The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 363

Remembering their last meeting at the coffee shop, Sonya's message was obvious. There would be consequences if she were to make any further contact with Lucian.

I hadn't actually met up with that man since that time.

Roxanne had, in actuality, went as far as to make plans to relocate overseas with her children once her business in Chanaea was concluded.

Hence, the timing of Sonya's decision to strike at her now benefitted no one, not even Sonya herself.

Roxanne's head was throbbing hard. Somewhat vexed, she pulled out her handphone with the intention of calling Sonya up to question the latter.

After dialing her number several times, she received as many automated responses, making it apparent that she had been blacklisted.

A dejected Roxanne switched off her phone and went over to Colby at the side. “I'm sorry that the research institute has been affected because of my personal matters.”

Having heard her phone conversation with Larry and the change in her demeanor afterward, Colby more or less got a clue as to what was going on. Thus, he merely smiled genially. “Well, it has already happened, so I think we should just focus on trying to come up with solutions”

Roxanne nodded in agreement.

Then, the two unanimously thought about the Queen family.

Previously, as repayment for Roxanne's help in curing Alfred, the Queen family had promised to provide the research institute with medicinal herb supplies.

Once the Queen family were amendable, the other suppliers likewise followed suit, backtracking on what they said before and started approaching her to seek collaboration with them.

The research institute had been working with a number of suppliers simultaneously. Knowing well that those people were under duress from the Pearson family and had no choice but to comply, she held no ill feelings toward them.

Coincidentally, we did not source supplies from the Queen family in our latest round of acquisitions. I wonder if they could have any surpluses to spare.

The very thought of that filled Roxanne with a renewed sense of optimism. “Check with Queen Group to see if they have the medicinal ingredients we need. As we did not place an order earlier, I don't know whether there would be enough time for us to do so,” Roxanne said.
