Leaving The Country After Divorce novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1819

Chapter 1819 No Need

Smugly, Frieda asked her assistant to call Roxanne's research institute and company to settle their payments. I'm going to give her a headache and make her yield to me!

Soon after, her assistant entered her office with a smile.

“We've received the payment, Ms. Queen.” Her assistant was delightfully waiting for Frieda to praise or reward her with a bonus.

However, Frieda's expression darkened frightfully. “They did? Tens of millions? All of it?”

The assistant didn't understand why her employer seemed upset that they had received the payment.

Her smile faded as she nodded. “Yes, all of it.”

It was Frieda's turn to be confused. I thought Roxanne would refuse to settle the payment. Her materials now cost more than ten million, after all. No company would ignore such a price difference.

Panickily, she gestured for her assistant to leave and immediately called Shawn.

After briefing him about the situation, she asked, “Lucian and Roxanne aren't planning anything, are they?”

Shawn remained silent for a while. I didn't expect this to happen. Usually, companies would express strong resistance when their suppliers suddenly raise the price. Then, they'll renegotiate their deal. So, what's going on?

Despite his thoughts, he reassured, “No need to panic. You've received the money, and these companies are now firmly in your grasp. There's nothing for you to be afraid of.”

“Okay. I'll meet you at the mansion tonight.” Frieda missed him.

“Okay.” Upon hanging up the call, Shawn kept thinking about his enemies' plans.

Not long after, he suddenly realized something. Looking like a deflated balloon, he muttered, “It seems like I've lost this round.”
