    CHAPTER 1765 WHAT IS HIS MOTIVE


    “Got it. I''ll be more careful around her,” Roxanne concurred with a smile, knowing that her best friend


    was merely warning her for her own good.


    Only then was Madilyn satisfied. In no time, the two of them chatted about other things, the atmosphere


    very much rxed.


    Meanwhile, Jonathan had just finished handling Jack''s matter and returned to the Queen family from


    the police station.


    The instant he stepped in the door, he was greeted by the sight of his sister sitting on the couch,


    watching television distractedly and ncing in the direction of the door every so often.


    As soon as Frieda spotted him, her expression changed, and she greeted him enthusiastically.

    “I''ve seen the news and learned that Jack has been arrested, Jonathan. So, Roxanne has probably


    regained consciousness as well, right?”


    In response, Jonathan bobbed his head. “Yeah. She regained consciousnessst night. We''d been


    busy with Jack''s matter, so we hadn''t the time to tell you about it.”


    It was thanks to his sister engaging Peregrine''s services that Roxanne could wake up from hera


    this time.


    Thus, it was only right for him to notify her about the matter.


    He initially thought that Frieda would be chagrined, but unexpectedly, he did not glimpse a hint of


    disgruntlement on her face.


    Just as he was wondering about it, his sister''s meaningful voice drifted into the air.


    “Old Mr. Lomax must have yed a pivotal role in the matter, huh? Did Lucian not say anything about


    it?”


    In other words, she was iming credit from him.


    Jonathan''s brows creased imperceptibly, and he felt a touch irked.


    True enough, her contribution was crucial in the matter this time. Hence, it''s only natural for Lucian to


    thank her. Even so, she should let him take the initiative to offer her a token of appreciation. How could


    she ask for it herself? Moreover, her help toward Roxanne is, in a sense, an atonement for the foolish


    things she did in the past. How could she have the nerve to ask for a gift?


    When Frieda received no response, her expression turned resentful. “You know how difficult it was to


    convince Old Mr. Lomax to help. I spent tremendous effort to save Roxanne. No matter what I did in the


    past, I don''t owe her anything anymore!”


    At once, Jonathan''s expression darkened. “What are you talking about?”


    “Is that not true? Your rtionship with her is close, and you''re willing to save her, but not me! Even if


    she had saved Grandpa previously, the medicinal herbs we gave her were more than enough to repay


    that debt of gratitude. I''m not willing to do her such a huge favor for nothing!” Frieda retorted in


    displeasure.


    “Shut up!”


    Jonathan''s face went as ck as thunder. Scrutinizing his sister, he proceeded to demand, “Tell me the


    truth. How did you get Old Mr. Lomax to help? Did you really find his contact on the Inte? Or was it


    the credit of the man behind you?”


    He did not believe that Peregrine''s contact information could be obtained so easily.


    Back then, he did not harp on it because he did not have the time to do so.


    Since Frieda was presently adamant about a thank-you gift, he felt that it was necessary for him to get


    to the bottom of things.


    He stared at his sister intently. “Was it also him who taught you to say all this? What''s his motive?”


    Those questions of his hit Frieda like a series of cannonballs.


    After all, she had never discussed how to answer such questions with Shawn.


    In a sh, guilt swamped her. She opened her mouth, but no words of justification came out.


    At that, Jonathan''s heart slowly sank to rock bottom. “You turned a deaf ear to everything I said to you,


    huh?”
