The abandoned Wife Veiled Shadows
After confirming that the fire was put out and getting the green light from the firemen, Roxanne was finally able to get near the research institute that was engulfed in an inferno. Her heart sank the moment she managed to get a closer look.She had been worried sick all morning, overcome by the apprehension that the medicinal herbs that she had just retrieved the day before were all gone.Alas, her worst nightmare came true. The very store that caught on fire was the one where the medicinal herbs were stored.Not only were the medicinal herbs the batch that they had just retrieved the day before destroyed, but the other medicinal herbs they previously stocked up were also burned to ashes.Fortunately, Colby had managed to call for help in time and managed to stop the fire from spreading to other areas.“This…” Standing beside Roxanne, Colby found himself to be at a loss for words as he stared at the shambles before them.Roxanne let out a soft sigh. “Well, luckily no one was hurt, a

In the research area, the researchers had just regained their composure from the fire incident earlier and got back to work. When they saw two people walking in, they stopped what they were doing in unison.With a grim expression, Roxanne swept a glance at everyone and asked, “Did anyone come to the research institute yesterday afternoon?”Coincidentally, the surveillance cameras were down, so Roxanne could only a*sume that someone had gone over at that time.As soon as those words fell, everyone exchanged glances with each other silently. Yesterday was a Sunday. It was such a good opportunity to rest at home. So why would anyone come to the research institute without a reason? Besides, she’s asking questions that has something to do with the fire. Even if someone was here, why would they admit it?Suddenly, Roxanne was exuding a fearsome aura as she threw a cold glance at everyone. “I have no desire to suspect anyone here, nor can I think of a reason why an employee at the research

Jason was regretting what he did dearly. In fact, he regretted it the moment he did it the day before. However, Colby had already locked the research institute up, so he couldn’t salvage the situation, even if he wanted to.That morning, he made the effort to arrive at the research institute to see if there was anything he could do to fix it.However, he was wrong when he thought he had arrived early enough. By the time he arrived at the entrance, the firefighters were already at the scene.Jason couldn’t help but slap himself twice across the face when he recalled the burnt storage and what Roxanne had said.“This is my fault, Dr. Jarvis. I’m so stupid!” Utterly embarra*sed, he asked, “Since I’ve come forward on my own, c-could you please let the matter slide? My son is still in the hospital…”Roxanne dug her fingers into her palms to force herself to stay calm. “That’s not up to me, Dr. Coleman.”“This matter is being investigated by the police. Jason, how could you be so foolish?”

Only after hearing Colby’s response did Roxanne relax slightly. “I see. I’ll leave it to you, then. Feel free to come to me if you need anything,” she said.Colby agreed.Roxanne couldn’t help adding emotionally, “If you can find those medicinal herbs again, you’ll solve a huge problem for me.”Finally, Colby felt chirpy upon hearing Roxanne’s tone.Ever since Roxanne went to the research institute, she had been solving all kinds of problems on her own.She would only let him, the person in charge of the research institute, help her with trivial matters.Therefore, Colby knew that despite her praises, she had always only regarded him as an ordinary researcher at the research institute.After all, he was nothing compared to the men she had by her side.This time around, he was rather surprised at the fact that it didn’t take much to trick Roxanne into holding him in high regard.No one would’ve expected him to do so much just to create a distance between Roxanne and other men. It’ll b

When the a*sistant thought about how Jack had invested twelve billion in Herbscape Group, he found himself unable to continue speaking. Despite everything, twelve billion was a hefty sum.Even if Herbscape Group was a hot potato, keeping it around meant that they would be able to see where the twelve billion was going.If they threw the hot potato away, it would mean throwing the twelve billion into the gutters.“Do tell me how you’re planning to deal with this,” Jack urged with a frown.Jack’s voice snapped the a*sistant back to his senses, and he had no choice but to steel himself and continue.“If we keep Herbscape Group around, I’m afraid it’ll affect Damaris Group’s reputation, so…”Jack arched a brow.The a*sistant squeezed out, “So, the best way to deal with this is to cut ties with Herbscape Group as quickly as we can.”It’s even better if we do it before the news of Herbscape Group’s executives landing in jail spreads.That was what Jack thought as well, though his heart ach

Jonathan cleared his throat at Lucian’s lack of response.“I heard a fire broke out in Dr. Jarvis’ research institute two days ago.”Hearing that, Lucian snapped his brows together.Jonathan was satisfied to see his response. “What’s the matter? Did you not know about this?”Lucian nodded, his expression somber.He had not seen Roxanne since the kiss the other night.Therefore, he knew nothing of what happened to her.Although Estella would try to get news about Roxanne from Archie and Benny before telling her father what she learned, Lucian knew that Roxanne would not let the boys know that she had been in danger.Jonathan fell silent when he saw his friend’s grim expression, and he waited for Lucian to speak instead.“Was the fire a bad one? Was she hurt?” Lucian could not help but ask.Jonathan lifted a brow. “Won’t you know if you go and take a look at her?”At that, Lucian’s expression turned dark again.Jonathan was bewildered by that.What does this mean? Did they have a fight

That night, Lucian went to the kindergarten to pick Estella up. It was already late by the time he arrived, so Estella was the only kid left at the kindergarten.“Daddy,” Estella greeted him aggrievedly after noticing his arrival.He patted her head apologetically. “I’m sorry that I’m late.”Then, he looked up and nodded at Pippa.Pippa had waited with Estella the whole night. Now that Lucian had finally shown up, she could rest a*sured and let him take the little girl home.After bringing Estella into the car, Lucian sat idly for some time instead of starting the vehicle.Estella urged him in puzzlement, “Daddy?” Her voice pulled him back to reality.He glanced at the little girl through the rearview mirror and saw a bewildered expression spread across her face.“Have you seen Ms. Jarvis in the past few days?” he asked.Estella became crestfallen upon listening to his question and shook her head dejectedly.However, she quickly turned delighted. “Archie and Benny said I’ll be able t

Roxanne could feel Lucian’s heavy gaze on her back. Although her back was facing him, she still could not ignore the fact he was staring at her.Due to Lucian’s presence, she was no longer in the mood to eat anything.“You kids go ahead. I have something to discuss with Mr. Farwell,” said Roxanne softly after taking several quick bites and placing away her cutleries.She could not stand having Lucian staring at her all the time, and she wanted to know why he came to her place.The kids did not think too much about that and nodded obediently in response.Seeing that the kids had agreed to let her go, Roxanne stood up and walked over to Lucian. “Let’s talk in the study.”Lucian nodded casually and stood up, following her to the study.“Mr. Farwell, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you over at my place? Do you have something important to tell me?” Roxanne stood in the center of the study, looking at him warily. “If you’re here to offer me the technical advisor’s position for Her

However, Roxanne had no idea that Jack had found out about her past. That was why Jack raised his brows and looked at Cayden when he heard her denial.Once again, Cayden felt unjust on Lucian’s behalf.Despite Lucian being ill, he still insisted on helping Roxanne. Cayden could not understand why she was so ungrateful.Furthermore, she seemed so secretive about her relationship with Lucian. It was as though Lucian was an embarra*sment!In spite of his thoughts, there was no way Cayden could express them outright in front of Jack.“These medicinal herbs are difficult to find. Mr. Farwell has transferred nearly all of the remaining medicinal herbs from Herbscape Group.”Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to calm down quickly.“Please convey my thanks to Mr. Farwell. However—”As far as Roxanne was concerned, Lucian did that in order to compensate for making use of her in the past.Therefore, she had no intention to accept his gift.Moreover, Jack had already provide

Jack had been staring at her ever since she returned. Naturally, he did not miss the look of anxiousness on her face earlier. “I believe it was rather rude of me to answer the call for you. I hope you don’t mind.”Hearing that, Roxanne grinned as if everything was fine. “It’s okay.”Still, Jack probed, “I wonder why he called you. I tried asking him, but he refused to tell me.”In response, Roxanne shook her head. “I don’t know either.”Intrigued, Jack raised his brow.Though Roxanne thought she had done a good job at concealing her emotions, he still saw through her.After all, the change in her expression was too obvious from the moment she stepped into the tent.Indeed, the phone call stirred up some emotions in her heart.Looks like Lucian has a special spot in her heart. This is interesting.Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Farwell Group, Cayden peered at Lucian fearfully.Lucian had been looking unhappy ever since he hung up. To be more specific, he had been like that ever sin
The abandoned Wife Echoes of Uncertainty
After some time, Roxanne asked concernedly, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?” The boy shook his head. He felt nothing apart from the moments the needles were inserted.Only then did Roxanne feel relieved.She waited for a little while longer before retrieving all the needles when the time was up.Seeing that, the boy sat up on the bed and asked naively, “Ms. Jarvis, am I healed?”A sharp pang hit Roxanne’s heart. “No. We’ll need to continue observing you in the future. Remember to pay more attention to your health and don’t take part in vigorous exercises, okay?”The boy nodded.Then, Roxanne prescribed him some traditional medicine, to which Jack gave many suggestions.After a thorough contemplation, she still accepted his suggestions and made changes to the prescription.When that was completed, the boy took the paper and went looking for the staff responsible for packing the medicines.Sadness was written all over Roxanne’s face as she watched him leave.Perhaps it was because

That night, Roxanne received a text from Jack before she went to bed. It contained the details to the medical consultation.It was in two days, and the location was an orphanage in the city.After making a mental note of the information, Roxanne typed a simple answer and went to bed early.However, her mind was so occupied with Colby’s words that she could not fall asleep.It was only after an indeterminate time that she finally drifted off to sleep.In the next two days, the boys kept trying to get Roxanne’s attention.To be more specific, they were doing it on Lucian’s behalf.Meanwhile, Roxanne was clueless as to why Archie and Benny were so persistent in mentioning Lucian to her, nor did she know how to deal with them.After pondering about it for some time, she decided to pour all her attention into preparing the medical consultation.When the boys saw she was at work, they finally gave up.Two days later, Jack’s car appeared in front of Roxanne’s house early in the morning.Rox
The abandoned Wife A Mother's Concern
“What’s wrong?” Jack and Colby were both gentlemen. They wanted to wait for Roxanne to leave before leaving.However, Roxanne’s car was still parked at the same spot even after they had waited for some time. Thus, they went up to check on her.Roxanne felt a little helpless. “The car’s broken.”Maybe some parts weren’t fully repaired from the accident last time.Hearing that, Jack and Colby exchanged glances, and Jack offered, “Let me help you to check.”With that, he got into the vehicle to check on it.He had always been interested in cars, so he thought something like that was happening because Roxanne did not understand them enough.Just as he was about to get to work, he heard Roxanne say, “This car was knocked by another car some time ago. Maybe the mechanics missed a few parts. I’ll get it repaired another day.”At that, Jack stopped whatever he was about to do.Since she already knows what the problem is, then it’s definitely not a man-made problem.“Then… Let me send you hom
The abandoned Wife Shadows of Doubt
There was a slight change of expression on Colby’s face when he heard that. Instantly, his eyes were fixated on Roxanne. She wants to treat Jack to a meal? Since when? How come I know nothing about it? Did they contact each other privately?Intrigued, he blurted, “Really? When was that?”Roxanne replied, “I made that suggestion when Mr. Damaris and I were talking about the medicinal herbs last night.”Turning to Jack, she added, “Mr. Damaris has helped our institute fix a huge mess. This meal is nothing significant compared to the favor received.”In other words, she made it clear that the meal was not meant to pay Jack back for his generosity.Jack did not seem bothered by her words.He glanced at Colby and teased Roxanne, “How then does Ms. Jarvis plan to return me the favor?”Jack’s gaze, coupled with his question, made Colby’s heart sink.He quickly turned to Roxanne, impatiently waiting for her response.Putting on a serious expression, she stated, “I’ll definitely make your sac
The abandoned Wife Harmonious Intentions
After staying up the entire night, Roxanne got up super early the next morning. She wanted to leave as soon as possible for the research institute because Jack was scheduled to deliver the medicinal herbs on time.Hence, she did not want to keep him waiting.With that thought in mind, Roxanne tried to stay awake.Upon getting dressed, she went downstairs, only to be greeted by two concerned children at the dining table.Roxanne sat down next to Archie and Benny. Then, she gave them both a peck on the cheek like she always did.When she lifted her head, she noticed faint dark circles under the kids’ eyes.She frowned immediately and asked, “You two didn’t have a good night’s sleep?”The boys shook their heads, feeling guilty.Benny answered in a piping voice, “I had a nightmare and caused Archie to sleep poorly.”Though feeling groggy, Roxanne could tell that it was just an excuse. She snapped her brows together and said, “You can come over and look for me the next time you have a bad
The abandoned Wife Shadows of Doubt: Roxanne's Turmoil
When they arrived back home, Archie and Benny wanted to cheer Roxanne up, but she did not give them a chance to do so as she headed straight for the study.When they saw Roxanne’s retreating figure, they felt disappointed and worried.They kept thinking that something must have happened at Lucian’s house that they did not know about.Roxanne closed the door to the study. She had a conflicted look as she sat at the desk.The truth was, she did not have any work. That was just an excuse she came up with at the very last minute.She thought of how she felt when she saw Lucian and Aubree together and felt a strange feeling tug at her heart.What’s wrong with me? I knew that Lucian was using me as his tool to compete in business. His previous pursuit was all talk. But why does my heart feel heavy when I see him with another woman…Roxanne had no idea how to face this version of herself.Suddenly, the ringing of a phone tore her away from her thoughts.She snapped back to her senses and loo
The abandoned Wife Unseen Divide: Roxanne's Dilemma
At the Farwell residence, Aubree was having dinner with Lucian and Estella.While they were eating, Aubree tried her best to engage in a conversation with the two, but she received no response.This angered her.Indeed, Lucian did not kick her out this time. However, he was acting as though she did not exist, as he had never looked at her once.They finally finished dinner. Aubree stood up first and turned to Catalina. She kindly said, “Catalina, let me help you clean up.”Catalina was surprised and wondered why Aubree had a sudden change in attitude.Before she could say anything, Aubree had started cleaning the table.Since Lucian would not accept her affection, she could only swallow her pride and try to impress him by doing little things.“Daddy…”Estella carefully tugged on her father’s sleeve.Lucian looked down at her.“I want to see the flowers.” She glanced at Aubree as she spoke.She did not want to stay with Aubree.If Aubree were to stay at their place, then Estella would
