Chapter 700


    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. I had your grandpa call you home


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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.


    As far as I 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 other


    who will harbor grudges.”


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