The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 731 How To Clarify

Roxanne looked at the man before her. At the thought that he came to help her out of the situation despite being angry, she was moved and softened her expression as she briefly and concisely told him what had happened the day before.

"Ms. Hightower told Jack to get in touch with me, saying that she wanted to apologize to me in person. I went for the appointment as I couldn't refuse her request. I never expected to be photographed then. The photo of us holding hands was Jack supporting me because I nearly fell down the stairs. I knew I'd be drinking during the meal so I didn't drive. Jack drove me there instead as we were heading the same way, and he sent me back afterward. He only dropped me at the entrance and didn't even get out of the car."

She knew what explanation the man wanted from her, so she picked the part he wanted to hear in the hope that it would calm him down and he would not put her in a difficult spot before the media. Lucian's eyes darkened when he heard her explanation. The suspicion in his eyes gradually faded alongside the anger within him, but he quickly discovered something was off.

"If Jessica went to apologize to you, why are you and Jack the only two people in the photo? Where was she?"

Roxanne's tone was hesitant when she replied with a slight frown, "Ms. Hightower told us to eat first as she was stuck in traffic. That photo was taken while we were waiting for her."
