The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2038

Chapter 2038 This Is Extortion

Boiling hot water and preparing the coffee bean, Roxanne went through the actions leisurely after sitting in her office.

Nobody else followed them into the room as Orchid sat opposite her. As the two ladies took their seats, they watched each other as frostiness appeared in Orchid's eyes.

“Roxanne, tell me your conditions. What do you want me to do for you to give the research institute to me? You're married into a wealthy family now. You don't need to work so hard on your career, so let's hope your conditions won't piss me off!”

Roxanne kept quiet, as if she didn't hear Orchid's words at all.

Feeling agitated, Orchid fumed, “Why? Are you fooling around with me? Don't forget that it was me who helped you when you were in Epea. Without my help, you would have to sleep on the street and beg for food!”

Roxanne stopped cleaning the coffee cup. She looked at Orchid and nodded. “I'll always remember the kindness you've shown me. That's why I didn’t hesitate to give you the other research institute. And I don't think I’ll have to repeat the great profits that research institute brought to GK Group.”

Orchid was stunned. She couldn't find the words to retort. Just like Roxanne had stated, the research institute that she gave to Orchid previously had marketed much new medicine. These medicines contributed to nearly one-third of the profits earned by GK Group.

“So?” Orchid asked.

“Nothing. Since you mentioned the kindness you had shown me, I told you what I did to express my gratitude in return. Even if what I did wasn't much, at least I didn't wrong you!” Roxanne answered calmly.

The water reached boiling point, emitting a whistling sound. Roxanne used the water to make espresso. Soon, a delicious coffee scent filled the room.
