Chapter 643
As soon as she said that, and before the people could react, Jessica lunged toward Roxanne.
Jack had pushed her closer to Roxanne just now, so there was no one between the two.
By the time Larry turned around upon hearing the commotion, Jessica was already a hair’s breadth away from Roxanne.
“Roxanne, watch out!” Larry cried out, barely managing to pull Roxanne behind him.
At the same time, Jack walked over and gripped Jessica’s arm. “Are you done?”
Jessica ended up lunging toward an empty spot and was even berated by Jack. Her anger reached its peak, and she burst into tears. As she bawled, she pointed at Roxanne and continued cursing. There were people walking out of the hotel, and when they noticed the commotion, they stopped in their tracks to watch the drama.
Roxanne stood behind Larry, her heart still
racing. She noticed that there were more and more people gathering around them, and she knew that she had to step forward and end the scene.
If things were to continue, Roxanne could not imagine what rumors would spread
tomorrow.
With that thought in mind, Roxanne took in a deep breath to recollect herself before stepping out from behind Larry.
“How dare you come out? This is all because of you. You seduced Jack!” Jessica shrieked.
Jack furrowed his brows and tightened his grip on her arm.
It was his first time encountering something like this, and he frankly had no idea how he should clear things up.S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Fɪndηovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Right as he was overwhelmed by his dilemma, Roxanne’s calm voice sounded.
“Ms. Hightower, I’ve already told you that we’re only business partners. At most, we’re friends. If I was really seducing Mr. Damaris, Mr. Morrison wouldn’t be standing here now.”
Roxanne pinched her palm to calm herself down. “Moreover, even if I’m in a relationship with Mr. Damaris, you have no reason to act like a madwoman here. I mean, who are you to chide me?” Her last question hit the bullseye.
“I…” Tears stained Jessica’s face, and she failed to continue her sentence.
In the end, she grabbed the hem of Jack’s shirt desperately and mumbled despairingly, “Jack, I like you. How can you do this to me?”
Nevertheless, regardless of how polite Jack was, he could no longer keep up with the courteous demeanor in the face of a drunk, troublesome woman.
He only swallowed and frowned in silence as he held himself back to the best of his ability while Jessica continued to cling to him.
Right then, a group of men in suits came out of the hotel.
The man walking in the front of the group had been chatting with the people when he turned to see that the hotel entrance was blocked by a crowd. Instantly, his expression turned cold, and he turned to question the hotel manager, “What are those people doing? Why are they blocking the hotel entrance so late at night?”
The manager glanced at the man who spoke and explained weakly, “Someone’s drunk and causing a scene by the entrance. We’ve sent our staff members to deal with it, but…” The patrons that the hotel served were rich and powerful, so none of the staff members dared to resort to force, and their efforts to persuade Jessica to stop fell short.
The manager hesitated for a beat before suggesting tentatively, “Mr. Farwell, if you don’t mind, you can exit through our employee’s lane. It’ll be faster.” Lucian glanced at the faraway crowd and drew his brows together in disdain.
