Mission To Remarry novel Chapter 879

Chapter 879 Something More

After watching as Roxanne got into the taxi, Jack turned around and glanced at the man beside him with a frown.

Judging by their interactions earlier, Jack could tell that the man seemed to be interested in Roxanne. However, his identity was slightly concerning.

Jack took a sidelong glance at Colby with a hint of mockery flashing across his eyes.

It was not until the taxi disappeared from his eyesight that Colby finally withdrew his gaze and met Jack’s.

“Mr. Damaris.” A rather unusual feeling surged within Colby at that moment, but he quickly suppressed it.

Jack calmly withdrew his gaze and nodded in response.

“Mr. Damaris, you seem to know what is bothering Dr. Jarvis,” Colby started.

Otherwise, he would not have stepped in and helped Roxanne out of the situation before she could say anything. Besides, the two were clearly together before arriving at the research institute.

Jack merely ached a brow in response. “Dr. Galloway, what are you trying to say?”

Colby could hear the hidden hint of disdain in Jack’s tone. Anger swelled in him, but he forced himself to suppress it.

After a few seconds, he said calmly, “I think Dr. Jarvis might be troubled with something related to Mr. Farwell. Earlier, Dr. Jarvis’ expression turned slightly grim when I talked about Herbscape Group with her.”

Jack scrutinized him without agreeing or disagreeing with what he said. Instead, he acted surprised and cocked a brow. “Is that so? I don’t think I paid attention to that.”

Colby believed Lucian must be pursuing Roxanne. However, judging from Jack’s tone, he reckoned there must be more beyond his understanding of the two.

He could not help thinking there was something more behind Roxanne and Lucian’s relationship.

When he came to that realization, his face fell.

Jack stared at him in amusement. “Dr. Galloway, what’s wrong? Well, you can choose not to tell me if it’s something you don’t feel comfortable sharing.”

Jack had spent much effort to finally find out more about Lucian and Roxanne’s relationship. Roxanne and the Farwell family had been keeping their relationship a secret from everyone else. Only a few individuals were aware of it.

Jack was confident that Colby was not among the few individuals who knew about their relationship. Colby had only played along with what Jack had said because he suspected Jack’s relationship with Roxanne. He intended to make Jack feel jealous of Lucian. If a fight broke out between Jack and Lucian over this, Colby could benefit from the rivalry, as he would surely have one lesser love rival.
