The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 489

Chapter 489

After having some small talk, Hector cut to the chase and said, “I heard from Alfred that you’re interested in the Damaris family’s plan to set up the research institute and thinking of collaborating with us, aren’t you?”

Hearing that, Roxanne perked up in an instant. Wearing a look of solemnity, she stated earnestly, “I’ve always been interested in traditional medicine. I’m more than happy to know that the Damaris family will set up a research institute specializing in this field. Not to mention, your family has been leading in the field all this while. Thus, I wish to grab this opportunity to collaborate with your family as I believe it’ll boost my advancement in traditional medicine too.”

Hector scrutinized Roxanne for quite a while with a smile. Apparently, he was utterly pleased with her explanation.

Roxanne put up a good front, but she could not help having her heart in her mouth.

She knew that she should not let the chance slip away that round. Even though Hector was undoubtedly satisfied with her, she was still worried that things might go south.

However, there was still no response from Hector after a while. Clenching her fists, Roxanne looked into his eyes with determination. “Old Mr. Damaris, I hope you can give me a chance. I’ll put in the effort and won’t let you down!”

Only then did Hector nod gradually. “Of course, I’ll give you a chance.”

Buoyed up by his words, Roxanne was flushed with joyand at a loss as to what to do. She had to tighten the clench of her fists to get a grip on herself.

“You did well during the medical consultation, but I can’t help feeling regretful.” Hector switched the topic abruptly.
