    Chapter 729 Silence Is Acquiescence


    Meanwhile, Jessica had switched on the morning news early that morning at the Hightower residence, waiting to see Roxanne


    embarrass herself.


    As she had anticipated, Roxanne was condemned all over the inte as soon as the news was reported.


    However, Jessica had not expected Jack to defend Roxanne, nor did she anticipate that the Damaris family would be dragged


    down too.


    Feeling somewhat guilty over the situation, she hurriedly arranged for people to cause trouble at Roxanne’s research institute.


    As a result, when Roxanne checked the news once more at noon that day, she saw the footage of arge crowd of reporters and


    people demanding exnations blocking the entrance of her research institute.


    She tensed up when she saw the scene on the screen, and without any hesitation, she immediately got up and rushed to the


    research institute.


    Their target is me. | can’t allow this matter to affect the institute’s employees.


    Half an hourter, Roxanne appeared at the entrance of the research institute.


    The minute the reporters and the crowd present noticed her, they turned around and rushed toward her.


    “You must be Ms. Jarvis, right? Do you have anything to say about the criticism on the inte?”


    “What exactly is your rtionship with Mr. Damaris? Are the rumors on the inte true that you joined the project through


    connections?”


    Roxanne stepped out of the car to find herself surrounded by people, and all she could see were ck microphones.


    Some people even shoved their microphones to her face and kept leaning toward her.


    Despite having prepared herself mentally, Roxanne was still a little overwhelmed by the situation and could only lean her back


    against the car door to stabilize herself.


    Just as she was about to speak, a reporter immediately interrupted her, “Other than you, we''ve heard a lot about every doctor on


    the list. How would you evaluate your medical skills?”Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    Since Roxanne was more or less ustomed to the doubt over her medical abilities, she immediately responded, “The Twitter


    ount of our research institute has posted all the medical projects I’ve participated in during this period. You can check out the


    ount if you have any questions about my medical skills.”


    She intended to add something after that but was interrupted once more. “Even so, your aplishments are still much inferior


    to those of the other doctors on the list. Do you acknowledge that?”


    The question brought a frown to Roxanne’s face.


    Many of those on the list were more experienced than her in the medical field, so she naturally could not deny the reporter’s


    words.


    Nheless, if she acknowledged it, not only would it mean that she had tacitly admitted that her qualifications were far from


    enough to work with the Damaris family, but it would also prove that the web rumors were true.


    Realizing that it was a trap, Roxanne was unsure of how to respond at that moment.


    However, the crowd took her silence as a sign of acquiescence, creating an uproar among them once more.


    One after another, questions flooded Roxanne’s ears.


    Just as she was feeling helpless, there was a suddenmotion outside of the crowd.


    The crowd seemed to be attracted to something as they fell silent and looked in the direction of themotion.


    Roxanne had no idea what was happening outside the crowd from where she was standing in the heart of it. She only knew that


    their attention had shifted away from her, giving her a moment of reprieve to think of a way to deal with it.


    “Mr. Farwell?”


    Just as she was trying toe up with a solution, she suddenly heard an exmation of surprise.


    Roxanne froze when she heard that, and she could not help but question if her ears were ying tricks on her.


    How could a man as busy as Lucian show up here at this time of day?
