The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169 No.
That’s not possible.
Jack wasn’t around when I did it.
Moreover, Roxanne’s unconscious right now, so I’m the only one with the right
to check the surveillance cameras of the lab.
No one will be able to check the footage without my permission.
Even tf Jack is suspicious about my involvement, there’s nothing he can do tf I
deny everything.
With that thought in mind, Colby relaxed.
“Weren’t you the one who has been working on the experiment with Dr.Jarvis
lately? I wasn’t sure about your experiment’s details, and that’s why I didn’t dare
to open the bottle right away—that’s why I asked you guys to take a look at it.”
In other words, he was implying that he had stayed away from the lab
countertop to ensure that the experiment would go smoothly without his
presence.
After hearing his explanation, Jack looked at him skeptically before saying,
“Dr.Galloway, don’t you think it’s such a coincidence? Why did something
happen precisely when I wasn’t around?”
Colby shrugged, his expression remaining unchanged.
“I’m not sure either.”
Then, he shifted the topic and said, “What’s most important now is Dr.Jarvis’
condition.I wonder how she is right now.Where did Mr.Farwell take her to? Can
we visit her?”
The mention of Lucian caused a dark look to descend upon Jack’s face again.
“Why did Lucian find out about Ms.Jarvis’ poisoning?”
Colby suffened, but he soon uttered in a confident tone, “Dr.Jarvis seems to be
in a good relationship with Mr.Farwell, who’s in charge of the powerful Farwell
Group of Horington.Of course I’m going to look for Mr.Farwell after what
happened to Dr.Jarvis.i was hoping he could provide her with the best medical
resources.”
The grim look on Jack’s face turned even more intense.
“Dr.Galloway, have you forgotten that the Damaris family is more well-known in
the medical industry?”
Colby retorted calmly, “I did, but you didn’t seem like you were going to send her
to the hospital, and I couldn’t convince you otherwise.So, I had no choice but to
look for Mr.Farwell.”
Jack glared at him for a few more seconds before uttering, “I hope that really
was what happened.”
With that, Jack strode toward his car.Colby’s voice sounded out behind him.
“Mr.Damaris, when will we continue with our research?”
As if he did not hear Colby, Jack closed his car door and drove away from the
research institute.
Jack had a sneaking suspicion that Colby was involved in both the poisoning
incident and the fire at the research institute.
However, for now, he neither had the evidence to prove that nor did he have the
time to look into the matter.
Although Colby was acting suspicious, there was one thing he had gotten right
—what was most important at that moment was Roxanne’s condition.
Where did Lucian take her to? Delight danced in Colby’s eyes as he watched
Jack’s car head down the road.
He’s finally gone! For the past few days, Colby would feel annoyed every time
he saw Jack’s luxury car parked by the research institute’s entrance.He did not
want to see Jack around at all.
Even though Roxanne never really paid him any heed in the past, he had been
the only one by her side in the research institute.
Hence, Colby could lic to himself by thinking that he sull had a chance with her.
Yet, ever since Jack got into the picture, Jack had taken over Colby’s position
and diminished the last flicker of hope within him.
At present, Colby finally got rid of Jack.
In fact, it seemed like his efforts had not gone to waste —he had succeeded in
pitting Lucian against Jack.
If everything went as he planned, he could stand on the sidelines and watch the
drama unfold.
While Lucian and Jack were busy fighting against each other, he would choose
the right time to appear by Roxanne’s side.
Colby refused to believe that Roxanne would still turn a blind eye to him by
then.
