NovelStartChapter 420 The car gradually came to a stop in front of the hotel. After bidding Larry goodbye, Roxanne got out of the car and headed into the building.
When the next morning rolled around, Roxanne went to Jasper's office to sign the contract at the scheduled time. Once that was done, Roxanne boarded the flight back home.
The moment she sat down in her seat, her nerves, which had been on an edge, finally relaxed.
Upon arriving at her destination, all she needed to do left was to observe how things were going to proceed. Once she made sure that the supplies given by the few companies were stable, Roxanne could finally leave the country in peace.

Roxanne came back to her senses and glanced at the person next to her. When she realized who it was, her expression stiffened.
“Are you going to think that I'm stalking you again, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian’s tone was filled with mockery as he quirked an eyebrow.
“If you are uncomfortable, would you like me to switch seats with someone else?” Roxanne balled her fists to suppress the displeasure in her heart. “Don’t bother. | wouldn't make such a request to a stranger either,” she replied emotionlessly.
With that, she turned away from Lucian and leaned back against her seat, Recalling what he had seen outside the banquet hall that night and noticing how Roxanne was treating him on the plane, Lucian grew angry all of a sudden. “Why are you by yourself, Ms. Jarvis? Where's Mr. Morrison? Why isn’t he with you?” At the mention of Larry’s name, Roxanne sat upright and looked at Lucian in discontentment. “There’s nothing between Larry and me. Please refrain from speaking nonsense, Mr. Farwell.” Lucian snorted. “Why did you assume | thought there was something between the both of you?” Roxanne parted her lips, but she did not know how to respond to his question. Instead, she fell back into her seat indignantly and pulled her blanket up to her face. She no longer wanted to pay any attention to the person next to her.
What is his problem? As far as | know, Larry has barely ever interacted with Lucian, yet Lucian keeps going after him. - Lucian’s eyes turned cold when he noticed that she was annoyed. He was just about to say something when a flight attendant walked toward them. He frowned and suppressed the rage within him, keeping his words to himself.
The plane soon took off.
Roxanne was lying stiftly on her side facing the window. During the flight, she heard the flight attendants walking over a few times to ask if they needed anything, and Lucian rejected the flight attendants coldly every time.
Roxanne was definitely not about to turn around to face Lucian.
However, every time the flight attendant left, his gaze would land on her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAll Roxanne felt was discomfort when that happened.
Just as Lucian’s eyes settled on her once again, Roxanne flung the blanket off and sat upright. She was about to open her mouth to say something when Lucian beat her to it. “She said that we are expected to be hit with turbulence, and the airplane might shake violently.” The words that Roxanne was about to say ended up being caught in her throat. There was a look of confusion on her face.
However, before she could react, the airplane started to jolt.
Roxanne, having lost her balance, accidentally lurched toward Lucian before her seatbelt pulled her back.
She had just settled back into her seat when shouts and sounds of queries could be heard around her.
“What's going on? Will the plane be able to land safely?” “Are we going to die?” It was the passengers’ first time encountering something like this, and they were understandably nervous.
Through the speaker, a flight attendant explained to the passengers the reason behind the sudden jerk. She also tried to calm the passengers down.
However, just as she managed to calm everyone down, the plane jerked again. This time, it was more violent than before.
