After hanging up the phone, Jonathan immediately called Roxanne.

Roxanne answered quickly, asking, "Mr. Queen, have the medicinal herb suppliers arranged a meeting?"

Jonathan smiled. "Yes. They're hoping to meet in two days to discuss details. However, it depends on your availability."

The research institute's biggest problem was its medicinal herb supply. Roxanne, naturally prioritizing the meeting, readily agreed. "I'll be free. Please let them know I'll be on time."

"You don't need to prepare anything. Someone will be there to meet you," Jonathan replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Queen. Thank you for your help," Roxanne said.

Jonathan smiled. "No worries. You did a lot to help my grandfather." He felt obligated to help, considering Roxanne's relationship with Lucian. He also tried to assist Lucian, mentioning him in the conversation. "Besides, Lucian already called, urging me to expedite things. So, I felt it was only right to put in extra effort!"

Roxanne fell silent, recalling the previous night. According to Jonathan, Lucian seemed still worried about the research institute. Didn't I make myself clear last night? Besides, I already told him Sonya is behind it. What is he up to now?

Receiving no response, Jonathan realized his efforts were futile. He cleared his throat. "Since I've done my part, I'll await your good news in two days." Roxanne smiled faintly. "If all goes well, I'll visit and thank you again."

They ended the call after pleasantries.

Jonathan was puzzled by Roxanne's reaction to his mention of Lucian. I planned everything last night! I gave them the perfect opportunity to be alone. Why is Roxanne's attitude toward Lucian still the same? What happened between them after I left? Now, the only remaining issue for the research institute was the supply of medicinal ingredients. Roxanne felt relieved after hearing Jonathan's words.

After the call, Jonathan texted Roxanne the medicinal herb suppliers' details in Summerbank.

Roxanne enlisted Colby's help to review the details, developing a business proposal. All that remained was the meeting in Summerbank.

That evening, Roxanne seemed considerably more relaxed than she had two days prior.

Archie and Benny, noticing this, grew anxious.

During dinner, Benny listlessly poked at his food. "Mommy, are you almost finished with the research institute matters?"

Roxanne nodded. "I'm going to Summerbank in two days. If all goes well, the problem will be solved."

This meant they could leave the country soon.

Archie and Benny's faces fell. "Must we leave the country?" Roxanne silently acquiesced.

She knew they were reluctant to leave Estella, and she felt the same. However, recalling Lucian's imposing demeanor from the previous night, she felt uneasy. If we stay, who knows what will happen?
