanne has been poisoned, and
no one is able to cure her for the time being. I''d like to ask whether you are acquainted with any skilled doctors.”
What? Something has happened to Roxanne?
In a sh, Shawn''s expression turned frosty.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
If my memory serves, she''s Lucian''s lover. Yet, someone dared to make a move against her?
“Who did it? And what is the culprit''s motive?” Shawn questioned icily.
The change in his tone took Frieda aback momentarily before she gathered her wits about her. “It was Jack Damaris. From the
conversation between my brother and Lucian, | heard that he seemingly wants to use Roxanne to ckmail Lucian, hoping to
obtain some benefits from thetter.”
“Him? What a joke! Is he even worthy of having designs on the Farwell family? He''s merely from a prestigious family in the
medical field. Clearly, he regards himself far too highly! How dare he steal my prey from me!”
Shawn snorted disdainfully.
The Farwell family''s rival can only be me! If anyone dares to interfere, that''s akin to challenging me!
His tone struck terror into Frieda. In a daze, she felt like she had again seen the man who negotiated with Aubree that night. Her
attraction toward him instantly disappeared into thin air. Fearful, she remained quiet, not daring to utter a word.
“| got it. There''s indeed a renowned doctor living in seclusion in the north. I''ll send someone to invite him over immediately. Tell
Lucian not to agree to Jack''s terms!” Shawn asserted.
If Farwell Group were to be affected by this matter, it''d be downright boring for me when | make my move against Lucian in the
future!
Frieda acquiesced softly.
Seemingly sensing her fear, Shawn gentled his voice. “I''m only helping because of you. If it weren''t for you, | wouldn''t care
whether Roxanne lives or dies.”
Despite all he had said mere moments ago, Frieda couldn''t help believing him. She again found herself falling for him.
“If | manage to convince that doctor to ept my invitation, I''ll being back with him tomorrow. Will youe and pick me
up?” Shawn coaxed, his eyes narrowed a fraction.
Unbidden, Frieda''s heart skipped a beat. “Yeah. Just tell me the time.”
Chuckling deeply, Shawn fed her a few more honeyed words before hanging up the phone.
