The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 362

A good half an hour passed before Larry got back to her.

Almost immediately, Roxanne was there to pick up the very moment the phone screen lit up. “How did it go, Larry?” she asked anxiously.

Larry's tone sounded somewhat somber. “Discussions were going pretty well, that is, until I mentioned your research institute. It seemed to have altered their attitude completely.”

Upon hearing that, Roxanne's eyes dimmed, and her lips curled up slightly into a soured expression. “I see. Sorry to trouble you. Going forward, please do not get yourself involved in this matter anymore. I'll figure out a way to resolve it myself.

She was concerned that Larry would also be marked should he continue to help her.

When her voice faded out, she heard Larry forward a query quite out of the blue, “What's going on between you and Mr. Farwell? He's the one who is responsible for this, isn't he?”

That unequivocally took Roxanne by surprise.

Lucian? Why would he want to do something like that, and how did Larry come to such conclusion?

With that in mind, Roxanne went on to ask, “Why would you say that? What does this have to do with Lucian?”

That yielded a frown from Larry. “You must have sensed that whoever is behind this must be out to get you.”

Roxanne responded with a grunt. “I am aware of that, but... I can't think of any reason why Lucian could be driven to do something like this.”

“I've been asking around. Farwell Group had secretly put out the word to all the major suppliers, warning them that they would be setting themselves up against Farwell Group if they dared to collaborate with you,” a grim-faced Larry replied.

Hearing that brought out a look of astonishment in Roxanne's eyes.

Beside her, Colby's brows also creased up upon hearing that.

Farwell Group was behind this? But since when had they crossed paths with Farwell Group?

If memory serves, Ms. Pearson is openly known as Mr. Farwell's fiancée. Could it be that Ms. Pearson is trying to rid herself of a potential rival?
