The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 1613

Meanwhile, Hector saw the live broadcast on the internet as well.

When he saw Lucian announce that Farwell Group would be working with Roxanne’s research institute and that Queen Group would be supplying medicinal herbs to the research institute, he was dumbfounded.

He switched on the television and told someone to summon Jack.

“What’s the matter, Grandpa?”

Jack had been confidently waiting for Roxanne to relent to him, so he did not think much of Hector’s summon.

However, the second he entered the room, he saw the live broadcast on the television screen, and he paled.

“Answer me. How is our collaboration with Dr. Jarvis going so far?” Hector asked, clinging to the last bit of hope.

By then, Roxanne and Lucian were already signing the contract as shown on the screen.

Knowing that he could not keep the matters under wrap anymore, Jack tried to keep a lighthearted tone as he said, “As you can see, not too well.”

Hector slammed his cane against the floor. “What do you mean by not too well? It’s not going too well to the point Dr. Jarvis decided to turn to another company for her supply of medicinal herbs?”

A while ago, Hector had heard that Roxanne’s research institute had developed a new kind of drug that could be released to the market soon.
Meonwhile, Hector sow the live broodcost on the internet os well.

When he sow Lucion onnounce thot Forwell Group would be working with Roxonne’s reseorch institute ond thot Queen Group would be supplying medicinol herbs to the reseorch institute, he wos dumbfounded.

He switched on the television ond told someone to summon Jock.

“Whot’s the motter, Grondpo?”

However, the second he entered the room, he sow the live broodcost on the television screen, ond he poled.

“Answer me. How is our colloborotion with Dr. Jorvis going so for?” Hector osked, clinging to the lost bit of hope.

By then, Roxonne ond Lucion were olreody signing the controct os shown on the screen.

A while ogo, Hector hod heord thot Roxonne’s reseorch institute hod developed o new kind of drug thot could be releosed to the morket soon.
Meanwhile, Hector saw the live broadcast on the internet as well.

“I want an explanation! What is going on?” Hector roared and stomped the ground when he heard no reply from Jack.

Jack came back to his senses and lowered his gaze in silent contemplation for a while.

“Grandpa, I’ve tried my best to score a collaboration with her, but you have no idea how Dr. Jarvis, with Lucian’s guidance, refused to relent when it came to the profits. She had been putting us in tough spots, and it was impossible for us to negotiate anything with her.”

Hector snapped, “Why didn’t you come to me when this happened?”

Jack quietly raked his gaze over Hector in disdain, but he maintained a respectful look. “Dr. Jarvis told me she needed time to mull over this after our last negotiation. I never thought she would immediately work with another company instead. It’s true that Dr. Jarvis is an excellent doctor, but she’s not a good business partner. She doesn’t even have integrity.”

In other words, Jack was putting the blame on her.

“Shut up!” Hector threw the cup on the table in his wrath. “Why didn’t you come to seek my help when you weren’t able to come to an agreement on the profits? I’m old, not dead!”

If Roxanne were to work with Damaris Group for her newly developed drug, Damaris Group would be able to reach a new high in their reputation.

Alas, that had nothing to do with Damaris Group anymore.
