Slowly getting to his feet, Lucian pinned a dark look on Roxanne, who stood at the door.

“I really don’t know when you learned to use your kids to set me up, Ms. Jarvis.”

“Why are you drawing away if you’re not feeling guilty, Ms. Jarvis?” Lucian sneered.

Upon hearing that, Roxanne hesitantly stopped retreating, her brows furrowing imperceptibly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
