Chapter 735 An Uncontrollable Degree Boiling with rage, Stephen banged on the door.
Jessica glanced at the door with a sullen look before getting up and walking over.
She saw how infuriated her father looked the moment she opened the door.
“Is this your doing?” the man roared at her.
Jessica froze momentarily.

It's all Roxanne’s fault.
In spite of her fear, the woman mustered up the courage to stare at her father. “What did | do wrong? All | wanted was to show everyone her true colors!” Stephen's brows furrowed deeply at that. “What did you say?” “Seriously, | don’t know what people see in her that even the Queen family would step forward to defend her! I'll never believe she could cure Old Mr. Queen!” Stephen grew puzzled at her words, and deep down, he began to sense that something was off.
It felt as though his daughter had committed something atrocious unbeknown to him.
Feeling his stomach drop upon recalling what Farwell Group had done tonight, he strode into Jessica's bedroom and gazed at her phone screen.
Then, he picked up the device to see a string of comments—all of which were about Roxanne.
It all started from the three photos that surfaced last night.
At that moment, Stephen realized that his daughter was behind the whole incident.
“You imbecile!” With a bellow, he smashed Jessica's phone into bits.
The woman jumped in fright and stared at her father. “Are you insane? What are you getting all worked up for?” Yet, she received a vicious slap across the face as soon as her words fell.
She clutched her cheek and tumed to her father in disbelief.
“Do you have any idea who has Roxanne’s back?” Stephen yelled in fury. “It's because you got on her nerves back then that Farwell Group started giving us hell the very next day! Why do you think I told you to apologize to her? But look at what you've done now! Do you think Farwell Group's going to let us off this time?” Jessica was rendered speechless for a moment. “That can't be... | know Lucian’s fiancée. Why would he ever back Roxanne up?” Seeing that the circumstances had unfolded to such an extent, Stephen could only cling to the last hope he possibly had. “I want you to apologize to Roxanne publicly! Do it now and post it online. We might still stand a chance if you manage to subdue these comments!” Despite her reluctance, Jessica knew she had no choice but to concede when Farwell Group was against them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a matter of minutes, she used another phone to post a public apology on Twitter, citing her jealousy over Roxanne and Jack's relationship as the reason behind her actions.
Her words appeared sincere enough, but unfortunately, the post caused nothing more than a small buzz before being flooded by similar comments once again.
Even if more people now believed in Roxanne, the suspicions from those who didn't still carry a considerable amount of impact on her.
Both Jessica and Stephen's faces turned increasingly pale as the number of comments continued to pick up.
Evidently, the situation had escalated to an uncontrollable degree.
At this rate, it'll be over for the Hightower family.
Jessica's eyes became filled with panic, followed by hatred.
It's all because of Roxanne! As if seducing Jack wasn’t enough, she even went after Lucian when he already has a fiancée! None of this would've happened to our family if it weren't for her!
