Mission To Remarry novel (Roxanne and Lucian) novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729 Silence Is Acquiescence

Meanwhile, Jessica had switched on the morning news early that morning at the Hightower residence, waiting to see Roxanne embarrass herself.

As she had anticipated, Roxanne was condemned all over the internet as soon as the news was reported. However, Jessica had not expected Jack to defend Roxanne, nor did she anticipate that the Damaris family would be dragged down too.

Feeling somewhat guilty over the situation, she hurriedly arranged for people to cause trouble at Roxanne’s research institute.

As a result, when Roxanne checked the news once more at noon that day, she saw the footage of a large crowd of reporters and people demanding explanations blocking the entrance of her research institute.

She tensed up when she saw the scene on the screen, and without any hesitation, she immediately got up and rushed to the research institute.

Their target is me. I can’t allow this matter to affect the institute’s employees. Half an hour later, Roxanne appeared at the entrance of the research institute.

The minute the reporters and the crowd present noticed her, they turned around and rushed toward her. “You must be Ms. Jarvis, right? Do you have anything to say about the criticism on the internet?”

“What exactly is your relationship with Mr. Damaris? Are the rumors on the internet true that you joined the project through connections?”

Roxanne stepped out of the car to find herself surrounded by people, and all she could see were black microphones.

Some people even shoved their microphones to her face and kept leaning toward her.

Despite having prepared herself mentally, Roxanne was still a little overwhelmed by the situation and could only lean her back against the car door to stabilize herself.

“I—”

Just as she was about to speak, a reporter immediately interrupted her, “Other than you, we’ve heard a lot about every doctor on the list. How would you evaluate your medical skills?”

Just as she was feeling helpless, there was a sudden commotion outside of the crowd.

The crowd seemed to be attracted to something as they fell silent and looked in the direction of the commotion.

Roxanne had no idea what was happening outside the crowd from where she was standing in the heart of it. She only knew that their attention had shifted away from her, giving her a moment of reprieve to think of a way to deal with it.

“Mr. Farwell?”

Just as she was trying to come up with a solution, she suddenly heard an exclamation of surprise.

Roxanne froze when she heard that, and she could not help but question if her ears were playing tricks on her.

How could a man as busy as Lucian show up here at this time of day?
