NovelEnglishChapter 160
Frieda glanced at the supposedly perfect couple before looking at Roxanne, who was sitting in a
corner. Satisfied, she found an excuse to get away from the other elders.
“Hey! Why are you sitting here all by yourself, Dr. Jarvis?”
Roxanne finally managed to find a quiet corner to regain her composure. However, just as her mind
was in a complete mess, she heard the sarcastic question.
When she raised her gaze, she saw Frieda standing in front of her haughtily.
Roxanne knitted her brows and got annoyed when she saw her. Frieda couldn’t stop talking about how
Lucian and Aubree were meant for each other in front of the elders just now. Obviously, she wanted me
to hear all about it.
Never had Roxanne thought that Frieda would look for her, even after she had left the crowd.
Frieda didn’t notice how annoyed she was. Instead, she stared at Roxanne mockingly and gestured for

meant to be together, and that’s what everyone thinks. Who do you think you are? Are you jealous
now? Know your place, okay? You’re not worthy of Lucian. Unlike you, Aubree is!”
Roxanne couldn’t help but chuckle coldly when she heard that.

Frieda frowned and asked, “What’s so funny?”
Roxanne shrugged nonchalantly in response. “It’s nothing. I just find it weird to see such a dedicated
minion!”
Minion? Frieda was stumped. When she came back to her senses, her expression grew vicious. While
pointing at Roxanne, she gritted her teeth and asked, “Who are you calling a minion?”
Roxanne stood up and answered calmly, “Who else was I talking to, if not you? Please stop bragging in
front of me, Ms. Queen. No matter who Lucian is with or meant to be with, it’s none of my business.
Besides, I don’t give a hoot about it. You’ve mentioned them to me so many times, but have you ever
seen me flinch once?’
Perhaps it was because Roxanne had stood up, but Frieda could sense that the person before her
eyes had become more domineering. Flustered, Frieda opened her mouth, but not a single word came
out.
Roxanne smirked and walked up to her. “Hence, stop appearing in front of me and talk about things
that don’t concern me. Do you have any idea how much of an annoyance you are?”
With that, Roxanne walked past her without sparing her another glance.
It took a long while for Frieda to regain her composure. When she did, she was so angry at what
Roxanne said to her. She wanted to throw a tantrum, but Roxanne was already out of her sight.
Roxanne fled pretty quickly because she didn’t want to hear any more of Frieda’s nonsense. In
fact, she didn’t even know how she would react if she were to hear them again.
Since Frieda found her at the spot furthest away from the crowd, Roxanne had no choice but to find a
new quiet spot to have a seat. This time around, she was a lot nearer to the crowd at the banquet
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCoincidentally, that spot was just opposite where Lucian was at.
Lucian noticed her presence the moment she appeared in his line of sight. After that, his attention was
on her again.
When Roxanne was just about to enjoy the silence, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Hi, there. Nice to meet you. May I know which prominent family you’re from?” A rich gentleman
approached her politely.
Roxanne froze momentarily before putting on a faint smile and answered, “I’m sorry, but I’m just a
doctor. I’m not from a prominent family.”
The rich gentleman also froze for a second after hearing that. After that, he quickly smiled and uttered,
“Judging from your demeanor, I thought you’re from a prominent family. Would I be lucky enough to be
your acquaintance? We could be friends.”
