NovelAppChapter 2036 Both Parties Satisfied “What do you mean by that, Roxanne?” Orchid scowled.
Suddenly, she noticed Lucian and was startled. “This is...” After all, Lucian had a presence that no one could ignore.
Even though Orchid often attended high-class events and thus had witnessed plenty of prominent figures before, she still couldn't help but marvel at his elegance.
When she saw Lucian standing so close next to Roxanne, her heart was filled with disbelief.

“He's my husband, Lucian Farwell,” replied Roxanne plainly.
Orchid's eyes were filled with shock. So, the news | heard in Dartan is true! Roxanne did remarry her ex-husband.
I also heard her ex was a mogul, but | didn't expect him to be this handsome.
Envy flooded her heart as usual. Why is Roxanne constantly blessed by fate? In terms of medical skills, she's better than me. Among Mr. Lambert's three students, only she learned the fastest and understood the most.
Even he praised her for surpassing him in acupuncture! When it comes to research and development of techniques, she's always one step quicker than everyone else. Each time she attempted something risky, it would pay off fabulously for her! Now, | learned that she has a husband that anyone would be jealous of. How infuriating! “Greetings, Mr. Farwell! I'm Roxanne's senior, Orchid Downey.” Politely, Orchid stretched her hand toward him to shake his.
However, Lucian nodded coldly and reluctantly. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Downey.” It was evident he didn't like her much.
Awkwardness flashed past her face before she turned to Roxanne with knitted eyebrows and questioned, “What's going on with this situation today? You have some explaining to do.” It was taboo for a chief to disobey the company's orders with their employees, regardless of what company they belonged to.
Upon sensing Orchid's intention to corner her, Roxanne changed her demeanor and replied slowly, “I'm sorry, but you didn't tell me you were coming. So, it wasn't the research institute staff member's fault for not recognizing you all. Besides, you would've tried to investigate the information immediately. An act like that would've caused an uproar in other companies!” A gloomy expression was set on Orchid's countenance. | can't believe she's arguing with me, even though she's usually obedient! Then she spoke confidently. “The company and our mentor sent me to conduct this surprise investigation.

Therefore, you obviously wouldn't have been notified of this beforehand. Please announce to everyone that my team will helm the research institute from now on!” Mr. Lambert has always been Roxanne's weakness. She should obey me now that I've brought him up.
However, she was incorrect in her assessment again.
Roxanne turned to Lucian, saw the look of encouragement in his eyes, and replied, “I'm sorry, Orchid, but I can't execute the company's order. There are still many things that haven't been discussed clearly yet. | won't hand over the research institute until then.” Disbelief colored Orchid's countenance.
She gritted her teeth and questioned, “Are you planning to ignore Mr. Lambert's order?” Firmly, Roxanne responded, “Perhaps. We should discuss this in more detail. If we can satisfy both parties, I'll cooperate.”
