Chapter 1009 Who Else Can It Be
Meanwhile, Cayden took some men with him and brought the herbs to Roxanne’s research institute. Around the same time, Jack sent Roxanne back in his car.
The three of them came face to face the moment they got out of their respective cars. Cayden was stunned to see Roxanne and Jack coming out of the same car.
Jack was the first to break the silence. “We have just finished our medical consultations. Ms. Jarvis’ car broke down, so I sent her back.” To Cayden, his explanation was meant to hide the truth.
He then turned to look at Roxanne. “Mr. Lawson, what are you doing here?” Roxanne felt a little guilty when she met Cayden’s gaze, but she managed to calm herself down.
Cayden glanced at the man standing next to her and replied loudly, “Mr. Farwell has asked me to deliver these medicinal herbs to you. Now that you are back, please do an inventory check.”
With that, he turned around and signaled to his staff. Very soon, the staff unloaded all the boxes of herbs. Lucian asks him to send these medicinal herbs?
Roxanne was puzzled. She knew she had never mentioned such a request to Lucian. Is Lucian trying to make it up to me by sending these medicinal herbs?
Roxanne could not help but find it ironic. Jack, on the other hand, raised his brows in surprise when he saw the medicinal herbs. Inadvertently, he said, “I suppose this is why Mr. Farwell called you earlier on.”
Only then did Roxanne return to her senses and nod hesitantly. She could not think of other reasons as well.
It was annoying for Cayden to see Roxanne standing next to Jack. He felt it was unfair to Lucian.
“Ms. Jarvis, everything is here. Please inspect them. If you need more, do let me know,” Cayden added.
Roxanne was not sure if she should accept Lucian’s gift.
“Mr. Farwell found out that your research institute has caught on fire. These herbs are difficult to acquire, and he asked me to transfer some from abroad two days ago. They would have arrived earlier if it wasn’t because of the transportation.”
Cayden was trying to make Lucian’s presence known.
A peculiar feeling arose with Roxanne.
So, these are the herbs.
Shortly after the research institute caught fire, Lucian asked her if she needed any help.
However, Colby claimed he would find a solution back then. That was why Roxanne turned Lucian down.
In the end, Lucian still ended up procuring those herbs for her.
In that instant, Roxanne could not think straight.
Before that, it had always been her suspicion that Lucian was the mastermind of that fire.
But, if it was really him, why does he bother to do this?
Then again, if it isn’t him, who can it be…
“Well, I didn’t expect to receive Mr. Farwell’s support.”
Jack’s voice rang out.
Roxanne composed herself, but she did not know how to respond to Jack’s comment.
Instead, Cayden remarked, “Mr. Farwell’s support is only meant for Ms. Jarvis. Mr. Damaris, I hope you don’t get the wrong idea.”
Afraid that he might have offended Jack, Cayden added nonchalantly, “After all, Mr. Farwell and Ms. Jarvis are well acquainted.”
When Jack heard that, he looked at Roxanne with raised eyebrows. “Are Ms. Jarvis and Mr. Farwell related in any other ways? Is there something I should know?”
Roxanne was taken aback by his questions, and she tensed up ever so slightly. “We do know one another. Our children are classmates.”
Roxanne had no wish to reminiscence her relationship with Lucian.
