Just imagining how Roxanne was ridiculed by the public was enough to spark a sense of elation within Jessica.
Now that she had figured out her plan, the grim-looking Jessica made a few calls.
In the afternoon, Stephen’s expression drastically darkened at the sight of Jessica's empty seat.
After all, he had gone all out to obtain an opportunity to seek Lucian’s forgiveness.
Little did he expect that after all that he had done, his plans were foiled by his own daughter.
Regardless of how much effort he put in, it would be all for naught if Jessica refused to apologize.
At that moment, given how late his daughter was to lunch, it was clear that she had no intention of showing any remorse.
Just as Stephen’s frustration began to set in, the sound of footsteps could be heard from upstairs, followed by Jessica emerging from the corner of the stairs.
The sight of her elicited a sigh of relief from Stephen. Subsequently, his tone was very much eased when he spoke. “Have you given the matter | told you sthought?” His words caused Jessica's expression to darken momentarily before recovering its usual calm.

So, instead of delaying it any further, can you helpask Ms. Jarvis if she’s free tonight?” The relieved Stephen answered, “All right. I'll check with her.” From his perspective, apologizing to Roxanne and obtaining her forgiveness as soon as possible was the best possible outcome.
Only then would Lucian let Hightower Group go.
After lunch, Stephen sent Jack a message to check if he and Roxanne were available that night in front of his daughter.
When Jack received the message, a sense of dread crept into him.

After being told of the appointment, an icy glint flashed across Jessica's eyes.
“Remember to mind your attitude in the evening.” Worried that his daughter would behave rashly again, the concerned Stephen reminded, “Ms. Jarvis has powerful patrons. Hence, she’s not someone we can afford to offend.” Unfortunately, her father’s words had only served to intensify Jessica's contempt for Roxanne and fanned the flames of her desire to ruin the latter's reputation.
When evening arrived, Jessica headed out early.
Thinking that she was really going to apologize to Roxanne, the naive Stephen watched her get into the car and left.
