Chapter 1233


    After a while, Lucian shifted his icy look away from Colby, to which thetter responded with a calm


    sigh of relief.


    Then, Colby reflexively stepped away and allowed Lucian to take his seat while he stood at the side.


    Both of them then watched yesterday’s surveince footage, starting with the experiment Roxanne was


    performing with Jack.


    In the footage, they saw Roxanne joking around with Jack.


    Colby was also in the footage, but he was a few steps behind Roxanne and Jack with an expression


    completely different from theirs.


    Overall, it seemed as though Colby was the only one focusing on the experiment while the other two


    were not involved in any work.


    Lucian always thought Roxanne was way too intimate with Jack.


    However, it was the first time he saw the two of them interacting with each other without his


    presence. They don’t look like business partners at all! It’spletely different from how Roxanne


    describes their rtionship.


    The longer he watched the footage, the colder his expression became. Even the surrounding


    temperature was dropping.


    He was further enraged when he saw Jack and Roxanne only needed to exchange a nce to know


    what each other was doing. When did the two of them start having this tacit agreement in whatever


    they do? If someone who doesn’t know the true nature of their rtionship sees this, they’ll think


    they’re a couple!


    His fury reached its peak after he saw Jack attempting to wipe Roxanne’s sweat away with tissue


    paper.


    On the side, Colby was confident if Roxanne hadn’t dodged Jack’s attempt, Lucian would’ve probably


    smashed the screen into pieces.


    As he continued watching the footage, he grew tenser.


    Even though he had ensured his doctored surveince footage was wless, he was still worried


    because Lucian was the one inspecting the footage with him.


    Lucian’s presence alone gave him a lot of pressure.

    When the screen disyed the footage he modified, it took him everything he got to remainposed.


    Carefully, Colby observed Lucian’s expression.


    Lucian merely furrowed his eyebrows. It was difficult for anyone to tell what he felt from his


    expressionless countenance, but that didn’t stop Colby from getting cold feet.


    It wasn’t until the surveince footage showed Jack carrying Roxanne out of theboratory that Lucian


    suddenly moved.


    Fear shed past Colby’s eyes.


    In response, he bit his lower lip hard, so much so that he could taste blood in his mouth, to steady his


    nerves.


    “Rey that section of the footage again,” Lucian ordered imposingly as he nced at him.


    Colby shuddered slightly in response and did as Lucian asked.


    It was the part right after the poison gas leaked into the room, and theboratory was thrown into


    chaos.


    Holding his breath, Colby blinked as he watched the footage again.


    From his perspective, he didn’t see anything odd.


    However, he was concerned Lucian had discovered something was out of ce. Why would Lucian


    ask him to roll back the footage otherwise?


    Therefore, he steeled himself and asked, “Did you see anything odd in the footage, Mr. Farwell?”


    The look in Lucian’s eyes remained grim as he watched that section of the footage until thest


    second. There’s nothing odd, which is precisely the problem. Aside from Jack, Roxanne, and Colby, no


    one else approached theb table. In that case, the only suspects are Jack and Colby, yet they didn’t


    act suspiciously in the footage at all!
