Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1543

Chapter 1543 Refused To Collaborate

Jack was stumped for words upon hearing that.

A short pause later, he stood up from the couch and said, “If that's the case, there's nothing left for us to discuss.”

After saying that, Jack turned around and strode out of the office, slamming the door shut behind him.

Roxanne's eyes were filled with shock as the thunderous boom rang in her ears.

“Did that startle you?” Lucian said while walking to her side.

Upon hearing his voice, Roxanne gradually returned to her senses and said in an emotional voice, “I'm fine. I just did not expect to see that side of Jack.”

Roxanne's response made Lucian's admiration for her grow. The man wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

Letting out a sigh, Roxanne said, “Are all businessmen that two-faced?”

Lucian stroked her back reassuringly and replied, “Would you be scared if I'm like that too?”

Roxanne fell silent while trying to imagine the tactics that Lucian would employ in the business arena.

After a while, it dawned on her that she already knew Lucian's way of doing things like the back of her hand and had long accepted it.

“Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised at all.” Roxanne smiled.

Lucian did not seem pleased with that answer. “Is that really who you think I am?” he asked.

Roxanne pulled away from his embrace and met his eyes before explaining, “I just think you were very attractive when you analyzed the situation for me just now. It felt like your true self.”

If not for Lucian's ruthless ways and sharp business acumen, the Farwell family wouldn't be enjoying their current success.
