“Sit.” Lucian held Roxanne’s hand and gestured for her to sit on the couch. After she sat down, Lucian stepped into the cockpit.Roxanne raised her head and watched him operate the aircraft. Moments later, the helicopter slowly ascended into the sky.“You know how to pilot a helicopter?” she asked, astonished.Lucian chuckled. “Truth be told, there are very few things in this world I don’t know how to do.”Roxanne was stunned for a few seconds. He’s not wrong, considering he was born into an extremely affluent family. He has too much energy and money to develop any interests and hobbies he has. It’s a shame he didn’t show any of it in our previous marriage.Having guessed what was on her mind, Lucian glanced back and said, “I only learned how to fly a helicopter two years ago. As for the rest of my skills, I’ll show them to you in the future.”Roxanne flashed him a small smile.As the helicopter flew high into the sky, Lucian suggested, “Look outside the window.”Roxanne looked out a

“As far as I know, Mr. Damaris’ vision for this project was to give patients a fighting chance. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.” Despite her efforts to explain, some team leaders continued to whisper among themselves, casting suspicious looks in her direction. The conference room was so quiet that she could hear one of the leaders whisper.“If anyone has any concerns, please don’t hesitate to voice them. I’m here to listen,” Roxanne said courteously while looking at the team leader.The team leader turned around and met her gaze. After a few seconds of silence, he expressed his doubts. “Ms. Jarvis, you were the only one who negotiated with Damaris Group, and we had been kept in the dark throughout the negotiation.”Roxanne lowered her gaze slightly and responded softly, “I’ll explain everything if you wish to know what transpired.”She felt a little uneasy as she looked at the faces before her.Undoubtedly, she had acted unilaterally and set the price without consulti

After watching Roxanne enter the research institute, Lucian turned the car around and headed toward Queen Group. Jonathan had just returned and was about to enter his office when Lucian arrived at Queen Group.“Lucian, what brings you here to see me today?” Jonathan smiled when he saw Lucian. However, the smile on Lucian’s face took Jonathan by surprise. “Wait. Are you really Lucian? Or are you someone disguised as him?”Lucian’s expression turned cold, and he stared at Jonathan speechlessly. “Yes, it’s me.”Jonathan was certain he was seeing Lucian only when the latter schooled his expression. He opened the door and invited Lucian into the office.“Why are you here out of the blue?” After pouring two cups of coffee for Lucian and himself, Jonathan sat on the couch. “Did you and Roxanne—”Lucian glanced at him. “Roxanne needs your help.”“Since you’ve asked, I’ll definitely help you,” Jonathan agreed to it in a heartbeat.“I would like to trouble you to—”“You don’t have to be so pol

Roxanne had been in a meeting the entire afternoon. Yet, there were still no leads. She looked gloomy when she returned to the Farwell residence. “Mommy, why didn’t you pick us up in the afternoon?”Lucian had picked the children up that day, and they had been asking for Roxanne the entire evening.The second she returned, Benny immediately went to meet her at the door. His disappointment was written all over his face.Seeing that, Roxanne forced a smile at them. “I was busy in the afternoon. I’ll pick you up once I’m done with my work.”Lucian, who was observing them by the side, raised his brow. “Are you guys upset that I picked all of you up alone? Or maybe you prefer Mr. Lawson more?”Upon hearing that, the children hurriedly hugged his thighs. “No! We don’t want Mr. Lawson. We want you, Daddy!”“Run along and play, then,” said Lucian while patting their heads.The children’s gazes shifted from Roxanne to Lucian. They could tell the adults had something to talk about, so they tac

An hour had pa*sed, and Aubree lay on the bed, numb and tearful, with hickeys covering her body. The man lay beside her, naked and smug.I have to say, this young lady is different from the prostitutes I’ve slept with. She’s so fair and flawless and even smells great. It would be such a shame to only sleep with her once.With that, he sat up and turned to face Aubree.Aubree felt his gaze on her and returned it with a hateful glare, her face stained with tears. She wished she could tear him apart.“Don’t give me that look. You won’t be marrying into some rich family anymore, so why not let me take advantage of you? You must realize I’m the only one who can help you now since you’re all alone in a foreign country. I can even make sure you’re well-fed if you’re good.”Aubree turned away in disdain and tightened her grip on the covers, desperately wanting to cover herself up.However, her actions only provoked the man, who reached under the covers and touched her all over.Despite feeli
