“Still, what are you going to do now that you've learned about this?” Jonathan hesitantly asked as he curiously stared at Lucian.
Jonathan was certain that his friend was interested in Roxanne.
However, whether or not Lucian was going to stand up against Sonya for Roxanne was something Jonathan was unsure about.
Lucian frowned as frustration washed over him. A beat later, he finally uttered, “I'll think of a way to deal with Farwell Group. Will you be able to assist with Roxanne's side?”
Jonathan was baffled to hear that.
Think of a way? What does that even mean? Is he going to go up against Mrs. Farwell or not?
When Lucian heard no response from Jonathan, he added, “It's fine if it's inconvenient for you. I'll think of a way myself. For now, I can't go up against my mother in public.”
With the kind of person his mother was, the more he went up against her for Roxanne, the more irked his mother would be with Roxanne, and the more she would target Roxanne.
Furthermore, regardless of everything, she was his mother.
Lucian had to be more or less considerate of her status.
Jonathan belatedly came back to his senses at that. After a moment of rumination, he voiced, “I'll definitely help out. Currently, only Queen Group is working with Dr. Jarvis' research institute. Although I can make sure that they get the herbs they need for now, I won't be able to do this long-term. Dr. Jarvis will need to work with more herb suppliers, and with Queen Group's influence in Horington, it won't be too difficult for me to convince several herb suppliers to do so. However...” He trailed off, giving Lucian a long look.
Seeing that, Lucian knitted his brows even more. “What's the matter?”
“Things will go far smoother if you back me up,” Jonathan responded as he arched a brow. “I'll just be looking for a few better herb suppliers. No one will say a word to Mrs. Farwell.”
