Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1736

Chapter 1736 You Are Lying

The entire time, Lucian said nothing. All he did was vented his frustration by kicking and punching Jack.

In the end, Jack was unable to say anything. He could only breathe deeply to try to minimize the pain.

After a long while, he was immune to the beating. It was only then Lucian stopped hitting him.

Jack's heart sank.

Roxanne must have developed the antidote.

Jack found it hard to believe.

It had taken him a long time to concoct the antidote. Yet, Roxanne managed to do the same within a day.

How is that possible?

When he saw the coldness and disdain on Lucian's face, Jack could not help but shudder.

All the while, he had been very confident when he faced Lucian because of Roxanne's antidote.

However, at that moment, he had no leverage against Lucian. He felt only a deep sense of fear when he looked at him.

Lucian was indeed the tyrant in the business world. His aura was so overwhelming that Jack found it hard to breathe.

“M-Mr. Farwell, let's sit down and have a chat. Even if Ms. Jarvis has managed to develop the antidote, I'm sure there will be some flaws. I can—”

He wanted Lucian to let him off because of that.

However, when he mentioned Roxanne, Lucian grabbed him by his collar and lifted the top half of his body off the table.

Fear flashed across Jack's eyes. He had no idea what Lucian was up to.

With a grim look on his face, Lucian uttered through gritted teeth, “How dare you mention Roxanne? Roxanne suffered so much because of a hypocrite like you. I'm sure you are aware of that!”

Jack's lips began to quiver. He was dumbfounded by Lucian's ice-cold gaze.

With a cold smile, Lucian continued to question him, “If I remember correctly, you wanted to watch me climb the stairs half an hour ago, didn't you, Mr. Damaris? If Roxanne hasn't managed to come up with the antidote, what other things do you have in mind for me, Mr. Damaris?”

Before Jack could respond, he felt someone stomping on one of his legs.

The sharp pain caused Jack to grimace in agony.

“Do you want me to lick your shoes as well, Mr. Damaris?” mocked Lucian.

Jack was feeling both fearful and astonished at the same time.

Lucian had basically told him that Roxanne had managed to concoct the antidote.

“N-No way! There's no way anyone can crack my formula for the antidote! Impossible! It took me so long to develop it. How could Roxanne have taken one day to create the antidote? You're lying!” Jack muttered with his head down.

When he was done, he looked up at Lucian and sought the truth.

“Roxanne has died, hasn't she? Is she dead? That's why you are here for revenge, aren't you?”

He would rather believe that Roxanne was dead than believe that she had cracked his formula for the antidote.

Furthermore, Roxanne was on the verge of dying.

Lucian eyed him disdainfully and said coldly, “What's wrong, Mr. Damaris? Did you think that your poison was so powerful? You aren't willing to believe that Roxanne has managed to crack your formula after you have spent so much time concocting the poison, am I right? To be honest, I have to thank you, Mr. Damaris. She's able to create the antidote because you have given her the chance to be awake! As for you, be prepared to pay the price for your actions!”
