The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646

“Roxanne told me that she’d be discussing with Mr. Morrison and Mr. Damaris about their collaboration, but I never thought that the discussion would take so long.”

Lucian sounded casual as he spoke to Jack and Larry, and even the way he called Roxanne’s name was intimate.

It truly sounded as if Roxanne was his woman and that she had only gone out for a business talk with them after gaining Lucian’s approval.

The moment Lucian said that, the people’s eyes widened.

Many knew that Lucian was engaged to a woman, and they knew that his fiancee was the daughter of the Pearson family.

However, Lucian’s attitude made them begin to wonder about his relationship with Roxanne.

When they thought about Lucian’s status and the woman’s divine looks, it did not seem all too surprising that they were in a relationship.

The people inhaled sharply, thinking that they had learned something shocking; they were ready. to seal their lips and say nothing about that to anyone.

Roxanne was anxious when she saw the changes in their expressions. She wanted to part her lips. to say something to refute Lucian’s words, but there was nothing she could say.

After all, Lucian did not actually utter anything concrete.

It was just misleading.

If she were to speak without thinking, the man might twist her words.

When she thought about what might happen, Roxanne bit her lower lip in defeat.

Like the others, Larry’s and Jack’s expressions also changed when they heard Lucian’s words.

However, they had to admit that Lucian’s appearance and the words he said were the best way to get Roxanne out of the mess.

However, it would not be appropriate for him to be the one to make the move now.

Hence, he had no choice but to remain still in his position as he watched Jessica ram herself onto

a wall.

Larry had even less right to do anything.

Jessica’s friends, on the other hand, were panicking, but Lucian’s dominating presence stopped them from mustering the courage to pull Jessica back. So, they, too, could only watch as the scene. unfold.

“You…” Jessica staggered toward Roxanne until the latter was only a few steps away. “You minx! What kind of medical skills can you possibly have with that look of yours? Y-Your looks are everything!”

Roxanne had faced many similar questions like that before, but their questions had been looks in their eyes; none had ever voiced them out loud like that, let alone in a situation like this.

Even if she wanted to defend herself, she could not prove that her medical skills were not as lousy as Jessica said they were with just words.
