The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 898

Chapter 898 Force Herself To Calm Down

“As long as I find a method effective, it isn’t considered despicable,” Lucian riposted coldly after a while, putting away the scrutiny in his eyes.

Her eyes flickering, Roxanne nodded self-deprecatingly. “Oh well, I’m not far-sighted enough.” Lucian stared at her thoughtfully.

Out of the blue, he offered in a much gentler tone than earlier, “If it’s to your liking, I can retain you as the technical advisor of Herbscape Group.”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne snapped her head around with a frown, meeting his gaze in puzzlement.

He was absolutely livid just now, but he’s now extending me an olive branch in the blink of an eye. Is this considered… a chance for me to salvage things?

At that thought, mirth bubbled within her.

Meanwhile, Lucian’s hand tightened around her wrist when he received no answer from her even after a long time had passed.

“Farwell Group can likewise give you the same resources as Damaris Group.”

Roxanne could sense that the surrounding temperature was gradually dropping. Her heart inexorably sank as well.

After calming herself for a few seconds, she declined in feigned calmness, “No, thank you. There are many doctors far more outstanding than me. Considering Farwell Group’s financial capabilities, you can unquestionably choose someone of greater repute to take this position.”

She only agreed to be Herbscape Group’s technical advisor back then because of their project.

But then, Herbscape Group wouldn’t have anything to do with Damaris Group’s project anymore if it ended up being acquired by Farwell Group.

In other words, there was no need for her to get involved further.

However, to Lucian, he felt that she chose Jack when given a choice between him and the latter.

Following that thought, a murderous rage enveloped him, and a storm brewed in his eyes. “What if I insist?”

At that, Roxanne’s brows furrowed. “There are some things Farwell Group can’t give me. Don’t coerce me.”

No sooner had her words fallen than the man suddenly drew closer to her.
