Chapter 920 Not That Simple

Roxanne could feel Lucian’s heavy gaze on her back. Although her back was facing him, she still could not ignore

the fact he was staring at her. Due to Lucian’s presence, she was no longer in the mood to eat anything.

“You kids go ahead. I have something to discuss with Mr. Farwell,” said Roxanne softly after taking several quick

bites and placing away her cutleries.

She could not stand having Lucian staring at her all the time, and she wanted to know why he came to her place.

The kids did not think too much about that and nodded obediently in response.

Seeing that the kids had agreed to let her go, Roxanne stood up and walked over to Lucian. “Let’s talk in the study.”

Lucian nodded casually and stood up, following her to the study.

“Mr. Farwell, to what do I owe this pleasure of having you over at my place? Do you have something important to

tell me?” Roxanne stood in the center of the study, looking at him warily. “If you’re here to offer me the technical

advisor’s position for Herbscape Group again, I’m afraid I’ll have to let you down since I’ve already made it clear

that I couldn’t accept that offer.”

That was the only thing that she could think of at that moment.

Noticing Roxanne was on high alert around him, Lucian’s gaze darkened imperceptibly.

The atmosphere inside the study also became slightly solemn.

Roxanne fixed her eyes on Lucian, afraid that he would make any sudden move on her again like the other night.

After a long moment, Lucian was still staring at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe as if he wanted to read

through her mind.

Roxanne’s wariness for him slowly turned into confusion.

“I heard a fire broke out at your research institute a few days ago.” Finally, Lucian broke the silence in the study.

At the mention of the fire incident, Roxanne’s expression changed again. She frowned. “How did you find out about

the fire?”

She did not recall telling anyone associated with Lucian about the fire.

Could it be that Lucian did plan for the fire to happen?

With that in her mind, she subconsciously took two steps backward. The man standing before her had somehow

turned a little scary in her eyes.

Noticing her reaction, Lucian furrowed his brows. “Are you suspecting that I was behind the fire incident?”

Roxanne pursed her lips tight, answering him with silence.

Lucian seemed pissed off by her tacit acquiescence. “Why would I make a move on your tiny research institute?”

He noticed she was still giving him a doubtful look, so he narrowed his eyes and continued, “If I was behind this, I

wouldn’t have stopped at a mere fire incident in your research institute!”

He had plenty of methods to stop her research institute from operating if he was serious about teaching her a

lesson. A fire was too insignificant.

Hearing that, Roxanne felt her heart skipping a beat. She was reminded of Herbscape Group’s current situation.

She knew Lucian was telling her the truth. If he were determined to get rid of her research institute, he would not

stop at such a simple tactic.

Thinking of that, her doubts for him finally dispersed a little. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think this through and thought you

have implicated our research institute for your feud with Herbscape Group.”

Hearing her straightforward apology, Lucian frowned even harder.

He had listened to Jonathan and came to her place to help her when she needed it most, yet she suspected him in

return.

Lucian was fuming, but her apology forced him to swallow back his anger, making him feel like he had nowhere to

vent it out.

For a moment there, his expression became inscrutable.
