Chapter 1647 Someone I Cannot Have
After leaving the prison, Lucian returned to his car with a heavy heart.
Roxanne's condition had already left him feeling suffocated, and his conversation with Colby didn't help either.
In fact, he was even more dumbfounded than ever.
Now that I think of it, Roxanne probably distanced herself from me on several occasions because I was getting too close to the boys. Was she afraid that I'd find out about their background? Or was she worried I'd marry Aubree and fight for custody of the kids? Argh! What is it exactly...
Lucian's mind was a tangled mess, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why Roxanne did what she did.
Eventually, he had no choice but to set the matter aside.
If I want to know her reasons, I can always ask her when she's awake. The top priority now is to get her out of the coma!
Back at Damaris Group, Jack returned to his office after getting someone to send Hector away.
Surprisingly, Lucian's hardball tactics from that afternoon had worked their magic.
Even though Jack's expression remained impassive, he quickly instructed his assistant, Kevin, to prepare a list of Farwell Group's subsidiaries.
Come to think of it, Farwell Group's subsidiaries do have more room for development than the research institute and pharmaceuticals. Why shouldn't I consider Lucian's offer when the main thing I'm after is money?
As it turned out, Farwell Group had almost a hundred subsidiaries, but Kevin did an excellent job sorting them out and listing all the details.
With that, Jack began reading through and making a careful selection.
