Chapter 728 Is The Hightower Family Involved

Initially, Roxanne wanted to put out a statement. However, since her Twitter account 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 contemplation, she decided to give Colby a call and got him to use the research institute’s account to

put out her clarification.

Although the account wasn’t particularly popular, 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 clarified, “I can’t really give you a good explanation but what happened last

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 the netizens 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 hour later, 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 account, netizens 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 similar comments populated the feed, to the extent Jack ended up arguing with the netizens in the comments

section.

After skimming through the comments, 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 blame.

Upon reading her message, the frowning Jack furrowed went through the comments online.

It was then that he realized his presence had shifted the netizens’ 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 the netizens realized Jack had left, they swarmed toward the research institute’s Twitter account

and demanded for Roxanne to give an explanation.

Naturally, Colby couldn’t tolerate the slander 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 the netizens were laymen who were not bothered about such details.

In fact, even those who could see through the situation had their voices drowned swiftly.
