Of course, Roxanne had clearly heard Daniel’s question too, and she couldn’t help but freeze momentarily before glancing at the other doctors seated around her. As expected, everyone was staring at her in shock and bewilderment.The woman then turned back to Daniel and smiled modestly. “You’re being so courteous, Dr. Hopp. I just so happen to know some unorthodox treatment methods out of pure coincidence. It’s an absolute honor that you’re interested.”“I’ve seen what you’re capable of with my own eyes, Dr. Jarvis,” Daniel said. “It’s definitely got nothing to do with coincidences or luck. You don’t have to be so modest.”Roxanne wanted to respond politely, but Jack cut them off with a smile, “Let’s save that for after the banquet, shall we, Dr. Jarvis and Dr. Hopp? It’s time to get down to business.”Roxanne could only hold her tongue and nod at Daniel in appreciation.She and Daniel initially didn’t get along at the start of the last medical consultation, but the man eventually exh
The abandoned Wife Unspoken Rivalry
More people began to express their amity toward Roxanne and Larry. It wasn’t long before the ambiance of the room grew harmonious and relaxed.Jack waited a while longer, and after seeing Roxanne and Larry return to their seats, he began to introduce the other doctors.Every figure here had some achievements in the medical field, so a mere mention of his or her was more than sufficient.Soon, everyone felt nothing but respect for one another, not to mention the anticipation of their upcoming collaboration.Now that official talks were out of the way, the audience moved to light-hearted topics, striking up conversations with those they were well-acquainted with.Despite not being a fan of socializing, Jack took the lead and headed to the middle of the crowd with a wine gla*s in hand.Roxanne and Larry clinked gla*ses with all the elders there before returning to their seats.“It looks like the collaboration will go well,” Larry commented, grinning.Roxanne nodded in response and shot

“Mr. Damaris surely isn’t the only one who wanted her to join them. Roxanne had Old Mr. Damaris’ approval too,” uttered Larry, who had been paying attention to their interaction, when he saw that Roxanne was stumped. At that, Jessica knitted her brows and turned to the side to look at him.She had already noticed the young man a while ago. He was outstanding, but she was not interested in him.Yet, to her surprise, the man had actually forced himself into her line of sight and even defended Roxanne.“You’re…” Jessica started, frowning.Larry introduced himself politely, “I’m Larry Morrison. I’m just an ordinary doctor, so you don’t need to remember me.”Shock flitted past Jessica’s eyes.Larry was the son of the Morrison family, and everyone within the circle would have heard about him. They knew that he was uninterested in his family’s fortune and had established a place for himself in the medical world.It was rare to spot Larry in banquets in Horington over the years.Therefore, i
The abandoned Wife Confronting Misunderstandings
“Mr. Damaris, what do you want to say to me?” Roxanne asked after taking a seat beside him. She genuinely did not want to cause a scene, and Jessica, who was beside her, was staring at her. If Jack could not come out with any topic, Roxanne was certain that Jessica’s stare would burn a hole in her.Jack knew well what kind of situation she was in, so he said casually, “I’ll be relying on both you and Mr. Morrison for this collaboration, so let me express my thanks first.”With that, he raised his gla*s and downed it.Roxanne lifted her gla*s politely and took a few sips as well.“Jessica, where did that woman come from? Why does it seem that Mr. Damaris thinks of her as someone important?”“She’s not in some kind of relationship with Mr. Damaris, right? She looks like someone who knows how to seduce men!”The friends Jessica had brought along with her all grumbled about Roxanne and whispered their speculations to Jessica when they saw the way Jack treated Roxanne.Jessica already fel

“I’ll send Ms. Jarvis back,” came Jack’s voice from the side. Roxanne froze, and she quickly said, “It’s fine.”Even though they were close enough to be considered friends, Roxanne did not think that they were that close enough for Jack to send her home.She rejected Larry’s offer because she felt that it would be inconvenient to do so.However, she rejected Jack because she felt that they were not close enough for him to send her back.Naturally, Jack could see the difference between Larry and him. Still, despite knowing that, he was disappointed.“There’s no need for you to be this courteous with me, Ms. Jarvis. We’ll be working together in the near future. I just wish for us to get closer so that we can work better together.” Then he tamped down the rising strange feelings in him. “Also, I’m about to go back to my place, and your house is on my way. It won’t be troublesome at all.”A crease appeared between Roxanne’s brows.Every excuse she could think of to reject Jack had been d
The abandoned Wife Lucian's Arrival
As soon as she said that, and before the people could react, Jessica lunged toward Roxanne. Jack had pushed her closer to Roxanne just now, so there was no one between the two. By the time Larry turned around upon hearing the commotion, Jessica was already a hair’s breadth away from Roxanne. “Roxanne, watch out!” Larry cried out, barely managing to pull Roxanne behind him. At the same time, Jack walked over and gripped Jessica’s arm. “Are you done?” Jessica ended up lunging toward an empty spot and was even berated by Jack. Her anger reached its peak, and she burst into tears. As she bawled, she pointed at Roxanne and continued cursing. There were people walking out of the hotel, and when they noticed the commotion, they stopped in their tracks to watch the drama. Roxanne stood behind Larry, her heart still racing. She noticed that there were more and more people gathering around them, and she knew that she had to step forward and end the scene. If things were to continu
The abandoned Wife Entangled Perceptions
The man’s domineering presence silenced the crowd. Someone in the crowd finally came back to their senses when Lucian walked past them and whispered, “It’s Mr. Farwell!” Upon hearing those words, the crowd erupted into an uproar. They did not even care about their reputation anymore as they stared at Lucian’s back. Although they were all from prestigious families in Horington, they were ants in comparison to Lucian. Moreover, they could barely have the chance to see Lucian in person. Therefore, now that they had the chance to do that, they couldn’t help staring at him to their hearts’ content. Lucian’s face was an eye candy for all. Roxanne could only stay rooted to her spot in the middle of the crowd as she watched the man amble toward her. The look on her face had frozen, and she did not know what kind of reaction she should have at that moment. It seems that I have had ill luck recently. Not only is a drunkard seeking trouble with me at work, but Lucian’s here at such horrendo
The abandoned Wife Bound by Shadows
Everyone heard Jessica clearly. Of course, they did not know much about the medical field. Hence, they merely nodded at Jessica’s remarks.After all, they had the perception that accomplished doctors would typically be in their fifties. People would not normally a*sociate a young and beautiful woman like Roxanne with being an accomplished doctor in the medical field.Jessica’s hand edged closer and closer to Roxanne’s face. The latter’s face turned cold. She was ready to swat off Jessica’s hand at any moment right then.However, before Roxanne could do so, a large hand struck first and immobilized Jessica’s hand.The man clutching her hand had evidently exerted a considerable amount of force, so much so that Jessica lost her balance and staggered a few steps back and missed Roxanne’s face.“You could consult Dr. Lambert if you have any doubts about her medical skills, or you could also ask Old Mr. Queen. I believe he will have an answer for you.” Lucian threw a scornful look at the t
