    Chapter 363 Obviously Blowing Him Off


    Remembering theirst meeting at the coffee shop, Sonya’s message was obvious. There would be


    consequences if she were to make any further contact with Lucian.


    I hadn’t actually met up with that man since that time.


    Roxanne had, in actuality, went as far as to make ns to relocate overseas with her children once her


    business in Chanaea was concluded.


    Hence, the timing of Sonya’s decision to strike at her now benefitted no one, not even Sonya herself.


    Roxanne’s head was throbbing hard. Somewhat vexed, she pulled out her handphone with the intention


    of calling Sonya up to question thetter.


    After dialing her number several times, she received as many automated responses, making it apparent


    that she had been cklisted.


    A dejected Roxanne switched off her phone and went over to Colby at the side. “I’m sorry that the


    research institute has been affected because of my personal matters.”


    Having heard her phone conversation with Larry and the change in her demeanor afterward, Colby more


    or less got a clue as to what was going on. Thus, he merely smiled genially. “Well, it has already


    happened, so I think we should just focus on trying toe up with solutions”


    Roxanne nodded in agreement.

    Then, the two unanimously thought about the Queen family.


    Previously, as repayment for Roxanne’s help in curing Alfred, the Queen family had promised to provide


    the research institute with medicinal herb supplies.


    Once the Queen family were amendable, the other suppliers likewise followed suit, backtracking on what


    they said before and started approaching her to seek coboration with them.


    The research institute had been working with a number of suppliers simultaneously. Knowing well that


    those people were under duress from the Pearson family and had no choice but toply, she held no ill


    feelings toward them.


    Coincidentally, we did not source supplies from the Queen family in ourtest round of acquisitions. I


    wonder if they could have any surpluses to spare.


    The very thought of that filled Roxanne with a renewed sense of optimism. “Check with Queen Group to


    see if they have the medicinal ingredients we need. As we did not ce an order earlier, I don’t know


    whether there would be enough time for us to do so,” Roxanne said.


    Colby concurred, “My exact sentiments.”


    Following that, he pulled out his phone to ring up the person-in-charge over at Queen Group.


    The duo invariably started to worry when their call did not connect for a while.


    Roxanne nheless held on to a sliver of hope inside.


    Queen Group was a leader in the medical industry, and considering the good rtions Queen Group


    enjoyed with Farwell Group, she was not convinced that Farwell Group would go as far as to threaten


    Queen Group as well. More than that, she refused to believe Jonathan to be the sort who would go back


    on his word.


    That phone call, though, left her in a state of disquiet.


    An indeterminate amount of time passed before someone picked up from the other end.


    With his heart weighing heavily on him, Colby did his best topose himself and greet the answerer


    cheerfully, “ Hello, Mr. Tanner…”


    Before he could finish what he wanted to say, his counterpart gleefully cut him off, “Oh, Dr. Galloway.


    We’re in the middle of a meeting here, so we’ll probably have to chat some other day. Got to go now!”


    With that, he hung up without giving Colby any time to react.


    Hearing the frenzy of activitying from the other end, Colby’s expression grew solemn.


    Owing to Roxanne’s sessful treatment of Alfred, their research institute had been held in considerable


    esteem all the time. Not once had they needed to deal with a situation like the one they were facing at


    the moment.


    That person-in-charge was clearly blowing him off.


    By refusing to offer us supplies, they must likewise be acting in ordance with Farwell Group’s wishes.


    Even without hearing what was conveyed over the other end of the phone, it was apparent to Roxanne


    that Colby had barely said anything. He certainly had not the time to bring up the issue concerning the


    supplies before his counterpart hung up on him.


    Colby’s expression was even more awful after he put down the phone, the sight left Roxanne


    disheartened as well.
