Chapter 728
Chapter 728 Is The Hightower Family Involved
Initially, Roxanne wanted to put out a statement. However, since her Twitter ount was mostly used
to surf for news, it essentially had no content. Therefore, whatever she had to say would likely not
reach anyone.
After further contemtion, she decided to give Colby a call and got him to use the research institute’s
ount to put out her rification.
Although the ount wasn’t particrly popr, it was still a much better option than using
hers. “What happened?” Colby had gone to the research institute early and only learned of the
controversy when Roxanne gave him a call.
When he saw the pictures of Roxanne and Jack interacting with each other, he felt a faint squeeze in
his heart. Sighing in resignation, Roxanne rified, “I can’t really give you a good exnation but what
happenedst night was a misunderstanding. Both of us were not alone at the dinner.”
Even though her assurances failed to cheer Colby up, he remained hopeful and persuaded himself to
have faith in Roxanne.
After all, if I don’t trust her, one can’t expect theizens who are ridiculing her to do the same.
Moreover, Roxanne has no reason to lie about the matter.
Holding that thought, the relieved Colby answered in a grim voice, “I understand. I’ll put the statement
out.” Roxanne grunted in acknowledgment before ending the call.

Half an hourter, both Jack’s and the research institute’s statements were released at almost the
same time and quickly became a trending topic.
However, instead of convincing anyone, the response triggered was entirely hostile and filled with
skepticism. In fact, on Jack’s Twitter ount,izens even began to cast doubt on the Damaris family.
B3232: Why are the Damaris family’s selection criteria for the partners so lenient? How can one be
included in such an important project or even end up on the name list by pulling some strings? Do you
take us for fools?
Love212: Is being pretty all that’s needed to be selected? In that case, even I am qualified.
Many simrments popted the feed, to the extent Jack ended up arguing with theizens in
thements section.
After skimming through thements, Roxanne sent Jack a message: Don’t worry about me. I’ll deal
with this myself.
At the other end, the sullen-looking Jack was busy responding to the barrage of insults. Subsequently,
he was baffled when he received Roxanne’s sudden message. He responded: I was the one who
caused this, so how can I sit idly by and do nothing?
Smiling wryly, Roxanne replied: Just let me be the lightning rod of their disparagement. At the rate
you’re going, the Damaris family will be dragged into the matter. When that happens, I’ll be the one to
me.
Upon reading her message, the frowning Jack furrowed went through thements online.
It was then that he realized his presence had shifted theizens’ focus from Roxanne to the Damaris
family.
If he were to continue on his path, the Damaris family’s reputation— built over a century—would be
ruined.
Cognizant of what was at stake, Jack weighed his options before deciding to remain silent. In spite of
that, he still couldn’t just sit around and do nothing. Jack: In that case, I’ll investigate if the Hightower
family was behind this.
Roxanne responded with her agreement.
Meanwhile, when theizens realized Jack had left, they swarmed toward the research institute’s
Twitter ount and demanded for Roxanne to give an exnation.
Naturally, Colby couldn’t tolerate the nder against Roxanne. Faced with their relentless skepticism
about her medical skills, he posted a list of all the major projects that the research institute had
completed under Roxanne’s leadership.
Unfortunately, most of theizens wereymen who were not bothered about such details.
In fact, even those who could see through the situation had their voices drowned swiftly.
