The Abandoned Wife novel Chapter 364

“How did it go? Is Queen Group also going to withdraw from working with us?” Roxanne asked, frowning.

With a grim expression, Colby nodded in acknowledgement.

Usually gentlemanly and well-mannered, it was the first time he had ever worn such a grim expression on his face.

Though Roxanne had no idea what he was told, she thought that it might have been the poor attitude of the person in charge that got Colby so incensed.

“It's not worth getting that worked up over this matter. That being said, this is on me, so let me go figure out how to fix this myself,” she smiled nonchalantly and offered some words of consolation.

Colby, conversely, felt the whole ordeal to be unfair on Roxanne, as well as on the research institute. “How could a big company like Queen Group not honor its promises?”

Roxanne was slightly taken aback.

“Back then, there was not a single doctor who could do anything about Old Mr. Queen's condition, and it was only through your intervention that he was able to recover. Acquisitions at half price was what the Queen family had promised. So how can they just back out of it on a whim like that!” The more Colby thought about it, the more infuriated he became. “I wouldn't have recommended for you to attend to him had I known that they are such ingrates!”

Such petulant utterances from Colby felt so completely out of character for him that Roxanne found them to be rather hilarious.

“I must go and reason with them!” Slamming both hands on the table, Couch stood up from the couch. Then, he strode forth toward the door.

In his esteem, he considered himself to be quite familiar with the members of the Queen family when the Queen Group sought him out to treat Alfred. So he was determined to speak up on Roxanne's behalf, no matter what.

Stunned by his unexpected impulsiveness, Roxanne needed to take a moment. When she came back around, she promptly got up to hold him back. “Let's not act too rashly. Since it's the Farwell Group that's instigating this, getting confrontational with them probably isn't going to help. Just settle yourself down first.”
