Chapter 647

Everyone heard Jessica clearly.

Of course, they did not know much about the medical field. Hence, they merely nodded at Jessica’s remarks.

After all, they had the perception that accomplished doctors would typically be in their fifties. People would not

normally associate a young and beautiful woman like Roxanne with being an accomplished doctor in the medical

field.

Jessica’s hand edged closer and closer to Roxanne’s face. The latter’s face turned cold. She was ready to swat off

Jessica’s hand at any moment right then.

However, before Roxanne could do so, a large hand struck first and immobilized Jessica’s hand.

The man clutching her hand had evidently exerted a considerable amount of force, so much so that Jessica lost her

balance and staggered a few steps back and missed Roxanne’s face.

“You could consult Dr. Lambert if you have any doubts about her medical skills, or you could also ask Old Mr.

Queen. I believe he will have an answer for you.” Lucian threw a scornful look at the tipsy woman before him. “Also,

if you can’t control yourself after having a few drinks, you’d better not attend these functions.”

Before Jessica could respond, Lucian eyed the crowd and fixed his gaze on Cayden as he ordered, “Get someone to

send Ms. Hightower home.”

Cayden hastily agreed.

Lucian’s grip hurt Jessica’s wrist, and she slowly snapped out of her daze. Her blurry vision slowly became focused

as she started to recognize the man before her.

“M-Mr. Farwell?” Her voice turned shaky as she registered the face in front of her.

Lucian looked daggers at her. Noticing that she was finally sobering up, he swung her off to one side with a

disdained look on his face. “I’m glad that you’ve finally sobered up, Ms. Hightower. I think it’s best that you refrain

from drinking from now on.”

Jessica felt her legs going jelly at the realization. She staggered a few steps backward before she could finally

steady herself.

Despite Lucian’s rough treatment, Jessica dared not utter another word as she lowered her head, still reeling in

from the shock.

When Cayden finally brought along some people as Lucian instructed, he hesitated as he waited for Lucian’s orders

for his next course of action.

Lucian glanced at the woman beside him.

However, it did not seem that Roxanne wanted anything to do with the mess.

Seeing as the misunderstanding had been resolved, Roxanne wanted to just put it all behind her.

She said, “It’s great that you’re sober now, Ms. Hightower. I’d like to excuse myself if there is nothing else.”

Then, she looked around the crowd and stated, “It’s only a misunderstanding. I’d appreciate it if all of you would

move on and refrain from spreading gossip.”

Lucian furrowed his brows in disagreement when he noticed that she was trying to play down the situation.

However, he said nothing and went along with her as he shot a warning glare at the

crowd.

The crowd agreed not to spread the rumor as they met Lucian’s admonishing stare.

Roxanne flashed a grateful smile at the crowd. When she lowered her gaze, however, there was ar unmistakable

weary look in her eyes.

She had drunk her fair share of alcohol just now. As a result, she was feeling dizzy. After going through the drama,

Roxanne was utterly drained.

Lucian noticed her tired look, and his eyes darkened. He turned to Cayden and said, “Send Ms. Hightower home,

and let Mr. Hightower know that she is sent home on my order.”

Jessica was slow to make sense of Lucian’s remarks.

However, the same could not be said for everyone else. They reckoned that life for Jessica would not be easy after

this shenanigan that she had pulled.

If Jessica’s father, Stephen Hightower, knew that his daughter had offended Lucian, there was a slim chance that

she would ever get to show her face in the public after this.
