As Joseph noticed Lucian getting nearer to them, he glanced at his friends who were standing not far away. Joseph steeled himself and stood in front of Lucian. “Do you know this woman?”
Lucian slowly came to a stop as his gaze emotionlessly swept over the man in front of him before returning to Roxanne's face.
The woman in question had cast her gaze downward, and her lips were pursed. She did not seem to want his help at all.
Noticing her reaction, Lucian felt like he was being mocked.
Even at this stage was Roxanne still trying to avoid him.
Since that was her wish, Lucian would grant it.
Upon thinking of that, Lucian looked away. “I don't know her.”
Joseph inwardly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words.
The man on the floor scrambled to get up. He pointed at Lucian's back and exclaimed, “Why did you kick me?” His voice was full of anger.
Lucian only shot him a cold look.
The man on the floor suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. He zipped his mouth sheepishly.
It was after a while that Lucian replied in a cold voice, “You were in my way.”
The man who had been kicked opened his mouth indignantly. However, he did not dare to say much for he knew he was no match for Lucian. Thus, he walked back into the crowd.
Lucian turned to look at Joseph. “Please continue,” he said, although his tone seemed like he was commanding Joseph instead.
As soon as Lucian spoke, both Roxanne and Joseph's expressions changed.
Roxanne never expected Lucian to say something like that. Surprise flashed across her eyes as she clenched her fists, suppressing the urge to look at him.
She refused to believe that Lucian meant what he said.
Joseph, on the other hand, looked at Lucian in doubt. He frowned at the latter.
If Lucian had not appeared, Joseph would definitely have continued.
However, now that there was a domineering man looking from the side, there was no way he would be able to continue his act.
I bet he was lying about not knowing her!
How dare she hit me?
