Chapter 1353
Lucian narrowed his eyes dangerously as he scanned the inside of the restaurant.
When the others saw Lucian had gone looking for the man to settle the scores, they retracted their gazes guiltily.
Meanwhile, the man was so scared he did not dare breathe loudly in front of Lucian.
Truth was, the man had no ill intentions.
He had only read the discussion on the internet and gotten curious about their relationship.
In fact, when the man saw Roxanne bringing along two sons of unknown origins, he figured Lucian would have
some grudge against her.
To the man’s astonishment, Lucian seemed to be truly in love with Roxanne.
Moreover, Roxanne did not look like a crafty person as described in the rumors.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucian suddenly thought of something and warned the man, “I don’t care what you think, but you’d better keep
your eyes to yourself and not interrupt our meal.” After that, he instructed the waiter to move them to a different
private room.
“What happened?”
Uneasiness swirled within Roxanne’s heart.
Flashing an assuring smile, Lucian said, “Nothing. Carry on with your meal. I need to make a call.”
With that, he exited the private room and called Cayden.
The call was connected instantly. “Mr. Farwell.”
Lucian’s expression was stern, and he exuded a gloomy aura. “How’s the public opinion on the internet now?”
Cayden sounded rather guilty. “The public opinion is one-sided, and they’re not in Mrs. Farwell’s favor. I’ve already
assigned someone to handle it and trace the source.”
The situation had stabilized earlier, but for some unknown reason, negative comments began to appear.
Cayden had dealt with it in a panic. He did not dare to call Lucian, for he knew the latter was with Roxanne.
However, he never expected Lucian to make the call instead.
Lucian’s expression grew darker. “How long has it been? Why didn’t you tell me about it sooner?”
Cayden lowered his head, not daring to answer.
In the meantime, Roxanne, too, received a call from Linda in the private room.
Linda had originally been abroad, but ever since something happened to Colby, Roxanne had told her to return
because she feared she could not handle all the work on her own.
They had been keeping in touch recently because of the research institute.
Seeing Linda calling her out of the blue, Roxanne naturally thought it was related to the research institute, so she
answered it without hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Dr. Jarvis, have you offended anyone?”
Linda’s words puzzled Roxanne. “Did something happen?”
Linda briefly recounted the discussion on the internet and summarized by saying, “I think they’re targeting you on
purpose. Someone’s slandering you behind your back.”
Roxanne’s eyes dimmed when she learned about what the internet was saying about her.
She could roughly guess who the person behind all of it was.
Apart from Aubree, no one would call Roxanne a homewrecker.
Linda continued, “At first, I thought I shouldn’t get involved since this is your private matter, but this is affecting the
research institute’s reputation. We know it’s someone slandering you, but the others don’t. Many collaborators have
requested to cancel the contract because of this. They’re afraid your reputation might collapse and affect them.”
Roxanne felt her heart sink when she heard that. “I got it. Indeed, this one’s caused by my private matters.
Negotiate with them about the cancellation of the contract. I’ll do my best to deal with the matters on my end.”
Linda hummed in agreement.
