Chapter 1223


    Roxanne was rendered speechless at that. After all, it was indeed true that the three of them had been


    in charge of the project since the beginning.Naturally, I wouldn’t shoot myself in the foot, so that leaves


    only Jack and Colby. That being said, I don’t want to doubt any of them since one of them is the project


    leader while the other is my longtime partner.Seeing how adamant she was, Lucian felt his anger rise.


    “If I remember correctly, Jack had something to do with the fire incident at the research institute


    previously as well.”Hearing that, Roxanne gave him a confused look. Why would he say something like


    that?She then said, “Mr. Damaris left after delivering those medicines, so what do you mean when you


    said that incident has something to do with him?”Not wanting to get into an argument with Lucian, she


    reined in her temper and added gently, “You of all people should know how those medicines came to


    be, so why would Mr. Damaris do something that won’t benefit him at all?After speaking, she raised her


    head to look at Lucian’s cold expression and heaved a helpless sigh inwardly before continuing,


    “Lucian, you need to calm down. You can’t just say something like this based on your own subjective


    emotions without any evidence to support it.”With how smart, sharp, and decisive Lucian is, his


    irrational words now are making me doubt whether the man before me is really the CEO of Farwell


    Group.“I am calm.” Fury was bubbling deep within Lucian’s heart, and he uttered coldly, “That storage


    room of your research institute has had no problems for so many years, but it burns up the moment he


    stored his medicines in it. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?”In response, Roxanne


    patiently exined, “There really weren’t any problems when he stored the medicines in the room. If


    you don’t believe me, feel free to ask Dr. Galloway about it since he was there at the time.” As she


    spoke, she kept her gaze trained on Lucian’s face, her eyes glinting with emotions known only to


    herself.He looks so angry whenever he talks about the fire incident. There isn’t a single trace that


    suggests he’s faking it, so I guess I can finally stop suspecting him. I’ve misunderstood him. I’m certain


    now that he has nothing to do with the fire.Hearing her words, Lucian seemed to recall something and


    stated coldly, “Your words just reminded me that Dr. Galloway was at the scene of the fire as


    well.”Roxanne snapped back to her senses when she realized that her words had caused Lucian toExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    cast his doubt on Colby.She tried to exin, “This incident has nothing to do with them. We’ve already


    looked into this. Turns out, someone bribed one of the researchers at the institute to go in and set the


    fire…”Unexpectedly, Lucian’s expression darkened further the more she tried to exin. “Well, who


    else could have done this except Jack?”Words eluded Roxanne once again.She knew there was some


    truth in his words. After all, there was only a handful of people in Horington who was capable of finding


    out the background of all personnel in the research institute and bribing them in such a short period of


    time. The same goes for the people that were involved in the project.Before this, Roxanne had always


    suspected Lucian to have had a hand in this. As such, she didn’t entertain the possibility that it could


    have been someone else.However, now that she had eliminated all her doubts about Lucian, Jack was


    looking more and more to be the culprit.Nheless, she was still of the opinion that Jack had no


    reason to do such a thing.“It seems like you trust him very much,” Lucian scoffed. “Your trust in Colby is


    built through years of cooperation, but what about Jack? How long have you known each other? Do


    you really know him that well?”
