Chapter 1732 No Reason To Refuse At ten-thirty that night, Jack still hadn't heard anything from Lucian, and he was starting to feel frustrated. Did they really develop the antidote? At that moment, Jack's mind was filled with doubts.

While he was starting to feel upset, his phone that was on the table rang.

Jack froze momentarily and turned to see the caller ID on his phone.

When he saw that it was Lucian calling him, his expression softened, and he sneered, “Well, sthings are inevitable.” He ignored his ringing phone and walked around the office with his hands behind his back. In the end, he stopped and stood still in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jack was on cloud nine as he overlooked the view of Horington and listened to the phone ring.

“Mr. Damaris, are you not answering Mr. Farwell's call?” Kevin asked puzzledly. Mr. Damaris has been waiting for that phone call the entire night. Why is he not answering the phone at once now that Mr. Farwell is calling him? Jack turned around unhappily and glared at Kevin. “Are you stupid? He's only calling now because he's at his wits' end. So what if | want him to feel desperate for a while longer?” Jack wanted Lucian to feel hopeless and miserable because Lucian had tricked him.

When the phone stopped ringing, Kevin looked at Jack's expression cautiously.

There, he saw Jack looking slightly tense.

Evidently, Jack wasn't sure if Lucian would call him again.

Once again, tension built up in the office.

Right when Kevin was figuring out ways to get out of there, his phone suddenly rang.

He whipped it out and saw that Lucian was calling him on his phone.

“Mr. Damaris!” Kevin immediately walked up to Jack.

Jack swept a glance at the phone and answered it.

“Hello, Mr. Farwell! It seems that you're a forgetful person! Didn't | say the poison is going to act up tonight? Why are you only callingnow?” he teased the moment he answered the call.

On the other end of the phone call, Lucian ignored Jack's sarcastic remarks and asked, “Where are you?” Jack let out a cold snort. “I told you, didn't I? I'm the only person in the world who can develop the antidote.

Since you don't believe me, why are you looking fornow? Besides, we're both businessmen. Don't you think you're untrustworthy, Mr. Farwell?” A dark glint flashed across Lucian's eyes when he heard that. While looking at Roxanne, who was suffering in the ward, he gritted his teeth and asked, “What do you want? | can double whatever you asked for the last taround!” “Have you only realized how dire the situation is? It's too late now.” With an insidious look in his eyes, Jack added, “I'm sure you know I'm a fastidious person, Mr. Farwell. Since you've tricked me, | think you should pay the price!” In a deep voice, Lucian replied, “As long as you givethe antidote, I'm willing to do whatever you want. | swear on Roxanne's life!” Jack was convinced because he knew how much Roxanne meant to Lucian.

He raised his brows smugly and said, “Well, since you've said so, | have no reason to refuse your request.” After a brief pause, Jack continued in a meaningful tone, “After all, I've been looking forward to working together with Ms. Jarvis.” Lucian didn't want to waste ttalking nonsense, so he asked, “Where are you now? I'll go over to you!”
