The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1958

Chapter 1958 A Frozen Smile

Roxanne's heart fell as her pity for Grant was instantly wiped clean.

She forced a smile that was tinged with bitterness. "Well then, I guess his divorce from Winnie was just a ploy to garner sympathy. I wonder what his motivations are behind all these.”

Lucian nodded his head. Someone of his status would not care for someone like Grant. However, he was worried about Roxanne being upset over having such a father.

“Perhaps he's trying to get close to you now that you possess the wealth he desires.”

Lucian's words eliminated the need for further analysis of Grant's actions.

Roxanne felt so disappointed that she resolved never to give her errant father another chance.

One week later, Roxanne no longer frequented the research institute often, yet new medicine was being produced incessantly.

The pricing set by the medical company meant that they were suffering losses every month. Flora Verba Group flourished under James' leadership, whereby its profits kept increasing until it was sufficient to cover the cost it took to research the medicine.

The officials in the company had invited Roxanne to attend their commendation assembly multiple times and wished to crown her with several titles of honor, all of which she'd refused.

Harvey had taught her not to pursue pointless fame.

He could have generated a fortune yet had chosen to remain a research professor.

On that day, Roxanne led Peregrine and several higher-ups in the research institute to the hotel. They were preparing to meet with a medical company from Adrune to discuss patent rights.

Although they suffered losses locally, granting their patent to an international company would help them generate more profit.
