Since Colby had been arrested, the research institute would end up without a leader at the helm if
Roxanne were to leave.
Thus, she could only stay for the time being and seek out another trustworthy researcher. She told him
about the subsequent project arrangements and had him take Colby’s place temporarily.
Worried, Lucian kept watch beside her.
By the time Roxanne was done giving her instructions, it was already evening, time for everyone to get
off work.
Getting to her feet, she left with Lucian.
No sooner had they reached the entrance of the research institute than a Rolls-Royce suddenly
screeched to a stop before them with great fanfare.
Roxanne found the car in front of her a tad familiar, but she couldn’t remember whose vehicle it was at
that very moment.
Before she could figure out the answer, the driver’s door had already swung open. Jack alighted from the
car with a concerned expression on his face.
“Mr. Damaris?”
At the sight of him, a myriad of emotions brewed within Roxanne.
Prior to Colby’s detention, she had little trust in Jack. Therefore, she hadn’t contacted him recently.
Seeing him right then, she felt both apologetic and surprised.
Beside her, Lucian expressionlessly inclined his head at Jack in greeting.
On the contrary, Jack grinned at the man amicably. “Thank you for intervening in this matter and clearing
up my name, Mr. Farwell!”
When Lucian heard that, his expression darkened a shade.
Meanwhile, puzzlement inundated Roxanne. “You already know about it?”
How did he catch wind of it so fast? It’s only been half a day since Colby was taken into custody.
In response, Jack chortled. “Don’t forget that your research institute is pretty well-known in Horington.
Furthermore, it has a collaboration with Damaris Group. After the arrest in the morning, news of it
circulated in the afternoon.”
After saying that, he pinned a meaningful look on Lucian before adding, “Of course, someone in
particular also played a pivotal role in that.”
Following his gaze, Roxanne looked at the man beside her. Surprise showed in her eyes.
He has been with me all this time, yet I have no inkling when he spread the news!
“Anyway, I’m really curious about one thing. How did you manage to catch him, Mr. Farwell?” Jack asked
sincerely.
Ever since the day Roxanne was poisoned, he had harbored suspicions against Colby.
Alas, there was no substantial evidence. He wanted to seek Roxanne out for help, but Lucian stood in
his way.
Lucian suspected him to a great extent, so there was no way the former would lend him a hand.
As such, he could only investigate by himself. Regretfully, he didn’t find any evidence even after delving
into the incident for days.
In the face of Jack’s question, Lucian acted as though he didn’t hear it, saying nary a word.
At the side, Roxanne sensed that the atmosphere between them was somewhat tense, so she
interjected with the narration of events that morning.
Jack quirked a brow after hearing about Lucian’s tactic. “I didn’t expect you to be so ingenious, Mr.
Farwell. On top of that, it sounds as though it didn’t require much effort. I’m truly impressed!”
Despite the compliment, there wasn’t a hint of admiration in Jack’s eyes.
Discerning the implication behind his remark, Roxanne threw Lucian a look in exasperation.
Upon noticing that he had no intention of speaking, she had no choice but to apologize on his behalf.
“Sorry for misunderstanding you previously. Please don’t take any offense, Mr. Damaris.”
Jack cast Lucian an unfathomable glance before turning his gaze back to her. “It’s only natural that you
suspected me. After all, Dr. Galloway and I were the only ones around you back then. But I never
expected you to stop contacting me for such a long time, Ms. Jarvis. I was exceedingly worried about
your condition.”
