Chapter 797 Awfully Intimate

“I believe the profits I have provided the Pearson family with over the years is enough to repay Old Mr. Pearson’s

kindness toward me. I’m also willing to help the Pearson family out if the need ever arises, so marrying Aubree is

completely unnecessary,” Lucian replied.

He then stared solemnly at Elias as he waited for his father to lecture him the way his mother did.

To his surprise, Elias simply nodded after a brief pause and said calmly, “Do what you believe is right. I can’t do

much about your mother, though. That’s something you’ll have to deal with on your own.”

Lucian was so surprised that he froze for a few seconds after hearing that. “Thanks, Dad.”

Elias nodded. “You said you still have some business to take care of, so I won’t keep you any longer. Go and do what

you have to do.”

The two of them were always quick and efficient in the way they handled things.

Lucian got up and left without saying another word.

After entering the elevator, he grabbed his phone and thought about giving Roxanne a call.

Our conversation earlier didn’t exactly end very well. I wonder if she’ll answer my call…

Meanwhile, on the third floor of the banquet hall, Roxanne was so intoxicated that she could barely stand on her

feet. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the splitting headache she had only made things worse.

“Dr. Jarvis?” Having noticed her discomfort, Jack quickly stopped the people from giving her any more toasts. He

then held her steady and brought her over to a corner in the banquet hall.

Roxanne glanced at him in confusion when she heard him calling out to her.

“You had one too many, didn’t you? I’ll send you home right away,” Jack said apologetically.

He had only intended to let her meet the people involved in the project. He knew there would be some drinking

involved, but he wasn’t expecting her to get this drunk.

Roxanne was so out of it that it took a few seconds for her to register what he said. “Yeah, I did. My head hurts,”

she mumbled while massaging her forehead.

Jack frowned worriedly. “Come on, I’ll send you home.”

He then informed the others that they were leaving and helped Roxanne out of the banquet hall.

Larry narrowed his eyes when he saw the two of them leave, but he kept his thoughts to himself.

Roxanne’s phone started ringing shortly after they left the banquet hall.

At that point, she was so hammered that she could barely even walk. Had Jack not been there to hold her steady,

she wouldn’t even be able to reach the elevator.

Roxanne rummaged through her handbag when she heard her phone ringing, but she couldn’t seem to find it.

The ringing stopped right as the elevator reached their floor.

There was only one guy standing inside the elevator at the time.

Jack then helped Roxanne into the elevator and pushed the button for the first floor.

It wasn’t until he looked up and met Lucian’s icy-cold gaze that he realized it was him in the elevator.

“Hello, Mr. Farwell.” Jack greeted him nonchalantly after the two locked eyes for a few seconds. He then shifted his

gaze toward Roxanne, who was still in his arms.

The look in Lucian’s eyes turned increasingly gloomy.

I thought Roxanne might’ve gone home, so I was going to call her landline. Next thing I know, I’m greeted with

this… Not only is Roxanne incredibly drunk while she’s with Jack, but they’re also in an awfully intimate position!

“Dr. Jarvis had a little too much to drink, so I’m sending her home,” Jack said in an attempt to add fuel to the fire.

Those words had barely left his mouth when Lucian made his way toward him.

Jack simply arched an eyebrow at him as he stood his ground.
