Jonathan beamed in response. “She’s awake, and she even asked where you were.” Lucian furrowed his brows. “Did you tell her?”
Jonathan quickly shook his head. “No. I said that something came up and you had to leave for the office.” Lucian nodded in silence.
“Are you going to see Roxanne now?” Jonathan asked. Lucian pondered a moment and said, “Maybe later. All that matters is that she’s safe now.” He narrowed his eyes. “I want Jack to suffer the consequences of harming her first!”
Jonathan, who had grown up with Lucian, couldn’t help but be shocked. He was relieved that he never had to go against Lucian.
Otherwise, a miserable death would be the only fate awaiting him. Meanwhile, Jack was sent to the hospital by Kevin. After a calm journey, Jack finally regained his senses. “What is this place?”
Jack’s expression turned grim when he saw the name of the hospital. Kevin replied in a quivering tone, “It’s a hospital owned by Damaris Group. I figured it would be more convenient-”
Before he could finish, Jack chided, “You fool! Are you trying to tell the whole world that I got beaten up? Take me to a different hospital right away!”
Kevin had no choice but to do as he was told. Upon arriving at the hospital, he hurriedly helped Jack to get treated.
The sting of alcohol on his wound brought Jack’s mind to full attention. “Find out what Roxanne’s current condition is right now! Has she really woken up?”
Jack wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, for he refused to believe that someone could neutralize his poison in such a short time.
What frightened him even more was Lucian’s attitude when he left. Prior to this, he didn’t fear Lucian, as Roxanne’s fate lay in his hands. However, now that she had produced the antidote, Lucian would stop at nothing to make.
him and Damaris Group pay. Jack couldn’t help but shudder in fear. All my efforts were meant to expand Damaris Group, not shove it into an abyss!
Kevin acknowledged the order and left quickly. Fifteen minutes later, he returned with a grim look on his face. “What’s the situation?” Jack asked impatiently. Kevin hesitated, looking flustered. “Mr. Damaris, now isn’t the time to be concerned about Ms. Jarvis.”
The look on Kevin’s face caused Jack’s heart to sink. “What in the world happened?” Hanging his head, Kevin steeled himself and replied, “Just a moment ago, thirteen of Damaris Group’s warehouses have been seized by the police!”
He had not gone far from the hospital when the person in charge of the warehouses called him. Upon ending the call, he turned his car around immediately. “What?” Jack looked at him in disbelief. “Why have the police seized the warehouses? What’s the reason?”
For so many years, Damaris Group had been building a positive reputation for itself and had a good working relationship with both the government and police. Why are the police targeting us?
Kevin replied warily, “I was told that the police suspected that contraband is stored in our warehouses.” As despair set into him, Jack finally understood what was going on.
He was now paying the price which Lucian had spoken off. Roxanne has really produced the antidote!
