Chapter 948 – Her Sudden Departure: A Tale of Love and Redemption (Lucian & Roxanne)

Nevertheless, they still picked up their pace because they were eager to see their parents. Nobody can ever beat Daddy and Mommy when it comes to excellence. Daddy is the leader of the business world, and Farwell Group is currently the biggest company in the country. Furthermore, it’s only going to get stronger in time. Mommy, on the other hand, is an amazing doctor. Not only does she have incredible medical skills, but she also developed lots of new medicines to help patients.

The kids rushed toward Lucian and Roxanne the moment they saw their parents. Lucian and Roxanne then looked at each other with affection in their eyes before squatting down to carry the kids into their arms.

Archie and Benny threw themselves into Lucian’s arms, so Lucian was carrying one boy in each arm. Meanwhile, Estella jumped into Roxanne’s embrace. As Roxanne was lifting Estella up, Estella gave her mother a peck on the cheek.

Upon getting into the car, the kids started sharing the things they learned at the academy with their parents. Estella made friends with a very amiable young girl who had just joined the class and had a passion for design. Although the young girl was two years older than Estella, she was a huge fan of Estella’s Snuggly.

“The girl’s name is Yvonne Jenkins. Apart from design, she’s also good at biology, so she told me a lot about biology. She’s polite and humble, unlike the other girls at the academy. Could I invite her over to our house in the future?” Estella’s eyes were filled with anticipation when she glanced at her parents.

Roxanne immediately nodded and smiled. “Of course! Since she’s a good friend, you ought to offer her your best hospitality. Perhaps you could learn to make a dish or a dessert to welcome her.”

“Sure! Teach me, Mommy! I’ll try my best to learn!” Estella agreed gleefully. Meanwhile, Archie and Benny were talking to Lucian about the lessons they learned in history class. When they were discussing historical events and figures, Lucian took the opportunity to help the kids improve their understanding of the topics in question.

Needless to say, the blissful atmosphere in the car filled Roxanne’s heart with warmth. As soon as they arrived at the manor, the kids’ grandparents quickly went to see them.

Elias was excited to play a game of chess with Archie and Benny, while Sonya was eager to help Estella tailor a dress. Estella had promised Sonya she would tailor a unique dress for Sonya, and Sonya was stoked.

Over at the hospital, Jonathan had made it a habit to fetch Madilyn off work every day. He had brought Madilyn and Lorraine to all the tourist spots around Horington, and they were planning further road trips.

Unfortunately, Madilyn had to return to her post. Madilyn’s recent looks had changed a lot, and she seemed to have become a younger and more lively version of her former self.

Upon packing her belongings, she left her office and bumped into two female doctors coming from the opposite direction. Naturally, she greeted them. “Dr. Xander, I saw Mr. Queen waiting for you downstairs. I envy you so much!”

“You’re so lucky, Dr. Xander. You first treated Mr. Queen’s gastric, and he eventually became your boyfriend! When will I ever experience such good luck?”

Madilyn’s heart raced, and she was blushing when she heard what the doctors said. She then quickly waved dismissively and said, “You guys have gotten it wrong! Mr. Queen and I are just friends.”

Despite saying those words, Madilyn was overjoyed within. “Just admit it, Dr. Xander! Maybe Mr. Queen isn’t an expressive man, so you should take the initiative to confess your feelings! We’re all adults here, so there’s nothing to be ashamed of!”

“That’s right! Everyone can see how much Mr. Queen cares about you. Didn’t he send you a box of peaches a few days ago? It’s not the peach season now, so he must’ve gone through hoops to get those peaches.”

Madilyn was overjoyed when she heard her colleagues teasing her. She then smiled and silently admitted to the wonderful relationship she had had with Jonathan.

To avoid letting Jonathan wait for too long. Madilyn bade the doctors farewell and hurried into the elevator. A thought flashed across Madilyn’s mind when the elevator was descending. They’re right.

Jonathan isn’t an expressive man. Since that’s the case, should I be more initiative? However, as a woman, shouldn’t I be more reserved? No. If I were to make the first move, I would be at a disadvantage in the relationship.

Her thoughts were running wild when the elevator door opened. Nevertheless, that didn’t stop her from dashing toward the parking lot to see Jonathan’s smile.

Once James occupied the position, his first decision was to launch a promotional activity for Flora Verba Group’s fourth-season product by collaborating with Snuggly.

Five hundred thousand units were sold after the launch. To thank its customers, the company gifted anyone who bought its product a Snuggly children’s apparel.

Concurrently, Snuggly launched a similar promotional campaign. Those who spent enough money with the company could choose any Flora Verba Group product as a gift. That cross-promotion caused both companies’ market values to skyrocket.

Then, James initiated his second plan. He starred in an advertisement as the ambassador of the company. As a result, the expected sales far exceeded five hundred thousand units. Flora Verba Group had to announce that they would increase production.

The other brands were terrified by how quickly the company rose to prominence. In the next few days, many accounts on social media deliberately attacked Flora Verba Group and posted videos discrediting its products. Some even started rallying others to boycott Flora Verba Group.

James reacted to that development swiftly. The Public Relations Department immediately cleared up any misunderstandings and worked with the police to investigate those accounts.

They eventually discovered that those accounts’ IP addresses originated from overseas and that it was impossible to determine who was the person behind the scene.

Still, they solved the crisis so wonderfully that it attracted a new wave of fans to the company. In fact, plenty of men even asked Flora Verba Group to develop products suitable for them.

Meanwhile, Roxanne praised James’ marketing strategies inside the living room of the Farwell residence. Lucian, on the other hand, merely nodded approvingly. “These are common business tactics. You’re just overreacting.”

Initially, she didn’t like what he said. However, she quickly recalled Lucian had been one of the wealthiest men for years. Thus, his words carried weight..

She pouted. “Fine. I doubt James will have the nerve to show off in front of you. Still, I’m delighted with his work so far. Flora Verba Group is now valued at seventy billion! I don’t even know how much money that is!” I must admit, Lucian and his pals are all terrifying money-making machines..

“You know, if you set a higher price for your medicine, your hospital and pharmaceutical company will be valued at least ten times higher than Flora Verba Group!” Actually, Lucian didn’t dare to overestimate himself before Roxanne. In terms of commercialization, the hidden values of my wife’s research institute and pharmaceutical company are far more terrifying than anything. After all, any business related to sustaining human life will unquestionably be capable of making as much money as they desire.

“Really? As you know, I didn’t make the medicine to earn more money,” replied Roxanne. Lucian nodded. She’s so excellent.

They chatted until Cayden arrived to report to Lucian about work. When that happened, Roxanne left the living room and entered the study to delve into new medicinal research.

“I’ve been tracking Christina’s whereabouts, Mr. Farwell. I think I’ve finally found her. She’s currently in Hawen. However, she may accompany Mr. Goldstein to an event in Chanaea in a week!” Cayden lowered his voice as he observed Lucian’s reaction carefully. Immediately, Lucian frowned.

“How dare she openly returns here! It seems like she did find someone to back her up. I certainly didn’t expect this Mr. Goldstein to be so accepting of her,” he muttered to himself. How should I deliver Christina the ending she deserves as swiftly as possible? If I don’t, she’ll continue to pose a threat to my family.

In the dark of night, Jonathan’s car stopped outside Madilyn’s mansion. Rapidly, he left the car and opened the door for her. However, Madilyn disliked that. “You don’t need to treat me so politely, Jonathan. I have hands, you know? I can open the door myself.”

Even though he was acting gentlemanly, it made her feel as though the distance between them had been expanded. Jonathan smiled. “It’s a habit. Ever since I was a child, my parents reminded me to mind my manners and etiquette. Since you don’t like it, I won’t do it again.”

“Okay!” A faint grin settled on Madilyn’s countenance. “Tonight’s movie was incredible! Thanks for the recommendation. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known I love science fiction films!”
