Chapter 718 Surprised She Is Willing To Apologize
Despite her reluctance, Estella knew that they would definitely be frequent visitors henceforth since her father was
pursuing Roxanne. Thus, she obediently slid off the couch and sweetly bid Roxanne farewell before leaving with
Lucian.
Only when Lucian’s car had driven into the distance did Roxanne turn back around and return to the mansion with
Archie and Benny.
The two boys spent the whole day playing and worrying about the adults’ matters, so they started yawning
incessantly now that things had settled down.
It was already pretty late, so Roxanne had them go in and rest while she went to the study.
As the top prestigious family in the medical field in the country, the Damaris family attracted much attention

Consequently, the research institute established this time promptly came to light as soon as it was completed.
When it came to the collaboration this time, the Damaris family didn’t plan on keeping a low profile. Instead, they
would be publicizing the list of their collaborators in the next few days.
By then, that list would not only represent the collaborators of the Damaris family, but it would also signify the
Damaris family pointing out the top doctors in the country to the ordinary people in Chanaea.
As one of the members on that list, Roxanne had to work all the harder to improve her medical skills so that she
wouldn’t disappoint anyone.
While she was poring over medical books, her phone at the side rang all of a sudden.
She glanced at it, only to see that it was a call from Jack.
Hence, she answered the call without hesitation. “Is something the matter that you’re calling at this hour, Mr.
Damaris?”
Jack massaged his brows, sounding a touch solemn. “Do you still remember the daughter of the Hightower family
back then, Ms. Jarvis? I mean, the woman who railed at you while in a drunken state.”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne combed through her memories before she finally recalled the person in question.
Almost all her focus had been occupied by Lucian and the project recently, so she would have long since cast that
woman to the back of her mind if Jack didn’t mention her.
“Yes, I remember her. Why?” she queried in puzzlement.
“It was because of this matter that my grandfather suddenly called me home this afternoon. He asked me to help
contact you, claiming that Jessica Hightower would like to apologize to you in person. What do you think? If you
don’t want to go, I can turn it down for you,” Jack uttered.
Roxanne wavered for a long moment.

naturally have to show the old man some respect.
On the other end of the phone, Jack seemingly discerned her thoughts. In a deep voice, he added, “You don’t need
to worry about my grandfather. He won’t doubt your capabilities because of such an irrelevant matter.”
Roxanne smiled gratefully at his reassurance. Then, she answered calmly, “It’s okay. If Ms. Hightower is sincere
about apologizing, I don’t mind meeting her. Who knows, we can be friends.”
Never having expected her to agree so readily, Jack was stunned for a few seconds. Subsequently, he warned with
a frown, “Forget about making friends with her. I’m already surprised she’s willing to apologize, considering her
temperament. I’m afraid the meeting this time won’t be that pleasant.”
Roxanne had only interacted with Jessica once, so she didn’t understand her all that well.
Her heart grew heavy when she heard Jack’s remark, but still, she found it necessary to do Hector that favor.
“Thank you for the warning, Mr. Damaris. I’ll be careful when meeting her.”
The Damaris family would be publicizing the list soon, so she didn’t want to start any unnecessary trouble.
Jack grunted in acknowledgment. The two of them then bid each other good night before hanging up.
