Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 1694

Roxanne's surprise was something Lucian had expected.

Nevertheless, he did not plan to hide anything about Jack from her.

He wanted her to find out how dangerous Jack was so that she would stay far from him.

“Every time you talked business with him, he had been using an aroma lamp to diffuse the poison he made. The poison only takes effect after a few times of exposure,” Lucian revealed Jack's nefarious plan.

A thought popped into Roxanne's mind when she heard that. “No wonder...”

“No wonder what?”

Roxanne met his eyes and said, “I clearly rejected him about the collaboration with Damaris Group, but Jack suddenly came to the research institute and asked to have a talk about it in the car. I caught a whiff of something in the car, but I didn't dwell on it at that time.”

It must have been the last dose of poison from Jack.

Upon realizing that, Roxanne found a chill running down her spine when she thought about Jack's face. “I thought he was benevolent because he was a doctor, but now I'm starting to doubt my beliefs...”

She could not believe a Damaris would be that devious.

“That's why I said it's my fault that this happened to you.” Lucian's guilt and self-blame were visible in his eyes.

Roxanne snapped back to her senses at his words and disagreed with him. “Why would you say that? This was Jack's fault!”

A wry smile was on Lucian's lips as he ran his fingers through her long hair. “If I hadn't taught you how to negotiate with others, you wouldn't have got into a conflict with him regarding the profits. I'd rather have you settle on a fifty-fifty profit back then.”
