Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian)
Chapter 66

Chapter 66

When Aubree heard Frieda's answer, a mixture of emotions brewed in her eyes.

Having been turned down by Lucian previously and suddenly learning that Roxanne had returned to the country, she didn't dare wait anymore. In the past few days, she had been doing everything possible to have an identity linking her to the man.

Early that morning, she had purposely asked Elias and Sonya to persuade Lucian. She had thought he would listen to his parents and change his mind, yet again she had hit a brick wall and even had to put up with Estella for the entire day.

With the couple there, she didn't dare throw a tantrum either.

Enraged at the end of the day, she had asked Frieda out to shop in a bid to dissipate her anger.

However, never had she expected to hear such news.

Countless renowned doctors were helpless in the face of Old Mr. Queen's condition, yet Roxanne managed to cure him. That aside, Jonathan even signed a contract with her, promising to supply medicinal herbs to the research institute at half the price! In that case, haven't my efforts of urging the medicinal herbs suppliers in Horington to boycott her research institute been in vain?

At that line of thought, Aubree's gaze turned chilly. "Didn't I arrange for a medical team to treat Old Mr. Queen? Were they not effective? Why was she allowed to take over his treatment?"

While saying that, she glanced at the woman who was meters away from her with fury blazing within her.

I've gone to such lengths, but she still managed to replace a medicinal herb supplier in Horington! She must have laughed at me behind my back!

Frieda was startled for a moment before she hesitantly replied, "It's not that. The medical team you arranged was unquestionably effective, but she came knocking on our door and convinced my brother. Besides, Grandpa's condition has indeed improved following her treatment. For that reason, my brother has decided that she'd be in charge henceforth."

With things having come to this, nothing I say will be of use.

Aubree snorted inwardly, but her expression remained as courteous as ever. She said to Roxanne, "I didn't know that you even have such capabilities, Ms. Jarvis, that even a professional medical team can't compare to you alone."

Swiping a finger across the screen of her phone, Roxanne retorted indifferently, "There are many more things you don't know. Why, are you still planning to sabotage me further after learning that I signed a contract with the Queen family?"

Aubree's gaze abruptly darkened. Despite that, she sounded very much innocent when she said, "What did you mean by that? I'm thankful that you cured Old Mr. Queen, so how could I possibly sabotage you?"

Not in the mood to play along with her, Roxanne answered directly, "I'm sure you know full well

what I meant by that. Also, I don't care if you still want to sabotage me further."

Aubree's face darkened frightfully. She didn't reply immediately.

Beside her, Frieda cautiously interjected upon seeing the two of them at each other's throats. "Aubree, are you both... acquainted?"

At that, A After say
