Meanwhile, the news naturally didn’t escape Jessica’s attention.
At the sight of Roxanne’s name on the list, a gloomy expression appeared on her face.
That woman is not only working with Jack but also has her name listed so close to the top.
Jessica couldn’t help but recall the distance between Roxanne and Jack’s seats the other night.
What has she done to deserve it?
After staring at Roxanne’s name for a long time, an insidious look flashed across her eyes.
I’ll reveal her true colors for everyone to see since she is nothing more than a pretty face. I have no idea what she
has done to Jack for him to think so highly of her, and I can’t believe how big-headed she has become. When I
finally expose her, she’ll no longer be able to show her face in the local medical industry anymore. When that
happens, Jack will never be able to be together with her regardless of how much he likes that pretty face of hers!

Just imagining how Roxanne was ridiculed by the public was enough to spark a sense of elation within Jessica.
Now that she had figured out her plan, the grim-looking Jessica made a few calls.
In the afternoon, Stephen’s expression drastically darkened at the sight of Jessica’s empty seat.
After all, he had gone all out to obtain an opportunity to seek Lucian’s forgiveness.
Little did he expect that after all that he had done, his plans were foiled by his own daughter.
Regardless of how much effort he put in, it would be all for naught if Jessica refused to apologize.
At that moment, given how late his daughter was to lunch, it was clear that she had no intention of showing any
remorse.
Just as Stephen’s frustration began to set in, the sound of footsteps could be heard from upstairs, followed by
Jessica emerging from the corner of the stairs.
The sight of her elicited a sigh of relief from Stephen. Subsequently, his tone was very much eased when he spoke.
“Have you given the matter I told you some thought?”

His words caused Jessica’s expression to darken momentarily before recovering its usual calm. Smiling obediently,
she replied, “Since that’s what you want, I have no choice even if it’s against my wishes. So, instead of delaying it
any further, can you help me ask Ms. Jarvis if she’s free tonight?”
The relieved Stephen answered, “All right. I’ll check with her.”
From his perspective, apologizing to Roxanne and obtaining her forgiveness as soon as possible was the best
possible outcome.
Only then would Lucian let Hightower Group go.
After lunch, Stephen sent Jack a message to check if he and Roxanne were available that night in front of his
daughter.
When Jack received the message, a sense of dread crept into him.

However, since it was Jessica, he didn’t give it much thought. In the worst-case scenario of her trying to repeat her
tantrum, he would be there to keep the situation under control.
Holding that thought, Jack relayed the message to Roxanne who swiftly agreed to the meeting.
Once he received her confirmation, Jack replied to Stephen immediately and fixed the time and place.
After being told of the appointment, an icy glint flashed across Jessica’s eyes.
“Remember to mind your attitude in the evening.” Worried that his daughter would behave rashly again, the
concerned Stephen reminded, “Ms. Jarvis has powerful patrons. Hence, she’s not someone we can afford to
offend.”
Unfortunately, her father’s words had only served to intensify Jessica’s contempt for Roxanne and fanned the
flames of her desire to ruin the latter’s reputation.
When evening arrived, Jessica headed out early.
Thinking that she was really going to apologize to Roxanne, the naive Stephen watched her get into the car and left.
