All Chapters of The abandoned Wife : Chapter 751 - Chapter 760

A cold look flashed past Jack’s eyes when he heard her reject him firmly, but he was quick to suppress it. “I’m serious about this, Roxanne. We need to date each other if we want to truly maximize our potential. Don’t you want to develop your career in the medical field?” Jack pleaded earnestly with an expectant look in his eyes.However, his ambitious confession only scared Roxanne even more. “I do want to develop my career, but not like this! You’ve had too much to drink, Mr. Damaris. Let’s end this conversation here.”Roxanne was about to get up and leave when Jack let out a wry chuckle. “I knew it… I knew you would reject me, Roxanne. I just didn’t think you’d do so without at least giving me a chance. Is being with me really that bad? I don’t even know how Lucian is better than me.”Roxanne closed her eyes and calmed herself down before replying coldly, “This has nothing to do with Lucian. I simply don’t have feelings for you. Still, I would like to thank you for not resorting t

Roxanne subconsciously glanced at Lucian. He nodded at her.She completely relaxed after receiving his affirmation. Then, she shared the result of their initial discussion earlier.“This is my two cents. Damaris Group provided us with the medicinal herbs and distribution channel for this collaboration. However, technology-wise, the credits belong almost entirely to the research institute. I can even say that the research institute is the real owner of this core technology in developing this new medicine. For this reason and considering our experiences working together with other groups, the profit should be divided into a twenty-eighty split. Our research institute will take the larger portion of the earnings.”She was the person in charge of the research institute, after all. Although Roxanne wasn’t sufficiently familiar with that aspect, she still commanded an extraordinary presence.A hint of admiration glinted in Lucian’s eyes as he listened to her speech and took in her serious

After another round of discussions, both of them decided that they could give in more. Roxanne then sent Jack a message, indicating to him that she was willing to give up three more percent. If Damaris Group found it unacceptable, they would have no choice but to cancel the collaboration.However, she didn’t receive a response despite waiting for a long time.Since it was noon and there was nothing much to do, Lucian decided to take Roxanne out for lunch.Seemingly to make up for the disappointment last time, Lucian made reservations for Horington’s best restaurant, where he ordered the couple’s set on purpose.Upon their arrival, both of them were ushered to their table by two members of the staff.“Sir, I’m sorry, but we have run out of the drinks for the couple’s set. May I know if you would like to switch to a different one or have a refund?” the waitress asked upon confirming their orders.Roxanne was surprised to learn that Lucian had ordered the couple’s set. She hadn’t expect

Just as she finished talking, Roxanne turned to cast the sales attendant nearby an embarra*sed glance. Naturally, the sales attendant heard what Roxanne said, but she merely smiled politely at her without saying a word.Lucian had an affectionate look in his eyes when he saw Roxanne getting anxious.A few moments later, the staff approached them with the wrapped-up clothes.Lucian took the bags and said to Roxanne, “I’ll pay for these. You’ll just have to pay for the suit I’m wearing, Roxanne.”With that, he smiled and waited for Roxanne’s reply.Six years ago, Roxanne regretted not buying clothes for Lucian. Since he was giving her a chance to make it up to him, she readily agreed.Lucian wanted to continue trying on the other clothes, but Roxanne immediately stopped him. “That’s enough…”Roxanne then glanced at the sales attendant embarra*singly before whispering, “You’ll still have to wear the ones in the bags. We can check them out by then.”Lucian seemed dissatisfied after not b

Lucian met Roxanne’s gaze calmly. An accusatory look danced past his eyes, almost like he wanted to tell on her. Roxanne retracted her gaze in annoyance and leaned over to carry Estella up. “Come on. I’ll bring you upstairs to try on the dresses.”Estella reached out and held onto Roxanne tightly.Just as the two turned and strode toward the stairs, a commotion resounded from upstairs.“You guys better be careful. Don’t break or drop anything.” Sonya’s slightly displeased voice rang in everyone’s ears.Puzzled, Roxanne lifted her gaze, only to find several housekeepers moving many bags down under Catalina’s instructions while Sonya followed behind, with displeasure written all over her face.When Sonya saw Lucian, Roxanne, and the kids downstairs, her expression darkened even more.Roxanne carefully put Estella back on the couch, then whipped her head around to look at Lucian with a questioning look, seemingly asking him what the situation was about.Lucian shifted his gaze onto Sony
