The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1677

Chapter 1677 Business Genius

The phone rang for almost one minute before Jack answered the call.

“Who is this?” Jack's voice was dripping with arrogance and disdain.

Lucian responded calmly, “It's me, Lucian.”

“Oh, it's you,” Jack drawled in exaggeration as though he had just realized who it was. “Mr. Farwell, hello. I thought it was someone else who was rude enough to interrupt me while I was busy working.”

He was saying that Lucian was rude enough to interrupt him at work.

Lucian pretended to be oblivious to Jack's mockery and replied calmly, “It looks like I picked the wrong time to call. Mr. Damaris, if you're occupied, then you can call me back when you're free.”

He fell silent after saying that but didn't end the call.

On the other end of the phone, Jack grew flustered when he heard Lucian indicating that he wanted to end the conversation. “Wait a minute!"

Lucian arched a brow, for Jack's reaction was within his anticipation.

“No matter how busy my schedule may be, I need to make time for you since you took the initiative to call me, Mr. Farwell," Jack sneered. "How can I help you? If my memory serves me correctly, it isn't time yet as we agreed upon three days.”

Lucian was unperturbed. “As long as I'm willing to give in, any day works. I believe you never wanted anything to happen to Roxanne, do you?”

Most of Jack's requests involved Roxanne, so if anything were to happen to her, even if Jack got the research institute for himself, he would never be able to realize its maximum potential.

Hearing that, Jack grew increasingly smug. "You're right, Mr.

Farwell. That was what I thought, too.”
