Mission To Remarry Chapter 648

Soon, Cayden sent Jessica away.

Only after getting out of the hotel did Jessica finally make sense of what was happening.She struggled
to break free, but it was all too late.

After Jessica left, Lucian scanned the crowd.

Everyone felt chills running down their backs as they met his gaze.

They dared not linger and hastily left afterward.

Instantly, only a few people were left at the entrance of the hotel.

"Thank you for helping me out of the situation, Mr.Farwell," Roxanne said.

She lowered her gaze and tried to calm herself as she muttered her thanks to Lucian, consciously
keeping her distance from the man.

Then she turned around to head back to Larry's side.

However, Lucian held her hand right after she turned around.

Roxanne paused in her tracks and instinctively wanted to shrug him off, yet she did not have the
courage to turn around and tell him off.She simply stood there stiffly.

"You've always been insincere with your thanks, Ms.Jarvis," Lucian said in an enigmatic tone.

Then, he lifted his head to regard Jack and Larry who were standing not far from them.

When he parted his lips, however, he did not sound as amiable as when he was defending Roxanne.



"Mr.Damaris, Mr.Morrison, the both of you couldn't even handle a drunken woman, and as a result,
your business partner here has suffered a scare.I'm afraid this is hardly ideal as far as business
collaborations go," Lucian said.

When Cayden reported the matter to him earlier, he had only mentioned that Roxanne was being put
on the spot, and Lucian had come to her aid without hesitation.He was upset to discover that Jack and
Larry were actually present as well.

Larry glanced at Roxanne's stiffened face.He approached her and said to Lucian, "It all happened too
fast.We had no time to respond.Thank goodness, Roxanne is not hurt."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм

A guilty look flitted across Larry's eyes.

Owing to his amicable personality, he had only thought about defending Roxanne when Jessica tried to
admonish her.It never occurred to him to come up with a more aggressive retaliation.

Larry knew he could have done better.

Lucian gave him a sardonic look and turned to look at Jack.He wanted to see what kind of explanation
the latter would come up with.

Jack's eyes darkened.He did not fumble for an explanation.

Instead, he said, "I am to be blamed for this.This happened because of me.I will take care of the
rest.Dr.Jarvis’ name will not be tarnished because of this misunderstanding."

Lucian pursed his lips into a thin, hard line.

Then he regarded Roxanne with a frown.

These two men were the ones whom he had witnessed to be quite close to Roxanne.



In fact, Lucian felt threatened by their presence.

However, seeing as these two men could not even protect Roxanne from being slandered, Lucian
vowed that he would never hand her over to any of them.

Roxanne was his and his only.

The tension among the four of them was palpable right then.

Of course, Roxanne felt the air going still as well.

She lifted her head to look at the three men.

She could not help but frown as she noticed the tense expression on their faces.

Hence, she took the initiative to break the silence.

"Please let go of me, Mr.Farwell.I'm not going to run away."

With that, Roxanne wriggled her wrist out of his grip.

Lucian cocked an eyebrow and let go of her.

He had only gripped her hand because he did not wish to see her standing beside another man.

Given the situation, it would not seem right, no matter where she stood.

Lucian reckoned that Roxanne must have realized the same as well.He was right.

Roxanne did notice that something was off.She hesitated for a moment and made no move.

Then she looked at Jack and asked, "Mr.Damaris, is the car not here yet?"



It was getting late.She should be heading home.
