After watching Roxanne drive away, Jonathan returned to the mansion.

Frieda, who was drinking coffee on the couch with a scowl on her face, gave him the side-eye before recovering her gaze.

Jonathan’s expression darkened when he caught her reaction. “Why are you behaving this way? What has Dr. Jarvis done to you for you to be so hostile to her? Don’t forget that she is Grandpa’s savior!”

Frieda looked at Jonathan and refuted, “Savior? It’s not like we didn’t offer her anything. We’re just getting what each of us needs out of it.”

Jonathan glared at her. “Stop spewing nonsense. Whatever is going on between Dr. Jarvis and Lucian is between the two of them. We have no right to question her. You better not bring it up again!”

Noticing Jonathan’s anger, Frieda kept her mouth shut despite the indignance she felt inside.Even though Roxanne had no intention of taking Frieda’s words seriously, she couldn’t help being affected by them. Therefore, she still felt disheartened when she returned to the research institute.
