Chapter 727 Suppressing The News After watching Madilyn leave with the children, Roxanne went upstairs into the study and checked the news on her phone.

The moment she went on Twitter, she saw the top trending topics. Pretty Doctor Pulled Strings To Advance Her Career. Jack Damaris Goes On A Late-night Date With A Pretty Doctor. Jack Damaris’ Love Life Exposed...

One by one, the topics were either related to her relationship with Jack or casting doubt on her credentials as a partner in the Damaris family’s project.

Just looking at those topics gave Roxanne a headache.

Upon randomly clicking on one of them, she saw that it had almost a million views.

Jack Damaris dates one of the doctors of the Damaris family’s new project. Their suspected relationship was exposed...

Inserted underneath the title were a few blurry photographs.

The first one showed Roxanne sitting opposite Jack in the restaurant. Both of them looked like they were chatting, while the table in front of them was filled with food.

The second picture showed them at the staircase of the restaurant entrance. Jack turned around to hold Roxanne’s hand and they looked intimate.

Finally, the last picture was Jack dropping Roxanne off at her home.

After going through them, a sense of gloominess hung over Roxanne.

Even though our photos were taken throughout the night, Jack and | were completely oblivious to the fact.

As for the comments below, they could only be described as colorful.

A: Is she that Dr. Jarvis on the list? | knew there was something strange about her. How can someone so young be such a skilled doctor? B: Just as expected, she’s on the list because of her looks! Having said that, Dr. Jarvis is really pretty. If | were in the same position, | would have included her on the list too! C: What a beautiful couple! The first comment that doubted her capabilities instantly disheartened Roxanne.

Even though she was expecting it the moment the name list was released, she never imagined it would happen in such a manner.

Due to the exposé, the doubt cast upon her credentials was the most discussed matter.

Finally, she received a call from Jack while she was still surfing Twitter.

It took her a few seconds to regain her senses before answering it.

“I'm sorry. | just saw the news online.” Jack was extremely apologetic over the phone. “Don’t worry. I'll take responsibility by removing all the fake news.” Despite his reassurances, the frowning Roxanne still had her concerns. Nonetheless, she replied, “Thank you.” After a momentary silence, Jack continued, “About what happened last night, I'll demand an explanation from the Hightower family. Given Jessica's strange behavior, she must definitely have something to do with this.” Surprised by his point, Roxanne hesitated for a few seconds before stopping him. “Let's just let it slide since we don’t have any evidence. What matters now is clarifying the rumors online.” Even though Roxanne shared his suspicions, she knew Jessica would unlikely admit to it in the absence of any proof.

Therefore, confronting her was a futile endeavor.

Furthermore, now that the news had exploded, all Roxanne could get from the mastermind was an apology even if she found them. That was of no help to her current predicament.

Over the line, Roxanne’s dissuasion prompted Jack to realize his hastiness. Upon calming down and seeing her perspective, he replied in a deep voice, “You're right. | was too consumed by my emotions. Let me think of a way to suppress the controversy first.” After Roxanne hummed in agreement, Jack ended the call quickly.

Watching her phone screen fade to black, Roxanne took a deep breath.

With Jack taking action, she too, couldn't sit idly by and allow the matter to go out of hand.
