Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 1621

Jack was vexed with the woman in his rearview mirror.

It has only been several days since I last met her. How did she become so sharp-tongued?

Jack's anger dissipated as his gaze swept past the aroma lamp hidden under the passenger seat. His eyes continued to gleam with hostility.

Soon, this mouth won't be able to utter a single word.

At that thought, Jack felt exhilarated.

“Don't you ever forget that it was my idea to develop this medicine, Ms. Jarvis. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten so far in the research.”

He kept his composure and started engaging her in small talk to delay the time.

Roxanne thought the car smelled of essential oil but quickly dismissed the idea since she could not locate the source. She ended up assuming the faint fragrance was Jack's car perfume.

She nodded gently upon hearing Jack's comment. “That's true. If you hadn't mentioned anything about it, I wouldn't have had the courage to begin the research. Anyhow, I depended on my own strengths and capabilities to develop the medicine and bring the idea to fruition.”

Initially, Roxanne was rather dubious about the whole matter too.

She debated multiple times if she should brand the medicine under the Damaris family name because Jack was the one who proposed it first.

It has only been several days since I last met her. How did she become so sharp-tongued?

However, Lucian rejected her idea without any hesitation.

He justified that Jack merely gave a passing comment and had not involved himself in any parts of the research process. The success of the medicine was solely owed to Roxanne's efforts.

He truly believed that Jack could have proposed that idea to anyone, but only Roxanne could have created the medicine.

If I were to listen to Jack and give him credit for the medicine developed, does it mean that I could also do the same and share a crazy idea with any Tom, Dick, and Harry, then request to be credited when the idea came true in the future? Obviously, this is absurd!
