    Chapter 919 Injured In The Fire


    The four were having dinner when the doorbell suddenly rang. Lysa went to answer the door.


    “Hello, Ms. Lane!” a child greeted politely at the mansion’s door. Then, Lysa was heard saying, “Ms.


    Jarvis, Mr. Farwell and Essie are here.”


    Hearing that, Roxanne’s hand froze in mid-air. She was at a loss for words at that moment.


    Ever since what happened the other night, she and Lucian had never seen each other. She had no


    idea why he woulde to her ce out of the blue.


    She also did not know how to face him. Just when she was hesitating to invite him and Este inside,


    Archie and Benny were already weing them excitedly.


    “Essie,e on in. Have you eaten dinner? If not, you can join us!”


    Naturally, Este did not decline their invitation. Soon, she followed Archie and Benny into the dining


    room.


    The adults, Lucian and Roxanne, remained silent throughout the process. The kids were the ones


    making the decision instead. “Ms. Jarvis!” Upon seeing Roxanne, Este immediately snuggled up to


    her.


    Archie and Benny were used to that and quickly emptied the seat next to Roxanne. Este smiled


    sweetly at Archie and Benny before taking her seat next to Roxanne.


    “Mr. Farwell,e and join us!” Benny looked at the man standing in the living room.


    Hearing that, Roxanne tensed up a little and felt somewhat uneasy. If Lucian were to sit across from


    her, she was worried she could not eat dinner in peace.


    Then, she heard Lucian’s low voice ring out from behind her, saying, “It’s okay. You guys go ahead with


    Essie.”


    With that, Lucian nced at Roxanne’s back with his dark gaze before sitting on the couch


    expressionlessly.


    Even though he wasn’t standing before her, Roxanne still slowed down eating visibly, and her mind was


    a mess.


    Earlier that afternoon, Herbscape Group once again received enormous bacsh from the public. In


    the news report, the mostly deserted entrance to Herbscape Group was filled with several executives


    who had their hands handcuffed before they were escorted to the police cars.


    It was not until that day that the public finally got confirmation about Herbscape Group’s fate. It ended


    up being acquired by Farwell Group.


    Roxanne did not have to think twice to know Farwell Group must have saved a lot of money to acquire


    Herbscape Group in such a situation.


    Did Lucian n all of these? Also, what about the fire at the research institute?

    With that in her mind, Roxanne could not help feeling frightened.


    “Ms. Jarvis, here, have some.” Este ced some food on Roxanne’s te.


    Roxanne snapped back to her senses and forced a smile at her. “Thank you, Essie.”


    Este looked at her with great concern. “Ms. Jarvis, are you not in a good mood?”


    In the past, Roxanne would always take good care of them whenever they ate together. However, the


    woman seemed absent-minded this time and could barely take any food for herself.


    Hearing that, something flickered in Roxanne’s eyes, but she quickly concealed that and said, “Of


    course not. I’ve been busytely, so I’m feeling a little tired. Essie, you don’t have to worry about me.”


    Despite that, Este still stared at her with a worried expression and would asionally ce food on


    her te.


    At the same time, when Lucian heard what Roxanne said, he also fixed his gaze on her back


    inquisitively.


    He was reminded of what Jonathan told him.


    Is she really tired, or is she injured in the fire?
