Chapter 1167
"Please excuse me," Jack said to the unconscious Roxanne before carefully reaching out to undo her button.
Colby was grimacing as he watched Jack's actions.
Right as Jack undid Roxanne's first button, a series of rapid footsteps rang out from outside the office.
Colby's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed his excitement and looked at the door in faked confusion.
On the other hand, Jack was too focused on treating Roxanne, so he did not hear the sounds at all.
For ventilation purposes, the door to the office was wide open.
The very second Lucian stepped into the office, he saw what Jack was doing.
"What are you doing?" Lucian already disliked Jack because of the latter's relationship with Roxanne.
Thus, he turned livid when he was greeted by the sight of Jack trying to take advantage of Roxanne while she was unconscious, and he dashed over right away.
Before Jack could react, he was punched in the face and stumbled a few steps back before finally regaining his balance.
"What are you trying to do to Roxanne while she's unconscious, Jack Damaris? I'm warning you now; you better stay away from her! She's mine!"
Lucian then pulled the unconscious Roxanne into his arms and glared at Jack viciously.
Jack had inhaled toxic gas, so he was weaker than Lucian.
After getting punched, he took a whole minute to recollect himself and instinctively attempt to retaliate.
Nevertheless, when he registered who had arrived, he tamped down his fury and licked the corner of his scraped lips.
"Ms.Jarvis has been poisoned.I'm afraid her life is in danger.I have to take off her shirt to perform acupuncture on her," he said in a low voice.
When Lucian heard that, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his gaze to look at the woman in his arms.
