Chapter 1906 Mid-Twenties
James was having fun with the children when Roxanne and Lucian woke up.
Estella was incredibly close to him. After all, James had been gentle and patient when he tried to help her with her
illness back then.
Hence, she was able to open up to James easily.
Archie and Benny were easily approachable. The way they addressed James as “Mr. Lann” was sweet and cute.
Unbeknown to them, they were being targeted as research objects by James.
Seeing the three children's accomplishments, James could not help but admit that they were indeed geniuses.
He knew Lucian for many years but never thought the latter was much of a genius. However, those three children
were much more talented than Lucian. Naturally, Roxanne's genes were indeed excellent.
Estella showed James the clothes she had designed, shocking him when she showed him Snuggly's market shares
and sales records.

now there's Essie's Snuggly. Are you planning on taking over every industry?”
Lucian dragged James away to enjoy some coffee and chat casually, preparing to discreetly talk about business
before suggesting that James take over as the CEO of Flora Verba Group.
“Many things have happened over the past few months. I'm sure you've heard about them, right?” Lucian asked.
James nodded. He had indeed heard of what happened.
He knew everything from Aubree's craziness to Jack's poisoning incident to Elektra's recent mess-up.
Although he was not in Horington, his family or Jonathan would notify him about the incidents happening in the city.
Among all those incidents, the one he least expected was Elektra's decision to turn herself in.
However, it was not that unexpected if he gave it some thought. He knew that Elektra had feelings for Lucian.
“Forget it. I'm still not suited to go about things in roundabout manner. In short, don't leave this time. Do you think
you'd want to be the CEO of Flora Verba Group? You can help take charge of the company temporarily.”
Lucian's gaze fell onto James' face as he carefully observed any reactions the latter would have.
James was taken aback when he heard Lucian's question.
He did not expect Lucian to offer such a vital position in the company to a psychologist like him.
He smiled and replied, “Lucian, are you planning on dragging me back into the business world? Are you letting me
use Flora Verba Group to practice my skills?”
It was evident that James did not know the latest valuation of Flora Verba Group. The last time he heard about it,
Flora Verba Group was worth over ten billion. Compared to the businesses worth two to three hundred billion under
the Lann family, Flora Verba Group was just a tiny company that could be used for training.
“I doubt you can consider this as training. After all, the market value of Flora Verba Group has increased to sixty
billion. Plus, the products are trending one after the other.” Lucian smiled wickedly.
“Come on. You can't be serious. Did it increase that fast? It's... only been two months.” James was taken aback as
he fell into deep thought.
Lucian did not press for an answer either as he waited in silence.
Roxanne noticed the tense atmosphere when she made her way over. She guessed that they might have gone

“Lucian, I've been worried about something lately. I noticed that I was improving at using Cerulean Needle
Technique, but I've yet to find someone suitable to pass on my medical knowledge and the ancient medicine books I
acquired. What should I do?”
Roxanne regretted her words the moment they left her mouth. She felt the act she and Lucian were putting on was
absurd.
However, it unexpectedly had a wonderful outcome.
James' eyes lit up when he heard what Roxanne said. His hesitance soon turned into determination.
“Roxanne, are you looking for someone to learn medical skills from you? Are you going to teach them personally?”
he asked eagerly.
“Yes. My mentor said it was time for me to start looking for disciples. He also said that I should look for someone
with the right qualifications and start training them from a young age to pass down my skills to them.”
Roxanne was telling the truth. She had already been exposed to the world of medicine many years ago.
“Roxanne, um... Will someone in their mid-twenties do?” James asked.
