Chapter 701

Chapter 701 Her Relationship With Lucian “I think I have Dr. Jarvis’ contact too. If you can’t do it, I can,” Hector said faintly. Jack looked utterly helpless when he heard those words because he knew Hector was threatening him. Rather than letting Roxanne and Jessica meet each other without my presence, I might as well just be there to keep Jessica in check.

In the end, Jack agreed to it. “All right. I’ll try to contact Ms. Jarvis. But I can’t promise she’ll agree to it.”

With a wide smile on his face, Stephen said, “Thank you. Let me know when she gets back to you.”

Jack nodded indifferently in response. Stephen chatted with Hector for a little while and asked about the Damaris family’s recent situation before standing up to excuse himself.

The moment Stephen left the Demaris residence, a dejected look replaced the smile on his face. That night, Jessica was hammered when a few men brought her home. Stephen was in utter shock when he saw that and thought his daughter had been taken advantage of.

To his surprise, those men told him they were the Farwell family’s men and that Lucian had ordered them to send her back. Right away, Stephen knew his daughter had crossed someone she couldn’t afford to mess with.

Sure enough, the Hightower family’s business partners called to cancel their contracts the next few days. They also couldn’t find people to work with for their latest projects.

Seeing that the company was facing financial difficulties, Stephen had no choice but to contact Lucian.

He apologized to Lucian, but he was told that there was someone else he had to apologize to.

Puzzled, Stephen went home and interrogated Jessica. That was when he found out about the person he owed an apology.

Yet, he couldn’t just look for the person right away, so he thought about asking Jack to act as the middleman.

He deliberately mentioned his dead father to sell Hector a sad story so that he could gain Hector’s support.

In the end, it worked, and he managed to set a meeting with Roxanne.

What’s her relationship with Lucian? Why is Lucian willing to do so much for her?

Meanwhile, upon finishing his work, Lucian thought about the three children at Roxanne’s house. She has to go home to make lunch for the kids, right?

At that thought, Lucian drove to Roxanne’s house.

In the mansion, the children had just finished a whole bucket of fried chicken.

Upon hearing the doorbell, the children thought Roxanne had returned, so they opened the door without checking the intercom.

When they saw the person standing before them, they were taken aback.

“Daddy!” Estella was the first to react. She ran toward Lucian and was about to reach out to hug his leg when he noticed how oily her hands were. Upon taking a closer look, he realized she was wearing a pair of disposable gloves that was covered in grease.

She instinctively grabbed her wrists and moved away from her.

That was the first time Estella had gotten rejected by Lucian. She widened her eyes in confusion.

Lucian furrowed his brows and sized up the children. The corners of their lips are oily. What did they eat?
