Ex-Wife Don't Leave, Love Is Coming Again! novel Chapter 909

It took a while for Roxanne to think of a reason for Jason Coleman's action. “Dr. Coleman, did you accidentally misplace some medicinal herbs and didn't store them properly? Is that why the fire started?”

That was the only reason she could think of.

Surprisingly, Jason shook his head and subconsciously looked at the man standing next to Roxanne.

Colby looked somber when he met Jason's gaze. “After you guys left yesterday afternoon, I was also getting ready to leave. However, I bumped into Jason. He told me he needed to fetch something from the research institute. I didn't think so much about it, so I let him in. I only locked the door after he came out.”

In other words, Colby was telling everyone that he didn't know what Jason was doing after he went inside.

Roxanne was still in shock, so she merely nodded absentmindedly.

Colby could tell she was still in shock. With a glimmer of darkness flashing across his eyes, he asked Jason on her behalf, “What did you do after you came in?”

Jason lowered his head guiltily and uttered apologetically, “I...”

He couldn't finish his sentence. It was as if he was utterly ashamed of his actions.

A while later, he uttered through his gritted teeth, “I'm so sorry, Dr. Jarvis.”

He had basically admitted his crime with that sentence.

Finally, Roxanne managed to calm herself down. She then clenched her fists and asked, “Why did you do it?”

At that point, what Jason did the day before didn't matter to Roxanne anymore.

After all, the storage was filled with flammable substances. For a researcher who was an expert in chemicals, setting the storage ablaze was child's play.
