Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 228

“I didn’t ask for your help.”

After a long moment, Roxanne finally broke the silence, but her tone still sounded as distant as ever.

Lucian frowned slightly at that, and displeasure filled the look in his eyes. “Is that so? If I didn’t help you just now, how did you plan to get yourself out of that situation?”

Roxanne lowered her gaze. “I am a doctor. I’ll come up with a way eventually.”

Having studied acupuncture for so many years, Roxanne knew which acupuncture points could make someone instantly lose the energy to attack but not lethal enough to kill them.

If the doctor dared to get any closer to her, Roxanne would not hesitate to let him learn the brutal way about the gap

between their medical knowledge.

However, before she could make a move,

Lucian had already appeared before them.

Hearing that, Lucian immediately understood the implication behind her

words.

Back when Roxanne was performing acupuncture on Alfred, Lucian had watched her from one side, so he was aware of just how knowledgeable she was with human acupuncture points.

It was certainly enough to show that Roxanne had the ability to defend herself.

Thinking of this, Lucian could not help but feel more relieved.

However, Lucian was still upset to see her indifferent expression toward him. “In that case, can I assume you’re seeing me as a busybody meddling in your affairs, Ms. Jarvis?” Roxanne fell silent and continued staring at him.

Despite her silence, her expression was

enough to tell him the answer to his

question. It was the first time Lucian was seen as

nosy for helping someone out of

kindness. “Regardless, I still helped you.”

Roxanne did not want to waste more time on this conversation. She frowned and said sarcastically, “Thank you, Mr. Farwell, for helping me. I should really get going. Since you’re here for business, I’m sure someone is waiting for you too. Shouldn’t you return now?”

Despite her protest, Lucian exerted more strength into his grip instead.

Roxanne was in pain, and her expression

changed a little.

Sure enough, Lucian captured every change in her expression, but he did not soften his grasp around her wrist, and he took a step forward.

Roxanne narrowed her eyes and tensed up at his sudden advancement.

Lucian chuckled meaningfully. He exuded a suppressive aura as he stared at Roxanne. “Ms. Jarvis, even if you think of me as a busybody and refuse to thank me for helping you, I still risked losing out on a business opportunity by keeping my client waiting for me for such a long time inside the private room. So, Ms. Jarvis, is there any way you can think of to compensate me for my losses?”

Roxanne frowned and met his gaze.

She refused to believe there would be someone bold enough to refuse to seal a business deal with the Farwell family.

This was only Lucian’s excuse, and she was aware of that.

However, since he had already voiced out about this, she refused to owe him anything.
