    Chapter 1686 A Real Marriage


    Looking at Lucian''s and Elektra''s retreating backs, Jack felt another wave of vexation wash over him.

    He furrowed his brows and muttered to himself, “Childhood sweethearts? The Lane family? Isn''t that


    too much of a coincidence?”


    Regarding Lucian''s love for Roxanne, Jack was not at all doubtful about it. After all, he figured that


    Lucian would not have agreed to his request if that was not the case.


    Yet, he thought Elektra''s sudden appearance at this juncture was too much of a coincidence, so much


    that he could not help but feel suspicious.


    After some deliberation, Jack decided to call Kevin over. “Go and find out who exactly Elektra Lane is.”


    I must find out the truth so that I can feel assured.


    That very night, Kevin began his extensive search on Elektra.


    In less than half an hour, he retrieved some results.


    “Mr. Damaris, I''ve found it. As Mr. Farwell said, Elektra is indeed the daughter of the Lane family. The


    Lane family and the Farwell family are considered family friends. A few years ago, the Lanes decided


    to go overseas, and Elektra followed along too. However, there aren''t any clues as to why she''s back


    recently,” Kevin conveyed the investigation findings to Jack respectfully.


    Despite the lengthy report, Jack did not hear anything rted to the marriage. He knitted his brows in


    dismay. “What about the marriage between the Farwell family and the Lane family? It''s such a big


    matter. There''s no way the Lanes didn''t show any response whatsoever!”


    Looking at Lucian''s and Elektra''s retreating backs, Jack felt another wave of vexation wash over him.


    If I''m right, any family will be eager to announce it to the whole world if their daughter gets to marry


    Lucian. How is it possible that there''s no news from the Lane family?


    Jack was particrly suspicious about that.


    Kevin recalled his investigation findings and said cautiously, “I didn''t discover any reaction from the


    Lanes to the marriage news while I was investigating. It''s almost as if they didn''t know about the


    marriage...”


    Jack narrowed his eyes pensively. “No reaction? Perhaps they''re really clueless about this matter?”


    And one possible reason why they''re clueless is that Lucian and Elektra haven''t had time to inform


    them. Then again, it''s also possible that... this marriage is merely a ruse!


    Kevin was stunned to hear those words.


    Marriage is such an important matter. How can they not inform their family about it?


    Jack stayed silent for a long while, seemingly pondering over something. Frustration engulfed him


    initially, but that soon transformed into contempt and disdain. “Get someone to continue keeping an eye


    on the Lanes.”


    Even though Kevin did not quite understand Jack''s meaning, he politely nodded regardless and


    immediately left to execute the order.


    With that, Jack was the only one left in the living room.


    If I''m right, any family will be eager to announce it to the whole world if their daughter gets to marry


    Lucian. How is it possible that there''s no news from the Lane family?


    At the thought of Kevin''s findings report, Jack curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile.


    How interesting is it that the Lane family doesn''t know about the marriage? Don''t tell me the CEO of


    Farwell Group actually got driven to the edge of the cliff by me and had to fake his marriage? Or did


    Elektra and him agree to a paper marriage? But if that''s the case, I wonder what he did to win over the


    heiress of the Lane family. Her family background is so prominent, so why is she willing to be his


    nominal wife? Or should I say, is Lucian really that charming? Anyway, none of this matters. Whether or


    not it''s a real marriage, I''ll find out sooner orter by monitoring the Lane family''s response. If Lucian


    dares to deceive me regarding this matter...


    Jack narrowed his eyes dangerously.


    That bottle he gave Lucian was indeed the antidote that could save Roxanne.


    Nevertheless, it was impossible to entirely remove the toxins in Roxanne''s body based on just that tiny


    bottle of antidote alone.


    The amount in that bottle was only one-fifth of the dosage and was enough to keep Roxanne conscious


    for some time.


    After the antidote effects wear off, if Lucian keeps his promise and leaves Roxanne, I''ll naturally let


    Roxanne have the remaining dosage. But if he dares to lie to me, I''ll make sure he has to beg me for


    help by then!


    At the thought of Kevin''s findings report, Jeck curled the corners of his lips into a cold smile.
