Chapter 1612: More Capable Than Aubree

Roxanne was stunned by the scene. Lucian immediately shielded her, his gaze expressionless as he faced the reporters.

“Mr. Farwell, what is the status of your relationship with Ms. Jarvis? Are you two planning to remarry?”

“Dr. Jarvis, why did you leave Mr. Farwell?”

Questions bombarded Roxanne. She frowned, unhappy with the personal nature of the inquiries. The press conference focused on their collaboration, yet the reporters relentlessly pursued details of their personal lives.

Seemingly anticipating her discomfort, Lucian said coldly, “We will only discuss work matters today. There will be a Q&A session later; I will not answer any personal questions now.” He then led Roxanne forward.

Jonathan arrived, and the two men escorted Roxanne, keeping her between them, to the table. They took their seats as the lights flashed. The press conference was also livestreamed.

When netizens saw Roxanne with Lucian, the chat room exploded.

One netizen wrote: “Dr. Jarvis is a beauty! She’s my waifu, and Mr. Farwell’s my husbando!”

Another replied: “Keep dreaming! Mr. Farwell and Dr. Jarvis are the ultimate couple! They’re even wearing matching outfits! What an amazing love story!”

Another commented: “Dr. Jarvis is as attractive and capable as Mr. Farwell. Who wouldn't love a power couple like them?”

The comments were overwhelmingly positive towards Roxanne. Their praise intensified as Roxanne and Lucian signed the contract.

Meanwhile, Sonya, having learned from Elias about Farwell Group’s collaboration with Roxanne’s institute (though she claimed disinterest), watched the live broadcast. Seeing Lucian and Roxanne in matching outfits, her expression darkened.

“Is he working or what? Does he even care about this collaboration?”

Elias glanced at the broadcast and agreed. “They’re not wrong. Roxanne is indeed much more capable than Aubree.”

Sonya glared. “Roxanne must have made Lucian wear that! She must have pressured him into the collaboration!”

How else could her small institute work with Farwell Group?

Elias disagreed. “Even if you don’t believe Roxanne, trust Lucian. He doesn’t prioritize his emotions over his intellect. The clothes… I believe Lucian suggested the matching outfits.”

Elias, experienced in the corporate world, noticed Roxanne’s subtle unease; her occasional awkward glances at her clothes revealed her discomfort.

He smiled and shook his head. He acknowledged his son's questionable fashion choice.

Uncomfortable with Elias’ support of Roxanne and the overwhelmingly positive online response, Sonya changed the subject.

“Stop watching. Elektra and her family will arrive soon. Let’s tidy up. It’s been years since we last saw them. I wonder how Elektra’s doing.”

The Lane family, friends of the Farwells and leaders in the luxury goods industry, had relocated to Epea years ago. Elektra Lane, their only daughter, was Lucian's childhood friend and two years his senior.
