The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2039

Chapter 2039 Darling Got More Capable

Roxanne sneered when she heard the word “extort.”

The technical personnel and I spent countless days and nights, not eating or sleeping, to achieve those results. What does she mean that I'm trying to extort her?

Even though she was disappointed by Orchid's reaction, Roxanne knew how the latter reacted was only average and nothing to be surprised about.

“Orchid, please give it some consideration. That's the best option I can think of. I won't back down even if you ask Mr. Lambert to advise me.”

With that, Roxanne continued drinking her coffee in a relaxed manner.

“Listen here, Roxanne. I'll never agree with the suggestion you gave. Never! If you insist on being stubborn, then go on. After all, if we follow the procedure strictly, all of you will have to leave the research institute sooner or later!” Orchid's tone was vicious, hoping her remarks would change Roxanne's mind.

However, no matter what she said, Roxanne was calm and unbothered. Roxanne's reaction hurt Orchid's pride significantly, causing her to lose her rationality slowly.

Just then, Lucian called out from outside the door, “Darling, I'm back!”

Orchid seethed with rage, jealous of how a successful businessman like Lucian would treat Roxanne with so much tenderness.

Lucian walked in, his eyes shifting from the frustrated Orchid to the calm Roxanne, knowing that the negotiation might have fallen through. He smiled at Roxanne. “I've dealt with everything.”

Roxanne nodded, getting Lucian's hidden message.

Then, she said to Orchid faintly, “Orchid, you are right. If we follow the procedure, the research institute belongs to GK Group. Okay. I've thought it through. I'll hand the research institute to you after this.”

Orchid thought she was hallucinating. She stared at Roxanne warily, questioning, “What tricks do you have... up your sleeves?”
