    Chapter 700 Voluntarily Apologizing


    Roxanne snapped out of it and typed out a reply: Thank you, but it’s what I should have done. We will be working together in the


    future, so you shouldn''t be so courteous every time.


    Jack smiled guardedly and replied: Indeed, it won’t happen again. A rustling sound came from upstairs as soon as he sent the


    text.


    He pocketed the phone, and his gaze shot up to see a middle-aged man guiding Hector down the stairs in slow, measured steps,


    both of them engrossed in a conversation.


    The man’s presence made Jack frown, but he was a product of his upbringing, so he greeted politely, “Grandpa, Mr. Hightower.”


    That man was Stephen Hightower, Jessica’s father.


    One could only imagine why he would want Grandpa to summon me back home. The only possibility is to plead in favor of


    Jessica after the mess she made.


    Irritation surged in him when he remembered that night''s events. Hector and Stephen turned to look in his direction when he


    spoke. “You''re home so soon?” Hector nced at him with a smile, clearly enjoying his conversation with Stephen.


    A frown drew Jack''s brows together, and he nodded at Hector. “Why did you call me back?”


    Hector nced at Stephen. “I hope we didn’t interrupt you by summoning you back abruptly.” Stephen’s words of concern


    conveyed his apology. With Hector present, Jack decided not to escte the situation and only replied tly, “No.”


    Stephen heaved a sigh of relief. “That''s good. | had your grandpa call you home after Jessica told me things between both of you


    are tense. I’d like to apologize on her behalf.”


    “You and Jessica grew up together. What could possibly put a strain on your rtionship? Both of you can talk it out, whatever it


    is,” Hector advised.


    Now that Hector had spoken up, Jack could only say, “She was drunk that night. Tell her it doesn’t matter and that she shouldn''t


    take it personally.”


    Then, he arched his brow as he thought of something.


    Wait. Jessica should be apologizing to someone else. Themotion she caused that night was nothing but a mere annoyance


    to me, but Roxanne suffered the most. She should be apologizing to the right person.


    Stephen seemed to read his thoughts and continued, “Jessica mentioned that there was anotherdy involved, and she said she


    hopes to meet thedy to formally apologize.”


    Jack’s eyes mirrored doubt as he wondered when did Jessica be so mature.


    “You should know thedy if both of you were together that night. Why don’t you make arrangements so that Jessica could


    apologize to thatdy?” Stephen proposed.


    Jack’s doubt amplified when he heard that.Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    As far as | know, Jessica is domineering and will never admit to her fault when she makes a mistake. Why will she voluntarily


    apologize, especially to Roxanne, whom she detests?


    Hector’s voice rang out again when he was about to probe the reason. “You should do Mr. Hightower a favor since he asked. I’m


    guessing that the otherdy is Dr. Jarvis. Although we had only met once, | know she isn’t someone who will harbor grudges.”


    Jack frowned. “It’s not that simple, Grandpa.”
