Chapter 919 Injured In The Fire

The four were having dinner when the doorbell suddenly rang. Lysa went to answer the door.

“Hello, Ms. Lane!” a child greeted politely at the mansion’s door. Then, Lysa was heard saying, “Ms. Jarvis, Mr.

Farwell and Essie are here.”

Hearing that, Roxanne’s hand froze in mid-air. She was at a loss for words at that moment.

Ever since what happened the other night, she and Lucian had never seen each other. She had no idea why he

would come to her place out of the blue.

She also did not know how to face him. Just when she was hesitating to invite him and Estella inside, Archie and

Benny were already welcoming them excitedly.

“Essie, come on in. Have you eaten dinner? If not, you can join us!”

Naturally, Estella did not decline their invitation. Soon, she followed Archie and Benny into the dining room.

The adults, Lucian and Roxanne, remained silent throughout the process. The kids were the ones making the

decision instead. “Ms. Jarvis!” Upon seeing Roxanne, Estella immediately snuggled up to her.

Archie and Benny were used to that and quickly emptied the seat next to Roxanne. Estella smiled sweetly at Archie

and Benny before taking her seat next to Roxanne.

“Mr. Farwell, come and join us!” Benny looked at the man standing in the living room.

Hearing that, Roxanne tensed up a little and felt somewhat uneasy. If Lucian were to sit across from her, she was

worried she could not eat dinner in peace.

Then, she heard Lucian’s low voice ring out from behind her, saying, “It’s okay. You guys go ahead with Essie.”

With that, Lucian glanced at Roxanne’s back with his dark gaze before sitting on the couch expressionlessly.

Even though he wasn’t standing before her, Roxanne still slowed down eating visibly, and her mind was a mess.

Earlier that afternoon, Herbscape Group once again received enormous backlash from the public. In the news

report, the mostly deserted entrance to Herbscape Group was filled with several executives who had their hands

handcuffed before they were escorted to the police cars.

It was not until that day that the public finally got confirmation about Herbscape Group’s fate. It ended up being

acquired by Farwell Group.

Roxanne did not have to think twice to know Farwell Group must have saved a lot of money to acquire Herbscape

Group in such a situation.

Did Lucian plan all of these? Also, what about the fire at the research institute?

With that in her mind, Roxanne could not help feeling frightened.

“Ms. Jarvis, here, have some.” Estella placed some food on Roxanne’s plate.

Roxanne snapped back to her senses and forced a smile at her. “Thank you, Essie.”

Estella looked at her with great concern. “Ms. Jarvis, are you not in a good mood?”

In the past, Roxanne would always take good care of them whenever they ate together. However, the woman

seemed absent-minded this time and could barely take any food for herself.

Hearing that, something flickered in Roxanne’s eyes, but she quickly concealed that and said, “Of course not. I’ve

been busy lately, so I’m feeling a little tired. Essie, you don’t have to worry about me.”

Despite that, Estella still stared at her with a worried expression and would occasionally place food on her plate.

At the same time, when Lucian heard what Roxanne said, he also fixed his gaze on her back inquisitively.

He was reminded of what Jonathan told him.

Is she really tired, or is she injured in the fire?
