Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825 Proactive

Regarding the public outcry, all Colby could do was provide a few statements from the perspective of the research institute. However, they did not do much to help.

Somehow, the situation slowly began to die down. In fact, it was completely turned around after Harvey’s interview the next day.

Colby was humbled when he learned that Lucian was the one responsible and ashamed that he failed to help Roxanne with such a minor problem.

The man felt even more insecure when he remembered meeting Lucian at Roxanne’s house. If he was at Roxanne’s at that hour, they must be quite close!

Colby’s sense of insecurity instantly intensified when he thought of that.

He had thought he could stay by Roxanne’s side quietly, but when he saw how she could end up in another man’s arms and how unlikely he was to beat his competitor, he realized he could not be as selfless as he thought.

After chit-chatting with Roxanne, Hector changed the topic back to the project. “Dr. Jarvis, your medical knowledge is impressive even though you’re young. You even gained Professor Lambert’s favor. I can tell he sees greatness in you since he stood up for you without a second thought.”

Roxanne’s eyes were filled with respect for Harvey when she thought of the man. “Professor Lambert treats his students all the same. If any of my classmates were put in the same situation, he would’ve done the same thing.”

Meanwhile, Jack gave Colby a strange look because he sensed something was off. I remember how this man used to keep to himself in the research institute, so why would he suddenly be so proactive?

On top of that, Jack had noticed Colby sneaking a few glances at Roxanne just now, so he was convinced that Colby had an ulterior motive for being so helpful.

However, he would rather not make an effort to guess what the motive was. Anyhow, Colby would have to come to me sooner or later if he wanted to be a part of the project.

With that thought in mind, Jack knitted his eyebrows slightly before extending an olive branch and pretending to be oblivious. “I’m grateful that you’re willing to assist us with the project, Dr. Galloway. This is a toast to you.”

Naturally, Colby had no problem with the peace offering, so he, too, downed his drink as a courtesy.
