Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 921

Chapter 921 An Apology

Upon sensing Lucian’s anger, Roxanne blinked and avoided his gaze guiltily. “If it isn’t because of this matter, then what else are you here for, Mr. Farwell?” she asked.

Lucian glanced at her gloomily. He only visited her as per Jonathan’s suggestion—to provide help during a crisis.

However, her icy attitude toward him made him unwilling to tell her the truth. The study was filled with dreadful silence immediately. Roxanne’s heart became heavier.

After a while, she could no longer bear the deafening silence. She lowered her gaze and said, “If there’s nothing else, let’s head out. The kids have been waiting for a long

while.”

Having said that, Roxanne walked around Lucian to leave. Shortly after taking a step, however, her wrist was grabbed by the man’s large hand.

Roxanne had no choice but to stop and frown at Lucian. What is wrong with him? He won’t tell me what’s the matter, and he won’t let me leave as well. What does he want?

Roxanne really didn’t know what he was thinking about, so she swung her arm impatiently in an attempt to free herself from his grip.

“According to my intel, the fire that happened at the research institute destroyed the medicinal herbs you took from Herbscape Group,” Lucian said in a deep voice after

spending a long while regulating his fury.

Hearing that, Roxanne stopped struggling as the suspicion in her heart rose again.

How can he be so clear about what had happened if it wasn’t his doing? However, since he has explained his side of the story, I can’t openly express my doubts.

Roxanne lowered her gaze to hide her thoughts and asked faintly, “So what if that’s true? What does it have to do with you, Mr. Farwell?”

A thought occurred to her as she spoke, and she raised her head to glance at the man. “Are you trying to help Herbscape Group get the batch of medicinal herbs back?”



Although she wasn’t sure why he would do that, it seemed like something he would do.

As soon as she was done speaking, she felt the temperature in the study drop instantly.

Roxanne’s heart sank to rock bottom as she thought she had guessed Lucian’s intention.

Yet, Lucian merely stared at her expressionlessly while various complex emotions filled his eyes. His grip on her wrist tightened and loosened occasionally.

He didn’t know what he did to make the woman feel so paranoid when dealing with him.

Within their few minutes of interaction, she had already expressed her suspicions toward him many times.

It took Lucian all his willpower to control his strength and stop himself from breaking her wrist out of anger.

Feeling the increased pressure on her wrist, Roxanne lowered her head and looked at it.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt like he was going to break her wrist in the next second.

This further affirmed her suspicion of Lucian’s intention.

“Mr. Farwell, if you’re just here to talk about this matter, then all I can do is apologize.” Although Roxanne apologized to Lucian, she didn’t express any fear. “Those medicinal

herbs were already burned to ashes. There’s nothing I can do about it even if you want them back. If you really want them back, I can ask someone to gather those ashes

from the storage room. That way, you might still be able to extract some medicinal herbs from those ashes.”

Her sarcastic remarks had Lucian furrowing his brows and tightening his grip uncontrollably.
