Chapter 731 How To Clarify Roxanne looked at the man before her. At the thought that he cto help her out of the situation despite being angry, she was moved and softened her expression as she briefly and concisely told him what had happened the day before.

“Ms. Hightower told Jack to get in touch with me, saying that she wanted to apologize toin person. | went for the appointment as | couldn't refuse her request. | never expected to be photographed then. The photo of us holding hands was Jack supportingbecause | nearly fell down the stairs. | knew I'd be drinking during the meal so | didn’t drive. Jack drovethere instead as we were heading the sway, and he sentback afterward. He only droppedat the entrance and didn’t even get out of the car.” She knew what explanation the man wanted from her, so she picked the part he wanted to hear in the hope that it would calm him down and he would not put her in a difficult spot before the media.

Lucian’s eyes darkened when he heard her explanation. The suspicion in his eyes gradually faded alongside the anger within him, but he quickly discovered something was off.

“If Jessica went to apologize to you, why are you and Jack the only two people in the photo? Where was she?” Roxanne’s tone was hesitant when she replied with a slight frown, “Ms. Hightower told us to eat first as she was stuck in traffic. That photo was taken while we were waiting for her.” A cold glint flashed across Lucian’s eyes as he nodded.

“Today's news is truly just a misunderstanding. You don’t need to be angry about it, Mr. Farwell, so go back quickly,” Roxanne urged with furrowed brows when she noticed someone filming in the corner.

Lucian followed her gaze and narrowed his eyes dangerously when he saw the camera in the corner.

Seeing that, the reporter holding it trembled, got up in fear, and ran away.

Only then did Lucian turn around. “Can you get in the car now, Ms. Jarvis?” he asked indifferently.

Roxanne did not expect him to be so insistent and felt a little helpless. “There are enough people involved in this matter. | don’t want it to affect people who have nothing to do with it.” As her words fell, she saw the man’s eyes darkening and tensed up involuntarily.

“Such small trouble can’t affect me.” Lucian grabbed her wrist and led her in the direction of the car. “Nor do | want to be just an irrelevant person in your eyes.” Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat when she heard that, and by the tshe reacted, he had already sat her down in his car.

Outside the car window, many reporters merely looked over dumbfoundedly, holding their cameras up but not daring to take any photos.

As the car slowly drove away from the entrance of the research institute, those reporters and the crowd were also left far behind.

The noise surrounding Roxanne also faded into silence.

She could not help but stare blankly at Lucian’s impassive profile, and she unknowingly calmed down.

Neither of them uttered a single word throughout the car ride.

Roxanne did not even ask Lucian where he was taking her, merely contemplating how she was going to clarify the rumors later with narrowed eyes.

By the tshe snapped back to reality, they had arrived at her house.

“Rest well at hthese two days. I'll handle the chaos online and take charge of picking up Archie and Benny,” Lucian said solemnly.

Roxanne, however, appeared a little hesitant when she heard his words. “It’s fine. I'll get a friend to pick them up.” “What if the reporters find the kindergarten?” Lucian shot down her idea with a frown. “Can your friend handle it?” The thought of the reporters heckling her children caused a sinking feeling to creep into Roxanne’s heart. In the end, she agreed, “In that case... I'll leave them in your care, Mr. Farwell.”
