Chapter 879 Something More
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 I 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? I don’t think I 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, I always thought you were only
colleagues with Ms. Jarvis.” Then, he deliberately put on an apologetic look. “After hearing what you
said, I 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.
