Chapter 880 Fury

Colby’s expression changed again and again.

After a long moment, he finally said awkwardly, “This is Dr. Jarvis’ privacy. Mr. Damaris, I only brought it up to you

because I thought you knew about it. But it seems to me now that you aren’t aware of it, so let’s drop that topic.”

Jack raised his brows and glanced at Colby. The dubious look in his eyes was enough to tell what he was thinking at

that moment.

Colby was startled for a few seconds, feeling embarrassed. However, on second thought, he knew he would have to

get in the Damaris family’s good book if he wanted to soar to a career height on par with Roxanne’s.

Suppressing the unpleasant emotions in his heart, he started sharing his history with Roxanne. “I met Dr. Jarvis

when she was living abroad, and we worked together multiple times after that. After returning to the country, I

thought I would lose contact with Dr. Jarvis. But surprisingly, she returned to the country shortly after I did. She

even started operating this research institute with me.” As he spoke, he casually took in Jack’s expression.

“Although it hasn’t been long since Dr. Jarvis returned to the country, she and I have worked and solved many

issues together.”

He made it clear that he was very close with Roxanne. On one hand, he wanted to use his connections with

Roxanne to get closer to the Damaris family. On the other hand, he wanted to instill more convincing points in what

he had said earlier to salvage his dignity.

Jack maintained a neutral expression and listened to everything Colby said. Then he smiled. “So, Dr. Galloway, I

guess it’s safe for me to assume you’re pretty close with Ms. Jarvis.”

Colby smiled in response to that but said nothing.

Jack went on, “But then, your relationship seems strictly business. You don’t seem to interact much with her beyond

your work.”

Colby stiffened up at that.

It was true that he did not interact much with Roxanne out of work, and that was what had been troubling Colby all

this while.

Technically speaking, Colby had known Roxanne for a time frame not shorter than Jack knew Roxanne, but Colby

had only gone to her place once to give her medicine when she needed it. Even then, he had only stood in her

courtyard instead of being invited inside.

As for Roxanne’s children, he had also only met them a few times when Roxanne brought them to the research

institute while living abroad. He hadn’t seen them ever since returning to the country.

On the other hand, Jack seemed pretty close with the kids despite not knowing them for too long. He even knew

when the kids had fallen sick.

Colby could not help thinking about how close Jack was with Roxanne, and jealousy started brewing wildly within

him.

“It’s getting late now. Dr. Galloway, I should get going if you have nothing else.” Jack could not be bothered by

Colby’s inner thoughts. He bade goodbye to him, turned around, and got into his car.

Although the Damaris family was prominent in the medical field, Jack was more of a businessman. He could

effortlessly read Colby’s emotions by just observing his expression.

Seeing that Jack had gotten inside his car, Colby snapped back to his senses. His eyes were filled with fury as he

watched Jack drive away.

He refused to think Jack did not understand his intention after he told him so many things. He believed Jack

understood his message but decided not to interfere.

Even so, Jack could have changed the topic or cut him off directly, but he did not do that. Instead, he had allowed

Colby to keep talking as he watched him in amusement.

Thinking back on how Jack had inadvertently led him to continue telling him more, Colby angrily slammed his fist on

the research institute wall.
