Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1655

Chapter 1655 Suffer Such A Tragedy

Jonathan didn't know what to say in response to Lucian's remark. All he could do was comfort the latter awkwardly.

“This isn't on you. The fault lies with Jack. No matter what you did or didn't do, he would've still looked for an opportunity to make a move against Roxanne.”

After he had said that, something occurred to him, and he continued, “He must have an ulterior motive in doing this. I wonder what it is.”

Lucian hadn't planned on keeping it from Jonathan's knowledge. Hence, he told the latter briefly about the negotiation between him and Jack when they met just now.

“Has he lost his mind?”

After Jonathan heard about Jack's terms, incredulity showed on his face.

Never mind that he wants ten of Farwell Group's most profitable subsidiaries since Lucian can swiftly make up for them with his capabilities, but what right do they have to make decisions on Roxanne's behalf about her research institute's collaboration when she's still in a coma? Worse still, he even wants Lucian to marry another woman! What exactly is his motive here?

Meanwhile, repulsion brimmed in Lucian's eyes. “I have no problems with all the other terms other than the final one. I'd never agree to it.”

I finally won her over, and I'll never let her go again. Even in death, she has to die with me!

Jonathan sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the man, but he had no idea what was running through his mind then. For some inexplicable reason, his heart jolted.

Nonetheless, the man beside him was still his childhood friend. As such, he merely shuddered but composed himself in the next heartbeat.

Nodding, he seconded, “Jack has gone too far, his greed knowing no bounds. Sooner or later, he'll reap the consequences of his actions.”

Subsequently, the two of them solemnly discussed the plan three days later if they still couldn't find a way to rouse Roxanne by then, and Jack remained adamant about those three conditions.

At that moment in time, Frieda was in the kitchen.

It so happened that she heard Lucian arriving when she came downstairs to get herself a glass of water.
