Mission To Remarry
Mission To Remarry Chapter 160 Frieda glanced at the supposedly perfect couple before looking at Roxanne, who was sitting in a corner. Satisfied, she found an excuse to get away from the other elders.
âHey! Why are you sitting here all by yourself, Dr. Jarvis?â
Roxanne finally managed to find a quiet corner to regain her composure. However, just as her mind was in a complete mess, she heard the sarcastic question.
When she raised her gaze, she saw Frieda standing in front of her haughtily.
Roxanne knitted her brows and got annoyed when she saw her. Frieda couldnât stop talking about how Lucian and Aubree were meant for each other in front of the elders just now. Obviously, she wanted me to hear all about it.
Never had Roxanne thought that Frieda would look for her, even after she had left the crowd.
Frieda didnât notice how annoyed she was. Instead, she stared at Roxanne mockingly and gestured for her to glance at Lucian and Aubree, who were in the crowd. âDo you see that? Lucian and Aubree are meant to be together, and thatâs what everyone thinks. Who do you think you are? Are you jealous now? Know your place, okay? Youâre not worthy of Lucian. Unlike you, Aubree is!â
Roxanne couldnât help but chuckle coldly when she heard that.
Frieda frowned and asked, âWhatâs so funny?â
Roxanne shrugged nonchalantly in response. âItâs nothing. I just find it weird to see such a dedicated minion!â
Minion? Frieda was stumped. When she came back to her senses, her expression grew vicious. While pointing at Roxanne, she gritted her teeth and asked, âWho are you calling a minion?â
Roxanne stood up and answered calmly, âWho else was I talking to, if not you? Please stop bragging in front of me, Ms. Queen. No matter who Lucian is with or meant to be with, itâs none of my business.
Besides, I donât give a hoot about it. Youâve mentioned them to me so many times, but have you ever seen me flinch once?â
Perhaps it was because Roxanne had stood up, but Frieda could sense that the person before her eyes had become more domineering. Flustered, Frieda opened her mouth, but not a single word came out.
Roxanne smirked and walked up to her. âHence, stop appearing in front of me and talk about things that donât concern me. Do you have any idea how much of an annoyance you are?â
With that, Roxanne walked past her without sparing her another glance.
It took a long while for Frieda to regain her composure. When she did, she was so angry at what Roxanne said to her. She wanted to throw a tantrum, but Roxanne was already out of her sight.
Roxanne fled pretty quickly because she didnât want to hear any more of Friedaâs nonsense. In fact, she didnât even know how she would react if she were to hear them again.
Since Frieda found her at the spot furthest away from the crowd, Roxanne had no choice but to find a new quiet spot to have a seat. This time around, she was a lot nearer to the crowd at the banquet Coincidentally, that spot was just opposite where Lucian was at.
Lucian noticed her presence the moment she appeared in his line of sight. After that, his attention was on her again.
When Roxanne was just about to enjoy the silence, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
âHi, there. Nice to meet you. May I know which prominent family youâre from?â A rich gentleman approached her politely.
Roxanne froze momentarily before putting on a faint smile and answered, âIâm sorry, but Iâm just a doctor. Iâm not from a prominent family.â
The rich gentleman also froze for a second after hearing that. After that, he quickly smiled and uttered, âJudging from your demeanor, I thought youâre from a prominent family. Would I be lucky enough to be your acquaintance? We could be friends.â
