Chapter 1263
Cayden had always been highly efficient at work. Besides, he only had to investigate the research
institute’s recent purchase orders.
That evening itself, he entered Farwell Group’s CEO’s office with thetest purchase order in hand.
“I’ve done as you asked, Mr. Farwell. Here, have a look.”
Taking the order from Cayden, Lucian looked it over while listening to his report.
“A bottle of medicine on this order doesn’t match the actual quantity purchased by the research
institute. From my investigations, Colby was the one who privately arranged for the purchasing staff to
buy it. He ced it with one of the other medicines and sneaked it into the research institute.”
At that point, a conflicted expression showed on Cayden’s face as he admitted, “However, I couldn’t
find out what medicine he smuggled in. He hid it so well that even the purchasing staff doesn’t know
the answer.”
In a sh, Lucian’s gaze darkened a shade.
Although we don’t know the kind of medicine Colby privately bought, it’s a fact that his behavior is
suspicious enough. Furthermore, he appeared to be exceedingly apprehensive when I noticed
something amiss with that bottle of medicine. He might think that he’s hiding it very well, but still, I saw
right through him.
Following that thought, he frowned slightly.
With all these leads, it’s a veritable fact that Colby was the culprit. Indeed, I’ve misunderstood Jack. But
then, how can his suspicious activities be exined?
A long while passed before he corralled his thoughts.
Anyway, the most important thing now is to have Colby pay the price for his actions!
“Got it. You may be dismissed.”
Putting the purchase order away, Lucian got to his feet and headed out.
He had figured out a way to have Colby confess to his crime even without solid evidence.
However, he needed to seek Roxanne out and discuss it with her.
Cayden had no idea what his employer wanted to do, but still, he obediently left the office and watched
as Lucian went into the elevator.
After stepping out of the office building, Lucian drove straight to Roxanne’s house.
It happened to be dinnertime right then.
When Lucian arrived, Roxanne was preparing dinner for Archie, Benny, and Este in the kitchen. As
such, it was the children who opened the door for him.
“Mr. Farwell!”
“Daddy!”

At the sight of him, all three children wore expressions of joy.
Smiling, Lucian stroked their heads before sweeping his gaze around the living room. “Where’s your
mommy?”
Archie pointed in the direction of the kitchen. “In the kitchen.”
Upon hearing that, Lucian inclined his head a fraction in acknowledgment. He excused himself before
heading to the kitchen.
The three children looked at each other, but ultimately, they didn’t follow. Nheless, they still fixated
their gazes on the kitchen in curiosity.
When Lucian reached the kitchen door, he didn’t go in directly or say anything. Instead, he merely
stood there quietly and watched Roxanne bustle around.
As soon as Roxanne whirled around and spotted the man behind her, she inexorably jumped in fright.
“When did youe? And why didn’t you inform me beforehand?”
Gathering her wits about her, she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and continued her work at hand.
Lucian’s eyes brimmed with tenderness. “Just a while ago. The kids opened the door for me.”
After saying that, he nced at the ingredients she was preparing. “Did you count me in?”
Roxanne wanted to deny it, but the portion she prepared was evidently too much for her and the
children to finish. Thus, she didn’t answer but asked, “Are you not eating here tonight?”
At that, Lucian arched a brow. “From the look of things, you counted me in. How embarrassing that I’ve
been eating for free these few days!”
Sensing that there was a hidden implication in his words, Roxanne stilled. She spun around and eyed
him in puzzlement.
“Therefore, I brought you good news today. We’ll talk about it after dinnerter.”
Lucian met her gaze calmly.
