Chapter 723 Shocking News

Although he was initially surprised by Roxanne’s words, Jack quickly found it reasonable after giving it some thought.

When he saw the resolve written all over Roxanne’s face, Jack couldn’t help but feel moved by it.

Finally, they made their way through the heavy traffic and managed to arrive at the restaurant right on the dot.

They expected Jessica to have arrived; however, the latter was nowhere to be seen.

As the empty table caused both of them to exchange glances, a sense of dread descended upon the two of them concurrently.

“I’ll call and check,” Jack suggested with a cocked brow once they took their seats.

“Jack, have you arrived?”

Jessica’s voice rang out the moment the call connected.

With the phone on speaker, Jack grunted in response before asking, “Where are you?”

At that moment, Jessica—sitting languidly in the café next door—replied with an apologetic tone, “I’m really sorry. Please wait a few more minutes for me, as I’m currently stuck in traffic. I thought I was going to be early when I left home but…”

Her explanation caused Jack and Roxanne to glance at each other. Although they were skeptical about it, they couldn’t find any fault with the excuse since it was indeed peak hour.

Even though Roxanne’s house was close, traffic did hold them back for almost half an hour.

As a result, Jessica would naturally take longer since Hightower residence was even further away.

Having considered it, Jack replied grimly, “All right then. There’s no need to rush. Just drive safe.”

However, unknown to them, a camera flash repeatedly lit up from amongst the trees outside the window.

Back at the café Jessica was in, she had just finished a cup of coffee when the screen on her phone started blinking.

After throwing it a glance, she picked it up to answer.

“I’ve gotten the pictures,” said a voice succinctly.

His words elicited a cocked brow from Jessica as she replied in glee, “In that case, I’ll be waiting for your shocking exposé tomorrow.”

“Me too,” the man responded in a solemn tone.

With that, Jessica ended the call.
