Chapter 635 More people began to express their amity toward Roxanne and Larry. It wasn't long before the ambiance of the room grew harmonious and relaxed.

Jack waited a while longer, and after seeing Roxanne and Larry return to their seats, he began to introduce the other doctors.

Every figure here had some achievements in the medical field, so a mere mention of his or her was more than sufficient. Soon, everyone felt nothing but respect for one another, not to mention the anticipation of their upcoming collaboration.

Now that official talks were out of the way, the audience moved to light-hearted) topics, striking up conversations with those they were well-acquainted with.

Despite not being a fan of socializing, Jack took the lead and headed to the middle of the crowd with a wine glass in hand.

Roxanne and Larry clinked glasses with all the elders there before returning to their seats. “It looks like the collaboration will go well,” Larry commented, grinning.

Roxanne nodded in response and shot a glance at Jack, who was among the crowd. The man deserved all the credit for creating such a lovely atmosphere.

| thought he was just a good doctor. | didn’t think he’d make such a capable leader too. Then again, it’s no surprise. If the future heir of the great Damaris family can’t even control a crowd like this, there’s no way Old Mr. Damaris would ever approve of him.

Just as everyone chatted away happily, the door to the banquet hall suddenly flew open.

The crowd instinctively looked toward the entrance, only to watch a group of young, aristocratic women make their way in.

The one in the lead wore a long, pure white off-shoulder fishtail dress. At a quick glance, one wouldn't be able to tell if she was a real classy lady or just trying to be one.

“Jack! What a coincidence!” the woman greeted coyly, striding over to Jack. “Indeed, Jessica,” Jack replied with a polite smile.

The Damaris family shared good relations with the Hightowers. Jessica Hightower, the eldest daughter of her family, was two years older than Jack. The two had been getting along fairly well in recent years.

Even so, Jack was slightly displeased to see her barge in like this with her clique.

This was a banquet for the Damaris family’s future allies, after all. It was also an event held for official business. Hence, Jessica's arrival was rather untimely.

Despite that, the man kept these thoughts to himself. “This is?” someone asked in confusion.

Jack composed himself and introduced the woman nonchalantly, “This is Jessica Hightower. She's the heiress of the Hightower family.” With a grin, Jessica waved at the audience. “I just so happen to be having a party with my girls next door and heard that Jack was here, so | thought I'd drop by to say hi. | hope I'm not being a bother!” Seeing that she knew Jack and learning from their prior experience with Roxanne and Larry, the crowd broke into a wide smile, not daring to mistreat this woman.

Suddenly, someone nudged Jessica, signaling her to look in Roxanne’s direction. Jessica's face clouded over instantly. What is such a pretty girl like her doing here? And it looks like she’s sitting right next to Jack too! Previous Chapter Next Chapter
