Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719 Shut Up

After hanging up the phone, Jack texted Stephen directly, saying that Roxanne had agreed to a meeting. Without waiting for a reply, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.As soon as Stephen woke up the next morning, he saw the message from Jack. Seeing the affirmative response from Roxanne, the heavy boulder that had been weighing on him in the past few days finally eased.

If I’m correct, Lucian is only attacking Hightower Group because my daughter offended Roxanne. As long as she can obtain her forgiveness, the Hightower family will likely be able to get out of the crisis this time.

Great relief suffused him at that thought. During breakfast, he initially wanted to lecture his pampered daughter as usual when she was late. But upon remembering that he still had something to ask of her, he swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

“I’ve already had Jack set up an appointment with the lady you offended a few days ago. Find a time to apologize to her in person,” Stephen instructed tersely.

Hearing that, Jessica abruptly stilled and lifted her eyes to look at her father in utter disbelief.

She didn’t think that she had done anything wrong.

The Hightower and Damaris families were pretty close. For that reason, she had made the acquaintance of a number of young and talented individuals who enjoyed some prestige in the medical field.

However, she had never heard of Roxanne.

Despite Lucian backing Roxanne up that night, Jessica still questioned Roxanne’s medical skills and her capability of securing a collaboration with the Damaris family.

She initially thought that her father would understand her.

But never had she expected him to ground her after she was sent home that night.

In the past few days, I hadn’t even stepped foot out of the house. Now, he has brought this matter up again, but he actually wants me to apologize to her. What gives?

No sooner had she spoken than the person in front of her snapped her head back viciously. Jabbing a finger in her face, Jessica lambasted, “Even you want to control me now? Who do you think you are? Shut up!”

The housekeeper’s face flushed bright red at the severe censure. She went wholly silent.

Only when Jessica had finished lashing out and whirled around to stalk up the stairs did she dare to straighten up. She then cleared the dining table without daring to utter a single word.

Jessica returned to her bedroom, looking all grim. As she recalled her father’s words earlier, resentment glinted in her eyes.

He wants me to apologize to that b*tch? Hah, that’s impossible! But since he already made himself clear, I’m afraid I’d have to meet her anyway.

The mere thought of having to meet Roxanne again caused a wave of disgust to wash over her.
