Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 650

Chapter 650

Roxanne leveled a stare at Lucian as if she was questioning him about the reason he was accusing her like so many others who did not know any better.

Lucian was momentarily stumped.

He was angry at himself for saying things that he should not have said. His tone was gentler when he spoke again. “That’s not what I meant.”

Lucian simply did not wish to see her leave with another man.

However, his clarification was to no avail. Roxanne’s face stiffened as she rebutted, “What could you possibly mean to say then, Mr. Farwell?”

Lucian frowned and cast a glance at Jack before saying, “After the commotion just now, my efforts to defend you would be in vain if you should be spotted to leave with Mr. Damaris.”

Then, his gaze drifted from Jack back to Roxanne as he said in a low voice, “I know you might not feel very grateful for my help just now, but I don’t wish to see my efforts going down the drain either. Do consider my stand in the matter, Ms. Jarvis.”

Roxanne was taken aback. His words. had managed to sway her.

Lucian had a point. So many people had witnessed the drama just now, and they all had heard what Jessica said.

If Lucian had not stopped Jessica, Roxanne knew she would have been labeled as the woman who had only secured the collaboration with Jack because of her pretty face, and the slander would have tarnished the

Damaris family’s reputation as well.

It had taken much effort on Lucian’s part to clear her name, but it would all have been for nothing if Jack was spotted sending her home.

People who were cager to slander her name would jump at the chance and accuse her of being involved with Jack.

Roxanne knew that the tide of public opinion would turn against her.
