Female NovelChapter 1636 The Consequences Faced By The Damaris Family Jack was getting out of hand.
Lucian's gaze turned dark as a wave of fury crashed through him.
However, he struggled to contain the anger that bubbled up within him when he thought of Roxanne. He kept his face expressionless as he stared at Jack.
"I believe you're willing to sacrifice these, Mr. Farwell. I'm not that greedy, so I will only ask for one thing," Jack revealed slowly.
Lucian lost his patience and urged, "What do you want? I have no authority to determine the distribution of Roxanne's assets, but you can ask for any subsidiaries that belong to Farwell Group!"
Hearing that, Jack furrowed his brows in displeasure. "If that's the case, I'll have to think about it. Mr. Farwell, you should leave now as I don't think it's possible to give you an answer right now. I need to take some time to consider my options. I'll let you know once I've made up my mind."
"Jack Damaris!" Lucian managed between gritted teeth, fighting back the urge to rip him apart.
The more furious he got, the more pleased Jack became. "Don't worry, Mr. Farwell. I'm the only one who can wake Roxanne. If I'm not willing to wake her up, she'll be a Sleeping Beauty forever."
He gave a cold laugh before adding, "Perhaps you'll be begging me to wake her up with a kiss eventually!"
Right after he spoke, a punch landed on his cheek. The force of the punch was so strong that it caused his head to jerk violently to the side. His cheek turned red and swollen immediately.
"Pft!" Jack spat out a mouthful of blood and wiped away the blood on the corner of his lips. Slowly, he turned back to look at Lucian coldly. "Mr. Farwell, it seems you are planning on giving up on Roxanne." The way he spoke was so matter-of- factly that it was clear Lucian's action had provoked his ire.
Lucian glared at him. "Mind your words! Otherwise, I don't mind killing you now before exhausting Farwell Group's resources to find a way to save Roxanne! I'm certain that Farwell Group will be able to find someone to help her!"
Sensing Lucian's malicious intent, Jack felt a chill go down his spine and gazed at him warily.
Jack knew Lucian wasn't just making an empty threat as he was prepared to kill him anytime!
Sensing that, Jack stopped acting all arrogant. However, he attempted to maintain his dignity by responding reluctantly, "I'll give you my answer by tonight. Is that enough, Mr. Farwell?"
Lucian nodded. "You'd better remember your promise. If I don't receive a response from you by tonight, I won't spare any efforts in takingyou and Damaris Group down!"
With that, he spun on his heels and strode away.
Jack gingerly rubbed his tender and aching cheek, his eyes burning with rage as he watched Lucian walk away.
How dore Lucian talk to me that way when Roxanne's life is in my hands? Also...
Jack cast a dark look at the mansion.
He knew he couldn't let Hector stay anymore as the latter had chosen to side with Lucian, an outsider, instead of himself.
Jack ran his tongue across his bleeding gums. As he did so, an unpleasant, metallic taste filled his mouth, causing him to get increasingly frustrated.
A while later, he headed into the mansion.
Hector took his medicine after the butler helped him into the mansion. It took him a while to regain his composure.
The butler kept comforting him from aside. "Old Mr. Damaris, Mr. Damaris is young and arrogant (so it's normal for him to make a mistake. You can reprimand him, but please don't get overly angry as it can be detrimental to your health."
He sighed inwardly before adding, "No matter what, Mr. Damaris is part of the Damaris family. You should side with him as he won't do anything disadvantageous to the family."
Hector slammed the table in fury. "He went against the Farwell family! If he manages to provoke Lucian, what sort of consequences will the Damaris family face in the future?" novelbin
