Chapter 1237


    Sensing that she was out of sorts, Lucian felt like probing further. However, he swallowed his words at


    thest moment when he thought of their previous interaction. Even when the table had been set up,


    neither of them said a word.As for the three children, who were already seated at the table, the sight of


    their parents busying themselves brought glee to their faces.The delight they exuded gradually


    softened Roxanne’s heart.Even though Roxanne had calmed down after dinner, the results of the


    investigations from the afternoon were still on her mind. “Mr. Farwell, are you ready to talk about


    it?”Filled with curiosity, the children inquired with their childish voices, “Talk about what?”Roxanne


    shed a smile at them. “It rtes to the research institute and has nothing to do with you. Go out and


    y now.”In response, the children looked toward Lucian for verification.Thetter affirmed in a serious


    tone, “Go on now.”Only then did they slowly make their way out of the mansion.Both of them settled


    down on the couch with coffee by their respective sides.“How is the investigationing along? Is


    there any progress?” With her brows slightly knitted, Roxanne was filled with concern. “Is it rted to


    Mr. Damaris…”Refusing to believe that Jack was capable of something like that, she was anxious for


    an answer.However, her mention of Jack caused Lucian’s eyes to narrow.He still couldn’t shake the


    scene from the surveince cameras of her happily chatting with Jack.Even now, she’s still worried


    about him.Lucian felt an uncontroble fit of rage welling up inside him.However, the thought of her


    busy silhouette in the kitchen earlier helped him suppress his anger with remorse.After a slight pause,


    Lucian began to speak. “As of now, there’s no concrete evidence of any kind that points to Jack.” Even


    though his words triggered a sigh of relief from Roxanne, he continued speaking before she could


    dere that Jack wasn’t involved.“That itself makes him more of a suspect.”Roxanne knitted her brows


    in shock. “What makes you say that?”When Lucian sensed how protective she was over Jack, his tone


    took a turn. “I’ve checked the surveince feeds but didn’t find anything incriminating in them. However,


    Jack is the one who has spent the most time in theb other than you. A few minutes before the


    incident, he went out to take a call. Wasn’t it too much of a coincidence?”Furthermore, his suspicions


    were intensified by the deep understanding Jack had on poisons.Thinking back to what happened theThis text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    previous day, Roxanne began to waver.Although it was true that Jack coincidentally left theb then,


    she still couldn’t ept casting suspicion upon the very person who had invited her to join the


    project.Moreover, she felt that Lucian was being influenced by his personal emotions in making the


    usation.Holding that thought, Roxanne sighed under her breath. “If you’re using Mr. Damaris


    without any corroborating evidence, I would advise you to be more rational in your investigation, Mr.


    Farwell.”As they lock gazes with each other, Lucian’s displeasure couldn’t be any more


    obvious.Nevertheless, Roxanne maintained eye contact without any intention of backing down.After a


    long while, Lucian finally retracted his gaze and got to his feet, all while desperately suppressing the


    anger within him. “I have sent the drugs you used that day for tests. We’ll talk about the results once


    they’re out. As for your advice, I’ll keep that in mind.”With that, Lucian turned and left before Roxanne


    could respond.After watching the video from the surveince cameras and seeing how protective she


    was of Jack, Lucian couldn’t predict what he would do if he continued the conversation.Losing his


    composure in front of her was something he swore not to repeat.
