Chapter 1616 Speak To Her

Upon leaving the Damaris residence, Jack drove back to Damaris Group.

On the way back, he replayed the live stream of the press conference.

The sight of how loving Roxanne and Lucian were filled him with frustration.

Upon arriving at Damaris Group, he quickly noticed the strange looks his staff was giving him.

Evidently, news of Roxanne forming a partnership with Farwell Group had become public knowledge.

“What are you looking at? Go back to your desks!” Jack barked.

The crowd gradually retracted their gazes as they returned to their stations.

Upon storming back into his office, Jack slammed the door behind him.

“Mr. Damaris...” Kevin entered warily. “With regard to the medicinal herbs that we have reserved for the research

institute, should we continue to set them aside?”

Previously, Jack had ordered it to be done, for he was certain that Roxanne would change her mind and collaborate

with him.

Little did he expect her to form a partnership with Farwell Group and Queen Group instead.

Upon a long deliberation, he answered coldly, “Leave them as it is. Call Ms. Jarvis and arrange a meeting. I would

like to speak to her.”

Even if Roxanne had come to an agreement with the other two companies, Jack didn't believe they would be able to

send medicinal herbs over to the research institute on such short notice.

He still stood a chance as long as he could speak to her before she received the herbs.

Upon receiving the instructions, Kevin did as he was told.

Roxanne picked up the call without a moment's delay.

“Ms. Jarvis, I'm Mr. Damaris' assistant. I wonder if you have time to spare, as Mr. Damaris would like to have a chat

with you.”

The press conference had just ended, and Roxanne was on the way home with Lucian.

Kevin's proposal caused her to look at Lucian by reflex.

In response, Lucian nodded, indicating that it was up to her.

Retracting her gaze and pursing her lips, Roxanne flatly replied, “Please tell Mr. Damaris that my decision is firm

and there's nothing for us to discuss. I have found new partners to work with. The only thing left to talk about is

compensation. That is something you should speak to my lawyers about.”

With that, Roxanne ended the call.

Satisfied with Roxanne's decisive response, Lucian held her hand with a smile.

Meanwhile, a grim look descended upon Kevin's face, causing Jack's expression to change drastically.

“What did she say? When does she have time?”

Kevin's voice began to quiver. “Ms. Jarvis mentioned that the only thing left to discuss is compensation. S-She wants

us to talk to her lawyer about it.”

Jack's eyes narrowed as his voice turned frosty. “Say that again.”

Sensing his anger, Kevin steeled himself to repeat the statement despite the growing panic within him.

“That ungrateful b*tch!”

Having been reprimanded by Hector and almost losing the Damaris family's controlling stake, Jack was further

enraged by Roxanne's rejection.

Kevin was cowed into silence, for this was the first time he had ever seen Jack this angry throughout his long

career.

Subsequently, a deathly silence fell upon the office.

It wasn't until a long while passed that Jack waved his hand at Kevin. “You're dismissed!”

Heaving a sigh of relief, Kevin turned and scurried away.

Inside the office, Jack—with an insidious look in his eyes—got up from his desk and retrieved an aroma lamp from

his drawer.

“Roxanne, I have given you plenty of opportunities, but you have spurned them all. Don't blame me for my ruthless

methods!”
