Chapter 916 Crisis

Jonathan cleared his throat at Lucian’s lack of response.

“I heard a fire broke out in Dr. Jarvis’ research institute two days ago.”

Hearing that, Lucian snapped his brows together.

Jonathan was satisfied to see his response. “What’s the matter? Did you not know about this?”

Lucian nodded, his expression somber.

He had not seen Roxanne since the kiss the other night.

Therefore, he knew nothing of what happened to her.

Although Estella would try to get news about Roxanne from Archie and Benny before telling her father what she learned, Lucian knew that Roxanne would not let the boys

know that she had been in danger.

Jonathan fell silent when he saw his friend’s grim expression, and he waited for Lucian to speak instead.

“Was the fire a bad one? Was she hurt?” Lucian could not help but ask.

Jonathan lifted a brow. “Won’t you know if you go and take a look at her?”

At that, Lucian’s expression turned dark again.

Jonathan was bewildered by that.

What does this mean? Did they have a fight again? If my memory serves me right, Lucian just asked me how he should create a romantic scene the other day. Moreover,

we’re doing this to Herbscape Group because of Roxanne. Why did his attitude toward her change again?

“Ahem.” Jonathan cleared his throat tentatively. “You and Dr. Jarvis…”

Before he was done with his sentence, the man beside him cut him off. “Nothing happened.”

Jonathan’s breath hitched, and he choked on his own saliva. Only after a long while of coughing did he finally recover enough to stare at Lucian with pursed lips.

I haven’t even said anything. Why is he in such a rush to explain to me? There’s no way nothing happened!

With that, Jonathan moved closer to Lucian and asked, “Be honest with me. Did you have a fight with Dr. Jarvis again?”

Lucian’s already dark expression turned even darker.

Rather than a fight, he was sure that Roxanne was trying to make him mad.

Knowing his friend’s character, Jonathan sighed in resignation. “I told you so many times that you have to give in to Dr. Jarvis once in a while. Moreover, you were in the

wrong.”

That made Lucian’s frown deepens, but the irritation in his eyes dissipated a little.

Jonathan continued, “If you really had a fight with her, this would be a good opportunity.”

Lucian lifted his brow. “What do you mean?”

“I don’t know whether or not Dr. Jarvis was hurt in the fire, but I know that the fire at the research institute burned the medicinal herbs they had gotten from Herbscape

Group,” Jonathan explained slowly. “This batch of medicinal herbs is hard to get, and reobtaining it would be a chore for Dr. Jarvis. That being said, we now have Herbscape

Group and their medicinal herbs.”

In other words, the resources they now had would be able to resolve Roxanne’s crisis.

Lucian lowered his gaze.

Unhappy to see that response, Jonathan patted Lucian’s shoulder and said, “Aren’t you courting Dr. Jarvis? This is a good chance.”

After all, no woman would be able to resist someone who lends her a helping hand when she was in trouble.

Furthermore, it was not as if Lucian had not done anything to court her previously.

At the very least, the herbs they had would be able to resolve the current conflict between Roxanne and Lucian.
