NovelEnglishChapter 387 “Still, what are you going to do now that you've learned about this?” Jonathan hesitantly asked as he curiously stared at Lucian.
Jonathan was certain that his friend was interested in Roxanne.
However, whether or not Lucian was going to stand up against Sonya for Roxanne was something Jonathan was unsure about.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucian frowned as frustration washed over him. A beat later, he finally uttered, “I'll think of a way to deal with Farwell Group. Will you be able to assist with Roxanne's side?” Jonathan was baffled to hear that.
Think of a way? What does that even mean? Is he going to go up against Mrs. Farwell or not? h When Lucian heard no response from Jonathan, he added, “It's fine if it's inconvenient for you. I'll think of a way myself. For now, | can't go up against my mother in public.” With the kind of person his mother was, the more he went up against her for Roxanne, the more irked his mother would be with Roxanne, and the more she would target Roxanne.
Furthermore, regardless of everything, she was his mother.
Lucian had to be more or less considerate of her status.
MOI Jonathan belatedly came back to his senses at that. After a moment of rumination, he voiced, “I'll definitely help out. Currently, only Queen Group is working with Dr. Jarvis* research institute. Although | can make sure that they get the herbs they need for now, | won't be able to do this long-term. Dr. Jarvis will need to work with more herb suppliers, and with Queen Group's influence in Horington, it won't be too difficult for me to convince several herb suppliers to do so. However..” He trailed off, giving Lucian a long lolok.
Seeing that, Lucian knitted his brows even more. “What's the matter?” “Things will go far smoother if you back me up,“Jonathan responded as he arched a brow. “T’ll just be looking for a few better herb suppliers. No one will say a word to Mrs. Farwell.” Lucian inclined his head. “Thank you, then. Also if it's possible, try to keep her in the country.” Lucian knew Roxanne well-he knew she would not just leave the research institute to rot and head overseas.
If Jonathan was going to help out, Roxanne would certainly do her best to work with him.
“No problem!” Only after agreeing to it did Jonathan realize what Lucian had just said, and he knitted his brows in shock. “Wait. What do you mean? Dr. Jarvis is going overseas? She isn't planning to stay in the country?” Lucian nodded.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJonathan was still in disbelief. “How did you know about that? | thought you haven't contacted her for a while. You don't even know something has happened to her research institute! What if it's just a misunderstanding on your part? It hasn't been long since Dr. Jarvis came back to the country.” As far as Jonathan knew, Roxanne had stayed abroad for six years, and she was back in the country to lead a research institute.
She had put so much effort into the research institute, so Jonathan could not believe that she would leave so easily.
Lucian’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “It's the truth. Not a misunderstanding. She told Essie about it.” He, too, had been stupefied upon learning about it, but that was the reality he had to accept.
“Then you...” Jonathan cast Lucian a hesitant look.
What is Lucian going to do if Dr. Jarvis leaves the country? Lucian gave him a dark look. “That's why I'm asking you to try to keep her in the country.” At that, Jonathan snapped back to his senses and let out a sigh inwardly. He then chuckled and teased, “I knew you won't let her go so easily.”
