The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 412

Chapter 412

Although Gerald focused on academics, the others in the room had business dealings in the medical industry. Many of them relied on Gerald’s skills for a living.

Gerald’s words might sound like he was merely apologizing to Roxanne, but he was actually pressuring the others.

Naturally, Roxanne understood the meaning Gerald was implying. She returned his gaze with a look of gratitude.

It did not take long for the rest to agree. Clearly, Gerald’s words worked.

“I’ve heard Mr. Queen talking about how impressive Dr. Jarvis’ skills are. And now, we’ve witnessed how Mr. Lynch admires Dr. Jarvis. I guess there’s no reason for us to hesitate anymore.”

“I never thought Dr. Jarvis would be so young and a woman too! Not only that, but she also even runs a research institute on her own. She’s such a strong woman!”

Words of praise kept traveling into her ears.

Of course, Roxanne knew they were only praising her for the sake of Jonathan and Gerald. Regardless, it meant that the collaboration was seliled.

At that thought, Roxanne patiently thanked them for their praises.

As the organizer of the banquet, Jasper could not keep staying in the room. Before leaving, he asked Roxanne, “Would you like to come with me, Dr. Jarvis? I can introduce you to the people involved in Summerbank’s medical industry.”

Roxanne accepted the offer, got up, and excused herself from Gerald’s presence before returning to the banquet hall with Jasper.

Larry, on the other hand, stayed back to keep Gerald company.

It was evident that Jasper was quite influential in the medical industry of Summerbank. As soon as he made an appearance, many people approached to greet him.

Jasper returned their greetings and introduced Roxanne to them.

Maybe Im just worried hell come looking for me again.
