    Chapter 642


    “Jessica, what are you doing?” Jack stood in front of Roxanne grimly.


    Jessica was drunk, and she had lost most of her inhibition and rationality. Therefore, when she saw Jack defending Roxanne,


    she became even more enraged.


    Despite that, Jessica was still gentle with Jack. “Move aside, Jack! This has nothing to do with you.” In fact, she still tried to


    squeeze out a smile for him.


    Jack frowned. “Jessica, we’re in a public space, so please mind your behavior. Go back soon if you’re drunk!”


    With that, his eyes flitted toward Jessica’s friends, a sign of him wanting them to take Jessica away.


    They immediately understood what he meant and carefully came over.


    However, just as they were about to reach Jessica, Jessica spotted them.


    “Get lost, all of you!” Jessica shouted hysterically before turning to look at the spot behind Jack. “Come out here,


    Roxanne! What are you scared of?”


    Roxanne met her gaze with a frown. “Ms. Hightower, sober up. I’m only friends with Mr. Damaris.”


    Even if they did have a rtionship, Jessica had no right to intervene in it.


    After all, the only thing between Jessica and Jack was that Jessica had a crush on thetter.


    Still, those words were not hers to say.


    “Friends?” Jessicaughed mockingly. “You have plenty of friends, don’t you? It’s already sote, but Mr. Morrison and Jack are


    still keeping youpany. | knew it. You’re a minx who''s going after two men at once. You''re smug, aren’t you?”


    The moment those words were out of her mouth, the expressions of the trio darkened.


    “Jessica Hightower,” Jack bellowed. “Mind your words. You and | have no romantic rtionship to speak of. Ms. Jarvis is only a


    business partner and a friend to us. What nonsense are you spouting?”


    Jessica was stunned by his words, and she


    said aggrievedly, “Jack, what are you talking about? | like you!”


    Then she moved closer to Jack and stretched out her arms to hug him.


    Realizing what she was trying to do, Jack creased his forehead and instinctively pushed her away.


    Jessica stumbled and stood transfixed for a long while.


    Roxanne’s frown deepened. She wanted to support Jessica, but Larry grabbed her arm. “Roxanne, you can’t always be kind to


    others.”


    The icy tone that Larry had was one that Roxanne had never heard before.


    Roxanne halted in her tracks. When she thought about the animosity the other woman had toward her, she chose to remain in


    her spot.


    “You''re drunk!” Jack shouted, trying to keep his anger to himself as he stared at the stunned woman supporting herself by the


    wall. “Go home now, and I''ll pretend that this never happened.”


    Realizing how grave the situation was,


    Jessica’s friends quickly stepped forward to grab Jessica.


    “Jessica, Mr. Damaris is angry. Let’s hurry off now.”


    “Mr. Damaris, Dr. Jarvis, we''re really sorry. Jessica’s drunk, so please don’t hold her ountable for this.”


    The words of persuasion and the apologetic speech sounded at the same time.


    The young women then hurriedly tried to support Jessica again.


    However, before they could even touch her, Jessica clumsily straightened up with the help of the wall.


    The women sighed in relief, thinking that Jessica had sobered up. “Jessica—”Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “It''s all because of you!” Jessica red at Roxanne. “You b*tch! If not for you, Jack wouldn’t treat me like this!”
