Chapter 700 Voluntarily Apologizing
Roxanne snapped out of it and typed out a reply: Thank you, but it’s what I
should have done. We will be working together in the future, so you shouldn’t be
so courteous every time.
Jack smiled guardedly and replied: Indeed, it won’t happen again. A rustling
sound came from upstairs as soon as he sent the text.
He pocketed the phone, and his gaze shot up to see a middle-aged man guiding
Hector down the stairs in slow, measured steps, both of them engrossed in a
conversation.
The man’s presence made Jack frown, but he was a product of his upbringing,
so he greeted politely, “Grandpa, Mr. Hightower.” That man was Stephen
Hightower, Jessica’s father.
One could only imagine why he would want Grandpa to summon me back
home. The only possibility is to plead in favor of Jessica after the mess she
made.
Irritation surged in him when he remembered that night’s events. Hector and
Stephen turned to look in his direction when he spoke. “You’re home so soon?”
Hector glanced at him with a smile, clearly enjoying his conversation with
Stephen.
A frown drew Jack’s brows together, and he nodded at Hector. “Why did you call
me back?”
Hector glanced at Stephen. “I hope we didn’t interrupt you by summoning you
back abruptly.” Stephen’s words of concern conveyed his apology. With Hector
present, Jack decided not to escalate the situation and only replied flatly, “No.”
Stephen heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. I had your grandpa call you home
after Jessica told me things between both of you are tense. I’d like to apologize
on her behalf.”
“You and Jessica grew up together. What could possibly put a strain on your
relationship? Both of you can talk it out, whatever it is,” Hector advised.
Now that Hector had spoken up, Jack could only say, “She was drunk that night.
Tell her it doesn’t matter and that she shouldn’t take it personally.”
Then, he arched his brow as he thought of something.
Wait. Jessica should be apologizing to someone else. The commotion she
caused that night was nothing but a mere annoyance to me, but Roxanne
suffered the most. She should be apologizing to the right person.
Stephen seemed to read his thoughts and continued, “Jessica mentioned that
there was another lady involved, and she said she hopes to meet the lady to
formally apologize.”
Jack’s eyes mirrored doubt as he wondered when did Jessica become so
mature.
“You should know the lady if both of you were together that night. Why don’t you
make arrangements so that Jessica could apologize to that lady?” Stephen
proposed.
Jack’s doubt amplified when he heard that.
As far as I know, Jessica is domineering and will never admit to her fault when
she makes a mistake. Why will she voluntarily apologize, especially to Roxanne,
whom she detests?
Hector’s voice rang out again when he was about to probe the reason. “You
should do Mr. Hightower a favor since he asked. I’m guessing that the other
lady is Dr. Jarvis. Although we had only met once, I know she isn’t someone
who will harbor grudges.”
Jack frowned. “It’s not that simple, Grandpa.”
