Chapter 839 Work Harder To Get Roxanne
Just when she was still reeling in from the shock, Roxanne accidentally clicked on the refresh button. She noticed that there were changes on the page, and she instinctively lowered her head to check it out.
Roxanne was even more surprised to see the time the news article had been published, and somehow the fleeting image of Lucian crossed her mind.
The news article was published right after Herbscape Group and Damaris Group collaborated. Herbscape Group has always maintained a good reputation before they agreed to collaborate with Damaris Group.
Cayden said Lucian was busy with something tonight when he came over to pick Estella up. I wonder what he’s working on. Oddly, and coincidentally enough, the news article was published tonight…
Roxanne could only surmise that Lucian was the mastermind plotting against Herbscape Group.
Herbscape Group was embroiled in the scandal right after they signed the agreement with Damaris Group.
And before that, they were supposed to collaborate with Farwell Group.
Farwell Group was infamous for never letting their business partners who walked out on them do well.
Right then, Roxanne recalled Lucian’s words when she had told him she was going to attend the contract signing ceremony that night.
He had said that he would not let the contract signing between Herbscape Group and Damaris Group go on that smoothly.
Judging by his attitude then, Roxanne could tell that he was aiming to gain control over Herbscape Group.
Then again, Lucian did not stop her from attending the contract signing ceremony between Herbscape Group and Damaris Group.
So, is this Farwell Group taking revenge against Herbscape Group? Or is the competition between Farwell Group and Damaris Group still going on?
Roxanne was truly stumped.
She even wondered if Lucian was doing this because of her.
After all, it was unlikely that Lucian did not care about what had happened that morning.
If Herbscape Group’s reputation was smeared because of her, and in turn, affecting Damaris Group as well, Roxanne wouldn’t know what she could do to make up for Jack’s losses.
Realizing what she was thinking, Roxanne let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Haven’t I already realized this would happen when I signed the contract with Herbscape Group? Lucian is acting as such because he detests me getting too close to Jack.
Roxanne pursed her lips. Well, I could also put the blame on Jack for dragging me into this in this case. Maybe I’ll feel better that way.
Meanwhile, in the Farwell residence, Estella still remembered the boys’ remarks after Cayden fetched her home.
She was tasked with finding out if Lucian was also mad at Roxanne.
Estella knew she was to be blamed in this case. If Lucian was truly mad, she felt the need to appease him and urge him to work harder to get Roxanne.
However, it was already ten o’clock at night, and yet Lucian was still nowhere to be seen.
As Estella was already feeling sleepy and had been waiting for a long time, she got a little upset and her eyes turned red.
“Ms. Estella, let’s go and get some sleep upstairs,” Catalina said when she saw that Estella had been waiting in the living room.
Estella pouted and shook her head aggrievedly. “Daddy…”
She wanted to wait for Lucian to come back.
Catalina was in a bind right then. “If Mr. Farwell is not back at this hour, I think he’ll only be back in the middle of the night. Let’s go to sleep first and wait for him to come back. He will surely visit you in your room. Besides, you can also talk to him in the morning.”
Estella shook her head stubbornly, her little hands clutching the couch.
Catalina let out a defeated sigh. Left with no other choice, she could only stand beside Estella and observe her closely.
