The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1560

The following day, Lucian tried to persuade her to stay home, but she was hesitant. When she was about to give in, she received a call from Linda. “Dr. Jarvis, we have encountered some problems with Damaris Group. We might need your help to resolve them.”

Linda sounded serious.

Roxanne’s expression, too, darkened. “What happened?”

She could tell Jack might have lost his patience and thrown a fit.

Initially, she had intended to follow Lucian’s advice and give Jack the cold shoulder for a couple more days before discussing the distribution of profits with him.

To her surprise, Jack’s patience has worn thin much quicker than anticipated.

Roxanne somehow knew what Linda was about to tell her.

“The medicinal herbs we use to develop our drugs have run out. When we reached out to Damaris Group for a restock, they refused to provide us with the necessary materials.” Linda, who did not participate in the negotiation between Roxanne and Jack, had no idea the two sides had parted on bad terms.

She was struck dumb when Damaris Group declined her request.

That was why she immediately called Roxanne to ask for help after regaining her senses.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne’s expression darkened slightly. “Do we not have any medicinal herbs left?”

Linda responded, “We do have some, but it’s only sufficient for small-scale production. However, since we’ve finished the product registration, we’re preparing to start mass production. Therefore, the limited quantity we possess won’t be enough. Moreover, we’ve already invested a substantial amount of money into the production workshop, so it won’t be feasible for us to cover the costs in a short period of time. The scarcity of medicinal herbs will significantly impact our production, resulting in substantial losses to our business.”
