results. What does she mean that I'm trying to extort her?

Even though she was disappointed by Orchid's reaction, Roxanne knew how the latter reacted was

only average and nothing to be surprised about.

“Orchid, please give it some consideration. That's the best option I can think of. I won't back down even

if you ask Mr. Lambert to advise me.”

With that, Roxanne continued drinking her coffee in a relaxed manner.

“Listen here, Roxanne. I'll never agree with the suggestion you gave. Never! If you insist on being

stubborn, then go on. After all, if we follow the procedure strictly, all of you will have to leave the

research institute sooner or later!” Orchid's tone was vicious, hoping her remarks would change

Roxanne's mind.

However, no matter what she said, Roxanne was calm and unbothered. Roxanne's reaction hurt

Orchid's pride significantly, causing her to lose her rationality slowly.

Just then, Lucian called out from outside the door, “Darling, I'm back!”

Orchid seethed with rage, jealous of how a successful businessman like Lucian would treat Roxanne

with so much tenderness.

Lucian walked in, his eyes shifting from the frustrated Orchid to the calm Roxanne, knowing that the

negotiation might have fallen through. He smiled at Roxanne. “I've dealt with everything.”

Roxanne nodded, getting Lucian's hidden message.

Then, she said to Orchid faintly, “Orchid, you are right. If we follow the procedure, the research institute

belongs to GK Group. Okay. I've thought it through. I'll hand the research institute to you after this.”

Orchid thought she was hallucinating. She stared at Roxanne warily, questioning, “What tricks do you

have... up your sleeves?”

“Tricks? You're the master in that. You always plant a whole team in the research institute in the most

surprising way! If Old Mr. Lomax and the rest cooperated with you this time, you would have taken over

those patented formulas!” A smirk appeared on Roxanne's face.

/ have nothing to fear now that Lucian has settled everything for me.

“What's the matter? You tried to convince me to hand over the research institute with multiple reasons

just now. Now that I want to hand it over, you're hesitating?”

Orchid had her doubts. But she nodded her head after a few moments of pondering. “All right! I was

only waiting for you to say yes. Anyways, I don't believe there's any way you could mess with me!

After they settled things with Orchid, Roxanne and Lucian strolled out from the general manager's

office leisurely.

Colby was waiting for them at the research institute's entrance. Facing Roxanne, he reported, “As

instructed by you, I've temporarily transferred the nine patented formulas to a company arranged by Mr.

Farwell. The seal is still with me. Do I need to return it to them?”

Roxanne felt relieved upon hearing Colby's remarks. Using the time difference as an advantage,

Roxanne stalled for time by asking to negotiate with Orchid. That way, Lucian and Colby would have

enough time to transfer the patents.

She knew all too well that she had nothing to discuss or negotiate with the money-minded Orchid

ultimately.

“It's not a big deal to return them the seal and the research institute because we can purchase those

scientific research equipment any time! Colby, please inform Old Mr. Lomax that he should play along

with everything Orchid says and get all the benefits he should get. Then, they can resign individually

and head to work at the research institute owned by Flora Verba Group!”

Colby nodded his head, turning around and walking into the research institute.

A smile crept into Lucian's face when he witnessed how swift and decisive Roxanne was when dealing

with Orchid and GK Group.

I would do the same thing, too, if I were in her shoes.

“Your business skills are getting better and better, Darling!” Lucian caressed Roxanne's head with his

huge hand.

Roxanne smiled happily. “Of course! I've been learning all this while!”
