Chapter 416
Realizing that Lucian had stopped Joseph in the end, Roxanne somehow felt relieved, and she calmed down.
When she recalled how cold and indifferent Lucian was a second ago and how angry he looked right now, Roxanne found it ironic. Maybe, unintentionally, Roxanne’s current state would change according to what he wanted.
She was nothing but a toy for him to play around with.
Upon thinking of that, Roxanne smiled to herself in her mind and curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile. She decided to no longer care about the chaos happening in front of her and made a move to leave.
However, just as she turned around, a large hand reached out to grab her wrist.
Roxanne did not need to turn her head to know who stopped her.
She glanced at her wrist that was in his grip and said, “Have you had your fun, Mr. Farwell? If you have, please let go of me.”
The moment she spoke those words, the expressions of the crowd instantly changed.
All of them had only heard of Lucian and occasionally saw him on television.
That was the reason why they found Lucian familiar when they first saw him.
However, it did not cross their minds that he was actually Lucian Farwell.
As a result, they had offended someone who was connected to Lucian.
Once that thought crossed their minds, panicked expressions could be seen on all of their faces.
Joseph’s wrist was still in Lucian’s grip. He was experiencing firsthand how oppressive Lucian’s domineering aura was. His back was thoroughly drenched in sweat.
If he had known that Roxanne was with Lucian, he would never have even glanced at her.
“Mr. Farwell, th-this is just a m-misunderstanding,” Joseph stammered, trying to defend himself.
However, Lucian did not even spare him a glance. He was staring fixedly at Roxanne’s back.
Is she trying to escape to look for Morrison again?
Roxanne frowned when she realized that Lucian was not going to let go of her. She turned around to look at the latter with mockery in her eyes. “Aren’t you done, Mr. Farwell? Are you still waiting for me to continue with this show?”
Upon speaking, she looked at Joseph, who was still being restrained by Lucian, in disdain.
Her words meant that she would be willing to go along with Joseph if Lucian wanted the show to continue.
When Joseph met her gaze, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. “This is a huge misunderstanding, Ms. Jarvis. I only wanted to be friends with you. I really didn’t have any other motives. You are with Mr. Farwell, after all. I don’t have the guts to—”
Roxanne cut him off by nodding. “You’re right. You only want to be my friend for the night, Mr. Cadman. If Mr. Farwell wants to see that, I can only obey his request.”
The atmosphere around them instantly became tense at her words.
Lucian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the woman in front of him.
Joseph also noticed the murderous intent in the aura surrounding them. He shivered uncontrollably.
“The Cadman family of Summerbank?” Lucian’s cold voice rang next to his ears.
Joseph nodded instinctively. However, he quickly understood the reason behind Lucian’s question and promptly shook his head.
With narrowed eyes, Lucian let go of Joseph’s wrist with a stoic expression. “Get lost.”
When Joseph thought of the possible retaliation that the Cadman family might face after the incident, his face filled with terror. He tried to explain himself, “Mr. Farwell, I really did not do it on purpose. I didn’t know she was your woman. Besides, as you saw for yourself, I didn’t do anything to her…”
The more Joseph tried to explain, the angrier Lucian got. His eyes darkened terrifyingly.
When Joseph noticed Lucian’s gaze, he instantly shut up. After remaining at the same spot for a few seconds, he turned around and ordered everyone to leave, feeling dejected.
It seemed that the Cadman family would soon fall from grace.
