Chapter 366
Mission To Remarry
Chapter 366 What Went Wrong Roxanne chuckled without saying anything. Looking up at Jonathan standing opposite her, she said with a smile, âThe reason for my visit this time is also because thereâs something I need Mr. Queenâs help with.â
Jonathan agreed readily. âHow can I be of help, Dr. Jarvis?â
Just as she was about to respond, Alfred waved his large hand dismissively. âDonât talk about it here.
Lunch should be ready by now. Why donât you have lunch with us, Dr. Jarvis? The two of you can talk while you eat.â
A torn expression flashed across Roxanneâs face upon hearing that.
Instead of saying that my visit here is to seek Jonathanâs help, itâd be more accurate to say Iâm here to confront him. But with Old Mr. Queen welcoming her so warmly, I donât know if Iâll be able to bring myself to question Jonathan!
âDr. Jarvis, you have made a trip all the way here, so stay and join us for a meal,â Jonathan chimed in too.
With that, he helped Alfred into the mansion.
Roxanne had no choice but to follow them, abandoning the speech she had prepared in her head earlier.
While sitting around the dining table, she was wondering how to bring up the matter when Alfred asked, âDr. Jarvis, didnât you say you needed Jonathanâs help with something? What is it?â
Jonathan also turned to look at her.
She hesitated briefly, then took a list of medicinal herbs from her bag and handed it to Jonathan. âIâm not sure whether Queen Group still has these in stock. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the supplier I work with canât supply them to me at the moment. Since I need them urgently, I had no choice but to come and ask for Mr. Queenâs help.â
Jonathan took the list and furrowed his brows slightly after glancing through it. âThese are not very common medicinal herbs. I recall we have some in the warehouse, but I donât know whether theyâll be enough.â
Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief at those words.
She was unsure whether it was because Alfred was right next to him, but Jonathan clearly appeared willing to help. Well, it looks as though this will solve the urgent shortage at the research institute.
âI donât need too much. Iâll also find a way to contact other suppliers. After all, I didnât place an order in advance, so the fact that you can supply me with some is already a pleasant surprise.â
Jonathan nodded slightly. âYouâre more than welcome to make Queen Group your first choice whenever you have the medicinal herbs you need urgently in the future. Since you cured my grandfather, weâll even give you top priority when allocating our supplies.â
Roxanne promptly agreed.
âHowever, Iâm not the person directly handling these matters. You can just contact Rex Tanner. Heâll make the arrangements,â Jonathan added.
A troubled expression crossed Roxanneâs face when she heard that.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Jonathan asked in confusion, âWhatâs the matter? Is there a problem?â
She hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, âTo be honest, I contacted Mr. Tanner before coming here. However, he made it sound as though⦠itâd be quite difficult. I thought that was your directive, which is why I came here personally.â
But from the looks of it, he doesnât seem to know anything about the incident at all.
Jonathanâs brows knitted together tightly, and even Alfred looked a little grim.
Jonathan had always instructed his subordinates to give precedence to Roxanneâs research institute when it came to supplying the medicinal herbs.
However, she ended up getting turned down by those in Queen Group.
Hmm⦠What went wrong?
Returning to his senses, Jonathan turned to Roxanne with a grave expression. âThatâs definitely not a directive from me. The Queen family has a long legacy, and weâre certainly capable of maintaining the basic courtesy of keeping our word.
Now that something like this has happened, there mustâve been a misunderstanding somewhere along the line. Iâm not entirely sure what happened, but rest assured that Iâll get to the bottom of it as soon as possible and give us a proper explanation.â
