Chapter 2035 You Are Too Kind Meanwhile, as Cayden began to accelerate the car speed, Roxanne told him to slow down, as she was not in a hurry.

Lucian, seated beside Roxanne, looked away from his phone and spoke nonchalantly. “Orchid seems to have a habit of choosing the perfect time to make her moves. Last time, when your research institute in Epea was doing well, she swooped in as the new management and took all the credit for its success.”

A corner of her lips quirked up. She responded with a wry smile and responded, “Yeah. The same old trick.”

“Why don’t you fight back?” Lucian wondered.

Roxanne’s eyes darkened as she replied, “I wouldn’t have been able to build a team to achieve my goals without her help. She leveraged all her connections in Dartan and brought in significant investments, which gave me a chance to realize my dream! Furthermore, she has helped me during difficult times. There was a time when I had limited income after giving birth to Archie and Benny. It was she who provided me with financial assistance.”

That was why Roxanne did not intend to fight back.

Anyway, Roxanne always managed to produce high-quality medicines and sell them at low prices before the takeover, ensuring that many patients could benefit from them.

This time, she simply did not anticipate Orchid’s swift action. She did not expect Orchid would come in and seize the management rights in just a year.

Though Harvey was the key figure of GK Group, Orchid wielded significant power over investments and financial decisions within the company.

After listening to her story, Lucian shook his head. “You’re still too kind. In any case, you established the team and led them to achieve new heights, so you deserve a fair share for your contributions.

Orchid is just treating you as a moneymaking tool. She’s aware of your ability, yet she doesn’t give you the compensation you deserve. That’s just too much!”

Roxanne nodded. She agreed with what her husband said.

However, as long as GK Group still carried her mentor’s name, she could not betray him.

After arriving at the research institute, Lucian carefully helped her out of the car before walking together to the lobby.

They heard a commotion and turned toward the source of the noise. It was then they saw hundredsof employees of the research institute gathering in front of the building, blocking Orchid and her team.

Orchid’s subordinates all had complicated expressions on their faces. While some looked panicked, some looked indifferent.

Of all the expressions, Orchid’s was the grimmest. There was even an icy glint in her eyes.

“Ms. Jarvis is here!” someone exclaimed.

Colby and Peregrine rushed over and walked up to Lucian and Roxanne.

Before Colby could open his mouth, Peregrine, visibly agitated, interjected, “Roxanne, we can’t just hand over the research institute to them so easily. It’s our blood, sweat, and tears! We don’t care about whatever GK Group is. We just want you to lead us!”

More and more employees gathered around Roxanne.

Upon noticing the frustration on their faces, Roxanne waved her hands to calm them down. “Calm down, Old Mr. Lomax. I didn’t receive any news about this operation from the headquarters either. But this time, I’ll try to work things out with Orchid!”

While they were in the car earlier, Lucian encouraged Roxanne to stand up for herself and claimed her rightful benefits.

As more people gathered around her in support, she grew even more determined.

However, just as Roxanne finished speaking, Orchid strode over, stood before her, and gave her an icy glare.
